A/N: Okay back with chapter 7! This is a few weeks later in the story. Like this takes place in October…lol. Btw, I realize that my fanfic title doesn't really match my story…oh well.

Chapter 7- Halloween

MAX'S POV

What has happened over the past month…well nothing much really. My teachers (well most of them) don't like me, Fang sort of gave up on Riley (YAY!)

Anyways, Halloween was coming up and the littlies (Lisa, Nudge, Drew, Gazzy and Angel) were all excited about trick or treating. Me, Iggy, Fang and Riley decided to stay home and invite some people over for a Halloween party in the basement (it was Riley's idea).

On the night of Halloween, we waited till the little ones dressed up in their costumes. Angel was a well…angel. Lisa was a princess. Drew and Gazzy had a joint costume; a two-headed vampire. Nudge was a queen.

After they left, some friends came over. It was a costume party. I was considering letting my wings go and be like a bird or something, since it was Halloween, but Fang said it was too risky. Damn. So I went as a witch. Ha-ha. I wore a pointed black hat, and like a black robe and yeah. Fang went as punk-rock dude type of person. He had spiked his hair and died it at the tips. He looked kinda hot…I mean…cool. Riley went as a goth (uhhh)

Note to self: Stop thinking thoughts about someone who is like my brother.

Iggy went as a blind person (well, that fits…) since he couldn't think of anything else to go as.

Anyways, since it was Halloween, we decided to keep contests and games. We had prizes too…hehe…sounds a lot like a kiddy party though, doesn't it? But it wasn't. We had a costume prizes; best costume; funniest costume; scariest costume; most original costume. Stuff like that. And then there's truth or dare (evil style).

At first, everyone was just talking at snacking. Then the first game started (yes this sounds SO much like a kid party) the one-and-only spin the bottle. Since I had never played spin the bottle I just sat there in the circle hoping no one would notice me and that the bottle wouldn't land on me. 5 minutes into the game, I realized how you play the game; the bottle lands on you, you got to kiss and/or hug the person who spun the bottle. Maybe they wouldn't notice if I sat there quietly…and at the moment…it HAD to land on me…didn't it? I looked up to a bunch of "ooohhhhhs" and "ewwwws" and I saw why. The person who had spun the bottle…was…the one and only…Fang.

And that's why everyone was "ewwww" ing. Because in everyone's eyes, he was my brother. Like really my brother.

I quickly thought. "You can skip me. Besides, that would be gross."

The boy sitting beside me smirked. "No you don't. I could go instead of him."

He had frizzy red hair and was skinny and pale skinned. He was wearing a Dracula costume and he had dark eyeliner on.

"Umm, that's ok, I'll pass." Ugh, this sucks.

"Come on! Don't be such a party pooper!" he said, making a face.

Fang smirked, clearly amused by my discomfort. Curse him. "Yeah Max, go on."

"Umm, I don't think so."

And then I left, with everyone staring after me. Yeah, I was in a sulky mood but I don't know why. I changed back into my normal clothes and sat in my room. A little while, Fang came in. For a minute or so, he stood there staring at me. I shifted uncomfortably under his gaze.

He hesitated, then sat down beside me, and put his arm around me. I suddenly felt better…I wonder why?

"You know, you can come down now, we're playing a different game now, and soon Riley is going to announce the costume winners and stuff…but I see you already changed back," he said.

"Nah, I'm gonna stay here," I announced stubbornly.

Fang gave a smile. "Then, uhh, I'm going to go back."

He leaned down…and get this…kissed my cheek, then left in a hurry. He left me sitting frozen.

A/N: That's the end of the seventh chappie! A lot of Faxness…well not A LOT, but the most so far. Fudgeness in the next chappie; tune back!!!
