Chapter 28- Nudge's trouble

A/N

Hey everyone I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while I've been busy and I've had writers block. So here it is and don't forget that when you've finished to press the review button and review

YAY!

When Nudge arrived we disappeared into my room. I was hoping that she would just blurt out what was going on so that I didn't have to ask in case I was wrong and I hate being wrong. Nudge was strangely quiet. She barely said a word and hello it's Nudge! Finally she spoke.

"Alright, Max, you didn't just ask me over to do our dumb title pages,"

"What's going on with you and Gazzy?" I blurted out.

"Nothing," She replied quickly.

"I saw you glare at him," I confessed. Nudge looked down at her paper and bit her bottom lip.

"Ok… you promise you won't tell a soul?" She asked me with trusting dark eyes.

"I promise," I promised her.

"I like Gazzy," She admitted,

"Then why were you glaring at him?" I asked.

"Because I was jealous that he was talking to Ella. It's not the first time, he used to be with me all the time and suddenly he changed to hanging out with Ella all the time," Nudge explained. She looked like she was about to cry.

"Oh,"

"I don't want to be jealous because they're both good friends and I don't want to start hating Ella. I think he likes her but I know that the both of you aren't allowed to date," She continued.

"Nudge, it'll be ok," I said as I placed a comforting arm around her shoulder.

I knew what it felt like to fall for someone you knew you could never have. I at least didn't have to torture of watching him like someone else that he was really close to. It did look like Gazzy could possibly like Ella and I felt sorry for him. Ella is terrific but she can't date. I was just grateful that I was over Fang.

"Do you know how long it's been since Gazzy even offered to buy me cheese?" Nudge cried. I was thankful that Ella wasn't home.

"No," I sighed.

"Even if I didn't like him it would still hurt because he kind of ignores me now." Gazzy didn't exactly ignore Nudge; it was just that he spent less time with her now. I could see how that would feel like being ignored since they were really close.

"So what are you going to do?" I asked her.

"I just have to move on, what else is there to do?" Nudge shrugged. I pulled her into a hug. It hurt to see her in so much pain.

"Max, thanks for asking me over so that you could pester me for information," Nudge thanked me. It was the weirdest thankyou I had ever received.

"No problem but I would tell him that you feel ignored," I suggested.

"I probably should," Nudge agreed.

The next day I saw Nudge talk to Gazzy but he didn't seem to be getting the message. Fang saw the look of frustration on my face and followed my gaze.

"What's going on over there?" Fang asked me. I explained that Nudge was feeling ignored but left out her feelings towards

"Oh no, I know that look, Max, stay out of it," Fang warned me.

"I can't," I whined.

"Yes, you can," Fang warned me. I saw Nudge quickly leave Gazzy shaking her head.

"Max, stay out of it," Fang warned me.

"I can't," I whined and I headed towards Gazzy.

"Gazzy!" I called.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"How dare you?" I demanded of him.

"What did I do? I'm not ignoring her," Gazzy told me.

"I know your not ignoring her, it's just that you're spending less time with her to spend time with someone else," I explained.

"Huh?" Gazzy asked me.

"You guys are close but suddenly while you don't ignore her you don't talk to her as much as you used to," I explained.

"You're right," Gazzy sighed.

"Duh, now go fix it," I insisted. Gazzy walked off and I returned to Fang.

"He's alive, it's a miracle!" Fang cried. I tapped him on the arm. I was against violence. Well at least I thought I should be. I didn't really know what I thought or believed. I think I mainly let everyone else tell me what to think. Mum always said hitting, even if it's joking is wrong.

"Shut up, Fang," I glared at him.

"So what did you tell him?" Fang asked me.

"I just told him that it only looked like ignoring because he doesn't really talk to her a lot anymore," I shrugged.

"Yes he does. He doesn't ignore her," Fang argued.

"Fang, you're a guy… I'm assuming so you wouldn't get the little things that make girls feel ignored ok, so it's best just to leave it." I sighed.

It was weird Fang and I were so different, he was cut off and had a bit of a temper (thinking back to the incident with the cricket bat) and I was emotional and liked to talk about how I felt. Yet we got along so well. Mum liked Fang but she wasn't happy that people thought we were dating. She said that if they thought that we must've been doing something to make them think like that.

It never occurred to her that sometimes people were just immature, when I pointed this out and she said that they never thought it about me and Iggy. I informed her that while I was close to Iggy I was a lot closer to Fang. Yeah that didn't work when she said that that was her point.

I watched as Nudge finally turned to speak to Gazzy I could see in her deep chocolate eyes she was hurt. I couldn't hear what Gazzy was saying but after a couple of minutes her face softened and she eventually smiled at him. He dropped his head in what looked like an apology and I smiled happily to myself.

"She this is what happens when I get involved," I grinned to Fang.

"It could've gone the other way, Max," Fang warned me.

"But it didn't," I smirked.

"But it could've,"

"But it didn't,"

"But it could've,"

"Alright, alright break it up," Iggy suddenly appeared and stepped between me and Fang.

"What are you two arguing about now?" Ella sighed.

"Them two," We replied in unison as we pointed at Nudge and Gazzy who were walking towards us.

"What did we do?" Nudge asked us.

"They're fighting over you," Ella told them.

"Max, I had no idea that you felt that way about me," Gazzy joked.

"Mum, how could you cheat on Dad?" Iggy demanded.

"Kill me!" I begged Fang.

"No, you're my favourite, remember," Fang reminded me.

"Yeah, um ok?" I answered.

"So why were you arguing?" Nudge asked me.

"We weren't, Fang just overreacted to a completely harmless situation," I explained.

"I didn't over react," Fang butted in.

"Yes you did," I insisted.

"I did not," He argued.

"You did to,"

"Did not,"

"Did to,"

"Did not,"

"Did to,"

"Did not,"

"Did to,"

"Guy's, guy's cut it out," Gazzy tried as Fang's and my voices got louder and louder and angrier.

"Seriously," Nudge agreed.

"You fight over everything," Ella sighed.

"Eh who cares it's not like they're serious or anything. They love each other," Iggy shrugged.

"We what?" Fang and I screamed. Fang and I turned to each other and began speaking at the same time again.

"Did you say something to Iggy? We don't do we? Wait do you? What are we on about? Should we just shut up? Phew," We asked each other together.

"You're sounding like me!" Nudge squealed.

"Oh brother," Fang sighed.

"Did you guy's hear about the new girl that's coming to school tomorrow?" Iggy asked us.

"Girl? I thought we were getting a boy?" I questioned.

"I heard it was a boy and a girl," Nudge pitched in.

"This conversation is freaking me out," Fang said as he stepped back.

"I guess we'll find out tomorrow," Gazzy shrugged.

"Yeah, Iggy wants a girl and Max wants a guy… hmm this could get interesting," Nudge smirked evilly.

"Never said I wanted a guy… I just said that I thought we were getting a guy," I insisted.

"Yeah," Iggy agreed.

"Well you agree on one thing and that is that we're getting a new student." Fang said and closed the argument.

I liked it when we got more students. It meant that there were more people to get to know and if you got them before they got in with kids like Mel then you were all good.
