I figured out what to do with the story, but, the updates will be slow until September/October. By then, the updates should pick up the pace. Also I made a few changes to the story. There is no longer a lacrosse team. It is also October in the story now. And I probably made a few more, minor you for reading!

Chapter Eight:

"Ella, this is Nudge, Iggy, Flynn, Mandy, Dex, and James." I introduced. Ella smiled at all of them and struck up a conversation with Mandy, who I have grown to dislike.

I'm not exactly sure what I don't like about her, but even her presence annoys me. She's just one of those people you know?

"Is Carter coming?" I heard Iggy ask. "I haven't talked to him in a few days, considering he's been in ISS." ISS is In School Suspension and Carter had earned himself seat in there for a week.

Nudge shook her head, "His parents grounded him, so he can't come."

Nudge ran to the door when someone knocked on it and brought in two girls. One with brown hair with blue streaks going through it and she had a sleeve of tattoos. The other girl had frizzy red hair but it worked for her.

"Guys, everyone knows Lissa right?" Nudge said, pointing to the girl with the frizzy red hair. Then moved next to the girl with the sleeve of tattoos. "This is my cousin, Amy." There was an assortment of hi's to Amy and Nudge came over to me.

"Fang never really gave me an answer. So who knows if he is coming." She said, just to me, than she talked louder, "Alright. Everyone is staying over right?" Everyone nodded and found a comfortable spot in Nudge's living room.

Nudge made her way into the kitchen to grab an extra bowel to put more popcorn in. She already had set soda's and other food out and she ordered a pizza which will be here soon hopefully. I was starving. Nudge came in with not only another bowel but the pizza. Everyone jumped up and grabbed two pizzas and sat down again. Ella was sitting in between Dex and Mandy, then right was Flynn. Then on a chair was Amy and Lissa sat on the floor, leaning on the chair. Carter was sitting on another chair in the room and I was leaning against that chair on the floor. The floor was covered in carpet so it wasn't that uncomfortable. Nudge was laying on her stomach next to the table and James was sitting next to her, his hand on her back.

"Nudge, where are your parents at?" Amy asked.

Nudge turned around and smiled at us, "They went out for a date night." She sat up to take a drink of soda and someone knocked on her door. Her eyes locked with mind and she motioned for me to follow her. "Do you think it's Fang?" She asked me.

I shrugged, "Open the door." I stood behind her and watched as she opened the door all the way to show Fang.

"You made it!" Nudge said, smiling. Fang nodded, clearly uncomfortable. "Okay, we have a bunch of food and drinks in the living room. And make yourself at home." She grabbed Fang's wrist and pulled him into the living room, me trailing behind him.

He turned his head towards me and I smiled at him, "Everyone, this is Fang. And I'm going to put the movie in now. So hurry up and use the bathroom or whatever." Lissa and Mandy walked to the bathroom and Nudge got the dvd ready.

I sat down once again and motioned to Fang to come sit with me. He sat down and grabbed a soda off the table. "Hey." I said to him. He nodded at me, "Hey. What exactly are we watching?"

I shrugged, "Some scary movie Nudge found."

A few hours later and Nudge's parents told us not to be to loud and the movie was over. We were all just currently eating and talking when Nudge came back from the bathroom. "Do you guys want to play like, Man Hunt or something."

Almost everyone nodded, "Okay, how many people are here." Nudge said to herself. "Okay, Mandy, James, me, Ella, and Dex will be one team and Carter you will be the guard for the first round. Flynn, Max, Amy, Lissa, and Fang, you're another team and you guys can hide first. My porch will be the jail. Just in case not everyone knows how to play, I'll explain it. One team hides while another team seeks and when a person is found they are brought back to the jail. If you see someone who is supposed to find you, you can run. People that are in the jail can escape, if they are stealthy enough." Nudge laughed. " Oh, and hide only on my street please! That's basically it, let's go outside."

We all paraded outside and Nudge's team sat on the porch with their eyes closed while my team hid. I went all the way down to the end of the street and went into someone's backyard and hid behind a bunch of bushes. I sat down and took a deep breath, I leaned against the fence that separated the houses. Even though it was just the beginning of October it was cold. I was happy that I had worn long sleeves under my sweatshirt. I peeked over the bushes I was hiding behind and saw Dex and he was coming this way. If I could stay along the fence, I could get away. I slowly start to crawl along the fence, then I peeked through another set of bushes.

He was starting to near them, so I crouched instead of crawled and quickly followed the fence. When the bushes ended, I ran. "Hey!" Dex yelled, spotting me. I smiled at ran faster. I ran through people's front yards and backyards and stopped behind a tree. Dex was still a few houses down and I realized that the tree I stopped behind, was a tree house. I glanced at the house, and then started to climb. At first I didn't notice Lissa in the tree house, I was just watching Dex.

"Max?" Lissa whispered, making me jump. "Holy crap, Lissa. I just died a little." I whispered back.

"Who is out there?" She asked.

I looked through the window of the tree house. "Dex, and James are out there. Their pointing up here." I said ducking down.

We stayed ducked down and out of sight of the windows for a good ten minutes before Lissa decided it was safe and looked out the window. "They are gone." She said, going towards the ladder that led out of the tree house.

She started climbing down and I went down after her only to have two hands holding my arms. "Gotcha." Dex said. Lissa screamed in surprise, then laughed, "You scared me."

Dex and James took us down the street to Nudge's house and put us on her porch. Flynn was there too, drinking a Coke. "Hey, guys. I've tried to escape but he just won't have it." Flynn pointed to Carter.

I smiled and rolled my eyes, I sat down on the porch swing and Lissa sat next to me. Flynn was sitting below us. "I'm going to make a distraction. When I do, run and hide." I said, barely moving my mouth. I felt like we were breaking out of jail. "Now." I ran straight towards Carter, and his strong muscled arms wrapped around my waist and he put me back onto the porch. Nudge and Ella were bringing Fang to the porch.

"They caught you? You like blend into the night." I said, shocked. Ella laughed and left with nudge.

Fang smirked, "Well, Ella chased me and Nudge stopped me."

A few minutes later Lissa was brought back to the porch, "My sacrifice for you was for nothing?" I laughed.

She smiled and shook her head, sitting down. "Yeah, apparently, Mandy is a fast runner." Then Amy was brought up, mumbling about how Dex didn't have to tackle her.

"I got Flynn!" James yelled. Then the rest of their team came up onto the porch, smiling proudly.

"Alright," Nudge said, "It's our turn to hide!" The team all ran off in different directions as my team closed our eyes.
