Chapter 33
Fang moved to stand in front of me, placing himself between Mason and me.
"I would leave now if were you." Fang said, his voice like steel.
Mason frowned, like he was thinking through his options, which was really stupid.
Masons Options:
1. Get beat up by a furious Fang.
2. Run away.
3. Get beat up by a monumentally mad Max.
Hmm…it's so hard to decide.
"Mace, leave." I said coldly from behind Fang.
He glared at me, then at Fang, "This isn't over. I'll be back!"
Wow…cliché much?
I mean seriously!
I thought that kind of stuff is only said in movies…
"I'll be waiting!" I said brightly, smiling at him.
Mason glared at me again, taking a step forward. Fang also stepped forward, crossing his arms as he gave his intimidating stare.
Mason nodded slowly, as he stepped backwards, his arms raised, "Okay, okay." He said, "We'll see each other soon." Then he turned around and walked down the sidewalk to a slim car, got in, and sped off with a hard expression on his face.
Even though I felt safe with Fang standing next to me, and accomplished that we beat him and his gang 2 against 6…
I was scared about what Mason had planned.
"Max! Max! Maaax!! Max, guess what?!"
I turned and frowned as I saw Asher clumsily try to navigate his way through the crowded school hallway.
"Maaa-"
He suddenly tumbled down and fell into the mass of people.
I felt my eyes widened and then shoved my books and binder into Fang's surprised hands, before rushing over to help Asher up.
He's too clumsy for his own good…
"Are you okay?" I asked him as I hauled him up by his arm.
He blinked a couple times and rubbed his head, "Yeah, I'm good," he said, standing up on his own now, "Some girl kicked me in the head with some heels though. Wow, I didn't know how dangerous those things are until now."
I grinned, and wiped off some dirt from his shoulder, "What was the big news?" I asked him
His eyes widened like he just remembered, "Oh! I almost forgot!"
Fang ran up behind us as gave me my bag back, "Forgot what? How to walk?" he asked, smirking.
Asher rolled his eyes, "Shut up, and no!" He held out a piece of paper to me, "Look!"
I took the slightly crumpled paper and read the title, "IMusic Band Competition."
A grin slowly formed on my face.
"When do we perform?" I asked Asher, reading over the rules and information.
"Uh, I don't know. I just read the title then stopped to I could give it to you. I wanted you to read it first."
I nodded and continued to read over the paper with greedy eyes.
"It says here," I started, "That the competition takes place during the week before Christmas. We each perform 8:30 to midnight to sing/play as many and whatever songs we want. It will take place at…" I grinned bigger, "At Fay's park, and then it says the address which I'm sure we all know by now."
Fang's arms wrapped themselves around my waist from behind me. He placed his head on my shoulder, reading the paper over it.
"A band called In Vain is performing Friday night, then us, and last is…no way…"
Nu uh! How did they get signed?!?! No!!
"What's wrong?" Asher asked.
Fang's arms tightened around my waist.
I guess he read the same thing I did. I quickly read over to performing dates to Ash.
Dec. 18 – In Vain
Dec. 19 – Fall and Rise
Dec. 20 – World Collide
"What's so bad about that?" Asher asked, completely clueless.
I sighed and leaned back against Fang's arms, "Mason's band is called Worlds Collide."
Asher's face grew grave, and he clenched his jaw, "Crap." I heard him muttered. (We had told him and the rest of the band about out little encounter with Mason and his gang. Though we really couldn't hide it because cringed every time Angel came to jump in my lap or I breathed deeply before singing a long note.)
"How did they even get signed?" I muttered, rubbing my forehead in frustration.
"It doesn't matter." Fang whispered in my ear, "We'll beat them."
"Yeah!" Asher said, punching his fist up in the air, making several students look at him strangely.
I nodded slowly, reading over the paper again.
Fang kissed my cheek softly, making me jump, and then he chuckled lowly in my ear, "Did I scare you?"
I elbowed him in the ribs and unwound his arms from my waist. I stuffed the paper into my bag before turning to Fang and Asher, "Let's go to class."
We can talk about this later. Just not right now.
Asher nodded, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Hmm… he's probably trying to figure out how many hours until lunch…
…that's going to take him awhile...
Fang frowned slightly at me, but he nodded and we all started walking to homeroom.
How come at the end of the day we always seem to end up at Fay's coffee shop?
Beats me…
After we had told Ella, Nudge, and Iggy about the Imusic band competition, we all came to Fay's to celebrate. (Or maybe just because we like to come here)
"So what songs are we going to play?" Iggy asked while munching on some crispy french-fries.
We were all sitting in a large, circular booth at the corner of the shop. There were about twenty-five half empty and/or empty cups sitting on the table, (brought to you by the band Fall and Rise) and a very…very large plate of fries.
I shrugged and leaned back, loving the feeling of Fang's arm around my shoulder, "I thought about it and decided that we all should choose a song for us to play. Anyone you want. I think we should also let Angel, Gazzy, Fay, and maybe Mom also choose a song too."
"Oh! That sounds so cool!! I know just about the perfect song for us to play! Ah! I'm so happy!" Well, that sure wasn't Fang who said that…
Asher?
Possibly…
(It was Nudge if you didn't know.)
I rolled my eyes as everyone started talking excitedly about what songs to choose.
Ah, I love my friends.
"Hey," Fang said into my ear, leaning down, "Let's go play a song." He jerked his chin towards the stage.
I grinned up at him, "Yeah, I think we've pigged out enough today." I looked at the piles of napkins and straw wrappers.
He flashed his white teeth at me before scooting out of the booth, walking towards the stage.
"Let's go guys." I said loudly, trying to catch their attention, "We gotta perform."
They immediately got up and ran to the stage as quickly as they could, eager to play.
I chuckled as I made my way over there.
They sure do like to perform…
The door opened and the bell above it rang, along with a high-pitched, ear piercing giggle.
You have to be kidding me…
Seriously?!?!
Why does Lissa always have to come and screw everything up?
Uh, oh...that's not good...
Stupid Lissa!
