I watched him pass the ball to me. He was everything I wanted in a guy. He used to like me. I don't know about now. I hope so...

*flashback*

My best friend Nudge paws running toward me. "Max! Fang likes you!"

"What?!"

"Yeah I know! I told him that if I told him who I liked he would have to tell me who he liked! I told him I liked Iggy and he told me he liked you! OMG Max! Your baby's wings would be such a pretty color! Like the color of my shirt! Ooh yeah now I remember I need to get those new shoes at Forever twen-" I slapped my hand over her mouth.

" Nudge if you say anymore the while world will know! Zip it!"

I felt so full of hope inside. Maybe I should tell him I liked him too...

*end flashback*

"Max are you okay?" Fang was looking at me with a concerned look on his face. I blinked a couple of times.

"Yeah sorry thinking about the new song I'm gonna sing" I lied.

"Mhm sure."

I sighed.

After a couple of hours, we split up and went home. I texted my friend Angel.

ONE MORE HINT.

Nope.

DUDE IS IT ME?

Sure.

My heart skipped a beat. Sarcasm or not? I put my phone away for now. I emailed Fang.

(MAXfang)

WHO DO U LIKE? ANGE WON'T TELL ME :(

goodnight

I stared at the screen. Seriously? Goodnight? I felt happy as I went to bed.

I woke up feeling refreshed. I got up and got ready for school. I slipped on some ripped skinny jeans and a blue panda t-shirt. I grabbed my backpack, slipped on my neon blue nikes, and walked out.

It was a normal day of school. Our teacher, Mr. Smith, was as boring as ever. I went to Nudge's house for the ret of today.

We were eating dinner when I told Nudge I knew who Fang liked. I wouldn't tell her for some reason. I kept screaming at myself for me to tell her but I couldn't. She got pretty mad at me...

She went to play minecraft on the computer. I snuck her phone which she had been using for the past hour. I checked her messages. I gasped in horror.
