Hello again my peoples! So I had written 2 chapter 25's because I didn't know which one to use. I posted the wrong one but I don't think anything majorly changed. But I did get some reviews about the Fax. Sorry about that! No need to worry! Fax shall not be harmed! I fixed the chapters so yeah. Well here you go! Chapter 26!
-Faerie :)

"Hey Igs. What's up-" I had climbed into the backseat with Fang and Ella and found Ally sitting in the front seat. Great. Just GREAT. Ally changed the station in the car.

"You guys have any tips for school?" She asked, looking in the mirror, fixing her makeup.

"Uh...pay attention in class? Don't run in the halls? Try not to eat the cafeteria food?" I said, trying not to full on knock her out of the car.

"No silly! I mean like which people I should watch out for. Or what teachers are the worst. Which boys are the cutest?"

"So, you are asking us, anti-social misfits for social advice?" Wow Ella, where did you find this one? "Oh and cutest boys, I can answer that one. Fang here, is the cutest. But he is taken by me." I smiled in satisfaction as Fang gave a little wave and held up our tightly laced hands.

"Is Iggy taken?" Ally asked, smirking just a bit.

"NO!" Iggy shouted about to lean over the kiss her, and about to run a stop sign.

"IGGY! BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL NOW! RED MEANS STOP YOU IDIOT!" Ella shouted, whacking the side of his head. Ally laughed a high pitched laugh (which was sooo already on my nerves) and pulled out her phone. Thank god she is only in my english class and not in art class. That would push me from "pissed" to "On the verge of murder".

*line break*

Ella and I forgave each other in time for lunch. I packed Fang and I lunch becuase today was supposudly "chicken" nuggets. We started to eat when Ella and Iggy walked over. Oh and that red haired chick to. We started to eat as Iggy went on and on about the new set of explosives he had been working on. Yes Iggy! Make more bombs to set off in class! That will make the teachers so happy!

"Iggy, if you keep setting off bombs in class you are going to get kicked out."

"No Max. You mean the teachers will give me time off 'cuz they love me!"

"Yeah I think they want to push you out infront of the school buses." Ella said, ripping apart her sandwhich. I stared at the poor innocent pb&j lying in pieces on the table.

"Ella, you ok? You murdered your sandwhich." She looked up, blinking a bit, like she had been staring off into space. She looked down at the remains of her sandwich.

"Well, that's interesting. Yeah, I'm good I guess. Its just my mom has a boyfriend, Dan. I don't like him much. I mean, Dan's nice, but really, he is trying to by my dad already." Ella said, picking up one of the pieces of sandwich and popped it into her mouth. Ally was being very quiet. Too quiet. She was texting someone, giggling a little.

"Who's making you laugh? I hope they aren't as funny as me," Iggy said, winking at Ally.

"Oh just a friend from Park Dale." LIAR. She twitched a little when she said it, and her fingers quickly found her water bottle. Iggy didn't seem to notice, putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Wanna chatch a movie sometime?"

"Sure!" Ally smiled at Iggy. Ella shot me a look of "What the heck?" I returned it.

*later*

Seeing all the nasty cafeteria food was bad enough. Now I had to watch Ally and Iggy being all "cutesy" in class. At least it wasn't her and Fang. Then I probubly would kill her then brutaly hurt Fang. I mean he doesn't deserve to die. Ally does though. While they were busy, Fang and I edited each others papers. Well, he edited mine. Fang decided to be all secretive about his paper. I noticed a paper sticking out of his notebook. I pulled it out and unfolded it.

More pictures of Fang commiting suicide. "Emo Boy" was written across the top. Ari, Dylan and Ryan can all go to Hell. Fang saw me looking at it and turned away. I grabbed my pencil and put the drawings infront of him. I drew wings on the stick figure jumping from the roof. I turned the knife into a pen and drew a stick figure me with him drawing on it's arm. I changed the eyes on the stick figure that had drowned themself so they were just swimming.

At the top I erased "Emo Boy" and wrote "Fang" with a heart next to it. I pushed the paper closer to him. I watched as he looked at the drawings and smiled. REALLY smiled. Fang took the pictures and put them in his binder.

"Now when Ari is being a jerk I can whack him over the head with my binder and blame it on you." I smiled to. God, if we weren't in the middle of class I would kiss him until my head hurt.

Today our paintings were due in art class. We put them on display in the halls and we had to tour around and tell the class about the painting. This was the one freakin' thing I hated about this class. Explaining my art. Why should we have to tell everyone about our "artistic intent" when mine is just: "I painted a picture of the ocean. I want to see the ocean. I think the ocean is pretty." NO DURH.

When it came to my turn, I stood next to my painting and said pretty much just that.

"Uh...I'm Max. This is my painting of the ocean. I have never been to the beach so I painted what I thought it would be like, I guess." I was about to run for it when the art teacher decided I needed to elaborate.

"Explain the figures in the surf." I looked at my painting for help.

"Uh...my friend Fang promised to take me to the beach as soon as it got warmer. So yeah..." I hurried to the back of the crowd before any more questions were asked. Fang smiled at me then walked over to his piece.

"Fang, this is a very dramatic piece. Do you mind explaining it?"

"Isn't that what we are supposed to do?" The class laughed. Our teacher must have shot Fang the evil glare because he started talking about the painting.

"It's about loss, kind of," He said, his fingers gliding over the painting to the empty landscape with the big rocks and bare trees. I heard one of the boys muttering something about it being too morbid. I hit is arm hard enough for him to yelp. I shot a dagger like glare at him and went back to listening.

"And hope. Like, having a new chance and moving on." Fang said, pointing at the sunrise. "And finding that hope." He pointed at the two angels on the edge, looking out over the destruction.

"I have lived in this world. But I found hope."

"Fang I was wondering if you could explain your color choices. And the people with the wings. I still don't get it," the teacher said.

"No. It's art. It's mine. It doesn't need to be explained." With that he walked down the hall, everyone stared after him. Then turned to the clock in the hall. Time to go! YES! FREEDOM! We all ran down the hall to grab our bags. I took mine and followed Fang out to the hall. I stopped just to look at my painting for a second. It had the same movement I wanted it to.

"Winter better hurry up. You are taking me to the beach or I will take myself." Fang put his arm around my waist.

"I promised didn't I?" I nodded. "My dad promised me we could go. Then he was gone a month later. I'm not letting you down."

AWWWW! There you go folks! FAX SHALL NEVER DIE! Well, no promises. ;) If the wonderful light of Fax flickers for a bit, it's ok! Max and Fang are too perfect to actually break apart. Oh and it won't be because of Ally! Don't worry your little hearts out! And I might start another fanfic. Maybe not. I dunno!
Well, I hope you enjoyed it! If you liked it, leave a review for a smile! If you really liked it, add to alerts. If you loved it, add to your favorites!
