WHO HERE HATES ME FOR BEING LATE ON MY FIRST SCHEDULED UPDATE? So apparently no one in North Carolina (That I know at least) has word or notepad, or anything of the sort. So I couldn't update. I just got back a few hours ago! I'M SO SORRY! To show how sorry I am I'm putting the back story to the nickname Fang! ^-^ Enjoy!
MAX'S POV.
"Look, all I'm saying is he's kinda creepy, for all we know he watches you in your room from your window." Sam said with a mouthful of school pizza.
"Well, he's not that bad. I don't think he comes close to a stalker. He wouldn't, couldn't, stalk anyone. I think he's a nice person at heart, don't ya think max?" Nudge asked. She'd been really defense of Fang lately, it was getting weird.
"He's definitely not a stalker." I laughed.
"He better not be or I'd have to teach him a lesson." Sam winked at me and put his arm around my shoulders.
"Speak of the devil." Iggy whispered as Fang walked past our table to his. He always sat with Spencer and Jason, I didn't know much about them except that Jason was a pot head. His table was right next to ours so we changed the conversation.
"So, Halloween ball next month." Skylar said nonchalantly. "Who's going?"
"Uhm, I want to go, but I don't have a costume." I said.
"Hmm, Queen Elizabeth!" Iggy said joking.
"Not in a million years... It would look good on you though." He glared at me
"What about a witch?" Nudge suggested.
"That's to cliche."
"You gotta match with whoever your date is!" Skylar said.
"Well I don't have a date..."
"Well, uh, You can be my date." Sam said blushing a little.
"Sure. I'd like that." I smiled and Iggy made fake gagging noises. Skylar punched him in the arm and I glared at him.
"So, what do you wanna go as?" he asked.
"No clue..."
"Y'all are cute together." Nudge said, taking a quick and sad glance at Fang.
"Hey nudge can I talk to you for a sec?"I asked a little awkwardly. She nodded and we walked over to the corner of the cafeteria.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"Honestly, do you have a crush on Fang?" Her eyes bulged.
"EWWW NO! Why would you even think that?"
"Your so defense of him lately, and every time I get kinda close to Sam, you look at Fang. You look sad when you look at him too. So just tell me what's going on." I looked her in the eyes.
"I just don't he's a bad guy, and everyone keeps dissing him. But I DON'T like him." I let out a sigh
"Okay..." We kept up a casual conversation for the rest of lunch. I was walking to 5th period when Sam came out of no where and pinched my sides. I squealed so loud half of the hallway either jumped or gave me a WTF look. I slapped him in the chest and he just laughed at me.
"I hate you..." I said.
"No you don't, you love me." He said and kissed me on the cheek. My cheeks felt like they were on fire.
"I guess..." I murmured and sat down in my seat, avoiding his eyes.
"So, what are you doing tonight?" Sam asked awkwardly.
"Playing video games with Ig probably..."
"Well do you wanna, uhm, go to the Sky with me...maybe?" He sounded so nervous it was kinda cute. The sky was the towns under 21 club. I had only ever been there once with Dylan. later that night, he gave me a black eye.
"Sure." I smiled and he let go of his breath.
"So I'll pick you up around 8ish?"
"Yeah that sounds good." I smiled again. I was hoping to give that place better memories.
"I think we'll have fun." he gave me a giant and kinda goofy smile. I smiled back.
The rest of the day was uneventful, Nudge talked my ear off about my outfit for the Sky, and Fang was in one of his weird dark moods.
~~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~~
At 7:45 I was on my front porch in a red dress that Iggy didn't approve of, and heels that Nudge forced me to wear. I FELT SO AWKWARD. I was not a dress or heel wearer.
Suddenly I heard a whistle and someone say "Hey pretty lady, what are you doin' all alone?" I looked up and saw a guy about a year or two older than me. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, and looked like a total douche.
"Waiting for my date." I said indifferently.
"Whoever he is I bet he doesn't deserve such a pretty girl." He began walking up my porch stairs.
"Come any closer to me and you'll deserve a punch in the face."
He came closer anyways, "Awe c'mon, you don't wanna do that."
"Don't tell me what I want." I said and punched him as hard as I could in the eye, it immediately started swelling.
"Oh what the fuck!"
"I warned you..." I said and noticed Fang staring at us with his jaw dropped. I smiled at him, and his eyes widened. "Now you should leave before my date gets here." I said turning back to the douche. He ran off.
"CRAZY BITCH!" He yelled once out of site. Fang jogged over to me.
"Damn Max!" he said. "What the hell just happened?... And why are you dressed like that?" he looked me up and down.
"Well I was waiting for Sam so we can go to the Sky, and that douche showed up. He was treating me like a piece of meat. But I warned him before I punched him though." I sighed.
"Two questions. One: where in the hell did you learn to punch like that? And two: you're dressed like that...for Sam?"
"Iggy likes me to be able to defend myself, and I go to the gym...A lot. And yes I'm dressed like this for Sam. Who just got here. Bye Fang." I waved and ran over to Sam's truck.
"Hey Max." He said when I got in. He turned to look at me and his jaw hit the floor.
"What?"
"You uh... Look really good." he said and looked down, cheeks flushed.
"Oh, um thanks." I said, my own cheeks flushing. He started up his truck, "Well let's get going." We carried on normal conversations in the car, and talked about old memories.
"Remember when we slept over at fangs house, and our moms didn't know?" I asked laughing.
"Haha Yeah, they were freaking out it was hilarious! we were grounded for a month!"
"We didn't think it was funny back then, my mom was gonna kill me! But eventually Fang and I were like 'Fuck groundings!' and we hung out with each other by jumping windows." We were both laughing hard. "Once we almost got caught! Fang was in my room and we heard my mom coming up the stairs, I had to sit on him while he was hiding under my blankets." We were laughing so hard my face hurt.
"Remember how Fang got his nickname?" Sam asked smiling ear to ear.
"How could I forget? That was the best Halloween ever!"
"I still can't believe he was stupid enough to do that!" Okay so here's what happened: it was Halloween and we were all 6. Fang wanted to be a vampire, a real one. Sam and I found him in his bathroom, with half of his teeth missing. He was trying to remove all of his teeth except for the ones that would be the fangs. There was blood everywhere. I was freaking out, when you walked in it looked like he was murdered. We've called him Fang ever since.
"Well he did look like a vampire." I said. We were laughing so hard we both snorted at the exact same time. We laughed even harder, which I didn't even know was possible. We eventually pulled up to the Sky, still laughing.
"I think we're gonna have fun tonight." He said as we walked in.
"Oh no..." I said when I saw Dylan, sitting at a table, looking directly at me.
OOOOOHHH! CLIFFHANGER XD I KNOW YOU ALL HATE ME! *DODGES WEAPONS* SEE YOU ON FRIDAY! ^-^
