I know it sounds dumb, cheasy, stupid and idiotic, but it was a plan none the less. It is probably the most horrible thing I have ever said, but aw well.
Well, what if I made Josie look like a jerk or something? I flinched at the thought. I barely knew her! what if I made myself seem perfect? No, I couldn't. I backed up from him twice before and he doesn't want that to happen again.
I rubbed my forehead in irritation. This seriously was a cheasy high school drama! It was the second freakin day I knew her, and we are already fighting. I instantly hated my life. Again.
"Ooh! We should dock down here, Max! Look it! Look it!" Nudge pointed excitedly to a lake down.
I smiled. "Okay!" We all narrowed our wings and bulleted down. With a splash, we hit the water like arrows. I was laughing. The cold water felt good against my skin. I twirled, and with my awesome vision, I saw Fang.
He had his rare Fang-smile. I smiled more broadly at the site of that, and angled towards him. He looked at me and laughed a little. Almost in unison, we surfaced with gasps for breath.
I circled my arms, trying to keep floating.
"OH MY GOD THAT WAS AWESOME!" Nudge screamed. I turned to her.
"Totally." I agreed.
Eventually, I got out of the water and watched them play. Josie came out.
"Hey, Max." She said. She sat down next to me.
"So you liking the life of the flock?" I asked.
"It's cool." She replied.
"Yeah, it got better after we got away from the Flyboys and Erasers."
Then Fang lingered out of the water. I tried to gleam as brightly as I could. He sat next to me, so I was surrounded by them.
"Heeeeeeey Fang." I said.
"Hey, Max. Can I talk to you?" He asked.
"Uh, I guess." Fang got up and I got up. Josie's eyes bore into my back, I could tell. We took off and we were gliding over the tops of the forest trees. He didn't smile now. He looked extremely concentrated.
He docked onto a ledge on the side of a canyon. I followed and we both sat down. He sighed and turned to me.
"Okay." He sighed. "I need to tell you something."
"Yeah?" My heart sped a little.
"Please don't judge me on this. I asked Angel what you two were thinking-"
"Aw, great." I said sarcastically and looked away. Angel seemed like she betrayed me. This time it was for real.
"Well, yeah. I know. I heard you guys were, kinda', well... Fighting over me, I guess?" He said. I still didn't look at him.
He sighed again. "I wanted to tell you this, though. No hard feelings, but I like Josie."
