I know! I'm sorry, I'm so very, very sorry for the late update! I feel so bad for leaving it so long, but truthfully, I had hit a really high wall that was hard to climb over, even though I know what's going to happen!
This chapter is based on Valentines Day, which was this week, I think... Thankyou TheAngelCalledAkuma for the idea in your last review!
So, please review and forgive me! Haha...
NudgePOV
"...And the Potato was all like "If I was fried, I'd taste better then you!", and that just freaked me out, yeah? I mean, that's like suicide, for a potato, cause the potato wants to cook it's self, which is kanda weird and trying to kill itself, if you ask me. But, then again, potatos are pretty damn delicious fried..." I rambled to the people at the table, who stared at me as if I was some alien-creature from another planet talking about how I would use their brains to make a ultra-smart super computer. Oh well.
I opened my mouth to talk again before someone from my maths ckass interrupted, "Oh, my God! Is that Will?"
She watched the front door behind me. I slowly turned in my seat tto see what was so interesting.
Will. He was approaching us, whereing a suit and tie, top hat on his head and shiny black shoes. I couldn't help but burst out in cackles of laughter, struggling to breathe as I rolled around uncontrolabley.
When he stood infront of me, a smile plastered on his face, I kept laughing. "Oh, my God! You should see yourself! Who dressed you this morning, seriously? Oh, God! That just made my day, I swear! But, seriously, what's the special occasion? Hey, look! It's Iggy with a guitar! Iggy, why do you have that guitar? Are you going to perform? Will! I think Iggy's going to perform for everyone! That's so cool. But -" I stopped when Iggy handed the instrument to Will. "What are you doing?" I saw the rest of the band set up in the corner of the room. "Wait... What? What are you doing?"
Will raised his eyebrows, smiling. He reached into his coat and brought out a single red rose, handing it to me. He chuckled at my shocked expression, walking over to where the band were set up.
"Will?" I called. He kept walking. I looked down at the rose, holding it with my pointer finger and thumb. I smiled to myself, bring the flower to my nose and sniffing.
"Nudge? What's all this?" people asked.
I answered, "I don't know."
By now, Will and the band were set up and ready. "Ahem," Will said to the mic, "Hey guys and girls. As most of you know, we're The Flock, read yot perform to you today." There were loud cheers from around the hall. Will waved his hands around, signaling the noise down. "Ok, ok, ok. Now, this songs is dedicated to my Nudge." I blushed as he smiled sweetly at me, and people around sent loud, "aww"'s in my direction. "Enjoy everyone." He turned away from the mic, telling the band something then they started to play.
"You would look a little better
Don't you know
If you just wore less make-up
But its hard to realise
When you're sky high
Fighting off the spaceships
And so you're drinking in your room
To make it all go
It didn't end too soon
You've got the next one
You're holding on too long
You've got to let go
Your other love is gone
And you know
Its too late
Its too late
You've got another one coming
And its going to be the same,"
Will swung the guitar behind his back, Iggy taking his part of the song as he grabbed the mic off of it's stand. He was now walking throught the crowds towards me.
"I tried to find a quiet place that we could go
To help you make decisions
But I didn't find it easy to tell them apart
With double vision
And so you're drinking in your room
To make it all go
It didn't end too soon
You've got the next one
You're holding on too long
You've got to let go
Your other love is gone
And you know
Its not the same
Its not the same
Its not the same
You're going to tell me that I'm right
You're going to come back down
And find yourself
Where you are again
You didn't know
You didn't know
You didn't know
So don't pretend you saw it now
Its not something you'd want to happen
Now you know who you are again,"
Now standing infront of me, he was puffing. His eyes shone as he looked right into mine.
"Nudge," he breathed. Lost for words to respond, I nodded, not daring to look away. He took my hand in his. He got down on one knee, and I felt as though I couldn't breathe myself.
"Will you be my valentine this year?"
FangPOV
It was the day before Valentines Day, and I was already depressed. I hadn't spoken to Max since I went to her house, and I didn't have the guts to go back. She hadn't come to school yet and Ella hasn't been seen or heard from.
But after seeing Will's Valentines "proposal" this morning, I was walking around in a daze. I needed Max back. But how? I figured Valentines Day was the best way to win her heart back forever and to clear up any uncertain thoughts traveling in her head.
As I went to open my locker, I saw someone that I didn't want to see leaning up against it. With her hardly-there clothes etching it's way up her ass as she moved and her extremely tight shirt that hightlighted features that didn't really need to be hightlighted, she looked like a hooker. A badly dressed hooker. Oh, God.
"Fang," Lissa purred, "I was waiting for you, yeah?"
I fought back gags at her bad attempts at flirting. "You're in my way, Lis, can you move?"
She giggled, "what's the magic word?"
I looked away, annoyed, "look, Lissa. Don't have time for this -"
"We're made for each other, Fang! I knew it, too! So, I planned everything out for Valentines Day, tomorrow so you don't really have to do anything but be the sexy gentlmen that you already are!"
I was now confused, "wait... What?"
She jumped up and down, clapping her hands together. "Great! So, after school, dinner, yeah? Great!"
I opened my mouth to object before someone came up behind me, grabbing my shoulder and pulling me out of the way.
"Look, Lissa," Kim spat, "I'm sad to say that Fang is not your man. So you have no other choice but to be single like the rest of us this Valentines Day whether you like it or not." I fought back a smirk as Kim crossed her arms across her chest and leant to the side.
"And what are you gonna do about it? He's not your boyfriend."
Kim's face scrunched up, "don't tempt me, sweetheart."
Lissa copied Kim's stance, "yeah. And why is it that you never seem to have a boyfriend? Or is that just not down your alley? How would you like it if the whole school knew the reason you dressed like such a tomboy is cause you wished you were one." That's was harsh.
But Kim just smiled, "go ahead. You don't scare me. Plus it's not my problem you don't have any friends and everybody hates you."
As Lissa went pale, Kim walked past her, brushing against her shoulder, not turning back.
Lissa stood there, not doing anything. All she did next was scream. I tried not to chuckle, taking the few steps towards my locker and turning the dial quickly.

I snapped my eyes open once I heard the final bell sound at the end of the day. Finally, I thought. Stuffing my books, pen and papers into my bag, I raced out of the building not turning back or waiting for Iggy.
I had considered stopping at Max's place, but I suppose I had chickened out. I'll call her later, maybe...
It didn't take long at all to get home. The door was unlocked, but no one was home. Maybe Dylan had forgotten to lock it this morning I think, but then I remember that I was left after him. I did lock it, didn't I? Shrugging it off, I went inside.
"I'm home," I mumbled, more to myself then anyone else. Sighing, I took off my shoes and put my bad on the kitchen bench.
Being home alone, I did what every teenager did. I put on my iPod, volume past halfway, drank juice from the carton and ate peanut butter from the jar with a spoon.
I had homework to do, but I didn't want to do it. I had essay's to write, but I was not bothered.
I sat on a stool and continued to eat from the large jar. This was the best.
Suddenly, my phone buzzed.
Wanna play a game? Just go outside...
It was from Max. What did she mean? I thought of texting her back, but then I thought I may as well do as she says. I'm already in love with her...
I pulled on my socks and converse and strode out the door. I was shocked by what I saw. Nothing. The front yard, the street, nothing was different. I was about to turn around and go back inside when I saw a piece of paper on the ground. Bending down to pick it up, I saw the familiar scribbles scrawled on the page.
Go left, up the street...
I was so confused, but my curioisity got the better of me. It took me a while this time, but I found another sheet.
It had an arrow this time, pointing in the direction in the right. Hmm...
After a few messages, I was losing patience. What was the point of this? Was it even Max doing this, maybe it was some joke that I had fallen for. Great, I am such an idiot.
Though my thoughts, I almost missed the fifth message.
I'm closer then you think...
This wasn't much of a helpful clue. What was I meant to do now? It took me a while to realize where I was. The bayside, where Max and I first kissed. We were under the gazebo... The gazebo! Having realized where this puzzle ended up, I jogged in the direction I thought it was.
My heart felt as if it was in my mouth. My breathing picked up and I became more tired. Come on, I thought.
It came into view. There it is!
I heard music. The Flock, I assumed. I stopped running but kept my pace quick. I was excited, yet nervous. What was here? Is it good I came?
I was there.
I saw Max, dressed in a plain white dress with her hair done up. She stood barefoot behind the mic that was set up. She looked entire band was behind her, holding their instruments.
"Max..." I said. I was speechless. What happened to all the things I wanted to say to her? About getting back together and how much I loved her? But no. My mind was blank.
Max and I looked in each others eyes for a moment, before she turned her head to the band, "ready guys?"
They nodded, some replying. "Ok..." Max said. The music started and she waited for her cue...
"Your smile, your sense of humor, the way your eyes shine
That's what I like about you
My laugh, my taste in music, the way my hair falls
That's what you like about me
Friends forever
Friends for never
A love/hate relationship
That's what we've got
Friend, Enemy
Heck, even Frenemy
How about boyfriend and girlfriend?

Friends forever
Friends for never
A love/hate relationship
That's what we've got
Friend, Enemy
Heck, even Frenemy
How about boyfriend and girlfriend?

It's all we've got
I'm not settling for anything else
I want to be with you
You don't have to get me anything
All I need is you
Your smile, your sense of humor, the way your eyes shine
That's what I like about you
My laugh, my taste in music, the way my hair falls
That's what you like about me
Friends forever
Friends for never
A love/hate relationship
We've got more than that
I'm tired of the mixed signals
The tangled emotions
Stop to breathe
So let's be boyfriend and girlfriend
You're all I need."
All I could think about was Max. Max. The Max that just poured her heart out in an original song...
She stood their, looking at her feet. She seemed unsure about how I would respond.
I stepped forward, stroking her face and tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Fang -" I cut her off, scooping her face in my hand and bringing her lips to mine, kissing her with all I had.
There back together! Yay! This chapter took forever, so I hope you like it! Phew...
