I woke up, groaning as the alarm rang my ears off. I rolled over and realized what day it was. Crap, I have to go shopping. As soon as that thought came into mind, Nudge bounded into my room.
"Hi Max!" she called.
"I thought we were supposed to meet at the mall." I groaned "And it's only 8 o'clock!"
"I thought we could go out faster." Nudge said cheerfully and pushed me off the bed, I blearily changed into jeans and a light blue gap. I shoved my feet into a pair of converse and followed Nudge out of the house. Tess, JJ and Ella were waiting outside. I climbed into the driver's seat of my car. (Yeah, I know that I'm only 15 and haven't got a license, do I care? I look older anyway, my mm bought this car for me last year, yeah, she's cool that way as long as I don't leave my socks around, I'm golden)
"Can I drive?" Ella asked.
"No," I said "It's my car." Ella grumbled. "Besides, I feel sick if you drive." I added. We soon arrived at the mall where Nudge immediately pulled me into some weird French shop. She threw several dressed at me and told me to try it. I changed into the first one, a horrible light pink one. Nudge shook her head when she saw this.
"Nope." She said. I changed into a flurry of dresses until the last one. Nudge nodded in satisfaction "Perfect." I looked down, it was a sleeveless white silk a tiny bit puffy dress that came a little past my knees, it had a thick black belt around the waist. I grimaced. Ella came out in a complete puffy black dress.
"I like this one." She said happily. JJ chose a light pink spaghetti strap dress, finally Tess just got a simple blue dress that matched her eyes. Nudge smiled and showed us a blood red dress that showed her figure. It looked really nice on her.
"It suits you a lot." I told her. Nudge nodded.
"Now for the shoes." We were once more dragged into an expensive shoe shop. Nudge gave me white flats.
"You and Tess should wear those, you don't want to grow taller than boys." Nudge told me, I agreed happily, I hated high heels. Ella got black high heels, Nudge a red one.
"I guess you like to match colors." I guessed, Nudge grinned.
"Duh!" she checked her phone "Last of all comes the accessories, I'll buy them for you guys, cause I got a lot of money for my birthday last week."
"Cool." I said, I might not like shopping, but I liked free things. I chose a silver chain necklace with a single pearl on it and thin silver bangles. Nudge agreed with my choice. Finally we went back home. "The prom sucks." I said, massaging my ankles, as we hang out in my house. Tess agreed.
"Well, how about a sleepover today?" Ella made a suggestion, I thought about it and agreed.
"We might as well call the flock." I said.
"Invite Dylan and Sam while you're on it." Nudge said, I phoned everyone and they said okay. Suddenly the bell rang and Angel and Gazzy (Who had been to the dentist) came skipping in with mum. She lifted an eyebrow when she saw all of us.
"What's going on?" mum asked.
"Well… We kind of decided to have a sleepover with Tess, JJ, Ella, me, and Nudge, Sam, Dylan and Iggy." Mum narrowed her eyes and sighed.
"Well, I was going to have a holiday for the weekend with Jeb today, have fun." She went out of the door.
Ugrhh, Jeb sucks." I complained.
"Can I see your dress Max?" Angel squealed I smiled and showed her it. Angel stroked her face on the soft silk.
"I hate dresses!" Gazzy announced, "I want to blow up things with Iggy!" As soon as he said that, Iggy walked in.
"Iggy?" I smiled sweetly, Iggy nervously fingered his pocket "Hand me the lock now." I demanded holding my hand out. Iggy sulkily placed the lock in my hand, I tossed it out into the garden. Iggy stared wistfully after it.
"That was my biggest success…" Sam and Dylan arrived soon after, we spread duvets all over the living room, soon it was duvet world, all soft and downy. Angel curled up into the corner and read a book. Gazzy went over to a friend's house. The rest of us? We decided to have a game of truth or dare.
"Iggy truth or dare?" I asked.
"I'm not chicken, dare." Iggy smiled. I thought for a while.
"I got it!" I said "I dare you to stay still while we tie you to the door, you only have to stay there until Gazzy comes and slams your face into the wall." Iggy's mouth dropped open.
"I don't want to go through the wall again!" he complained, too late, Dylan grabbed him, I tied him to the door successfully. Everyone was cracking up with laughter at Iggy's expression.
"Gazzy slams the door really hard." Ella snickered "He normally makes a dent in the wall, that's the marks." She pointed, Iggy's expression turned from horrified to scared and freaked out.
"Max, truth or dare?" Iggy asked furiously.
"Truth." I said.
"Do you love someone?" he asked.
"Yup." I said easily.
"Then who?" he asked.
"That's two questions, but I'll answer because I'm nice. Well, I love my family, and the flock and my friends."
"I don't mean that way!" Iggy protested.
"Too bad, Tess truth or dare?" I asked.
"Dare." I frowned.
"I… I dare you to do a handstand for 5 minutes."
"That's all you can think of?" Tess scoffed. I grinned evilly.
"Not when your shirt slides down and shows your stomach." Tess looked down at her shirt, it was a big boxer shirt that hung loosely.
"No way!" she shouted. Iggy smiled too.
"Now that will be something worth to look at." He said. Tess bit her lip.
"Okay, I'll take off one shoe."
"What?"
"She's right." Nudge said "If you refuse to do a truth or dare, you take off a piece of clothing."
"Why didn't you tell me that?" Iggy yelled. Nudge shrugged.
"Don't know." Iggy fumed in anger while I cracked up again.
"Alright calm down!" she yelled "Ella truth or dare?"
"Truth." Ella replied confidently
"Who is your crush?" Tess asked. Ella blushed. She took off her shoe. I stuck my tongue out at her. The game went on until Gazzy came in. We all snickered when Iggy face slammed into the wall.
"Hi Iggy!" Gazzy said brightly "Why is your head stuck in the wall?"
"Second time I went through the wall this week." Iggy muttered as we untied him.
"I think you've got a broken nose." Ella said "We should set it right and hold an ice pack to it." She carefully took hold of his nose and we all winced as Iggy's nose creaked. Iggy screamed in pain.
"Otherwise, you'll have a crooked nose." JJ grinned.
"Shut up." Iggy said sourly, holding an icepack to his nose "You've got acne dude." JJ blushed so furiously that I almost snickered again. JJ unfortunately was the only one among us that had acne.
"And you've… you've got skin as white as snow!" JJ blurted, Iggy lifted an eyebrow.
"Is that meant to be a compliment or criticism?" he asked sarcastically.
"Criticism!" JJ shouted. The game ended then, we all went out to play tag or something, Iggy and JJ kept bickering until Angel (That's my girl!) smartly told them to shut up.
"Okay, this is a game called police." I said. "It's basically one where you split up into two teams. One the police and one the burglar. The burglar has a base, but can't stay in it for more than 15 seconds, when the police catches the burglar, they can put the burglar in jail, tie the burglar whatever and guard him. A teammate can also rescue the capture burglar. However, if the burglar manages to go into the police's fort and steal." I held up a key "This key to my house, the burglars get to sleep inside and the police has to sleep outside."
"Cruel," Dylan said.
"Well, I'll be burglar, I choose… Dylan." Dylan smiled.
"I'll be police!" Nudge said cheerfully "Come on Sam."
"Iggy." I said
"Tess." Nudge retorted.
"Ella." I pointed at her.
"Gazzy."
"Angel."
"JJ."
"Okay, so the burglar team is me, Dylan, Iggy, Ella and Angel, the police team is Nudge, Sam, Tess, Gazzy and JJ." I said. They all nodded "The game starts… Now!" I shouted and bolted dodging just as JJ leapt at me. I ran towards the fort, nearby I saw Nudge catching Ella, she grinned evilly and dragged her into the forest. (Yes, my house has, let's say, VERY big garden with swimming pools, forests, small hills, my mom and Jeb make a lot of money) Well, I might as well rescue her. I leapt after them, blending into the trees. I spotted Nudge herding Ella into a bush, she looked around and ran back out of the forest. I came out of the bushes.
"Yo." I said and tagged Ella, she came out of the bushes.
"Thanks Max." the game went on, I got captured by Tess (Who evilly tied me up) But got rescued by Dylan. Angel got caught twice but was rescued, once by Iggy and once by me. We caught Sam, JJ, and Tess and tied them all up together.
"Only Gazzy and Nudge left in the other side." I told them "Me, Iggy and Dylan will go to get the key, Angel and Ella can guard them."
"Hey!" Tess protested. Everyone nodded, I sprinted near the fort (That was a secret tent I set up when I was 11) Gazzy was pacing around, his eyes darting across the forest.
"I'll pin him down." I said "Iggy can go get the key and Dylan, you keep a lookout for Nudge." I jumped towards Gazzy and pinned him down, covering his mouth. Gazzy writhed furiously. "I know, but there was no rule we couldn't fight." I grinned, Iggy crept into the fort and came back with the key just as Nudge shot through the forest, Dylan blocked her.
"You lose." Iggy cackled. Nudge stared open mouthed at the key.
"I though you said you can protect the fort!" She complained to Gazzy who looked guilty. I got off him.
"Sorry," he muttered "Max took me by surprise." I grinned.
"I'll be nice and give sleeping bags." I said. "So me, Ella, Iggy, Angel and Dylan officially get to sleep inside!" I yelled and did a high ten with Iggy.
"Well, what do we do now?" Nudge said glumly. I looked at her.
"How about… Eat?"
Lousy chap, I know. I was doing this when I was supposed to be doing my homework… So yeah, I had to be really secretive.
