HI GUYS THIS IS THE NEXT CHAPTER!
:)
I HOPE YOU LIKE IT
AND...I'm so sorry! I did it again. OK. DEEP BREATH. ANIKA, NOT ANGEL, ANIKA, NOT ANGEL. I just love Angel so much I can't just push her out of the story! :P Forgive me.
The next day, Nudge did my make-up and chose my outfit. I threw a fit, but in the end, Nudge threatened me by saying she would take away all of my cookies if I didn't allow her. My outfit was simple-turquoise tank top, see-through shirt over it, navy blue converse, and torn-up skinny jeans.
Nudge was super excited about the sleepover. During breakfast, Nudge and Anika talked on and on about what they would do. For some reason, they were convinced that Jackson had a crush on Alex, and that Fang had a crush on me. Who in their right mind would have thought that?
After another boring school day and turning in tons of homework from the day before, the hour before the sleepover came.
Nudge and I packed all of our things. I borrowed a sleeping bag from Nudge and brought my pillow. Since it was Friday, I wasn't worried about my homework load.
We walked over to Alex's dorm. She invited us in, already dressed in her PJ's. Nudge and I still wore our school outfits.
"Hey, Nudge, Max. Anika's already here. I invited Kate and Star and Maya. Maya is Dylan's girlfriend, "Alex said, gesturing to the girls behind her.
Kate had almond shaped brown eyes and long black hair. She was pretty, and she looked really nice. Star had blue eyes, a smirk, and blond hair. Maya had blondish brown hair and gray eyes. She sort of looked like me, except she was shorter, and she seemed to love the color gold A LOT. Her Kate Spade handbag and luggage were black and gold, her PJ's were gold, her flip flops were gold, her cell phone case was gold, and her sleeping bag was gold.
"Hi, I'm Max,"I said, smiling. Maya smiled at me and pulled me into a hug. Kate hugged me, too, and Star shook my hand like a normal person.
"So, "Alex said, plopping down lazily in front of the TV with a tub of popcorn, "What are we watching first?"
"Um...Despicable Me 2!"Nudge suggested.
Maya shrugged. "Can we watch Haunting at Silver Falls? "Star asked, grinning. Anika's nose wrinkled. "Uh...I don't really want to watch a horror movie, "she said.
"Yes! "I said, grinning.
"OK, so after a movie, let's do...make-overs and Never Have I Ever at the same time, "Alex suggested.
We decided to watch Despicable Me 2. I thought it was a little cheesy and worse than the first Despicable Me, but I still liked it.
We ate popcorn the whole time, and Nudge ranted on about how Agnes didn't have a mom. Yeah, I felt bad for Agnes, too.
Then we did make-overs. "OK, I'll start! "Kate said, smiling. She was doing my make-up. She was so nice I just couldn't turn down her offer. Alex cranked up the music on her iPod and placed it on her i Home. 'Wild Ones' blasted out. All of us sang along, caught in the moment.
"Never have I ever...bought a Louis Vuitton bag for 3000 dollars, "she said.
Nudge sheepishly put her finger down, and so did Star. My jaw dropped. "You guys are serious?" Nudge nodded, and Star smiled.
"Never have I ever gotten super drunk that I couldn't even stand at a party, "Star said.
Alex, Anika, and I put our fingers down. In truth, getting drunk at J.J.'s parties was a must, and I was ALWAYS invited to her parties.
The song Good Time by Owl City played. It was one of my favorite songs.
"Never have I ever pranked a teacher, "Kate said. I shook my head, grinning as she applied more stuff on my face. "We seriously have to change that, "I said.
Alex, Nudge, Star, Maya, and I put our fingers down.
"Really? Nudge? "I asked, surprised.
She replied, "Iggy and Gazzy."
That definitely explained everything.
"That makes sense, "I said. She nodded, sighing.
"Never have I ever missed an episode of Project Runway, "Nudge said. Everyone but Kate put their fingers down. I didn't even watch Project Runway!
Kate and Nudge chattered about the latest episode.
After a round of Never Have I Ever, we played truth of dare.
"Truth of Dare, Max?"Alex asked me.
"Dare, "I replied with a smirk.
"I dare you to ask that guy Sam in your Chemistry class out, "she said.
I shrugged, not caring. I hoped he said no.
"Um...truth or dare, Maya?"I asked.
"Uh, truth."
"Huh...how was your first date with Dylan?"
"Well. We went to the movies and then a restaurant. He was really sweet, so that's why I'm still with him. But...he sorta acts like a moron sometimes."
I nodded.
The game continued.
"Truth or dare, Max?"Anika asked.
"Dare, "I replied.
"I dare you to tell us if you have a crush on Fang, "she said. I shook my head, hoping a blush wasn't on my cheeks just from the mention of me liking Fang. "Uh, no! Of course not, I mean, how could you even think that? "I asked.
Anika shrugged as she exchanged a knowing look with Nudge. "Ugh..."I groaned, glaring at them.
Nudge turned to Alex. "Please, take away your previous dare and make her ask out Fang!"
I shook my head. "No! What's done is done."
Nudge started to protest, but Kate agreed sadly. "Yeah, it wouldn't be fair to Max."
I grinned. "See!"
Alex sighed. "Oh, well."
Silence surrounded us. We heard people outside, whispering very loudly to each other.
"I can't believe it!"
"Shut up! They'll hear us if we aren't quiet!"
"OH MY GOD. MAX LIKES FANG MAX LIKES FANG MAX LIKES FANG."
"Should I ask her out?"
Alex and Anika slammed open the door, glaring down at the boys.
Iggy, Fang, and Jackson sat, arguing among themselves.
"Seriously? Way to crash a party, "Maya commented, her arms crossed.
"Nudge, truth or dare? "I asked.
"Truth! "she said, smiling.
"Are you going to tell everyone you have a crush on Iggy?"I ask.
All eyes turn to Nudge. I guessed this, and it was probably true since Nudge started blushing a lot.
Her eyes turned to me, and she looked she was going to cry. Guilt rushed through me. "Nudge, I'm-"
She rushed out of the room. Iggy and I shared a look before running out after her.
"Are you sure she does? "Iggy asks. I shrugged. "It was a guess. But did you see that reaction?"
Iggy plucked a flower from a vase in the hallway and continued following me through the building in search of Nudge. We stopped at the end of the staircase, panting.
"Where is she? "I asked. Iggy shrugged. We heard a loud sniffle and a bang, then a curse. Iggy and I opened the storage closet to reveal Nudge.
"Nudge, I am so sorry. I didn't know it was actually true! I didn't think, Nudge. I was being an idiot like I usually do. I'm so-"
Iggy cut me off.
He looked straight at Nudge with an earnest look, presenting her with the flower. "Nudge, will you go out with me?"
Nudge's brown eyes widened. She wiped her tears, a smile splitting her face.
"Yes, yes, yes!"she cried, hugging him.
I laughed with Iggy. I was so happy. Everything turned out right in the end.
The sleepover turned into a girls' and boys' sleepover. The guys came over with their sleeping bags, and we watched horror films until most of us fell asleep. I was one of the last awake, using Alex's laptop to send pictures to my sisters and Mom.
"What are you doing? "a low voice asked.
"Sending e-mails, "I replied, not even having to look up to know Fang was talking to me. He was staring at the TV, looking on emotionlessly at a person being killed by a monster. He chuckled when the woman gave a girlish scream as she was eaten alive.
"You have a sick sense of humor," I said.
He raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? So do you for telling everyone you actually like me. You knew Iggy and Gaz would hide at your door and you wanted to punish me for spying, "he said.
I was silent. Was that what he really thought?
"Max? C'mon, talk. I'm talking more than you, "he teased.
"Oh no, the apocalypse!"I said dully.
He gave me a look.
"Max..."
I looked at him, trying to keep my face clear from the guilty look I probably got when I lied to him. "No. I don't like you, "I said. He held my eyes for a while.
"I believe you, "he finally said. "Good night, Max."
He shut his eyes and nestled into the couch.
"Good night, Fang."
I watched him as fell asleep. I couldn't fall asleep, knowing I lied to him.
