Hey guys!! so many thanks to those who reviewed, you guys are awesome and you motivated me into writing this chapter. I will like to thank Natalia and Mariela for helping me in this chapter. Oh and just a reminder that Max is a regular girl without wings okay, so on with the story...

God, I was so not ready for school today. After what happened yesterday, I was anxious to see, Fang. I mean call me crazy, but the guy draws me in, and I was not happy about it. After Fang left yesterday, I told myself over and over that the fact that I missed him was because I felt lonely, yeah that was it.

I guess living alone makes you feel that way sometimes, and even though I have no complains about it, I'd like to see my mom more often. As for my dad, he was always an asshole, so I don't miss him at all. Living alone all these years made me strong, that's why I'm always paranoid and ever since I was a little girl I was always two steps ahead of everyone and I was always the independent one.

Today was just like yesterday, the girls talking about the hottest new boy, who they would totally go for. The guys talking about getting close to the new guy, so they could get into girl's pants. Was everything about Fang? And where was he anyway, not that I was waiting for him or anything like that but, isn't he supposed to be here by now?

As if on cue, Fang walked in and just like yesterday he took his seat, ignored the stares and the people ogling him and sat down in the farthest seat, next to the window. He was wearing a black jacket but the same jeans as yesterday and his black converse. He was silently staring at the blue sky outside and he sighed, lost in deep thought. For a moment, I wondered what he was thinking, before I realized I probably sounded like a stalker, and mentally scolded myself.

He found me staring at him and his eyes locked with mine. I shyly smiled at him and his lips gave me the hint of a smile. I felt my cheeks get warm and I quickly looked away, if I blushed without him fully smiling then I couldn't imagine myself blushing, if he did smile. Oh, God!

I sounded so stupid and I was angry at Fang for making me feel like that. Sometimes I just wanted to whack myself in the head.

Before I could do something stupid, I stared straight ahead, not turning to look at Fang. I zoned out through class and I paid no attention whatsoever to the teacher. I mean who cares about some old dead guys, who apparently "contributed" to the world of literature. Boring, as hell. I basically did the same thing in the rest of my classes; I paid no attention to any of them.

When the bell rang, signaling lunch, I picked up my things and before I could go, I ran into Fang, again, on my way out. I looked up to see a startled Fang, and I said "You know it's getting annoying for you to always bump into me like that".

Amusement flashed in his eyes and he said, "Well, that makes two of us then."

We walked side by side and then he surprised me by saying, "How 'bout you sit with me at lunch, Max?" He said it so quietly, I wasn't even sure I heard him right. This kid was more puzzling than solving a rubix cube and I can tell you, it is not as easy to solve as it looks.

Before I could respond, he looked me in the eyes and I couldn't say no to him then, so I just nodded, not saying anything. He looked at me a little longer but then he shook his head and said, "See ya, in a few."

He left me standing there like an air head looking in his direction. What the hell is wrong with me! Why couldn't I just say no? Maybe it was because of his puzzling presence or maybe his eyes, either way he frustrated me! Just lunch, Max, relax. It was just lunch, nothing else.

I found him in a table away from everybody else; he studied everything and everyone just like he did at home. I sat in front of him and I noticed all the food he had, the guy could eat. I ate a lot too, so it was refreshing to see someone else eating as much as me.

"Why did you ask me to sit with you, Fang?" My question made him look up from his food, he could sense my curiosity and for the first time he smiled a full smile, I almost choked on my pizza; he had the most beautiful smile I've seen.

"'Cause maybe, I wanted to," his tone was cocky and irritating; who did he think he was?

"You know Fang, you really irritate me, "my voice was sharp and I threw him my famous glare, but he didn't even cringe. Instead he looked rather amused, and all he said was, "I know."

That did it; you know I don't really have a good temper so I snapped. "Will it kill you to talk in full sentences, Fang? I don't know what's your problem but right know you're pissing me off and you won't like it when I get mad, and guess what I'm one step away from hurting you!"

He stood up, his eyes flashing as he answered me in a quiet, deadly tone, "You are so full of yourself, Max, if you think I have a problem then you should take a look at yourself."

We stood like that glaring at each other and not saying anything. At least nobody noticed our little scene because we were far away.

Suddenly Fang grabbed my backpack and said, "Let's go."I was still mad at him, so I didn't move from where I was standing. He then grabbed my hand and pulled me forward, leaving our lunch trays and everything.

"Where are we going?" I snarled.

"Away from here," Fang said, still holding my hand and my back pack. I tried to ignore that as we headed outside school, and to our school parking.

"Are we ditching our afternoon classes?"

He raised one black eyebrow and said, "Is that a problem, are you scared you might get caught?"

He was mocking me! The asshole thought he could actually mess with me. I met his eyes evenly and answered him in a confident tone, "As if, I hate school."

He shook his head and we headed in the direction of the forest, he looked like he knew where he was going so I just followed him and glared at his back the whole time. He kept walking and as we headed deeper inside the forest, his hands didn't let go of mine.

"Where are you going, Fang?"

He let out a frustrated sigh, "Do you always ask so many questions?"

I pursed my lips and bit my tongue so as to not scream profanities at him.

We were very deep in the forest by now, I could hear the birds chirping and the sound of our feet, walking to God knows where! Did I already say I just met the guy yesterday and now I was walking with him, alone to who knows where?

I don't know why but for a minute there, those things didn't matter. He didn't look like a bad guy, even if he was hard to figure out. He was still holding my hand and his hand felt warm and comforting. I sighed and decided that I was going to figure Fang out, because he was not the typical boy next door guy, he was the misunderstood quiet one.

We reached a mountain wall that was not too high but not too small either. It had small rocks that I guess people used to hold onto, while climbing. Which is exactly what Fang was doing, climbing the dang wall. Fang looked at me; he saw me, still on the ground.

"Max, you gotta climb up, I want to show you something up there."

"Why should I?" I raised my eyebrow and challenged him to answer my question.

"Are you scared, Max or do you not know how to do something as simple as climbing?"There he goes again, daring me. His arrogant tone made me want to strangle him.

I quickly put my feet on the rock closest to the ground and started to climb up, determined to beat him to the top, but to my surprise he swiftly, without even breathing hard, climbed up. I followed closely after, but unlike him I was actually a little breathless, 'cause even though I'm fit and strong, climbing was a little exhausting.

From here you could see the rest of the forest, its view was breath taking and beautiful. I've always seen the forest, but never from here. You could see the trees and you could feel the wind colder from here. Fang came and laid down on the ground, closing his eyes. He looked relaxed and a slight smile graced his lips. I could tell he enjoyed being here and I didn't blame him because up here, it was very peaceful. So as usual, I was the one who broke the silence.

"Fang, this place is amazing, but I don't get why you brought me here, with you in the first place?"

He looked at me then and he slowly sat up, I sat down next to him and faced him. He studied my face carefully before answering me.

"Yesterday when I left your house I stumbled upon this place, I know you were alone and since you have nothing to do today, I thought maybe we could chill here for awhile."

I blinked in shock at what he said, once again he surprised me. I started to say something but he cut me off.

"I don't know you but I can tell that despite what you want people to think, you're hiding what you really feel."He didn't look at me when he said that and he looked lost in thought. "You're brave, Max."

I didn't like talking about me; it made me uncomfortable because right now what he was saying was true and it scared me.

"I like it up here; it makes me feel closer to the sky."While he said this he looked so peaceful and stress free that I forgot about everything and focused only on him.

We laid down side by side and his faced turned to look at me and this time he truly smiled, a full smile. It was as breath taking as the scenery .It was then that I realized that by his side I felt safe and even happy which in my case is almost impossible but at that moment I didn't care that I didn't know Fang. All I saw was his gorgeous full smile and that by his side I was comfortable and at peace for the first time ever.
