Imagine discaimer here-
Chapter 5- Max
The last two days have been spent hanging out with the Martinez's. We have played video games, and done a lot of other stuff. We are all really good friends now.
And today is New Years Eve. So we are going to spend the night at the Martinez's and watch the ball drop. Angel, Gazzy and I have no idea what that means but the other kids are really excited so we are too.
I am playing Black Ops with Fang when Angel, Ella, and Nudge run into the room and stand in front of us. Fang quickly pauses the game and we both look at them. They are all wearing makeup.
"Come on, Max. It's your turn." They say, pulling on my arm. When Angel gives me Bambi eyes I try to look away but I know it won't work.
"Fine," I tell them. They all jump up and down, squealing.
They lead me up to the room that Nudge and Ella share. And let me tell you I think I just got blinded. Is it possible to die form pink-overdose. Everything is pink!
They sit me down in front of a huge vanity mirror and turn the chair so I can't see what they do to me. "Now close your eyes, don't open them till we tell you to." Nudge says.
"Fine," I say, closing my eyes. "But why do I need to get made-up for this?" I ask.
"Because it's fun," Ella says with enthusiasm.
I internally roll my eyes and listen to what they say as they, 'put my face on' as your moms mom would say.
"No, that color doesn't match her completion."
"That is a really nice color but this one will do better."
"This one will go perfect!"
"There you go, Max. We're done.," Angel says and I sigh before opening my eyes and turning the chair so I can see myself.
My eyes go wide. I have on black eyeliner with a smokey eye. They put a dab of blush on and some how got some lip stain on me without me noticing. My hair is still down but they straightened out my waves. "I look..." I trail off, not knowing what to say.
"Amazing, beautiful, drool-worthy?" Ella says.
"I was gonna say like a girl but okay." I say. Not wanting to start a fight. I must say I do look good. And maybe they can give me some tips for when I need to use cover up. Jeb hasn't figured out yet that bruises on the face raise questions.
"You look gorgeous, Max." Angel tells me.
"You do too sweetie."I turn to Nudge and Ella. "So why are we doing this?" I ask.
"Beeeeeeecauuuuuuuuse." Nudge draws out. "It is New Years Eve and we have to celebrate. It's already almost ten and the show will come on soon. They have all of the singers come and perform. It will be so cool. Come on." She starts to drag me down the stairs.
When we enter the living room Nudge walks up to the TV and changes it to the show.
"Hey!" Fang says. Nudge walks back to Ella, Angel, and I.
"Sorry, Fang, but the show starts in five and we need to make sure we don't miss it. We also need popcorn and candy. What do we have. Do we have sour gummies? Or Twizzlers? What about M's? We can't have popcorn with out M's! Or do you want-" She is cut off when Iggy walks in and slaps his hand over her mouth.
"We get it, Nudge." He says calmly. "So what candy do you guys want? And how do you want your popcorn?"
"Nudge and I like ours with no butter or salt." Ella pipes in.
"Angel and I like ours with a lot of butter and salt." Gazzy says.
"I do too." Iggy says, then looks over at Fang and I. "What about you Max?"
"I like lots of butter, no salt." I tell him. Iggy looks over at Fang.
"Same," he says and gives a simple bob of the head.
Iggy nods, going over the different popcorn's in his head. As soon as he disappears he pops back up. "What about candy? Can I just grab it all and you guys take what you want?" We all nod and he disappears quickly.
"So what do you guys think of our makeup guys?" Nudge ask. Though I don't see why she thinks they would know anything about makeup. I barley do. And I'm a girl. I back up into the shadow, hoping to not get noticed.
"It's okay I guess." Gazzy says, looking at all of our faces. He luckily isn't to the girl-liking phase yet.
Fang just shrugs.
"What about Max?" Ella ask. She looks over her shoulder where I was. Then she looks to the corner of the room where I am now. "Max! Come show them!" She says. When I stay where I am she walks over and pulls me into the light.
Fangs eyes widen and he looks like he's about to say something when Iggy walks in with arm fulls of popcorn. He bumps into the side table and scowls. He sits the popcorn down before asking.
"Who moved the table?"
"Nudge gives a small, nervous laugh. "Sorry Iggy. It just looked so empty." He frowns.
"You do realize I'm blind." Iggy says.
"Then act like it," Nudge says back. (I know Max says that in the book but this is where they find out..)
Gazzy perks up. "I didn't know you're blind. None of us did." He says, a little shot down that he didn't tell him.
"Sorry, it just never seemed that important." Iggy tells him.
"Didn't seem important?" I ask, shocked.
"Yeah, sorry." Iggy says quietly. I'll go get the candy?" He says before walking off to get the candy.
Nudge flips the channel to the show and we all sit down. We all sit next to the people that like the same popcorn we do. Fang and I get stuck in this big chair together.
Iggy comes back in and sits the candy down. "Take what you want. Just remember it is all we have. Where am I sitting?"
"With us." Gazzy tells him and scoots over so Iggy has room.
I get up and grab Sweet Tarts. Looking back at Fang I ask. "What do you want?"
"Twizzlers." Fang tells me. I pick up a bag and squeeze back into the chair. Once I am good I hand him the Twizzlers and grab a handful of popcorn.
We watch as the news people come on the screen and introduce people. It's not long till they have singers performing on stage. We watch as each singer gets on stage and sings their number one before saying touching words and the next person go on.
I swear I am going to die is Ella and Nudge swoon at Justin Bieber one more time. I block my ears and wait for the next artist. Much better.
It is 11:55 and everyone is getting ready for the countdown to start. "Wait! We need to share our New Years Revolutions!" Nudge shouts.
"Oh yeah! Who wants to go first?" Ella ask.
"I will." Iggy says. "My New Years Revolution is to set off as many bombs as possible." He says and high fives with Gazzy.
"My New Years Revolution is to go to a concert." Ella says.
"My New Years Revolution is to get good grades." Nudge says.
"My New Years Revolution is to help Iggy with his New Years Revolution." Gazzy says before high five-ing with Iggy again.
"My New Years Revolution is to..." I trail off. Not knowing what to say. I can't say what I want to without saying "Hey look! I get beat all the time and do fights!" Yeah no. "Is to kick some butt." Angel and Gazzy nod in the darkness. Knowing what I mean.
"My New Years Revolution," Angel starts. "Is to have fun with all my new friends." I nod. Angel, Gazzy and I have friends for the first time in our lives. It is important for her to have good friends. I don't want her to end up like me.
"Hey look. Their doing the count down!" Ella yells. We all watch the ball descend lower.
Ten. My
Nine. New
Eight. Years
Seven. Revolution
Six. is
Five. to
Four. be
Three. strong
Two. for
One. Them.
The ball hits the ground and we all cheer. I eat a handful of popcorn and come Sweet Tarts.
"Lets go to bed guys. It's a new year and we need to celebrate with some sleep." Iggy says. We all nod and lay down in our sleeping bags. Angel is on one side of me and Gazzy on the other. Now all I need to do is keep it this way.
So what do ye think? Am i gonna live or die?
I am going to start doing some in Fangs POV but I need enough people saying you want Fangs POV before i write it.
I have a poll on my page. "Who is the 'guy behind the counter'?" answer on the poll. You have until it is brought back up in the book. So vote fast. If you answer on the poll tell me. I want to know!
Thats all for now. I hope you liked the chappie. Tell me if you did. R&R. Y'all have done this long enought to know there is no double meaning allowed.
