Hey guys! Here's the next chapter, enjoy!
Max's POV-
"Thank god it's Friday." I say shutting my locker. I am talking to Fang at the end of the school day. Dylan didn't come to school today or yesterday. Yesterday was Thursday, so that meant Fang had to sleep in the tree house. I wasn't happy about it, but he insisted that he was fine.
"Do you think we should go to his house and talk to him?" I ask. "He hasn't answered any of my calls."
"Yeah, mine too, but I don't think we should go to his house. He will talk to us when he wants to. And plus, I don't think it would make things better if we showed up together." I nod.
"I guess, but still, he has never stayed mad at me for this long before." Fang shrugs.
"Maybe he's not mad."
"What do you mean?"
"Maybe he has just been sick for the last two days, and his phone is dead."
"I have a hard time believing that." I say.
"Yeah, but it's better than thinking he is mad at us." I nod and we start walking down the empty school hallway.
"How is it that we are always the last two at school?" I ask.
"Because." He says putting an arm around me. "We just love school so much that we can't stand to be away."
"Yeah, right." I say with a laugh. "I've been counting the days to summer break." Fang smiles, and we walk out the front door of the school. Fang is coming over, an we are walking home together. Ella is staying at a friends house till tomorrow, and my mom has to go into the next town over for an audition, so we saw this as the perfect time to be alone.
"Hello! Is anyone home?!" Fang and I jump away from each other when we hear my mom walk through the front door. We were in the middle of "doing homework" when she came home. "Doing homework" has kind of become our codeword for making out.
"Down here mom!" I shout. Seconds later, my mom is clambering down the stairs to the basement.
"What have you two been up to?" She asks raising an eyebrow.
"Doing homework." Fang and I say in unison. I have to bit the inside of my lip to keep from laughing out loud. "Wasn't your audition was supposed to go till late?" I ask. She nods.
"It was already filled by the time I got there. Last time I'm late to an audition."
"Don't worry mom." I say. "You'll get the next one."
"I sure hope so." She replies. "I saw a pair of shoes in a store on the way there today-"
"Is that why you were late?" I ask. She gives a sheepish look.
"Oh, never mind." She says waving it off. "I'm going to start dinner. Fang, are you staying?"
"Sure, what are we having?"
"What ever is in the fridge." Fang smirks.
"Just like my mom used to say."
"Used to?" My mom asks.
"Yeah, she's just been really busy lately. We eat a lot of fast food."
"Well, your welcome here anytime." She smiles and turns to go upstairs. "Oh, and one more thing." She turns around, and gives a huge smile. "You two are very cute together." I throw my head back, and I feel Fang fidget at my side. "Okay, now I'm going." she says walking up the stairs. As soon as she's gone, I can't help but laugh.
"My sister can not keep a secret." I say. Fang slides closer. "Yeah, but now that everybody knows, we don't have to keep it a secret anymore. We can go on a real date."
"What do you mean?" I ask. "Those were real dates." If you didn't notice I said the word "dates". Fang and I have been going out for about a month now and we have been on about four dates. All of them were in secret.
"Those were makeshift dates. We should go on a real date. You know, like indoors and stuff."
"Well, where do you want to go?" I ask.
"It doesn't matter to me." He says. "We could go the movies or out to dinner . . " I try to hold back a laugh, but can't. "What's so funny?"
"You're so the girl in this relationship." I say teasingly bumping him with my shoulder. He smirks.
"Would you rather I not try to make this relationship work?"
"No." I say smiling. "I love that you are trying so hard to make this work."
"Good." He says. "Because I do want this to work." He smiles at me, and I reach up to kiss him. He puts an arm around my waist to pull me closer, and deepen the kiss. About fifteen minutes have passed of us kissing, and I don't know how, but I somehow ended up on his lap. We break apart for air, and I start laughing.
"Sorry." I say moving off his lap, but he grabs me around the waist keeping me in place.
"No, stay." He says. "This is perfect." I want to kiss him again, but he starts talking.
"So, where are we going to go? For the date I mean."
"I don't know." I say. "I'm not good at this dating thing. You choose."
"I have chosen the last couple dates we have been on. And for the record, you are good at this dating thing."
"How?" I ask. "Out of the four dates we have been on, you have come up with all of them. And they have all been awesome." He leans forward and kisses me again.
"That's how you're good at this dating thing. It's not all about going places. I love just being with you." I smile and feel my face grow red. "Here, I'll help you." He says. "We could go somewhere fancy, like dinner or something, or we can go somewhere casual, like the movies." I make a face.
"That's not creative." He chuckles.
"It doesn't have to be. Just being together is-"
"Yeah, yeah perfect. I know." I smile, and he smiles back. Suddenly I get the best idea.
"What?" Fang asks. He must see it on my face. I feel a huge grin spread across my face.
"I've got the perfect idea, but it's not inside . . . or in public, but it is still awesome." He smiles at my excitement.
"Okay, where are we going?"
"It's a secret." I say "But we'll go tomorrow around six."
"Sounds like a plan." He says. He looks at me and I laugh.
"Seriously this is going to be great." He laughs, and pulls me closer to him with one arm around my neck.
Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update last week, so to make up for it I will do a challenge.
