Hey y'all, NBJT speaking. I know I haven't updated in a while, and I'm not going to lie to you. I can't be bothered. But I'm sitting here feeling bored, so I thought: Why not? To be fair to myself, I am writing a book. I'm now on 50,000 words, so I am happpeeeee!
Anyway, on with the fatabulous story...
Chapter Five: We're moving on...
My thoughts were pretty much going crazy for the rest of the night. I mean, I'd obviously kissed boys before. I'd even had a few boyfriends, although I always got bored of them quickly. But I had never felt like that before. Ever.
I wasn't sure how to react when I saw him next, so I decided that the best thing to do was to act like it never happened. I mean, I was taking the piss out of Fang, so No-one could learn about this.
I wandered over to where dearest Angel-cake was sitting, and I grabbed her by her mangy shirt-collar.
'Listen, small child. You can read minds, so I want you to—'
'Okay.'
'What the hell,' I stared at her small white face. 'Are you talking about?'
'You don't want me to tell anyone about you and Iggy kissing, because you're embarrassed and unsure of your own feelings. You have trust issues based on the fact of your mmmmph.' I clapped a hand over her mouth.
'No analysing me, right? I forgot you can read minds. Although now I think about it, that's an odd thing to forget about considering that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Anyway, you got what you're to do?'
'mmph.'
'Sure?'
'mmph.'
'Good.' I released her mouth, and we both started walking to where max was calling for us. God, I hope that this whole doing-what-Max-says thing isn't becoming a habit. I might have to kill myself.
'Okay flock,' Max's eyes fell on me and she added: 'and Heather.'
'Hey, I'm part of this flock! Aren't I Fang?' I shot him a 'blackmailing starts now' look, and he mumbled something.
'I can't hear you!'
'I said that Heather is part of the flock now. After all, she did beat you in the race.'
Max glared at me, and I smiled at her sweetly. Then I met Iggy's glance and I shut up and tried to hide inside myself.
'Anyway, the point is that it's time to move on. We're gonna move up England towards Scotland today, and there's no wings.' A universal groan, except from me.
'Why Max? You know it hurts my wings to crunch them up all the time, and the last time we went in a car we got stopped, and Angel had to use her mind power, and everyone was grouchy for ages afterwards. And also it messes up my hair when we have to—' I kicked Nudge in the ankle, and she fell over. I met Max's next glare and shrugged.
'I'm not apologising.'
She shook her head and continued: 'Guys, I know you all want to fly. Hell, I really want to stretch my wings too, but this place is too damn cramped. It's not like good old USA, here there are towns everywhere. So I'm just asking you to co-operate, and maybe when we get to Scotland we can fly again.'
I began clapping slowly, and all the others stared at me. 'What? I thought it was a good speech.'
'You,' Max pointed at me viciously. Didn't she know that it was rude to point? 'You are going to get very boring very quickly. Please can you just try to get on with everyone?'
'Aye aye, captain Maxi!'
'Don't call me Maxi. Fang, you come with me to find a car. You lot, stay here for a couple of minutes. And don't tear each other apart.'
'I'm sure you and Fangsie would love that, but I can't make any promises.' And then off they flew, looking like friggin' batman in the early morning light.
Yeah yeah, It's short, I know. Don't kill me. But what can I do?
Please review. Reviews make me update quicker.
