Hey guys, I want to thank you so much for your reviews. I know I say that ever chapter, but it's true. They make me feel so good! So here's the next one!

"Oh, my God, he is so hot there!"

"What? No he isn't! You're crazy!" I roll my eyes at J.J. as Ella and Nudge look over a magazine filled with pictures of Justin Bieber. This has been going on for about fifteen minutes as they go through a Seventeen magazine. We're at Nudge's house, having a sleepover, and it seems it's already getting me in a good mood.

"Okay, can we just agree on something? Justin Bieber looks twelve, and Nudge is a pedophile for saying he's hot." I say, my voice filled with humor.

Laughter irrupts from all of us except Nudge, who just sits there pouting, her magazine clenched in her hands.

"Max!" J.J. shouts, trying to keep a straight face. "Don't say that about Justin Bieber! Leave her alone!"

Another round of laughter explodes from all of us, even Nudge cracking a grin. She throws her pillow at J.J., letting a laugh escape when J.J. catches it.

"Alright, alright," Ella says, waving her arms to get our attention. "Let's do something else before Nudge has a panic attack."

I snort while the others calm down, sitting in a little circle beside Nudge's bed.

"Oooh, Ooh, I have an idea!" Nudge says, her excited mood back. "Let's play Truth or Dare!"

J.J., Ella, and I groan in unison at the thought of being in one of those clichéd sleepover scenes.

"Come on, guys, who cares?" she reasons. "It's not like anyone's watching. And I want this to be fun!" She gives us her begging face. The one she knows I can't resist.

I sigh and roll my eyes, but go, "Okay, okay, fine, Nudge, but only for you." I smile at her.

J.J. and Ella finally agree, and we start the game.

Nudge picks on Ella. "Truth or dare?" She has a mischievous look on her face.

Ella looks nervous, and goes, "Hmm. . . Truth." We all roll our eyes, knowing that Ella's too scared to pick dare.

"Okay," Nudge goes, looking up thoughtfully. "When are you and Ian finally going to get together?"

J.J. and I lean in closer, interested in her answer. We've been waiting on them to get together for months.

Her face gets red, and she looks down at her hands, sighing. "I don't know…" She trails off, and I roll my eyes.

"Ella," I say with my "no crap" tone. "You need to make this happen already! Ian is too shy to do it on his own, and we all know that you guys like each other."

Ella looks startled, while Nudge is nodding beside her.

"It's true. This isn't the eighteenth century! If Ian doesn't have the balls to ask you out, you ask him. Take a stand!" We laugh and Nudge and I high-five.

Ella smirks, and looks at me uncertainly.

I give her a warning look and go, "No really, Ella. If there's one thing I want to happen before I leave, it's for you guys to finally get together."

We all sober up at the mention of me leaving, and I quickly try to keep the game going. "Nudge! Truth or Dare?"

Immediately without hesitation, she responds with, "Dare!"

I smirk at her, forming a dare in my head. "Okay, go get your phone."

She grins, already knowing what I'm going to say, and grabs her phone from beside her bed.

"Okay, you're going to prank call Iggy." I whisper the rest of the prank in her ear so Ella and J.J. will be surprised.

Nudge struggles to keep her laughter in while she dials Iggy's number, careful to press star sixty seven to keep her identity confidential.

She holds the phone up to her ear, and waits a few seconds until she answers in the deepest voice a girl could make. "Hey, sexy."

We all burst out laughing, but quickly cover our mouths, letting Nudge continue. I get right up to Nudge's phone next to her to listen to what Iggy says.

"Uh, what?" I hear his sleepy, confused voice say.

"Are you gonna come over here?" Nudge continues in her darkest voice. It's actually believable.

I hear a tired sigh and a muffled, "huh?"

"You heard me. Come over here and give it to me, whore." I have to jump away from the phone so my laughter can't be heard.

"What the f—" Is the last thing I hear before Nudge hangs up the phone. We're all in hysterics. I'm literally rolling on the ground, my stomach hurting from laughing so hard.

"Oh, my God. That was just . . . priceless." Ella says, tears running down her eyes.

Nudge smirks at all of us, quickly recovering. "Okay, Max, now it's your turn."

I get my last laughs out before I get back into the formation of our circle. "Okay, how about truth?"

She nods, and goes, "I have the perfect one for you. I've been waiting to ask this for a long time: Have you and Fang gone all the way yet?"

Ella squeals, and J.J. just giggles but leans in closer like she wants to know so badly. My ears and face get red. That's maybe a little too personal of a question for me, but I know they won't stop asking if I don't answer now.

I sigh, defeated, and answer regretfully. "No." J.J. actually looks surprised, and Ella and Nudge nod.

"Why not?" They ask in unison.

I look at them, startled, and answer, "Just because. . . I don't know. I'm just not ready."

"Oh. . ." Nudge says, looking down, thoughtful. "Well, what about now? I mean, you're moving away. . ."

If it were anybody else who said that, I would be mad, but since it was Nudge, I let it slide. I kind of get what she's talking about. I mean, this might be the last time I see Fang in a very long time; it's not like I haven't thought of taking that big step to finally get as close as I can to him. But, somehow, that just doesn't seem right to me.

"I wouldn't feel right doing that," I say, looking at the ground. "It would be like I wanted to have sex with him just because I'm leaving; not that I'm actually ready to do it."

My three best friends nod understandingly.

"Yeah," Nudge says. "I get what you mean. But I mean . . . aren't you going to miss him so much? I know I can barely think about Iggy right now. Have you two even said goodbye yet?"

My stomach lurches at the thought of saying goodbye to Fang, but I try to ignore it. "We haven't really gotten around to it. I guess we don't want to think about it until the day I actually leave. And of course I'm going to miss him. More than ever." My voice grows depressed by the time I'm done.

J.J. puts a hand on my shoulder comfortingly and I smile at her, making myself forget all the horrible thoughts about my moving.

"Okay, back to the game! J.J.! Truth or Dare?"


"Max-ieeeee!" is the first thing I hear the next morning. I groan, feeling groggy and dead tired. We had to have gone to bed at four at the earliest.

I tug Nudge's pillow closer to my head, clutching it, until it's violently ripped from my hands. Nudge's face appears in my line of vision with a giant grin that shows all of her teeth. "Wake up, sleepyhead!"

"Ugh…what time is it?" I groan, swiping the hair away from my eyes.

"Eight! Just in time for us to make the opening of Six Flags!" My eyes open a little wider at that, and I get the strength to sit up. This day could be pretty fun.

Ella's already up, gathering her things in her backpack, while J.J. is looking super tired, struggling to drag herself to the restroom. I smirk at her.

Nudge grabs my hands and pulls me up from the floor fast, making my world spin for a second.

I sit down on the bed and begin gathering my clothes to wear. I end up settling on a fitted cotton Beatles t-shirt with some capris, and my black converse.

When we're all done getting ready, we go outside to meet the guys. They're in the Ian's Expedition, bored expressions laced on their faces, put they quickly light up when we get inside. I curl up next to Fang and Iggy in the back seat, my mind actually filled with excited thoughts for the first time in a week.

Tell me if you liked it in a review. I always take constructive criticism as well! Thanks guys :)
