Sorry I didn't update as fast as I usually do! I've been busy! Like really busy, but on the bright side this chapter has lots of fax, most of it is on Fangs part, but whatever its still fax. Oh and I did something a little different, I switch from Max to Fangs point of view in here so that I can show you what's really going on in his head, so sorry if that's going to confuse some people. One last thing before I do the disclaimer, remember I still need last names for my characters! So if you could give me some more ideas that would be great! Thanks! Oh and because no one answered my question about what you want to happen between Dylan and Max, I decided to keep them together, just to torture you! Muhahahah! Oh and I don't own maximum ride, James Patterson does! I only own Kat, Ariel (who is not in this chapter), Drew (also not in this chapter) and the plot.

"Max we need to talk"

"There's nothing to say Dylan" I said slightly exasperated.

"No, Max, we both know that there is a lot to say. Starting with why we're fighting anyway."

"Oh, come on Dylan, we both know it's because of your new found obsession with little Miss. Lissa."

"Nothing happened! At least not on for me! I don't know what you saw."

"Oh yeah sure, that was nothing, I haven't seen you act like that since, well, you never acted like that! Not even with me!"

"Max, you're overreacting."

"No, I'm not! I see the way bitches like Lissa look at you, I'm not oblivious! And in case you haven't noticed, they all stand around and practically undress you with their eyes!"

"It wasn't ever a problem before."

"That's because normally you don't return the favor!"

"You don't understand, do you?"

"What? What don't I understand?"

"Max, you should know by now that you're the only girl I ever really look at, and that's the way it's always been, and that's the way it's always going to be." He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into him, then he leant down to kiss me, but before he did he said three words that scared the shit out of me, those words were "I love you". I my mind froze, what the hell was that supposed to mean? How do I feel about it? This isn't going to turn him into an overly-protective-to-the-point-of-being-a-stalker kind of boyfriend? Oh god that would be bad, he was bad enough before he said those three annoying words, now he probably won't let me out of his sight! Oh god, that also means he'll be making err, certain demands more often, I barely get out of it as it is! Does he think I return his feelings? Do I return his feelings-wait-I don't want to know the answer to that question.

I pulled up to our house and parked. I walked into a very worried Nudge and a very hopeful Ella, "Hey guys, what's up?"

"What happened?" they screamed at the same time.

"Well hello to you too. God you guys are loud!"

"Maaaax!" they whined.

"Fine, go up to my room and wait there while I say hi to Ari." They squealed and ran up the stairs to my room debating my decision every step of the way.

"Hey Ari"

"S'up Max"

"Did you hear form Ella and Nudge?"

He laughed "and Iggy and Gazzy. So did you dump the Bastard?"

"I was about to then he told me that he loved me and kissed me. I'm not cruel enough to break up with him right after that!" Ari just shook his head, I could tell that it would be best to leave before he started teasing me about what Dylan had said. "I have to go and spill all the details to Ella and Nudge, talk to you later."

Upstairs Ella and Nudge demanded every little detail, as I suspected. Nudge let out a whoop after I told them I was still with Dylan, and Ella just looked at me, as if to say, are you sure that was a good idea? I just shrugged, honestly, I had a feeling I was going to regret it, but what can you do? What happens, happens, there's nothing you can do.

"They're still together, sorry man."

"It's no biggy, it's not like I've had a crush on her since we were ten." I said with a shrug.

"Don't talk like that! You'll have your chance!"

"Yeah, right after she stops hating me, and that will happen when all hell freezes over or when I become the king of England."

"Uhg! You and Max are the most stubborn people I have ever met!"

"And you just figured that out?"

"NICK!"

I groaned, "Yeah Ella?"

"You lost the bet! That means I get to give you a makeover!"

"WHAT? Oh you mean that bet, damn it, I forgot." Under my breath I added, "She's still with him, and she still hates me, why don't we call the plan off? It's not like it's going to work."

"Oh suck it up, Nudge and I are going to give you a makeover, and it is going to work. You just have to give it some time. Oh and don't tell Nudge the real reason we're doing this, she still wants Max with Dylan, so keep up the act that you hate it."

"Trust me, it won't be an act."

"So you'll still do it? Yay, I have to go see you!"

"Wait, when do I have to go through this torture?"

"This weekend." I groaned again.

When I walked into homeroom Nudge was bouncing up in down with excitement, Iggy looked like he was trying not to laugh and Fang, well Fang looked like he was in the middle of a huge hangover, this should be good. "Hey guys, what's up with him?" I pointed at Fang.

"He, um, lost a bet." Iggy said still holding back laughs.

"Yeah! Ella and I get to give him a makeover! And he has to let us cut his hair!" Nudge said. I was disappointed, I thought she would go into one of her usual rants, but she didn't.

"Wait! What?" Fang sat bolt upright, "You and Ella are going to cut my hair? I thought I would at least get to have it done b a professional!"

"Well, you can have a professional do it that is if you pay for it yourself"

"Oh, good, I'm not letting you or Ella near my head with a pair of scissors."

"Wow! It's such a rare experience! The infamous Fang actually had a conversation that lasted more than one sentence!" now Iggy couldn't help it and he was cracking up so hard he was all but rolling up on the floor. Fang just scowled and put his head back on the table.

"But I want to come!"

"Why do you want to come so bad? Shouldn't you be hanging out with your… boyfriend, or something?"

"I want to see you torture Fang! Please! I'm begging you! This is a once in a life time opportunity! You have to let me come!"

"Fine, but you have to keep quiet, meaning no commentary or laughing allowed, got it?"

"Sure, whatever you say, but can I talk about other stuff that has nothing to do with his makeover?"

"Sure, but you can't insult, tease or mock him what so ever."

"Buzz kill."

"Max."

"Fine! No insults, teasing or mocking of any kind!"

"No crossies."

"Damn it!"

Here goes the worst day of my life, the day that I go through what no teenage boy should go through, a makeover. Why the hell did I agree to do this stupid thing in the first place? Then the doorbell rang, they're here, fun! (Please note sarcasm) I went and opened the door, "Ready?"

"As I'll ever be." Then I looked up and saw the answer to my previous question, standing right in behind Ella and trying not to laugh her head off at my response, or was it the fact that I'm miserable? I don't know but as usual I put on the show and acted like I hated her, I scowled and looked at Ella "What is she doing here? Isn't it bad enough that I'm getting a makeover in the first place? I don't need to deal with the torture of having to look at her!"

"She had nothing better to do and she can be very entertaining, so needless to say we brought Max so that we wouldn't get bored out of our minds while you try stuff on."

"Uh-huh, sure you did."

"Come on we have to go! You're going to get a haircut first, then we'll buy new shirts, jeans, and well, we're basically replacing everything that's in your closet."

"What about my ear ring?"

"You have an ear ring? Why? I mean I know Iggy has one but you?"

"Don't worry about it there are only two people outside my family that know, and that's Max and Iggy."

"You kept it? I was pretty sure that you'd get rid of it after…" Max suddenly blurted out.

"Yeah I kept it, remember the promise we made? Yeah, I don't break my promises, so I kept it."

"Whoa whoa whoa, back it up, what promise and when did all this happen?" we all looked at Nudge who had been uncharacteristically quiet the last few days, so much so we had forgotten about her.

Lucky for me I didn't have to answer, Max did it for me, "Um, well when I got my ears pierced I was freaking out because I didn't want random holes in my ears, so I made Iggy and Fang promise to pierce theirs too. They did it the same day I got mine, no one noticed Fangs because his hair was so long and Iggy, well he's Iggy, people expect that kind of stuff from him, so it wasn't that big a deal." She said with a shrug. Before turning and heading back to her car. We all just stood there for a second then followed her.

We got to the mall and the first place we went was the barber shop, Ella showed the man a few pictures of what she wanted and then he came over to me. Halfway through the haircut the man looked at me and asked, "Why exactly are you letting three girls choose your hairstyle? I mean, what if you don't like it?"

"It's just the first two the other one is just here because she wants to see me tortured. And I kind of lost a bet, and I agreed to let them give me a full out makeover if I lost, so if I don't like it, well it's really too bad for me, 'cause I can't change it."

"Wow, I haven't heard that one before."

I have to admit Fangs haircut looked really good, it was kind of long and his bangs fell in his eyes, giving him an even more mysterious-emo look then he already had. Nudge saw that his ear ring didn't look so good so we went to hot topic and got him a single black stud, which she made him put in immediately. Then we went shopping where Ella declared that his new colors were going to be black, red, grey, dark blue, forest green, and on occasion white, and that if he wore any other color she would kill him, bring him back to life, clone him and then torture everyone of his clones in various painful ways until they're all dead (while he watches it happen to) and then she'd kill him again (I really taught her well). Of course I wasn't allowed to see anything because they said it was going to be a surprise on Monday. We finished shopping and went to the food court. "Food!" I practically screamed, then Nudge, Fang and I all went to buy as much as possible, while Ella looked at us with disgust, "How can you eat all that?" she asked.

We shrugged and said in unison "High metabolism." Then we went back to eating, when we were done Ella and Nudge went to Fangs house so that they could pick out his "debut" outfit, all he did was groan. I could tell that he had had enough and just wanted them out, so naturally I encouraged the idea, earning a glare from Fang.

When I got home I saw Kat outside my house waiting for me, "MAX!" she yelled when she saw me.

"Hey Kat, what's up?"

"I need to talk to you right now."

"Um, okay let's go up to my room, we can talk there." We went up to my room and she sat down on my couch; I closed the door and sat down with her. "Okay, spill it what's wrong?"

"I heard Lissa talking to someone on the phone last night, and I heard her say Dylan, so naturally I listened in and she was talking about how they kissed and how he had told her that he wanted her but had to be with you and how he wasn't going to be the one to break it off, she was also talking about how they made it to third base already, but he said Fourth would have to wait until you were out of the picture. I didn't believe it at first, but then I realized that when I'd seen them in the hall they always looked awkward if you were around even if you weren't looking at them or talking to Dylan. So I figured that it had to be the truth, so I came over and waited for you, I didn't want to tell you over the phone or through text or anything, because that, well that's too much to take in and I wanted to actually be there for you." When she finally finished I wasn't sure if I was angry, hurt, sad or kind of relieved, I don't know where relieved came from, but that was what I felt. Was I relieved that he didn't really love me? Probably. Was I angry because he cheated? Hell yeah. Was I hurt because of it? That goes without saying. Was I sad? Surprisingly, I wasn't sad, at all. I realized that Kat was still waiting for me to respond.

"Honestly, I was going to break up with him before but that was when I had a reason, and proof." I said and she looked shocked, "Now all I need is to do is catch them together, and I can be free of that giant imbecile that I currently call my boyfriend."

"You're not mad?"

"Honey, I'm more than mad, I'm pissed."

"But you're saying that the fact that I just told you that didn't make you want to burst out into tears? I was right about you, you are different from most girls, but in a good way. Now how are we going to get this to work?"

"Well we could get tracking chips, put them in their bags and watch until they meet up outside of class or school and catch them then."

"No that's too complicated how about we pay someone to follow one of them, and then take a pic of them making out and bam! We have a perfectly legit reason for you to dump Dylan's sorry ass!"

"That could work, but I don't think we need to pay them, I know just the person for the job, and a bonus, he works for free."
