OK I know I took a while to update but this chapter has drama, new characters and you get to know Max a little bit better. Now I start with my excuses for not updating, I was at camp for two weeks, when I got back I was missing my notebook with the plot written in it, then I was banned from the computer, then my mom went somewhere (I'm not telling where stalkers!) and took the charger with her meaning I had to work with a half full battery that was running out and last but not least I had no idea where I was going with this chapter until I woke up this morning.
After history Kat and I headed to biology. We walked in and sat down as far away from Dylan and Lissa as possible, which just so happened to be at Sam's table. the tree of us were talking when the teacher came in so we didn't notice when the room got quiet, or when the teacher walked straight up to our table, or when she cleared her throat, what finally got our attention was the detention slips that got taped to our heads. "Now that that's cleared up we can begin." Mrs. Z said. Before turning on her heel and marching back up the aisle. "Today I will be assigning groups for your end of term projects. Lizzy, Conner, Brianna and Michal A. you are group one. Sasha, Michal G., Carter and Alexandra, you are group two. Brian, Seymour, Karly and Erica you're group number three. And last but not least group four, Max, Kat, Sam, Dylan and Lissa. Please get into your groups and I will come around and give you your topics." Kat and I just sat there stunned; I'm with Dylan AND Lissa! That's worse than being paired with a couple of kindergarteners! Oh god, oh god! This is bad! And not to mention I also have Sam and Kat in my group! They hate their sister! I have a feeling we're going to fail, and fail epically. Well straight A's it was nice knowing you!
After class was over Sam and I walked out together, Kat wasn't with us because she and Lissa got into a fight, and let's just say Lissa will most likely have a black eye tomorrow. Anyway Sam and I are surprisingly close for not knowing each other very long. So what he said next surprised me. "You know I don't think this project is going to be all that bad."
I looked at him "really? Somehow I doubt that."
"Well Dylan and Lissa are the bad part, but on the Brightside I get to spend time with you."
"That's not much of a Brightside." I said. He laughed.
"It is to me." he said softly before taking my hand in his. I looked into his eyes, big mistake what I saw scared me and thrilled me at the same time. He leaned in until his for head was resting gently on mine, I stopped breathing, "Before you say anything, I have to say this I love you and I have since the moment I laid eyes on you." Then he kissed me full on the lips, I felt his arms wrap around my waste pulling me closer to him, and before I knew it I was kissing him back. When we finally pulled away I felt a strange mixture of giddiness and regret. Sam looked at me, and smiled. I was about to pull out of our embrace when he said "Does this mean you'd like to be my girlfriend?" I hesitated, it just doesn't seem right, but it did fell kind of good, I'm sure he won't be like Dylan, it seems a little early considering I just had my heart broken, did my heart even break? I made my decision.
"Yeah I think it does."
"Good I was hoping that would be your answer." He said with a smile. Then he kissed me on the cheek "I have to go to drama, see you later." I just nodded and waved. I should be happy right? So why do I feel like I've done something wrong?
Oh no where did Max and Sam go? I can't leave them alone! Oh no oh no! They're doing it again! I should have known! I should have known Sam didn't go back to normal! Lissa corrupted him and now one of my new best friends has been used! I have to tell mom! She might be able to stop them, but how she's in France, it's not like she'll be able to monitor every move they make from there. Dads no use he's the reason they do this! Not to mention he hates me! What did I even do! So what I was born with black hair and grey eyes. I admit I look nothing like my dad and Lissa has his eyes while Sam has his hair, I look completely different but I'm still his child! Great now I'm off topic, what was I doing? Oh yeah Max and Sam! I whipped around the corner just in time to see Sam kiss her on the cheek. I ran up to her. "MAX!" she turned and waited for me to catch up, "What just happened with you and Sam?" way to be blunt! God I suck at this!
"He uh kinda ask-d-meh-oh" she said turning a slight shade of pink.
"He what?" Max was blushing! This is defiantly a bad sign!
"He asked me out." She said her whole face tuning red as a cherry. "And I kind of said yes."
"YOU WHAT? Oh no this is bad this is very bad!"
"What's so bad about it?"
"He's using you! He and Lissa do this at every school we've been at since third grade! They just want to be popular! Even worse they want to have power, so what they do is they break up the power couple and then they start going out with them. Once the power couple was gay and Lissa pretended to be a guy! That's how desperate they are!"
"Sam wouldn't do that! Especially not to me! He hates Lissa what makes you think that he would work with her? I mean honestly you're being a little ridicules don't you think?"
"I think I would know my siblings, and no I'm not being ridicules I was trying to help you but I guess you don't want my help!"
"Well at least you're right about one thing!" She screamed before turning and running away. I guess I won't be seeing Max in Brit-lit.
I ran, that's all I could do run, there was too much going on. Why can't anyone just leave me alone! I mean honestly it's like a rule that I can only be happy for a minute sometimes less! I guess Kats just not a good friend I mean a good friend would be happy for me or else they'd pretend to be. I wonder how Fang will react, he probably won't care, he never cares when it comes to this stuff, why doesn't he? Is it me? God I wish just once that I could make him jealous! Wait where did that come from? Since when do I want to make Fang jealous? I he's my best friend! God why do I have to be so confusing! I even confuse myself! Maybe I'm pmsing, I checked this morning I don't think I am anyway I'm not due for at least another week. Stupid hormones why can't you all go to hell! Uhg! "Hey if it isn't little Maxi! How ya been kid?" I turned to see my old friend Eric standing in the doorway of his apartment.
"Eric! Long time no see!"
"Aw yeah I was doing some work for the boss, he sent me to the south side to check up on some of our members, they were doing some pretty dumbass things down there, excuse my French, they broke the code and went into the drug game, pretty ugly stuff, but not as ugly as those cheap bastards faces after I was threw with 'em."
"Oh I pity the poor son of a-uh-gun that had to suffer your wrath." He laughed.
"I see you're still working on cleaning up your mouth."
I blushed "Yeah it was getting pretty bad."
"Worse than the last time? Honestly you used to swear like a sailor!"
"Yeah, Yeah, well I better be on my way I can only afford to miss one class." I said and I started walking back in the direction of school, but as soon as he was out of sight I ran for home. Eric might be second in command of one of the biggest gangs in this area, but he's still pretty protective, he's almost like a brother to me. And before you get you panties in a twist, his Gang might be big but the only thing they do is street fighting, no drugs, no guns and no wars with the police, actually they help the police bust the other gangs in exchange for freedom to keep on doing almost whatever they want. Another thing you should know about Eric's gang, I used to be a member. That's how I know him. Anyway I sprinted home as fast as I could and ran up the stairs, I didn't care about anything I just wanted to be left alone, I didn't even care that my bike was parked out front, and I wasn't the one who put it there.
Haha cliffy! Who could it be? Sam? Fang? Ari? Eric? Or creepy stalker person that no one knows? (Honestly I don't even know! Haha) Please review! I must have reviews! If you don't review I won't update! (not true but still!)
