Hey guys, sorry the update is late. I've been caught up with basketball again. Anyway, I have a huge headache and I've been feeling really dizzy and lightheaded. Want to know why? I bashed my head on a freaking fence, that's why. I know your thinking "How could you do that, it's a fence just standing there doing nothing." Well I was playing basketball outside with my friends and my friend lost control of the ball. So, me being me, I ran to the ball trying to get it before one of my other friends and I ran face first (more like head first because it's my head that's hurting) into the fence. It hurt so bad I didn't know what to do. So I kicked the fence. After that I started feeling dizzy, so I sat down and opted out of the game. I stayed home from school today. So enough with me let's get to the story.

Oh yeah,

Max's POV

The next day was like any other school day. Classes, me annoying Fang, Fang annoying me, and the Nudge Channel on and on, all day. When I got home, I ate some chocolate chip cookies. Basketball playoffs are coming up. I hope we make it to the championship this year. I had basketball practice tonight. Ugh I don't want do run any suicides. All I want to do is either shoot around or scrimmage.

I highly doubt that we will shoot around all practice so we probably will either scrimmage or go over our plays. I'm so hungry. I don't know why, but I am.

The doorbell rang. "Mom! Are you gonna get that?" I yelled. After a couple of seconds there was no answer. Ugh now I'm going to have to stand up, walk all the way to the door, and open it. That's a lot of work. I knew mom would be mad if I didn't answer the door, so I got up and opened it.

I have one word (or name) for you…Fang.

"It took you long enough. It's freezing outside" Fang said stepping in the house.

"Why are you here? You know I don't want you here, right?" I said to him.

"Your mom wanted me to drive you to basketball practice. She's at my house talking to my mom." He said.

"Wait a sec, I can drive by myself. I'm a big girl, and basketball practice is in two hours. Why are you here so early?" I asked.

He sighed. "Look Max, I'm tired of us constantly arguing and insulting each other every time we see each other. Why can't we just stop and become friends? We have so much in common and I think we could, at least, respect one another." Fang said.

"I'm tired of this too, Fang. Maybe the friendship thing could work. What did you mean by 'we have so much in common'." I said.

"We both do basketball, we both like the same bands, we both like the Yankees…" Fang said.

"But I like the Steelers and you like the Ravens. I hate the Ravens" I said.

"Hey, I may like the Ravens, but I respect the Steelers." Fang said.

"Haha, ok fine. We can become friends slowly and gradually. I'm not gonna trust you right away, but I will lay off of the insulting. Good enough?" I said.

"Yeah, that's good enough." Fang said sticking his hand out. I shook it.

"So, why are you here two hours before practice?" I asked.

"I dunno. I thought it was gonna take a long time for you to agree to somewhat be friends." Fang said.

"Hey! I wouldn't take that long to agree," I sighed. "So what do you want to do for the next 120 minutes?" I asked?

A couple of seconds passed when we both said "Black ops!"

Well my head still hurts so I'm gonna go and take some meds.

Peace!
