"You were great on the piano, now let me show you a little something."

He was outstanding. He really was. I was mesmerized by how his fingers so intricately played with the chords and the strings. The tune was enchanting; it made me feel like I was floating on the clouds atop the Caribbean's. It made me want to sleep a peaceful dream.

…Yeah, it was that good.

As the song came to a close, he looked up at me and just stared. I was so caught up in the moment it took me a second to gather my thoughts because the only coherent one I had was WOW.

"What song is that? It's amazing." I had to stop myself from saying you're amazing because that might've made things just a tad bit awkward.

He reached his hand up to rake through his hair. He seemed a little uncomfortable. He was looking down when he quietly said, "Well…I kind of wrote it."

I couldn't even believe what I was hearing. I shifted my entire body so that I was sitting down facing him.

"That is seriously amazing you know," I said as I waited for him to look me dead in the eye.

"Thanks," he sincerely said as he eventually looked at me.

I looked around, but there was nobody in sight. It was then that I realized just how dumb I was. I mean seriously, it's completely dark out, there's nobody around, and I'm sitting outside talking to a complete stranger. What is wrong with me?

I mean, I knew it was dumb, but for some odd reason, I didn't feel scared at all. Quite the opposite really. I felt more comfortable than ever.

It was getting pretty late however. I started to get up. "So, as much fun as this has been, I really should be getting home."

He followed suit by getting up too. "So you lead the way." He must've noticed the weird look I gave him, because he quickly reciprocated. "Don't worry, I'm not a stalker. But think about it. Something could just pop out of the woods and attack you." He smirked, "Plus, you're a girl."

I smacked him. In the shoulder. REALLY hard. He deserved it.

He laughed as he followed me down the street.

About a block from my house however, I got this feeling. I got this creepy feeling that made me start to sweat, and got me paranoid…

It was that feeling that you get when you know someone's watching you.

…Or when you're being followed.

I looked around me, but there was absolutely no sign of anyone or thing. Okay, calm down Max, I thought. You're just overreacting.

Fang looked me over with a worried look on his face. "Are you okay Max?" He kept his eyes trained on me as I looked anywhere but directly at his face.

"No, I'm good. I just…thought I heard a…coyote…or something…" I basically sounded like a five year old.

He stepped right in front of me, causing me to stop dead in my tracks. "You're a horrific liar you know."

I was frustrated with this kid. Would he ever just drop it? "I feel like we're being followed, okay!" I just spat it out and kept walking. I stopped however when I realized no one was right beside me. I turned around, and found Fang staring at me with his head tilted to the side.

"Why are you paranoid?" he asked. I could almost see the thoughts swirling around in his head, trying to piece things together.

"I'm not," I said with as much conviction that I could muster up.

He walked towards me, and didn't stop until he was right in front of me. His head was still cocked to the side, and he looked concerned, "Are you scared of me?"

"What? No." It was the most absurd thought, and clearly he saw that because he immediately relaxed.

He smiled, "Good."

My house was a few houses down. When we got to it, Fang smiled and said, "I should've known you live here. You know, there's this trail that leads from your backyard to mine. It just takes a minute to walk through."

Well that was good news. "Awesome! Well, come on." We walked into my backyard. I knew it was time to say goodbye, but I just didn't know how proceedings like this worked. And he just stood there, being absolutely no help whatsoever.

"Well, I guess I'll see you in P.E. on Monday," he finally ended up saying.

"Yeah, I'll race you."

He laughed, "Good luck with that." And with that, he turned around and walked away. Just as he was about to duck through the trees and into the night, he turned back around and called out, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight," I whispered into nothing but the darkness.

FANG'S POV

On my way back to my house, I couldn't stop thinking about Max. She was unlike anyone I'd ever known. My thoughts were cut short however when I heard an unnatural rustling of the leaves. I would've just pegged it off as an animal or the wind or something if…

If I didn't have the feeling that someone was watching me.

…Okay, so this chapter is really short because I cut it off. There was more, but I decided I wanted a cliffe, so don't hate me. Oh, and SOOO, what do you think of the suspense that has been added? And also, I know that I have no reason to be mad or anything. But honestly, I only got three reviews last chapter. It just makes me upset because I know that SO MANY MORE people read this story, and only three people reviewed. It makes me feel as if this story is a failure. I prolonged putting this chapter out because I thought, 'maybe someone else will review', but everyday I checked my email, and there was nothing new :( I don't want to be like, 'I won't update until I get BLAH many of reviews'. But how about this; if I feel happy with the reviews that I get, there will be Fax in the next chapter. The chapter's already done, but I'll be happy to add Fax a little earlier than planned ;) THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE REVIEWED MY STORY THOUGH. I appreciate it SO much.

Random fact: I had this dream the other night that I met Enrique Iglesias. It was really cool! Any of you guys have a random fact you want to share?
