I Don't Like Your Girlfriend Chapter 3, a maximum ride fanfic

CHAPTER 3

Max P.O.V

The lad walked on as I looked on through the window, Nudge, Ella and Gazzy all finished their media fix for the day and would follow me who would be following the head who would be dropping us off at different classes. The bell went and we set off dropping Gazzy off first who looked quite cool in a pair of sunglasses, jeans and a shirt with a collar. He walked in proudly and started talking about stuff he had done whilst the rest of the class listened intently. Next up was Ella who looked a little scared going in but grinned when she saw the class probably only seeing the lads. Nudge was after that and started talking immediately I have no idea how they'll keep her quiet, then there was one. I walked down the empty corridor following this guy with hardly any hair and what he had left of it was silver, he even had a silver moustache which was disgusting to say the least. He stank of after shave and was wearing a suit that looked like it was meant for weddings and special occasions like the ones Gareth wears. He stopped at a door and I stood the other side of it putting one foot on the wall looking straight ahead not looking at the door, well that's what he would be thinking. Thanks to my sunglasses I could look out of the corner of my eye at everyone and they would think I wasn't looking haha Max 1 – school going saps 0.

The head went in first then motioned me to come in with him, my guitar still dangling around my neck bounced off of my leg every time I took a step. I could feel their eyes staring at me, seeing the money and the fame rather than me.

"Take off the glasses please" He asked I was so wanting to back chat and say no but I thought first impressions are everything so I did as I was asked and pushed my glasses up into my head and flicked my long blondey brown hair out of my face and looked around the class. I tried not to look bored as I looked at all the faces staring at me I saw that lad again! He was in the same form as me? Whoop this day could be a lot better than had first thought!

"Hello Max. I can call you Max or do you prefer your full name?" Asked the red head teacher that hardly looked old enough to be a teacher

"Max'll do fine" I shrugged turning to the teacher, then I heard a few gasps and whispers so I turned my attention back to the class again well the lad.

"Well... hmm I think Nick! You can show Max around can't you?" She said looking to the back, I was expecting the guy in the corner with large glasses on – the only thought going through my mind was should've gone to spec savers – but the lad stood up, his mate tapping his hand and whispering something to him, Nick shook his head starting down the row of kids. Oh no he isn't gay is he? No that fan said he needed a girlfriend or did she mean a mate that was a girl? No he was holding hands with that other girl! God I'm confused now!

"Thank you Nick" She smiled as he walked towards me, he smiled and I could feel my face heating up again and he smiled again at me probably seeing my face turn red like the teachers hair "Just one thing before you two go, can you play us a song please?" I rolled my eyes

Fang P.O.V

The head walked in and we could all plainly see the superstar leaning up against the wall not even looking into the room acting as if she didn't care. She was wearing very short shorts which made her ass look attractive as I realised me and the rest of the other guys in the class were staring too. The head motioned to her to come in and she pushed the door open effortlessly, everyone knows that door is the hardest to open in the whole school, her guitar bouncing against her leg every time she took a step. She was looking stunning, as well as her shorts she was wearing a tight blue t-shirt with a black tie printed on it. The head told her to take her glasses off, we were all expecting her to back chat and just ignore him but she surprised us all by pushing them up her head so that her hair got pushed back too. She looked around the class and her eyes settled on me. I tried to look cool but inside I was shocked while jumping up and down punching the air in my head.

"Hello Max. I can call you Max or do you prefer your full name?" Asked Brigid making Max turn her attention to her

"Max'll do fine" She shrugged, while the class started whispering she looked back at us making them shut up but her eyes found me again and I looked straight at her.

"Well... hmm I think Nick! You can show Max around can't you?" She asked looking at me, I practically jumped up but I tried to make it look like I wasn't that eager so I tried to slow it down. Paul tapped my hand and whispered

"Told you, you were the one going to get it" He almost burst out laughing; I just shook my head and started walking towards her.

"Thank you Nick" Brigid smiled as I walked towards her, I smiled at her and I could she her face turn red like Brigid's hair "Just one thing before you two go, can you play us a song please?" Max was still looking at me as I walked towards her.

Max P.O.V

"Sure which one?" I asked taking my eyes off of Nick and onto my guitar. God he knew how to look good in black.

"Oh umm... anyone got any preferences?" She asked the class and hands shot up into the air; she picked a girl on the front.

"Ummm... Get over it? Please" She asked nervously, I nodded and got my fingers onto the right chords

"Might not sound as good without the other band instruments but hey here goes.

Slipping down a slide
I did enjoy the ride
Don't know what to decide
You lied to me
You looked me in the eye
It took me by surprise
Now are you gratified
You cried to me

La, la, la, la, la

Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of your face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad
It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it

When I was feeling down
You'd start to hang around
And then I found your hands all over me
And that was out of bounds
You filthy rotten hound
It's badder than it sounds, believe me

La, la, la, la, la

Hey, you gotta get over it
Hey, you gotta get over it

It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it

Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of your face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad

You'll have to get over it"

I finished and the class clapped and cheered, I nodded and thanked them before turning to Nick and he smiled at me, and led me out of the room.

"Wow you sound better when you're not on the TV" He said once we were out of the room

"Cheers" I answered "Uh... Nick? Is it?" seriously I had forgotten his name even though that fan had told me

"Call me Fang"

"Why?" I asked smirking

"'Cause I like the colour black" He shrugged I instantly liked him, he was cool with the fact I'm famous and not staring at me all the time.

"So... Fang you gotta girlfriend?" I asked hopefully not sounding desperate; he shot me a look and smiled

"Unfortunately. Why?"

"God just making conversation, just because I'm famous doesn't mean I'm easy" I replied knowing that's what most think. He smiled at me and shook his head

"What?" I asked pushing him slightly laughing

"Nothing" He replied pushing me back slightly, I stood there my mouth open and my hands on my hips, trying to keep a straight face but I burst out laughing at him staring at me trying to do the same but had folded his arms instead. Something then clicked inside me, his dark eyes, his cute face and cool laugh that I loved this guy.

"So come on I'm not bothered with seeing this school" I said waving my arms indicating the different classrooms looking up at him and he instantly looked nervous "What did I say about not being easy? If anything I'm hard to get! I mean tell me about you. You are the only person here that doesn't seem to be bothered about my cash and stuff. Unless you're good at hiding it." I said looking at him narrowing my eyes

"Well my step-mum is our form tutor"

"No way! I thought she was that red heads mum or somat!"

"The red head? Oh Lissa, my girlfriend" He sighed

"Not going well?"

"You could say that"

"Sorry about that, why don't you just ditch her? Clearly you're not happy with her"

"Dunno don't like the fact I'd be on my own"

"You won't be" I said quietly

"Huh?"

"Well you'll have mates and stuff." I shrugged

"You got a boy friend?"

"I did... but... he's history now." I replied staring down at the floor, I felt something go around my shoulders I looked to see what it was and Fang was there, I smiled.

"Are you sure you wanna get to know me properly?" I asked looking at him now taking his arm off of me

"Why?"

"Well let's just say most only like me for my money not for me, so I can be a bit wary about who I know and I can be a bit of a drama queen, and I can ramble on a bit about stuff I've done and stuff" I replied

"It's all right; I suppose I would be too"

"And they always go, oh play us another song, and go on just one more. I hate that" I said tapping my guitar.

"Oh this is the music room" Said Fang opening the door into a massive, almost hall-like room. Instruments were all over the place, there were drum kits in one corner, guitars in another, mic's in one and a giant piano in the last. My mouth opened and closed as I wandered into the middle of my music heaven, there were speakers lining most of the walls. I span around taking it all in knowing I'd probably spend most of my time in here. There were even seats in the windows, it was almost perfect.

"Oh. My. God" I breathed running my finger over the piano keys "Can I play it?" I asked excitedly

"Yeah sure" Fang said leaning on it, and I sat down in front of it and put my fingers on the keys and started playing I just had to sing along.

"Waking up I see that everything is ok
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great

I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliance
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by

I found a place so safe, not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
Feel calm, I belong, I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere

I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliance
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it

It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
This innocence is brilliance
Makes you wanna cry
This innocence is brilliance
Please don't go away
Cos I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by

This innocence is brilliance
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it"

I finished and, I smiled and coughed.

"You're a beautiful singer" Fang clapped

"Thanks. Sorry from the gig yesterday, would've stayed on stage longer is my mum hadn't made me leave quickly..." I sighed tapping a few keys nodding taking in the sound

"Thinking of new song?"

"Yeah..." I almost whispered closing my eyes

"Cool. What do you play?"

"Piano, guitar, drums and obviously vocals" I answered

Fang P.O.V

Maximum Ride was practically the perfect girl, for anyone. She was good looking, funny, very musical and did I say attractive? No bad Fang you have a girl friend can't start looking for another when you barely know her. I didn't realise while I was thinking this I was staring at her, as I blinked a couple of times and opened my mouth to say sorry Max cut in.

"Don't need to say sorry I'm used to it. People only seeing the outside rather than seeing me" She smiled weakly? What? This is Maximum Ride she isn't weak if anything she'll do anything to get her way, she has the money to do it.

"Sorry –"

"FANG!" I rolled my eyes and cue Lissa. Jealous Lissa.

"What?" I shouted back keeping my back to the door

"God she sounds happy" Commented Max looking up at me

"Yeah" I replied turning to see a fuming Lissa stood at the door her arms folded

"What do you think you are doing with my boy friend?" She practically screamed in Max's face, but Max just looked at her looking as if she was going to burst out laughing.

"Uh... talking, getting to know each other." She answered, no one had ever answered Lissa directly they usually stammered and ran off.

"What?" She said looking confused at Max

"What's to be confused about, we were talking. And you do realise who I am"

"Uh... Max?"

"That's Maximum Ride to you." She said getting up with her guitar leaving Lissa there astounded that someone had stood up to her. She walked towards the door and stopped in the door way, lowered her head. I could see a smile stretched arcos her face and she turned around.

"You know you really need to stop thinking you're so amazing 'cause guess what you ain't." And then she left

"Oh well done Lissa" I said sarcastically following where Max had left. I walked through the door and she was stood further down the hall playing her guitar with a crowd around her. I was taller than most there so I could see her clearly. She was leant up against the wall one foot on the wall her guitar rested on her leg.

"Alright guys that's it, come on go now" Shouted one of her sisters moving the crowds away that were moaning. Max hadn't seen me yet and I leant up against the wall next to her, she still didn't know but she was wearing her glasses so she could have been looking at me I couldn't tell. Her cheeks went red again and I looked around the empty corridor, no one was there. Can't have been me could it? Nah she's probably remembering someone else, it's not me. Can't be.

"You know I don't like Lissa"

"Yeah?"

"Just dump her already"

"Huh?"

"To make you happy, but got one piece of advice for yah, I'm a crap at relationship advice. And you're better off not knowing me" She said and walked off

"But... Max! How do you know I'm better off not knowing you?" I ran after her, god I'm stupid, she's a girl, why are you running after her? She turned around; she had pushed her glasses up her head so it had scraped her hair back. She turned and looked up at me

"What? I've seen it, you'll get caught up in the money and the cameras and completely forget about me. Me who I am, the person" She argued pointing at herself; I shook my head and looked at her. I held out my hand to her, she looked confused.

"Shake it" I said

"Why?" she asked shaking it

"Mates do that" I said and she smiled, she hugged me her hair whipping around my face - which I was not expecting.

"Thank you" She whispered

"It's ok" I replied letting go of her as we set off back to the form room, we decided to give up showing her around and just find out which classes she would be in. Which meant going back to form.

"Oh you two are back quickly?" Said Brigid

"Yeah clearly" Replied Max making Brigid smile fade

"Right... You can either sit next to Fang or at the front"

"Uh I think I'll go next to Fang" She replied, again with the imagining of punching the air.
