It's Monday afternoon. Ella and Angel are over and in Nudge's room. I think they are talking about their plan, because they won't let me in. I just had lunch and was wondering what they were making me wear tonight. Maybe something casual.
Wait-this is Nudge and Ella we are talking about. For all I know I could be wearing heels as high as my bed, and a short skirt that shows too much. Along with a see through tank top. Ugh.
Please, just kill me now.
I went to my room and opened my window to let in fresh air. "Wondering what the girls are doing?" Fang said. I snapped my head up. "Huh? Oh, ya. They are all in Nudge's room with the door locked." I replied.
"Well, as long as they don't do anything to me, I'll be fine. They can do whatever they want with you." he said, leaning back in his chair. "Oh, it's okay, it would be impossible for them to make you any more ugly." I said. He shook his head and closed his window.
I went to my computer and checked my email.
Hey Max. Um, I cant go tonight. I'm so sorry. Turns out my family has plans and really wants me to come. Maybe another time, ok? I'm sorry.
Drake
I bit my lip. What was I gonna do now? Was I still gonna do this plan the girls had for me?
It's okay. I have to focus on the kids anyway. Another time would be great.
Max
I got up and walked to Nudge's room. "Girls. We have an issue." I said through the door. Angel got the door. "What?" she asked. "Um, Drake can't go tonight. He has plans with family." I said. Angels face lit up. "Great. That makes the plan even easier." she closed the door and told Nudge and Ella. I sighed and went back to my room.
I was bored, so I got in the shower. When I was done I dressed in jean shorts and a black t-shirt. I put my flip flops on and went downstairs. "Iggy, wanna come with me to go for a walk-oh never mind." I said, interrupting him and some girl kissing on the couch.
"Well, sorry, folks. Going for a walk. Bye." I said and slipped out the door. Gazzy was playing in the front yard with Fang.
Wait.
He was playing with Gazzy? Like a real brother? He was laughing and stuff. Both of them. I guess Lissa did have an effect on him. He looked up at me and gave me a small smile. I waved, but quickly pulled my hand down. I bit my lip and saw him wink at me. I rolled my eyes and walked towards him.
"So, are you trying to be normal? Or trying to trick people?" I asked. He smirked. "See, Max, when your not out all night, I figured out that it's fun to hang with the family." he replied.
"Took you long enough to figure that out." I muttered.
"Hey, I heard that." he said. I rolled my eyes and gave him a little push. "Hey, that really hurt, Max."
I stared at him. That was the second time he called me Max instead of Maxie. What has gotten into him? His mom walked outside, "Oh, Max. I was about to give the boys a snack. Do you want to come inside? Maybe Fang can give you a tour."
"Oh, no. It's okay. I was just going to go for a walk." I replied. "No, please. Come on in. Enjoy." she said. "Alright." I sighed and went in. Gazzy was walking in between me and Fang. It was okay, until he moved and grabbed my hand and put it in Fang's.
I looked at Gazzy, who smiled at me. I looked up at Fang. He was staring at me. Nobody tried to pull away. I blinked and continued walking, taking my hand .Griffs set chocolate chip cookies on the table. I stared at them. Mom hadn't made any for weeks, so I couldn't help but grab one and take a big bite. I looked around to find everyone staring.
I swallowed. "What? I like my cookies when I can get them."
"Um, so. I guess I gotta take you on a tour." Fang said. I shrugged.
I followed him out of the room and up the stairs. "Well, this is the office. This is Gazzy's room. I would open the door and let you look inside but I figured you wanted to stay alive. My parents room are down the hall, this is a bathroom, and last but not least, this is my room." he finished.
I nodded and walked in his room. "Um..." he started, but I ignored him.
The walls were a dark grey. I could only see his bed and desk from my window, but here I saw a humungo black chair, a closet with black shirts stuffed inside, and a picture on the wall. I looked at it closely. I stared at it open mouthed. It was me and him. When we first stared high school. Our parents took a picture of us. Fang had his arm around my shoulders with a goofy grin and I stuck my tongue out at the camera with my backpack hanging off my arm. That was the first day I hated him and the last day we were friends. All because of Lissa.
I turned around. "Hasn't Lissa ever noticed this?"
"Ya, but I told her we were friends back then. And now we...aren't." he said.
I bit my lip. "Um, I think I'm going to go. It's almost time for dinner and I have to get ready." I said. He nodded. "Ya, you should go." I smiled at him and ran down stairs. "Bye." I mumbled and went in my house. "Max. Your room. It's time." Nudge said.
I walked in and sat down. They started with hair. Nudge straightened my hair and then crimped it every 3 inches. So it
was like a pattern. Flat, crimpy, flat, crimpy. Anyways. Ella painted my finger nails white with a small flower on the thumbs. Angel was looking for shoes for me. After that Ella put on white eyeshadow. But only a little, so you could barely see it. And pink blush and pink lipgloss. Finally I got to see my outfit.
I put it on. It was a knee-length dress with straps and at the waist and bottom was black. Every other part of the dress was white with black flower designs. (go to my profile and there's a website.)
Angel found some black flats. They were a little sparkly. I looked at myself in the mirror.
"Who is that?" I asked. I looked nothing like Max. I looked like...a pretty Max. A girly Max. I smiled a little and gave them each a hug.
"So, when am I going to figure out your plan?" I asked Ella. "You'll find out soon." she replied. I sighed.
We went to Angel's house so she could change and get Gazzy. I waited outside while Ella and Nudge helped Angel. Fang walked past the open door and glanced out at me. He stopped and backed up. "Hey, um, you look, uh, nice." he said.
"Thanks." I said. He winked at me and continued to do whatever he was doing.
Finaly we all got in the car and I drove us to the park. We set out a blanket by the big tree and some pillows. I had brought prezels and cokes for every one, so I handed them out. After about half an hour Angel walked away to call someone. Okay.
She came back. I gave her an 'explain' look, but she shrugged. Ah, part of her plan. The fireworks started and it was about 8:30. There was a spot in the grass where people could dance to the loud music. I think Britney Spears was on with her song Circus.
Ella smiled at Nudge and Angel giggled. They were looking in one direction, but I was stopped from trying to see it. "Um, Max. Could you go throw this away?" Ella asked. "The trash can is over there." Nudge said.
I went to the trash can and put the cans in. "Having fun?" I jumped around. Fang was standing there. "Um, I guess. My date got cancelled." I said. He nodded. "So, um, you wanna dance?" he asked.
I looked at him. We have hated each other for 4 years and why was he asking me to dance? He held out a hand, and I took it.
The song we were dancing to was a slow song. It was 'I'll Be' by Edwin Mccain. All I knew was it was in A Cinderella Story.
He spun me around and I laughed.
"You can't dance." he said. "Oh, like your any better." I said. "True." he agreed. I was actualy having fun with him.
I got it.
This was part of the girls plan! They were trying to get me and Fang together. It was okay, for now. I glanced up at him, and he was smiling down at me. "You knew about the plan, didn't you?" I asked.
"I was informed about an hour ago." he replied. "And you didn't argue? I mean, we aren't the best of friends, you know." I said.
He shrugged. "They are girls, so I figured they would make us look past that." he said. "Well, at least you have some knowledge about girls." I said. He smiled.
We stared at each other, and were leaning in. Until I tripped. "Um... sorry." I said. I took a step back, but he still held my waist.
"It's alright. I'll let it slide this time." he said.
"Meaning we are going to be dancing together again?" I asked. He shrugged. "Might as well if..." he started.
"If what?" I asked. He sighed. "If this night ends well." he said. What does that mean? If this night ends well. Oh well. We danced again to a different song. The song was Beat of My Heart by Hilary Duff.
"You wanna try that again?" he asked. I looked at him questioningly. "Try what?" he laughed and started leaning in again. I did the same.
Our lips brushed together slowly. Then he leaned closer and actualy kissed me! I never thought I'd say this, but I liked it. I heard giggles
and whistling behind me but I ignored them.
I smiled up at him, and he smiled back. Then they played Bella's Lullaby from Twilight. I rested my head on his chest and we danced. And the fire works started.
The next day me and Fang spent the day together at his house. Angel found us making out numerous times.
Wednesday we had to go back to school. We went in holding hands and half the school stared at us. Everybody knew we used to hate eachother. Lissa glared at me, and sent fake smiles at Fang all day. It was funny.
And we were together the rest of the school year, and the summer, and we got accepted at the same college. After that we got married and had a son and a daughter.
The End!!!
