I got up and flew towards the rest of the flock. Just as I expected, Josie flew near Fang the whole time. Fang was faintly smiling, and I was frowning. We docked near a group of trees.
"Okay, let's go to sleep." I said. Fang laid down on a branch of a tree next to me, and Josie slept right above him. She looked the tiniest bit upset that I took 'her' spot. I smiled to myself.
We stacked fists (I had to explain to Josie that whole thing) and went to sleep.
Fang POV
I stared at Josie. She was really pretty. She looked different from Max, though. Her hair was cut short and it was brown. She had a skinny nose and pale skin.
Then I looked at Max. She had blond hair, tan skin and a thicker nose. I looked away from her quickly, to just continue to stare at Josie. Her head was hanging over the edge of the branch above me.
Then Max moved in her sleep, groaning a little. Her eyes fluttered open, and I looked away from Josie.
"Hey." She grumbled.
"Hey." I said back.
"Everyone else asleep?" She said softly.
"Fang?" She said, looking up to me.
"Yeah?"
She hesitated. "Uh, never mind."
Max POV
That night I had come so close to telling him I loved him. But I'm not all girly like that. I don't get into all that soft 'You're so sweet' stuff, or 'Honey', or just about any of that stuff. So I didn't.
That morning, Angel acted oddly around us. She was probably a little confused on what had happened.
I thought about the two times we had kissed. Once in that cave, and the other time on the dock. Both times I had run away. Now I regretted that decision. I realized what he said about me was true. I got jealous and protective so easily over him, but every time he had showed feelings for me I ran away from it.
This time, I wouldn't. This time I wasn't going to knock him down.
We ate strawberries Nudge and Angel picked. Then we took a little a little flight. Me, Fang and Josie were talking most of the time. The competition showed more every second.
Then I started thinking of a plan.
