I'm back! What's up? so liked the last chapter? It was a long one. Now, My boarding school is continued! Hooray! I hope you like the Fax...but Max is definitely an evil one. Oh, yes, she is! :) enjoy!

I walked down the stairs, quietly closing my dorm's room so I wouldn't wake up Nudge. I walked to the court yard, humming to a song stuck in my head.

"Hey."

I jumped into the air, shocked. I whirled around, gasping for breath. "Don't do that, Fang!" I exclaimed, glaring at the tall boy as he stepped out of the shadows. He looked at me with indifference. "What? Breathing?"

I rolled my eyes. "You know what I mean."

He eased himself onto the edge of the fountain, smiling sheepishly. "I just...you know, wanted to tell you something."

I raised an eyebrow. "And? My ears are open, Fang. Keep talking. I know you don't do it much, but keep talking."

He shot me a half hearted glare.

"Whatever. Yeah...Max..."

In one swift motion, he was right in front of me, so close that I was able to count the hairs on his brow and see the dark depths of his onyx eyes. "Max..."

"I couldn't sleep at night. I was thinking about how I lied to you."

I waved the matter away with a hand and tried to step back, but Fang kept his iron hold on my wrist. His eyes bore into mine, and I could feel the heat of his gaze.

"It's okay. Now let go of me," I commanded, yanking at my arm.

He closed his eyes, leaning closer. "I won't ever, ever, ever let go of you. I won't ever give up on you."

I was slightly confused by now. What was he saying?

"Fang, I-"

"I hope you want this as much as I do."

His lips crashed down on mine, fiery with want. I stood there, stunned, eyes wide. Hi body pressed even closer to mine, and I got lost in the kiss. All to soon, he moved back, lips red and swollen.

"How was that?" He asked, cockiness in his voice. I searched his eyes, seeing the passion and emotion in them. "I..."

I was lost for words. His arrogant smile got wider, and I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts and ignore how impossibly hot he was. "Well...just shut up and kiss me." I yanked his shirt and forced him to lean down, and I pressed my lips to his. He answered almost immediately, and we moved in sync.

"Now, that. That was...phenomenal," he said. I winked. "Glad you liked it."

"So what does that make us? Friends? Best friends? Friends with benefits?" He asked, running a hand through his dark hair.

I placed my hands around his neck, a teasing smile on my face. "Well, I was hoping...maybe we could be boyfriend and girlfriend?" I couldn't believe how bold I was being, but it just came out of my mouth.

Surprise was written across his face. "Oh...yeah." I crossed my arms, glaring at him.

"So? Are you gonna ask me out? Or do I have to be the man in this relationship and ask you out," I said, staring at him expectantly. He cleared his throat. "Uh...Maximum Martinez, will you go on a date with me?"

I put a finger to my chin, a playful smile on my lips. "Oh, I'll have to think about it." I left him with his mouth hanging open.

Teasing Fang was very funny.

"Yo! Nudge, could you wake up? I gotta talk to you."

I was back in the dorm, my veins pumping with adrenalin from my late-night kiss with Fang.

Nudge blinked sleepily, staring up at me. She shifted. "Max...it's twelve right now. What do you want?" She was obviously too tired to complain.

"Please. I gotta talk to you! I met Fang right now in the court yard, and-"

Nudge frowned. "I know you're great friends with Fang, but it's not safe to meet up with a guy where no one can hear you. Please don't do that again," Nudge said, looking worried. I bit back a sarcastic remark and just nodded. Nudge was being a good friend. Even if she didn't know what she was talking about. Fang was my friend, and he would never hurt me on purpose.

"Anyway, he basically asked me out, but I didn't say yes or anything, I just said that I would think about it. I wanted to ask you about what you think I should do. Should I say yes to him tomorrow?" I asked.

Nudge's eyes lit up. "Aw! I'm so glad you waited. I think you guys would make the best couple ever, but you should wait a bit longer before you start dating him. Being friends is a good stage, and you won't act as awkward around each other if you consider yourselves friends." Nudge advised. She yawned.

"I'll talk to you more later, but I'm really tired right now. Sorry. Good night, Max."

She went back to sleep, leaving me to think about what she said. I sighed, deciding to listen to music to clear my head. Grabbing my iPod and plugging my earphones in, I listened to the soothing tone of Linkin Park.

Maybe I would wait before I dated Fang. Maybe I would just have to take Nudge's advice and get to know him better. We would make a better couple then, right?

I woke up the next morning, feeling refreshed. I stretched, looking down at my iPod. It was still playing music.

"Up and at 'em, sunshine!" I cried, waking Nudge up. She slowly opened her eyes, looking tired. "Hey, Max. Isn't it a Saturday?"

"No, it's Friday. Day after Halloween? Duh." I said.

Her eyes widened, and she sat up quickly, jumping out of bed. "Don't we have school today?"

I rolled my heads. Nudge wasn't thinking right today. Why would she ask something so obvious? "Uh, yeah! Duh. Do you have to ask?" I asked.

"IT'S NINE FORTY RIGHT NOW! WE OVERSLEPT!" She screamed.

I looked at the clock, then back at her.

"Oh, shit."

"We're both going to get detention for this!"

"Uh, yeah!"

Hm...hi. Liked it? You thought Fang and Max would finally be a couple, hm?

wrong!

sadly, no. It's not gonna be that easy.

bye now!

see you guys,
