Hey guys! Please, please, please don't kill me! I've been super busy. I'm taking an online course, drivers ed, and the teachers have actually decided to give us work this quarter/semester. Oh, and also we had midterms a while back.

BTW-FANG IS IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! Well, I gotta go because I have to finish this stupid English paper. :/

Today was my "date" with Dylan. Kill me now, please. Haha just kidding, y'all. I really wanted to see him again, but there was still that bad feeling there. Let's have a quick review of my day up to now, shall we?

4-5 am: Woke up. Had a crappy breakfast cuz no one was awake to cook me a decent breakfast. Took a shower.

5-9 am: Did stuff in my room. Cleaning, laying, reading, writing, etc.

9 am-12 pm: wandered the house. Bumped into someone. Caused them to fall. Helped clean up whatever it was that had fallen. Wandered. Got lost. In my own giant mansion of a house.

12-1 pm: Lunch time. Got someone to make me food this time so it was good.

1-1:30 pm: That's now, yo. Read below.

"Maxieeeee!" Ella yelled. "I have to get you ready for your date!"

"Don't ever call me Maxie again, you hear that, Ella?" I yelled back.

"Whatever you say, princess."

"Wait—why are you getting me ready so early? He's not coming over til, like, 5."

She appeared in front of me, giving me a duh face. "Cuz it's gonna take that long to get you ready."

I groaned. There were a few hours of torture in my future.

3 and a freaking half hours later, I was totally ready. I had a pretty but heavy light pink silk dress and gold heals. My hair was in it's natural curls and there was a tiara on my head. There was a gold choker around my neck with a small pink diamond embeded in it and my earrings were about the same as it. My make up was natural and pink. All in all, it was too much pink. But it had been requested by my mother who had said that Dylan liked me in pink. (Who knew where she had gotten that information.) At least this dress didn't have ruffles or sparkles.

"I must say, I did an amazing job." Ella said, grinning at me.

"Uh, thanks. Are you serving me tonight? Please tell me you are."

"Yea. Yea, I am. I get to eavesdrop on your conversation." She said sounding way too happy.

"Wow Ells. I feel so loved." I commented, rolling my eyes.

"You should. I'm your bestest friend ever." She said grinning.

I rolled my eyes again. Then, the doorbell rang. Crap, crap, crap.

"Well, gotta go, Max. I'll see you in ten-ish." Ella said, curtsying and exiting the room.

I looked at myself in the full length mirror one more time. Here goes nothing.

I ran out of my room and down the stairs quickly for being in heels. And I didn't trip once. I was proud of myself. This was progress.

Wait. I did not just think that. Ella's rubbing off on me. Crap it.

"Hey." I said to Dylan when I saw him.

"Hey. How's everything been?" He asked, hooking his arm to mine.

"Good. And you?" I didn't sound anything like myself. I was so…formal.

"I'm good, especially now that I'm with you." He replied in his super-cheesy way that irritated the heck out of me.

"'Kay then. Let's get eating." I replied somewhat awkwardly.

We walked into the dining room and were greeted by food. It smelled amazing.

The first comment of that dinner was made about 5 minutes in.

"You eat a lot for a girl." Dylan commented. "And you're thin."

I shrugged. "I have a high metabolism. I also like to swim and run and stuff."

"Oh." Was his only response. If he wanted a girly girl, he looked to the wrong person.

"So, what do you like to do? Like, in your free time or what not?" I asked him.

"I like to sing and I guess swimming 's fun."

I nodded.

There wasn't much more for conversation during dinner after that. After dinner, we went outside.

"It's nice out here. Nice…weather and the gardening is great." Dylan commented.

"Yeah. Warm. I like warm." I agreed.

He laughed. "Summer's right around the corner. You must be happy."

"Yeah. Yeah." I said, not knowing what else to say.

"So, uh, yeah. Max, I really want to get to know you, like, really well. I think you're a great girl. You're gorgeous and different, and yeah. That's about it."

I was speechless for a minute, which is very rare for me. "Uh, thanks." Was my genius reply when I found that I could talk again.

"Sorry." He said. "That was a little…out of the blue."

"Yeah. It's fine. I like you too." I said. And I bet you all can guess that I was shocked when I realized that I actually meant it.

"So about the getting to know each other thing…" Dylan said.

"Uh, well, I like reading and writing and running and swimming and some other sports. I'm a princess only because my mom and dad are the king and queen. I hate pink and ruffles and sparkles. My best friend is Ella." I said. I wondered why I had just blurted that out to him.

"Okay. Wow. I like singing and swimming and some other sports. My dad's a successful scientist and my mom's a stay at home mom that was a scientist. I live clear across town from the beautiful girl that I'm in love with." He said, looking into my eyes.

My brain ran through a thousand options of what to respond to this, and my mouth was just hanging open.

"Uh, uh, I didn't know you lived all the way across town." Smooth Max, smooth.

He gave a nervous laugh. "Yeah. Nice change in subject, by the way."

"I wasn't changing the subject." I mumbled stubbornly.

"Kinda was." He answered. "But yeah, I live all the way across town. Sucks, huh?"

I nodded.

There was a really long and awkward silence.

"Max." He said breaking the silence. I looked over at him. He was staring at my face with odd intensity. I wanted to back up, but all at the same time I didn't. This boy is going to drive me insane.

"Yeah?"

He didn't say anything. He just leaned in and kissed me. I was expecting it to be like in books, ya know? Sparks and fireworks and stuff? Nope. It was sweet and gentle.

After a few seconds, we pulled away, laughing.

"That was…nice." He said.

I nodded, at loss for words.

Reviewwwwwww Please :)
