"You can't avoid me forever, Max." Those words echoed through my head all day. I was so embarrassed, and if any of the other flock members found out what happened, I would absolutely DIE!
It was 7' o clock, and we just finished a very... erm.. awkward dinner. I hardly looked up from my plate the whole time. Also, I would shovel food into my mouth so that no one would ask me to talk. I was in my room, working on a very easy project about cells, when Nudge walked in.
"I have a question Max." She announced, and didn't even give me time to ask what before she started babbling, "For health we are learning about dating and couples and stuff and I have to make a timeline for a couple of what to do. So can you help me? I mean I know I just want help."
I nibbled on my lip. "Um, sure. I can help." I sat up in my desk chair and started, "Well, it should start off as friends. And then a date. And maybe holding hands on the first date. And maybe, just maybe, at the end of the first date a little peck on the lips. Then after a month or two of dating, you can make out. And then, when you are the right age and are completely in love, you can get married. And after that, when you ar ready, you can have," I gulped and spat out the word, "sex or have children." She smiled eagerly and ran out of the room. After she was gone for a few moments, I heard a voice behind me. I turned, and Fang was on my bed. He obviously just turned off his invisibility. He said, "Liar." I gaped at him and put my hands on my hips.
"What do you mean, liar?" I aksed.
"You don't believe any of that stuff you just told Nudge. I mean, we skipped from step 1 to the end in a matter of an hour, and skipped all that gush in the middle." I felt the redness rise into my cheeks.
"That is so not true. I was drunk, Fang! That wasn't me making out with you! I would have been responsible... would have done what I just said to Nudge!" I insisted.
He shot me a glance and walked out of the room.
Ugh.
That night, Angel came into my room wearing a cute little dress. "Max..." She started.
I looked up from my paper, "Yes, sweetie?"
She looked down and blushed a little bit. "Can we go to the movies?"
I was confused. "Uh, sure."
She smiled, but then it faded. "But there are no good movies out."
I thought, and a movie I have been wanting to see forever popped into my head. "How about The Fighter?"
She looked sad. "That's rated PG13. But it's okay, you and Fang will just go by yourselves."
Now I understand. Fang put her up to this. He wnated a date, so he got her to ask me. I smiled. How sweet. "Okay. Fine. Tell Fang that I will be downstairs in 10 minutes and he is driving."
I wanted to look good, but not too good. I slipped on a black shirt and a jean jacket to cover my wings. It matched perfectly with my dark skinny jeans.
I walked downstairs, and Fang blushed when he saw me. He mumbled, "Sorry the rest of the flock couldn't make it." Haha. Like he didn't plan that. We slid into the car and drove to the nearest theater. I was so excited. I have wanted to see this movie for weeks!
We stepped into the dark theater with extra buttery popcorn(extra large, of course!) and the movie started. It was pretty funny. Since we were real fighters, we laughed when everyone gasped. We yawned when people said, "Eww." And we whispered the whole time about how he should have kicked him there, or punched him here, or whatever.We walked out, best friends again, like there was nothing between us. Well, we were on a date, at the movies, but we pretended the party incident never happened. We were halfway to the car when I realized we were holding hands! Holding hands! Shivers ran down my back and I smiled. We kept talking about the dumb movie.
When we pulled up to the house and walked to the door, Fang stopped. He leaned in and softly yet quickly, gave me a peck on my lips. He smiled one of those rare 100 watt smiles. Just like what I told Nudge.
I fell asleep feeling warm and happy, but this time Fang was definitely not next to me. He was in his room, and I was in mine, and maybe one day we will sleep together again, but definitely not soon.
I just hope he doesn't post anything on the blog.
