Truthfully being famous for your voice and- mad- skills on guitar can be extremely annoying. Especially when you are trying to do homework in study hall and some girl tries to flirt with you unceasingly. Even more so when that person happens to be named Lissa.

"Come on Fang!" she wined at me.

"No Lissa. I am not going to skip school just because you told me to. I have work to do and an education I have to work at. And just because I am famous doesn't mean that I am going to be forever! I would personally like something to fall back on." I hissed the last few sentences out of anger and the fact that a teacher decided to walk by at that point in time. Lissa gave me a fish face and I couldn't help but grimace inside. What was it with girls and their fish faces? I mean seriously I don't understand what they think it is going to chance a guy's mind or something like that. Don't ask me I'm not a girl. "Just leave it Lissa."

"Finne!"

I decided. I knew that I had to get away form all the craziness of the house and school, and no I'm not dropping out I am simply staying after school longer so I can at least finish my homework and not fail my second year of high school. I had asked the headmaster if he could make the exception for me to be able to use a classroom after school so I could do my school work. He had kindly agreed and I finally got an opportunity to stay away from all my screaming, giggling, screeching, flirtatious fans.

It was great the peace and quiet was s first in a long time. It was even quiet enough that I decided to write a song her sometime... yeah that would be good.

Pain.

That was all I felt when I woke up on Saturday.

I laid in my bed and assessed the damage mentally. Lissa had not stopped abusing me after that day. I became utterly reserved and I didn't even talk to my friends anymore. They had come to me asking if anything was wrong but I couldn't go to them. I didn't want their help. I was supposed to be able to fix this on my own, and I didn't need their help. No matter what they thought.

Oh, gosh damn it what am I thinking... I'm hopeless.

I had taken to staying after school to do my homework in the cafeteria that was open to all students after school. I would walk home later, but I didn't want to go back if I was just going to be cut into ribbons more or get another broken rib or something along those lines. I was tired and didn't want to show Lissa my weakness.

The school custodian came over to me and said that he was locking up for the night. Everyone else had left and it was starting to get dark out. I nodded to him and picked up my book bag. Exiting through the double doors at the front, I ran into something hard.

"Oh! Hey watch where you are going there!" I heard the object say. I looked up to find the face of Nick Walker looking down at me.

"Terribly sorry." I muttered pulling my face away. I started to walk away, but I was caught by the arm.

"Hey aren't you my little sister's friend?" I could feel his eyes on me but I didn't look up.

"That depends on who your sister is." I hissed.

"Nudge Walker."

I finally looked up at him and his obsidian eyes seemed to bore straight into my soul, I couldn't help but trimmer a little. "Yeah that's me."

"Well she has been saying that her friend... um... Max... hasn't talked to her in a while. You ok?"

"Fine thanks." I snapped, pulling my arm from his hand, a small amount of pain from the cuts on my arm went away as I did so. I started walking away again thinking to myself, I came upon the thought that the Famous Nick Walker, probably didn't even care about how I was doing.

"Hey!" he called after me, "Why don't you come over for dinner! I'm sure that Nudge would be happy to see you, and since it's so late you could just stay over." He ran up to walk beside me. I spun around to face him.

"If I come with you will you leave me alone from now on?" He looked at me in surprise.

"Um... sure... I guess."

Yes Yes Yes I know what you are thinking. Fax Fax Fax...

Be patient my young sparrows. All you need is patience.
R&R and it will come sooner ;)

Fly on,
