Chapter 8
Fang's POV
Who was this guy? Well I knew who he was, but you know, I didn't like him. He was all trying to be cute and shit. All to impress Max too, and I resented him for it. Why the hell didn't I come up with that? Oh that's right...Fang doesn't do cute. I'm so fucking wound up that I'm even talking In third person! What is wrong with me? And to top off my bad mood after that idiot girl Lissa tried to mack at me, my equally idiotic best friend basically broke my back. In front of Max...Max saw me eat dirt. At least no can tell that I'm in a bad mood since I always look like I'm in a bad mood.
So here I am. Walking at the back of the group, on our way to the park. Where I'm absolutely positive Sam will continue with his cute act. He can just go fu-
"Hey Fang. You look sorta comatose..." Iggy interrupted my lovely train of thought. Which was annoying...
"You look sorta constipated." And he did. He had his "speculating" look on. The one that he uses when he's trying to figure something out. He let out a low whistle before responding.
"Why so cranky? Is it 'cause everyone likes Sam more than you?"
"That wiener has nothing on me."
"You know Fang. You're a pretty passionate guy and all, but hell, do good with it already! Don't waste it on hating my neighbor!" Another reason to hate Sam. He's gonna live right next to Max...
"What are you talking about?" he sighed before replying
"Fang. Sometimes you can be a tad weird-"
"I'm weird?" I ask, but he blows me off like I hadn't just incredulously accused him for being insane.
"-but I don't mind- you're my best bud. I mean it's all good. Me and you buddy. We're the terrible two. We are the three amigos!",He stops for a second before speaking again, "Well minus one anyways. We're just that tight you know? But I gotta be honest. You're fuckin' crazy for secluding yourself from the whole female population, when you have them hitting on you left and right. It's an insult to us normal guys! I wouldn't mind me some digits once in a while!"
"Sorry that I value my virtue..."
"Yeah, you should be! You're a 15 year old guy, and you've never hugged a girl that's not family!"
"Neither have you as far as I'm aware-"
"Ahh, but I have. Girls with big ol' ti-"
"Shut your mouth."
"Right." He cleared his throat and straightened his back before continuing "Seriously though. Get a move on! Get a girlfriend! I don't care who with, just go get one!"
"Really?"
"Hell yeah."
"What about Max?"
"My cousin Max?"
"Mmhm."
"That's different."
"Mmhm" I heard a toot and looked up to the approaching form.
"So watcha guys talkin' 'bout?" Gazzy asked, prevented a rather awkward conversation with Iggs.
"Gazzy! Where the fuck did you come from?" Iggy asked looking as constipated as ever
"Same place you came from."
"...ew."
"I meant the house you dip!"
"Well then..."
"You never answered my question though. What are you talking about? You both look sorta tense. Never mind I'm gonna go throw rocks at that squirrel." he said this 'cause we had just gotten to the park. I looked around taking note of where Nudge was. Mom would blow her tubes if she found out I lost my sister.
I made myself at home at the base of a big oak tree. Did I actually like Max? In that way? I honestly couldn't say. But if it was a life or death situation, and people were threatening to kill me at gun point if I didn't make a choice then I'd say...We'll I'd kick their ass'! No one holds me at gun point! Then I'd steal their wallets, and buy myself some McD's.
"So whats up?" I was sorta startled, but of course my only reaction was to turn in the direction of the voice. I shrugged once I was facing Max. After a couple of seconds she started to giggle quietly. I raised an eye brow at her in question.
"I totally scared you" I felt my eyes widden a little-but not enough so that she'd notice. How'd she know!
"Don't be so surprised!"
"...you got me all figure out."
"Well no, but I bet I can figure you out in time." Then we fell into comfortable silence. I watched her out of the corner of my eye as she gazed toward the baseball field, smiling to her self.
"Something special about this place?" I asked
"Yeah actually, how'd you know." I shrugged in answer and i fought a smile.
"'Got me all figured out?'"
"No...I need to get to know you better first."
"We can arrange for that." She said while smiling this killer smile. God, she's pretty.
"FANG!" We both turned our attention to a frazzled looking Nudge.
"ZOMG. Angel told me that she saw Lissa over by the tennis court, she was asking people if they knew where you were. So Sam told her, and now she's gonna come over! I don't like Lissa, Last year she totally stepped on my white converse on purpose. And I had to scrub them and bleach them, and she's just so mean-"
"Max!" A crying Ari came running over and he dropped himself onto Max. Yeah our little moment was ruined.
"I guess you gotta go hid from this 'Lissa' while I go and get Ari's scraped elbow cleaned up." Max threw in a sad little smile before walking away with Ari in her arms. Crap...Lissa's coming.
Max's POV
"Alright, so what happened Ari? You have to be more careful." I had Ari perched on the single sink that's was in the parks rather disgusting restroom. The blood was starting to dry around the actual scrap, so I got to work on cleaning that up.
"Owe." He cried each time I touched his boo boo. I always used to do this kind of thing for Ella back home. Mom was always to busy to even look at what was going on.
"C'mon buddy, tell me what happened. It'll distract you from what I'm doing, Kay?" He gave me a watery smile and nodded his , poor baby. It really was sad.
"I wanted to play with Angel, s-so I followed her and Sam. Th-then a lady pushed me to the floor!" he started crying again once he finished. Thankfully I was already finished with cleaning him up. I gave him a big hug before trying to get anymore information outta him.
"Okay Ari. You gotta tell me what she looked like. That way I can give her a good talking to." I said giving him a little poke in the tummy.
"Okay. It doesn't hurt alot anymore." He wiped his tears away with his sleeve
"That's awesome. C'mon. Lets find that lady and make her buy you an ice cream." I can't believe some bitch pushed my little brother, and left him there with out apologising. Not just that, but she totally ruined my amazing occurrence with Fang! I had finally grown the balls to talk to him, and we get interrupted. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming Ari for getting hurt or anything, but damn...seriously. What person does that to a little kid? And a really cute one at that as well!
I was carrying Ari in a piggy back ride, and I told him to point at the lady if he saw her, which he did within 5 minutes.
"Max! That's her. She pushed me!"
"The ginger?" Of course it was the ginger...Ari sniffled and nodded. I let him down and directed him to a near by bench.
"You just sit here for now, okay? I'll be back in a bit."
As I approached the girl I got a better look at her. She was desperately looking for god knows what. Probably her common sense. I inwardly laughed at my lame joke. She had on way to much make-up, and she hair was red and flat. As for what she wore? Let's leave it at how much of a slut she looked. When she saw me she gave me the worst mug I'd ever received. She looked like she was crossing her eyes at me!
"Eww, what are you?"
"Does that little boy look familiar?" I asked viciously, ignoring her comment all together.
"Oh my god! That's the brat from earlier. Eww he's all covered in buggers-"
"Well that's my little brother, and who the fuck told you it was okay to mess with him?"
"Umm, do you know who I am?"
"I don't give a shit about who the hell you are. You're nobody. I should sue you!"
"He was in my way bitch." Her insult almost broke my heart, it was so pathetic.
"I'm not the one that injures innocent 7 year olds. So unless you wanna get your ass kicked, go and apologize and buy him an ice cream. And I don't want any half-ass apology either. You better make it believable. As for the ice cream, don't be cheap."
"That's great and all, but I'm really busy right now. I need to find my boy friend."
"To bad-"
"Fang! Help me, this ugly psycho girl is trying to rob me!" Oh hell...she's a screamer-wait. Fang!
"Motherfucker- you're Lissa!"
"Eww, how do you know my name?" Oh jeez it is her!
"I'm getting really tired of you." And with that I shoved her, and her heels kept her from gaining balance and she feel flat on her face.
"Oww!" Her scream was music to my ears, but her face...Oh what a mess.
"Who knew concrete could cause so much damage..." Gazzy came up from behind me. I nodded in agreement. She now had a fat lip and scrap that ran up the side of her face...scary.
"Doesn't look that different to me." Nudge states coming up on my other side. We all laughed
"I'm proud Max, proud to call you my cousin." Iggy really did look proud, he came over and hugged me really tight, and before I knew it I felt Ari hugging my legs and smiling up at me.
"Do I get my ice cream now?" I just laughed at his question. Of course he was.
"...Wow." I couldn't tell if it was Sam or Fang that breathed that one out...either way that just added on to my giddiness.
"C'mon Ari, let's go get your ice cream."
