Salutations! I am so sorry for the last chapter being a day late... (I'm trying to do a chapter a night, if I can't, I'll do one the next day) so to make it up to you wonderful readers, I am doing another chapter today!
All I ask in return, is to continue reading, and review, review, REVIEW! Hehehe...
Anyway, I hope you liked the last chapter, though there were no songs sung in it, plus it was really short... I'll try to make them longer, but I can't promise anything...
Disclaimer: I don't own Max Ride.
Chapter dedicated to: You guys! You rock!
FangPOV
"Yo, Fang!" yelled Iggy from across the lot. I looked over to see him walking towards me.
"'Sup, man?" I replied, swinging my backpack over my right shoulder.
"Alright, man. You still right for this afternoon?" he asked, his pale blue eyes shining in the sun.
"What's this afternoon?" I asked blankly, completely confused of what was happening after school.
"Fang! You're the lead singer of the band, yet you forget all the most important stuff for it!" Iggy exclaimed.
"Oh, right, The jam... I knew that," I nodded vigorously to assure him.
"Sure, sure," Iggy mumbled. We started walking to the main gate to the high school. Iggy and I have known each other since... forever, I guess. He was my best friend, one of the few people I can act like myself around.
We talked about songs the band can do as we walked into one of the few buildings in our school.
"So, how do you like the guys we saw yesterday?" asked Iggy, changing the topic.
"Alright, I guess," I said, not bringing up Max. She had been on my mind over the weekend, and it was started in get on my nerves... I need to desperately get my priorities straight.
"How about that Max-chick, hey?" Iggy said with a smirk, nudging me in the side. We arrived to our lockers. I started to spin the dial of my lock, not looking at Iggy.
"Yeah, she was impressive," I mumbled.
"And, she said she can play other instruments, as well as sing! God, she's better be good! Hey, what do you have first?" Iggy rambled, grabbing the books he needed and stuffing them in his bag.
"Er... Double Music, with Miss Connell," I said looking at my timetable, "I gotta go, see you at lunch,"
"Yeah, see you, man," replied Iggy as I turned away. I walked toward the music room, humming a tune that I could not name but sounded familiar.
I walked up the stairs and down the hall to the music room. I walked in, to find the room half full of students happily chattering about one thing or another.
I walked to the back table and sat in the chair tucked under the desk. I swung my bag onto the table and waited for class to start.
"Fang, right?" said a voice next to me. I turned to see the girl I had been thinking of since I first meet her.
"Yeah, Max, right?" I said with a smirk. I turned my body towards her. She wore skinny jeans and a shirt with converse. Her brown-blonde hair was tied to a messy ponytail that was flung over her left shoulder.
"Yep, you look familiar," she stated, looking at my face trying to remember where she had seen me before.
"Auditions," I said simply, nodding my head. I reached for my bag and got out my music book, ready for class.
She seemed to understand, turning to the desk and picking at the chipping wood, "Oh," she said.
We fell into an awkward silence
"You were great, you know," I said, shifting in my seat uncomfortably.
"Oh, yeah. Right, that... Thanks," she murmured, "practise, I guess," she smiled warmly at me.
Just that moment, Miss Connell walked into the room, ordering quiet. "Ok, ok, quiet class. I've got a treat for you today. So, look to the person next to you," everyone did this. I looked towards Max as she looked at me. She raised her eyebrows at me as she looked back at Miss Connell. I slowly turned my head to her. "Whoever you're sitting with it your duet partner for this lesson. Work for the next two periods on it and we'll be presenting at the end. Get to work, guys,"
Max looked at me, staying silent. I watched her as she reached into her bag and grabbed her iPod. I waited as she scrolled through her song selction until she stopped. She looked at me with a smile and asked, "Can you do Boys Like Girls?".
MaxPOV
Fang and I worked on the song for the two periods until we had it perfectly and we were on the same boat. We were now seated while other pairs performed their duets.
Once the pair finished their song, we clapped for them politely as Miss Connell said, "Well done, guys. It was great!" The two sat down at their table and waited for miss to continue. "Ok, Max and Fang, do you want to show us yours now?" she asked. I looked over at Fang, who simply nodded. We walked up to the front. "Max and Fang, everybody!" Miss Connell said to the class, who clapped again.
Fang grabbed my iPod and pt it into the dock. Fang waited for his cue and sang,
" I remember what you wore on the first day You came into my life and I thought "Hey, you know, this could be something" 'Cause everything you do and words you say You know that it all takes my breath away And now I'm left with nothing"
I breathed once and opened my mouth to sing,
"So maybe it's true That I can't live without you And maybe two is better than one But there's so much time To figure out the rest of my life And you've already got me coming undone And I'm thinking two is better than one."
We sang together, looking at each other, smiling slightly,
" I remember every look upon your face The way you roll your eyes The way you taste You make it hard for breathing 'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away I think of you and everything's okay I'm finally now believing That maybe it's true That I can't live without you And maybe two is better than one But there's so much time To figure out the rest of my life And you've already got me coming undone And I'm thinking two is better than one I remember what you wore on the first day You came into my life and I thought, "Hey," .com/two_is_better_than_one_lyrics_boys_like_ Maybe it's true That I can't live without you Maybe two is better than one But there's so much time To figure out the rest of my life And you've already got me coming undone And I'm thinking I can't live without you 'Cause, baby, two is better than one But there's so much time To figure out the rest of my life But I'll figure it out When all is said and done Two is better than one Two is better than one"
We both paused as the song ended. It was dead silent until the entire room filled of applause.
I looked at Fang and smiled. He was an amazing performer.
Thanks for reading! And, don't forget to review and add this story to Story Alert/Story Favourites, if you like it!
