Iggy P.O.V
So, I'm definitley not a fan of Twilight. I'm not one of those secret 'Twihards', and I just downright hate Edward and Jacob. Mostly because they're the object of Ella's affection. Seriousley, they're fictional.
Not real. They read off a script written for them! For some reason, these facts never seem to compute in girls' heads. Legit, I told Nudge this, and she just stared at me for twenty seconds. That must've been the longest time
it's taken her to answer something. Afterwords, there was a whole stream of things she said at high speed.
Why is Iggy lined up for tickets for Eclipse, you ask? Maybe because Max ordered me to.
"Iggy, get your lazy butt into the car or I'll kick it there!"
Or because Fang practically begged me to.
"Iggy. Come. I'm not going alone."
See? No death threats, blackmail, or violence. He was practically on his knees.
Or because of Ella.
"I'm so excited for the movie! OMG!"
Yeah. It was Ella.
So there I was, waiting to get in. When we finally did get there, Nudge pulled me along past Max. We had all agreed beforehand to make sure she sat beside Fang. It was painfully obvious how bad
they have it for eachother. So, as Max muttered and Fang gave out a little sigh that clearly meant, "Whatever. It sucks, but secretly I've been waiting for an oppertunity to kiss Max for months and this is great". The credits came
and went, and everyone was munching on popcorn. I listened to everyone, singaling each of them out. There was Nudge, munching in the middle. Slowly compared to how I've heard her, but faster than normal people.
Gazzy didn't really munch as much as inhale, Max crunched loudly, not caring who heard her, Angel chewed daintily, and then Fang hardly made a sound. Then again, when did he ever?
I was slowly dying. My heart was pounding faster than it's Avian- DNA altered speed it had ever gone. I was dripping sweat, Ella was beside me. I could hear her breathing. God, this was too close.
Maybe I should hold her hand... I slowly reached over and-
She yawned. Y-A-W-N-E-D! While I was facing inner turmoil over what to do! I put my hand on the hand rest and sulked. Not fair. So unfair! I mean, I have absolutley no problems with any other girls, but
her? She was so-
I heard someone take a sharp intake of breath. Turning to my right, I heard Max hastily run up the steps. Not even a second after, Fang bolted after her.
"Ig? What's going on?" Nudge whispered.
"Not sure," I whispered, "Can you help me find them?"
"Gaz, Ange," Nudge whispered.
We all stood up and went after Max and Fang.
"Fang's in front of the bathroom," Nudge told me.
"What's up with Max?" I asked.
"She's sick. Nudge? Can you go check on her?" he asked.
I felt Nudge dissapear beside me.
"Did she eat something?" I asked.
"Possibly the four eggs she had for breakfast, maybe the cheese for her sandwich," Fang fidgeted.
Okay, I couldn't resist, "You seriousley keep track of what she eats?"
"Shut up Iggy. Not now," he hissed.
"Fang, is Max okay?" Angel peeped.
He let out a sigh, "Yeah, Ange. Sorry."
"What happened?" Gazzy inquired.
"Okay, I'll be back," Fang left.
"Did he just do what I think he did?" I asked Gaz.
He nodded, "Fang just entered the Ladies' Room."
"What the Hell?" Ella asked.
"Max is sick and Nudge was taking a long time and Fang got worried and Iggy was worried, so Fang went in to check on her," Angel explained.
"Why don't you just wait for her to come out?" Ella asked.
There was a pause.
"We don't wait. There's always a chance that someone could get her. She is the main prize and all. Y'know. The cherry on top. Not that I'm describing us as a sundae," I shrugged.
"She barfed," Nudge cried.
"What?" we all asked.
"She did! It was all colourful. It actually kinda looked like this scarf I was gonna buy the other day, but now I'm so totally glad I didn't because, ew, barf scarf. Barf scarf! Blech! LOL! That rhymes!
Okay, Barf Scarf is now my term for anything gross. Barf Scarf!" she giggled.
"NUDGE!" we shouted.
"Sorry. Fang's making sure she's alright," Nudge said sheepishly.
"Speak of the devil," Ella said.
"I'm gonna take her home. Dr.M said she'll pick you up," Fang said.
The normally practiced "Don't care" voice was strained.
"Is she okay?" we all asked.
I heard him swallow, "Yeah."
His footsteps were heavier than usual as he walked away, which I assumed meant he was carrying Max. I listened until they blended into the crowd.
"Can we go back to the movie now?" Ella asked.
"Uh, can we head home too?" Nudge asked quietly.
"Yeah," Gazzy nodded.
"Please, Iggy?" Angel tugged my hand.
"Sounds good," I nodded.
"Why do you guys want to go home? Nudge, the movie's not even over!" Ella reasoned.
"Ella, please?" Nudge pleaded.
"Fine. But I'm not waiting for my mom. Let's catch the bus home," she sighed.
I was led out of the theatre to the loud and noisy street. We walked until we had reached the bus stop and Nudge showed me a bench to sit down on.
"Why did we have to go, anyway?" I could just see Ella pouting.
1. Our best fighters had left.
2. We felt uneasy, because although it was vacation, Max and Fang had taken out Erasers already. They hadn't told us, but I highly doubt they beat eachother up that bad in training. Even if Fang had
called Max a girl before.
3. We were paranoid.
"Because," Angel murmered.
Good explanation Ange. Totally High-Def. Ugh.
I could smell the bus's fumes before it got here. People got off and then Nudge led me on.
"Hey, that's twenty bucks kid," a rusty voice crackled.
"Twenty? For five people?" Ella asked.
"Yep," he cracked his jaw.
Sighing, Ella handed him a twenty and we sat down. Let me tell you; I never expected this bus ride to involve marriage, hair dye, mice, kissing, fighting, and a bus driver giving me a lesson on life.
It all started with a girl with firey blue hair boarding with a cage of mice and a garbage bag.
Too tired for more. But what do you think? I'm soo excited to write about the bus ride! Lol. I think Kitty might do a fic for The City of Bones. I'm so happy! I'm going out with like, the best guy ever.
Xoxo,
