Today I woke up around eight-thirty, feeling nervous about today, but not really knowing why. I decided I better hurry and get ready to go. After I had a relaxing shower, I went and put my bathing suit, a purple two-piece with blue polka-dots, and then put on some knee high blue jeans and a blue spaghetti-strap shirt. When I was done putting my hair in a loose bun, I went to the kitchen to grab some breakfast and talk to Ella for a little while and spent the rest of the morning watching T.V. as I waited for ten o'clock to get here. Since I learned Fang lived a little more than a block from my house I figured I should walk there instead of my mother driving me there. Around ten, I grabbed my towel and sun block. I said my goodbyes and took off toward Fang's I got to his house I was amazed. It was a light tan two story house with beautiful flowers growing around the house. I followed the rock path to the front door and knocked on the door. A couple seconds later I was greeted by a woman with black hair and blues eyes. "Hi you must be Max; they have told me a lot about you. Oh, and my name is Kate; I'm Fang's mom.""Nice to meet you, Kate, and I hope what they said about me were nice things," I said."There were very nice things. Well, come on in and have a seat; Fang should be down in a sec and if he is not, come get me and I will drag his butt down here," Kate laughed."That would be a funny sight. Thank you." I chuckled and sat down to wait for disappeared into the kitchen, saying she had to check on something and left me alone to wait for Fang to come down. After a few minutes of waiting, Fang finally came down in a black shirt and dark blue swim trunks."Hi, Max, are you the first one here?" Fang asked."Yep, what do you want to do until they arrive?" I asked."Want to go outside?" Fang questioned."Sure," I said as Fang walked outside to the patio. I looked around and noticed a male beside the grill."Is that your father?" I asked Fang."Yep, his name is Peter," Fang said, then called, "Hey Dad, this is my new friend, Max.""Hi Max, nice to meet you," Peter replied while turning back to his grill."He doesn't talk much," Fang whispered. I nodded and walked over to the pool. I stuck my feet in and Fang did the same."You know I have a pool, but I haven't been in it yet, although we have yet to put water in it, so that might be the reason!" I laughed."Yeah that's the reason 'cause I don't think it will do any good to play in a pool with no water in it." Fang said with a chuckle. "So do you usually have this kind of party?" I asked."Yeah, but most the time we don't cook; we usually order pizza or something," Fang said."Oh. This is my first time going to a party," I said."Really? Didn't you have other friends in Alabama?" Fang asked."Yes, but they weren't the party type," I replied."How many friends did you have?" Fang pondered."Well I had three friends but they were not the fun type. We kept to ourselves, not doing anything," I replied."Oh, you don't seem the lonely type," Fang said."What do you mean?" I asked him, confused. I had friends, so I was not lonely."All I meant was that you look like you would have at least ten friends and party, or something." Fang said."Oh, I don't socialize well with people," I said."Well that explains a lot," Fang said with a smirk."What's that supposed to mean?" I glared"Nothing.""Yeah, right, so do you have any friends other than Gazzy, Nudge, and Iggy?" I asked, wondering if it was just them."Yes, but I'm like you; I don't like other people that much," Fang said."Ah, that explains why you stay in the shadows," I was a knock on the door. Just then Nudge, Iggy, and Gazzy came running through the door. "Did we miss anything?" asked Nudge."Nope," Fang and I said in unison."Good, well, I'm ready to swim, so who's ready to swim!" Nudge yelled. Everyone one yelled "me!" and took off their separate ways to get ready.I was told to follow Nudge to get ready in the guest bathroom. Nudge got done before me and shot out the bathroom. I soon followed her after making sure I got all my clothes together and on the bathroom counter, my sun block on, and towel in hand, then I headed to the pool to see were everyone was and I found them all in the pool. I went and put my towel with the others, then went over to the pool, ran and jumped into the water splashing Fang in the process."Hey," he yelled and splashed me back. I went to splash him but missed him and hit Iggy instead."Oops," was all I could say before Iggy hit me with water and that got everyone stirred up and we got in a huge water fight. Fang and I teamed up against the others. We began to lose but I hit Iggy in the eye and he stopped splashing, which gave Fang and me an advantage so we were in the lead and they finally yelled for us stop. When we all stopped laughing and calmed down from our water fight we decided to have a water race: Fang got first, Nudge got second, I got third, Iggy got fourth, and Gazzy got last we got our breath back from the water race it was time to eat. So after we dried off and laid our towels down to sit on, we ate. I must admit, it was a pretty good meal. When I was full, I threw my plate away and waited for the others to get done. Then like Nudge said, we had to wait after we were done eating to go back to swimming for a little while. We had another race and a small water fight, and then we just messed around with each other Not like that you bad minded people. Then we all got out 'cause we were tired so we got dried off and went inside to change. Then we voted to watch movies for the rest of the day. So after two movies it was around six so I got up and said, "Well my mom wants me home, so I have to get going. So… bye.""Bye," they said and Fang got up and walked me to the door."Guess I'll see you Monday at school?" I asked Fang."Yep. Oh, also, we're having a sleep over in two weeks. Want to come?" Fang said."Yeah, that sounds cool. I'll ask my mom about it," I said."Okay, I'll see you at school Monday," Fang said."Yep, bye, Fang," I said."Bye, Max," Fang said then I walked away.
