I'm ba-ack! Sorry for the long wait but as I said before, I need to put *vomits* school first.

DISCLAIMER: (as my friend would say) Iggy is in my closet and he is screaming "YOU DON'T OWN MAXIMUM RIDE!"

Chapter 26: Arrested

Max's POV:

I woke up the next morning and just stared at the ceiling for a few minutes contemplating what my revenge for the saran wrapped/spoon infested room and car.

After realizing that thinking about such things was something to be done after one showers, so I did just that.

40 minutes later I stepped out of my bathroom and walked over to my drawers thankful that I FINALLY had all my clothes back I grabbed a pair of cut off shorts, a random tank top and the rest of my stuff then got changed and finished my morning routine.

After all that jazz was out of the way I ran down stairs and had a bowl of cereal knowing that it would be life threatening to even make toast as I was eating I picked up where I had left off on thinking about my revenge scheme.

After several minutes of thinking I noticed there was a sticky note stuck to my cereal box from my mom

Dear Max,

By the time you read this it will already be to late- just kidding sweetie. Anyway thank you for not even attempting to make toast because…well… we all know what happened last time. Anyway, please go to the jewelry store in the mall and get a watch for your father, it is for a surprise party his office is giving him.

Love,

Mom

P.S. there is money taped to the back of this note.

I laughed to myself as I put my bowl in the sink and took the money of the back side of the note, there was 75 dollars… and I have absolutely no idea what kind of watch that will get me… why isn't she having Nudge do this? She knows I am horrible at this kind of stuff.

I ran back upstairs and grabbed my messenger bag, phone and keys then ran outside to my car.

I drove to the mall and walked in to the only jewelry store in the mall then went and looked at the men's watches picking a random one then asking them to take it out for me to look at.

I took it in my hands and then told them I wanted to look around some more taking the watch in my hands and walked around the store a little looking around the store until my phone started ringing.

I answered only to realize that I had horrible service I absent mindedly put the watch in my bag and walked out the doors and then that's when the alarms sounded…crap.

Before I knew what was happening mall security was grabbing my arms and took me to a tiny little room in the back of the mall then gave me a pat down…I am scarred for life in case you were wondering.

They pulled the watch out of my purse and gave me a less then pleased look.

They confiscated the rest of my personal items then brought me to a larger room with a table in the middle that had a phone on it.

"Please let me explain! I was browsing the watches and then my phone rang-"I started but then they cut me off.

"You should call someone to come bail you out the person has to be 18 or older. You have one call." The grouchy policeman said in a monotone voice then walked to the back corner of the room.

I grumbled to myself as I tried to figure out who to call… I can't call JJ, Kate or Iggy because they are all 17 I won't call my parents because I didn't feel like getting a lecture…who to call…then it hit me…Fang is 18…

Ok so your probably wondering why Fang is 18 but still in my grade the answer is simple, he has a summer birthday.

But anyway… I don't know who else to call…ugh…. He is never going to let me hear the end of this.

I took a deep breath and swallowed my pride and dialed his number.

Bold=Fang

Italics=Max

Hello?

Hey… it's Max…

Oh! Hey Max, what's up?

Uh…ok… I need a favor… promise you won't laugh?

No promises... but we'll never know until you tell me what you need.

*sigh* I kinda…got arrested and I need you to come bail me out…

*laughter*

FANG! This is serious!

Wait…you actually got arrested?

*mumbles to self* Yes, Fang now are you going to help me or not?

Be there in ten.

Ok, go to mall security.

Okay.

*Click*

I paced back and fourth in the room until someone handed me all my stuff and told me that Fang was here.

I took a deep breath and then walked out into the room where Fang was waiting for me.

He was leaning up against the door way wearing a smirk that I would love to slap off of him.

"Hey! Thanks for coming…you were the only person I knew that was 18 that wouldn't lecture me…" I said as I signed a paper handing it to Fang so he could sign it too. After he signed he handed it to the mall cop behind the desk.

"You have two weeks to pay a fine of 480 dollars." The cop said handing me a slip of papers saying that if I didn't pay within the deadline that I would be arrested.

I took it and then Fang and I walked out to the main mall area "would you want a coffee?" Fang asked.

I nodded "why not"

We walked to the Starbucks and ordered our drinks then went and sat at a table in the corner.

"So…why were you arrested?" He asked after a few seconds of silence.

I sighed "well, my mom wanted me to get a watch for my dad because his office was throwing him a surprise party and when I was getting the watch my phone went off but I didn't have very good service so I absent mindedly slipped the watch in my bag and walked out of the store to answer my call and then the alarm went off…" I said with an awkward laugh.

He gave me a 'well, well sucks to be you' look then started cracking up.

I gave him a un amused look "I have to ask you a question…what was with the spoons?"

"Liam Payne is afraid of spoons, therefore spoons are scary!" he said in a duh tone.

I felt my mouth drop open and my eyes bulge "and how do you know this? I mean I know that because One Direction is my guilty pleasure and I have two sisters…but you only have Iggy…"

After he realized how girly he sounded he pretended to burst into tears and said "what has Jeff done to me!?"

I laughed, and then we just talked for a few more hours in Starbucks.

This may be the start of a beautiful friendship.

Ok and this concludes this chapter…yes I know it's not one of my best but…it's all I could think of. So I have some good love/hate news…there will probably only be about 10 chapters left of the story…*sniffle* anyway, review and tell me what you think! ~foreverFAX
