Chap 12- It's not always about cheese

A/N

Me: Hey it's me again,

Fang: Joy

Me: Anyways I was talking to my best friend mymortalromances who reminds me a lot of Nudge.

Fang: Seriously the girl never shuts up about cheese!

Me: Anyways she wasn't happy because Nudge wasn't in this fanfic much…

Fang: That's because Max obsesses with me

Me: You're so full of yourself.

Fang: You make that sound like a bad thing.

Me: Anyways I'm going to make Nudge come in it a lot more I promise and Angel will start to fit in as well.

Fang: What no me?

Me: (Face-palm)

I arrived at school and Nudge was jumping up and down… big surprise.

"Oh my god, Max!" She exclaimed.

"What did I do?" I asked cautiously.

"You blushed!" She exclaimed.

"I couldn't help it ok," I whined.

"No it's cute, it proves that you have emotions," Nudge nodded.

"Nudge, did you have sugar?" I questioned her as I rubbed my hand along my forehead.

"No," Nudge lied.

"Oh well I don't have to deal with you in class Ethan does," I smirked.

"I know, I drive him nuts he keeps banging his head against the table for no reason and then he looks like he's holding a stress ball and shaking it and then he starts punching the air just because I asked him what his favourite type of cheese is. Did you know that he actually doesn't eat a whole lot of cheese? I mean that is just so wrong! Everyone should eat cheese but on the other hand it means more for me," Nudge rambled I'm not sure what she said next since I kind of zoned her out.

Eventually the gasman came to my rescue by clamping his hand over Nudge's mouth.

"My hero," I laughed as I gave him a thankful smile. He waited until the sound of Nudge's muffled voice disappeared and let his hand go. Nudge took in a deep breath and her expression turned to a glare.

"You guys are so mean," She whined.

"Aw, Nudge, I'm sorry but you wouldn't shut up," Ethan apologised.

"But…" Nudge began.

"I will gas you," Ethan warned her immediately Nudge went silent.

"Hey, I'm here too," I protested.

"Sorry but it works," Ethan shrugged.

"Hmm," I shrugged in agreement.

"Hey peoples, what's happening?" A loud voice came from behind us.

"Hi, Iggy," We all replied in unison as if we were greeting a teacher. Fang, Nudge, The Gasman and I had all discussed that Iggy was trying to act cool. Maybe he was trying too hard but we were getting used to it.

"So whatcha been up to?" Iggy asked as he leaned against the wall. He ran his hand through his blonde hair and gazed at us with his blue eyes. Now that I thought about it Iggy and Fang were opposites.

Fang had dark hair and midnight eyes and Iggy had blonde hair and blue eyes like Ethan (they almost looked like brothers), Fang was dark and moody where as Iggy always seemed to be happy and was open about how he felt. I think I was a bit like all of them. I could close my self off but I also liked to say how I felt, I could talk a lot like Nudge and I had a lot in common with Ethan. I had dirty blonde hair and muddy eyes. I was Ethan, Fang's and Nudges height. I seemed to be all of them put together.

Before this year none of us hung out together apart from Iggy and Fang. I was starting to think that losing my old friends was the best thing that had ever happened to me.

"Well we haven't really been up to much, except I was explaining to Max how Ethan doesn't understand the importance of cheese in your daily diet and then…" Nudge trailed on before Ethan clamped his hand over her mouth again.

"Alright, alright I get the message," Nudge sighed.

"Finally!" We all sighed with relief.

"How long do you think she'll last?" Iggy asked me.

"About five minutes at the most," I smiled.

"Oh terrific!" Ethan complained.

"I am here you know, I can hear you," Nudge informed us.

"What's the big deal the bell will go soon?" I asked Ethan.

"Yeah for you its not a big deal but I have class with her… all… day… long!" Ethan exclaimed.

"Again I am still here!" Nudge huffed,

"That's a good point," Iggy continued completely ignoring Nudge.

Just then Fang walked up to us.

"Hey guys mum wants me to ask you all if you want to come over this weekend for movies?" He asked not too enthusiastically.

"Do you actually want us there?" I asked. Fang shrugged and nodded. Iggy, Nudge and Ethan all agreed to go but I was a bit hesitant.

"I'll think about it," I muttered and walked off.

"Max, wait!" Fang called but the bell went so I kept walking. He finally caught up to me at recess.

"Max, can I talk to you?" Fang asked me.

"What about?" I asked him.

"Do you not want to come over to my house or something?" He asked me straight out.

"It's not that, its' that you don't want me at your house," I explained to him.

"What who told you that?" Fang demanded.

"No-one they didn't have to, it wasn't that hard to figure out, you have Iggy over all the time but you haven't had the rest of us and it didn't sound like you wanted to," I explained to him trying not to feel hurt.

"Max, if I didn't want you there I wouldn't have asked you and told my mum that you couldn't make it," Fang laughed.

"You just didn't sound too happy about it this morning," I shrugged.

"Max, I'm eleven, I haven't had girls at my place really, in case you haven't noticed before I started talking to you I basically hung with Iggy and that was it," Fang pointed out.

I thought for a minute.

"So the issue is I'm a girl?" I demanded.

"Oh my god, Max, I'm not used to having girls over and am kind of nervous," Fang blurted out.

"That's really why you were so unsure this morning?" I checked.

"Yes I'm telling you the truth," Fang sighed.

"Ok I believe you," I laughed.

"Thank god," He sighed thankfully.

"You didn't swear this time," I noticed.

"I'm trying not to," He admitted.

I smiled at him.

"Fang," I began.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Thanks for telling me what was going on," I thanked him with a soft smile.

"Well I don't want to make a habit out of it, I have a reputation to hold up," He grumbled. I smiled to myself because I knew now that there was hope for Fang yet, maybe I could open him up. Maybe he just needed someone to talk to but didn't he have Iggy, why did he need me? All I knew was that I was starting to change around him and I wanted to help him.

A/N

Me: mymortalromances I hope you're happy Nudge was in this chapter and actually talking.

Fang: Please be happy please be happy.

Me: See even Fang's begging I mean literally he's on his knees. It's kinda cute.

Fang: I hate cute, I ain't cute
