Chapter 32 The Date with James

Fang's POV

The rest of the school day was horrible without Max. Even when I tried to explain everything that had happened she wouldn't listen to me.

I called her name when she crashed into Iggy but she was so upset. Iggy told me everything that they talked about but I decided not to go Max. She needs some alone time.

Kristy kept on bugging me the rest of the day. She even held my hand and rested her head on my shoulder. Each time she did that I bucked her head off my shoulder and pulled my hand out of hers.

She is really getting on my nerves, even more than before.

While in thought, Kristy must have been waving her hand in front of my face. "Nick? Nick?"

I blinked and the school scenery came back to me. In the most aggravated tone I could do I told her, "What?"

"Don't what me. I just wanted to see if you wanted to go out with me tonight. Max is going out with James."

My mouth must have dropped because Kristy chuckled. "What the heck are you talking about?"

"Do I have to say it slowly, Max…is…going…out…with…James."

"I heard you. I'm not deaf, I just don't believe it." Does she actually think that I didn't hear her? That is something I would hate to not hear. How could Max say yes to going out on a date with him, especially after everything that he has done to her?

Without another word, I ran as far away as I could from Kristy. The only place that I could go was home. I know it isn't good to cut school but I kind of had no choice.

Dr. M was no where to be seen. "Whew." Shit, did I say that out loud?

I must have. "Who is there?" Damn, she is home.

Dr. M came down the hall with what looked like some kind of medication in her hands. Nudge and Angel still must not be feeling good.

"Why are you home so early Fang? Did something happen at school?" It seemed like when you are a Mom you know everything.

"Something at school with Max." I usually don't open up to most people but I thought it would be good for her to know.

She let out and loud shockful gasp. "What did you do to her? Is she pregnant?" Why is it that when something happened with Max that she thinks we had sex?

"No, we did not do anything like that." She let out a breath in relief.

"Then what happened that got Max upset and made you come home early from school?"

I had to explain everything to Dr. M. Every once in a while she would ask questions or comment on what had happened. Mostly it was asking me why I didn't turn on the light before kissing the girl. I gave her a reason but she didn't accept it. She said, "Just because you didn't see her one class period doesn't mean that you shouldn't check first."

To get her off of my back for the closet thing I told her, "I know I should have checked before kissing the girl and I have learned my lesson."

Max being mad at more was more than enough. I couldn't take her Mom being mad at me too.

"Good. Is Max still at school?" She was impatient when waiting for my answer.

"I'm sorry but I have no clue where she is. After the closet incident, I chased after her but she wouldn't wait for me to explain. Iggy will probably know but you are going to have to wait for him to get home."

Dr. M did not look to happy with me. "I'm going to call the school and tell them you and Max went home sick just incase she isn't there." She jogged to the kitchen to get the phone and started to dial the number for the school. "Can you go check on Angel and Nudge for me?"

I nodded my head at her so that I wouldn't disturb her while she is on the phone.

Angel and Nudge were lying in their beds watching TV while Nudge was commenting on everything and I mean EVERYTHING that was going on in the show.

They were both completely surprised to see me. "Fang?"

Nudge and Angel both started to get up from their beds but I wouldn't let them. "Stay in bed and relax."

"Ugh," was all that came out of Nudge's and Angel's mouths.

"I know you guys want to get up but if you guys want to get better than you have to stay in bed." I'm starting to sound like a parent.

"Why are you home early?" How did I know that question was coming? Again I had to explain everything that had happened but Angel and Nudge stayed completely quiet until I was done explaining. Even after I was done explaining no sound came out of either of their mouths. They must really be in shock, especially Nudge because she always has something to say.

The rest of the day was quiet. Max didn't get home until it was dusk and the stars were already in the sky. When she came in the house and slammed the door, we were all eating dinner. She said a couple of things to Dr. M, which I blocked out, and headed into our room.

Max didn't say anything to me at all. That night when I went to bed, I didn't sleep a wink and I could tell that Max didn't either. School is going to be horrible tomorrow.

Max's POV

That night I must have gotten at the most 10 minutes of sleep. I woke up with a ton of trouble and everything from the day before came rushing back to me.

To make sure that yesterday wasn't a dream I patted the bed next to me but no one was there. I immediately sat up and saw Fang, still asleep, in the other bed.

Fang started to move around in the bed so I knew he was waking up. I jumped up off of the bed, grabbed my clothes and ran into the bathroom to get ready for school.

At breakfast no one said a word to each other. We all left and Nudge and Angel were feeling a little better so they came to school too.

When we got to school Kristy was waiting for us again. I wish she would just go die in a hole in hell.

The school day past by in a blur and I couldn't remember anything that had happened.

That night though was my "date" with James that none of the Flock, Mom or Ella knew about.

At 3:15 we got home from school, it was a long school day.

Mom was already home and cleaning the house. "How was school today?"

"Ugh," was the only word we older kids could answer with. High school is a drag. We have so much homework but it isn't due until Monday. I was glad that it was Friday, if I had to go to school one more day this week I would die.

The younger kids were upset that they didn't have school tomorrow. Everyone was silent again but Nudge broke the silence. Big surprise there NOT!!! "Our teacher was so nice. We got to watch a movie in class instead of doing work. It wasn't really related to anything that we are doing. It was one of those Disney movies that all the younger kids have seen. It was really good it had…" Gazzy slapped his hand over Nudge's mouth.

"Nudge, you have got to learn to keep your mouth shut." Gazzy was getting tired of all of Nudge's talking too.

"Does anyone have any plans for tonight?" Mom was always ahead of us to make sure everything we did was safe.

"I'm going out tonight with…" Everyone was staring at me. I even saw Fang cross his fingers and put them behind his back, probably hoping it was him. "…James."

Gasps started around the room. "Why would you go out with him after everything that he has done to you?" That was the first words that I heard Fang say to me in 1 day.

"When I was upset he calmed me down a little bit."

After the interrogation from the Flock, I got dressed for the "date." At exactly 6:45 I left to the Hill Diner.

James was already in front of the restaurant waiting for me. I landed in an alley right by the restaurant.

His back was facing me and he was shocked when I tapped him on his shoulder. "Wow, you look…" I could tell that he was going to say hot but he caught himself. "…beautiful."

"Thanks." Without another word, we headed into the restaurant. It was crowded with teenagers around our age, some of them I even recognized from school.

Through most of the dinner we were quiet. James was the first one to break the silence. "So, what movie do you want to see?"

He was actually being courteous tonight. "I'm not really in the mood to watch a movie tonight. Do you think we could just head home after this?"

James looked a little disappointed but he didn't care, "Sure." He was silent for a few more seconds before he decided to speak again. "Is everything going alright with you and Nick?"

The question hit me right in the heart. I had no intention of talking about Fang tonight but he actually seemed concerned.

I took a deep breath before talking. "We still aren't talking to each other if that's what you want to know."

"I'm sorry." Wait a second. Did he just say sorry? I saw him take a deep breath before continuing. "I have to tell you something important."

"Yes, what is it?" At first I was worried about what he was going to tell me but I was glad he did.

"Kristy set everything up." I gave him a shocked expression and he explained everything that they did.

By the time that he was done explaining my mouth was wide open. "I appreciate you telling me but you are a bastard." Before James could do anything about it, I picked up my smoothie and dumped it all over his head.

I left the restaurant without taking another look at James.

I should have listened to Fang. "Why am I such an idiot?" I mumbled to myself.

"You're not an idiot." I recognized that voice but I couldn't think straight after everything that had happened with James.

After a few seconds I recognized the voice. I turned around and...

Hope you guys liked the chapter. I hope you guys are glad that Max and James aren't going out; I was never going to make them go out. I still have the poll up so check it out. Thanks again for all of the reviews and if you guys have any prank suggestions please let me know. PLEASE REVIEW!!!
