Hey guys. Sorry for the long wait.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

On the way home in Anne's car it was quiet, too quiet. I mean not even the never ending Nudge was talking. It seemed that every one knew that the leaders were not happy with each other. I made a quick glance at Fang. He was staring out the window, his face impassive. He caught me looking at him, and smirked. I whipped my head around, almost hitting it against the window. I heard Fang chuckle. I sighed, annoyed with myself and Fang. Angel noticed my movements and nudged my arm. I looked down at her mouthing 'What?'

"What's wrong with you and Fang? Did you guys get into a fight?" she askedinside my head. I nodded, "Sorta. I'll tell you later. Okay?" She nodded and went back to looking out the window.

When we pulled up to Anne's house I jumped out of the car and casually walked to the door. Though once I stepped inside I was in a dead sprint up to my room.

When I turned to shut the door I almost freakin' peed my pants. There, standing about eight centimeters away from me was Fang. I quickly stepped back, waaaaay past furious.

What the hell is he doing now!

"Get out of my room Fang! I don't want to hear anymore of your great excuses!" I yelled, clearly showing him that I was not happy.

"Max." Fang said in way to calm of a voice.

"No! Just leave! Go kiss that Redhaired Wonder again. Oh, and while your at it, take her to a movie! Buy her some popcorn!" He just looked at me and I saw a small grin tugging at the corner of his mouth.

I went to shove him out the door, but he grabbed my outstretched wrists and pulled me toward him. He brought his mouth right beside my ear and whispered, "Max, you are the only one I would ever want to kiss."

And with that he let go of me and walked out the door. I was frozen to the spot, staring at where, seconds ago, he stood holding me to him. My cheek and ear were tingling from his warm breath when he whispered.

Oh my god! What the heck just happened?

In a daze I went and lied down on my bed. Replaying what happened over and over in my mind.

Normally, when Anne calls up the stairs for dinner I am ecstatic, but tonight I was mortified, and let me tell you, it takes a lot to scare me.

I slowly walked down the stairs, trying to figure out what I should do. I could just act like nothing ever happened. Ha, yea right.

I decided to go with my other option. Completely avoid Fang no matter what happens, except maybe if Erasers attack. Maybe.

I sat down in my spot right across from, you guessed it, Fang. We all ate dinner like normal, fast and not that much talking, thank god, because we were to busy stuffing food in our faces. But when dinner was over it was very awkward. No one talked. No one moved. All of us had a feeling something was about to happen.

"Okay. What is going on? You guys are acting weird. Is something wrong?" Anne asked in her parental tone.

"Well, you see Max and Fang are in a bout of sexual tension. They can't seem to get it through their thick skulls that they are completely in love with each other."

What?

We all whipped our heads around to look at Iggy astonished. Anne had a look of complete and utter shock on her face, Nudge was blushing, slouched down in her chair, giggling, and Angel and Gazzy looked confused. Fang was beet red, surprisingly, and I was about to punch something, preferably Iggy.

"Max what's sexual tension?" Angel asked innocently. Nudge and Iggy both started cracking up laughing.

"Max. Fang. I need to speak with you two, now." Anne demanded.

I stood up, knocking my chair down behind me. I ran over to the nearest window and jumped out yelling that I will be back in a few hours. I was way past mortified now.

"Max, wait!" Anne called to my shrinking form. Like I was going back in there.

I heard Fang get up and excuse himself up to his room.

I am officially never speaking to Iggy again.

I flew around the house a few times, trying to calm myself. What the heck did Fang mean about only wanting to kiss me? And where did Iggy hear sexual tension? I mean what the heck?

I sighed, everything was so confusing. Erasers, the School, Itex, Anne, Jeb, Ari, and now Fang. I have enough to worry about.

"Maybe you can forget about those other things for awhile and figure out that you love Fang."

Great, it's back once again. Right when I want some peace and quiet.

"Yea right. How am I ever going to forget about all that other stuff?"

What is he talking about? I am not about to drop everything just to figure out Fang.

"Well, you have exactly one week of peace. There will be no Erasers and no info about the school until then. So, you might as well figure one thing out."

"Why am I going to believe that?"

But once again there was no reply.

I flew for a few more hours, guessing that it was about 1:30 AM by now. When I got closer to my window I saw a figure sitting on the roof. Alarmed, I flew into the nearby trees to investigate. Is it an Eraser? If it was, why hasn't Angel picked it up?

"It's just me Max, calm down."

Fang.

Great, now I have to go talk to him.
