Hey everyone!

Hope everyone is having a great week! School is almost out for me and I am thrilled! That also means updates more often! (You know if I can actually get my butt into gear...Well you never know)

Ok Chapter 26...Hope you enjoy.

Max POV

"Good afternoon class." My English teacher says. "Good afternoon." The class drones back. English... period 4, the only class without Fang, and I sit next to Dylan. I used to hate it, but now I'm not really quite sure how I feel about this class actually.

So here's the thing... Dylan is actually not that bad of a guy... to my great suprise. He was funny, nice, super cute, and thoughtful... but get this, he isn't Fang... And I want Fang, not necessarily as my boyfriend... no, I want my best friend back. I mean the boyfriend side would be nice because no matter how huge of a jerk he is, I'm still in love with him like a total idiot but... now I can't even talk to him.

And this folks, is why you never...ever date your best friend.

I fidget uncomfortably in my seat, thoughts of Fang ramaging through my head, and Dylan gives me a concerned look.

"You ok?" He whispers. I shrug and put my head down on the desk. Dylan sighs and puts a hand on my shoulder. "Better get your head up before Mrs. Meyers catches you." He says quietly. I growl and sit up. I know I have to get out of this class, because I'm not going to be able to sit here for much longer and stay sane.

And so... like the resourceful person I am, i raise my hand and ask to go to the bathroom. Mrs. Meyers rolls her eyes but writes me a pass anyways. I leave the classroom relieved.

The bathrooms are closer than I'd like them to be, so I go looking for the ones that are further away and walk in to find two girls at the sinks chattering on excitedly.

"Did you hear what happened today?"
"No... Tell me!"
"Bridgid asked Fang to Sadies."
"Yeah... her and every other girl in the school... but why didn't she tell me she was going to do that? Ugh... poor thing..."
"No... but that's the thing... Fang actually said yes.
"What? No way!"
"Yes way!"

I almost barf. I should have known. So fang and Bridgid are going to Sadies huh? I feel the tears start to heat up in the back of my eyes. I swallow them, close my eyes, and burry my head in my hands... I will not cry... Fang is so not worth my tears... but in a roundabout way, he kinda is...

Bridgid POV

"YO CHICA! GETCHO BUTT OVA HERE!" Caitlyn texts me as soon as the bell rings signaling lunch.

Today is probably one of the best days of my life...

*flashback*

"I'm beginning to hate lunch time." I mumble to myself glancing over at the group of girls who have surrounded Nick like flies. I, in fact along with Max are the only two girls who aren't over there. I Don't get me wrong, I wanted to ask Nick to Sadies, but I wasn't in the mood to have my heart thrown to the ground and trampled on by the next billion girls who asked him after me.

I knew he'd say no... so what was the point of trying?

"Get a grip Bridgid." I mumble again.

After I get my food, and sit down at a table alone, I glance over at the table again and my stomach squeezes with jealousy. why couldn't I just have the guts to go over there and at least try?

Because it's not the right time I think to myself.I know i know... be patient.

Lunch droned on, and when the bell finally rings, I stand up swiftly, grab my stuff and get to the hall before I am trampled. Not a lot of people notice me, as I walk with my head down, books hugged against my chest.

I hardly had a chance to look up before I slam into a wall and fell to the floor, my books spread all over the hallway.

"Sorry." The wall says, and then I realize that the "wall" is very tall, very cute, and dressed completely in black. My heart begins to poundso hard I'm sure the whole school can hear it. "Uh... it- its ok... yeah. um it's fine." I mumble like a complete idiot.

Nick bends down and starts picking up my books for me and I decide to get my butt into gear and help him. Once he hands me the last book, I stuff it into my bag. "Sadies... I mean sorry." Ugh. He looks up. "What about Sadies?" He says. I blush bright red and look down at the floor. "I didn't I-" Just do it Bridgid!

"Do you wanna go to Sadies with me?" I blurt. He looks down for a moment, and my heart begins to pound even harder. This is where my heart gets broken.

"Sure."

What? My mind begins to race. "Wha- What?" I stutter. He sort of half smiles. "Yeah I'll go with you." He says. I smile. "So... I guess I'll see you around?" I say and he nods. "See you."

*End Flashback*

Who knew'd I'd get so lucky?

Fang POV

There was something about Bridgid, something that made her stand apart from all the other girls at this school. She was nothing like Max, not even close, but she was as close to Max as I was going to get. I had to keep Max safe, and I was going to do just that... even if it was the last thing I ever did.

I wasn't sure I necessarily wanted to go to Sadies, but when Bridgid asked me just out of the blue like that, I had to say yes. It was something about the way she looked, so scared and embarassed, and I just couldn't say no.

I am such a whimp.

What was Max going to think? If she hadn't found out already, she was bound to find out sooner or later. The news had already spread down to the junior high for God sakes. The junior high! Jeeze my life is crazy. Max is going to be pissed. I wonder if she is going with anyone...

Dylan POV

Max had been acting strange all day, and I just knew it had something to do with Fang, and the fact that he was going to Sadies with my twin sister. Wow Bridgid must be thrilled, I wonder what made her get up the guts to actually ask him.

Max had been silent all morning, and when lunch rolled around, she was nowhere to be found. She must have been really upset, which I couldn't understand because Fang was the one who'd broken her heart in the first place... I knew she still had really strong feelings for him, but- yeah I know I'm being insensitive.

When the bell rang, ending sixth period, I casually walked out, and was suprised when I saw Max waiting impatiently by the door. "God I thought the period would never end." she said. I couldn't help but notice her fingernails were chewed completely to the nub and she was biting the edge of her lip.

"You ok?" I said and she nodded, but her eyes said otherwise. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" she said. I nodded. "Of course silly, you know that." She chuckled. "So um Sadies is you know, around the corner, and I wanted to know if you wanted to go with me?" She spit out quickly. I almost choked on air.

"What?" I said. She looked at me and rolled her eyes. "Do you want to go to Sadies with me?" She repeated, her voice sounding slightly annoyed. "Um... wow... Max I-uh..."
"Look if you don't want to just say no."
"No I- of course I'll go with you."
"Cool." She said shrugging. "But Max..." I say, a thought popping into my head that I knew was very possible.

"Yeah?" She said, her voice was flat. "Are you sure you're not just asking me because of Fang?"Max shook her head. "No Dylan."
"Are you sure?" She rolled her eyes. "I'm Sure. I'm not. I just wanted to go with you." She said and then turned around and walked away.

I really hope y'all enjoyed this chapter!

R&R?
