EDITED*

Chapter seventeen is here! Someone asked why it's grade two, not second grade. I can change it, it's just everyone says grade two around where I live. Sorry bout that!Pearl- Fang is still pissed about the emo comment. He's even brought a bowl if meatballs with him.

Dragon- ...Okay, anyways I don't own Maximum Ride, just this plot. Sorry if this chapter seems fillerish, it's supposed to.
Pearl- Fang's emo.
Fang- *throws meatball

Disclaimer: I no own Maximum Ride.


Fang POV

"Fang Ride! Honestly?" Mom yelled.

Iggy just face palmed. We were sitting at the breakfast table. Nudge was still upstairs doing her hair. She thinks you need to look model perfect for school. Me, I jut put in whatever is clean and black. Back to the situation.

"I panicked! Iggy told me to-" I abruptly stopped. Mom didn't need to know about my Maximum sized Max crush.

"-Tell Max he looooooves her!" Iggy finished.

"Noooooo!" I wailed. Okay, so I didn't wail. But I wailed in my head. I mean, I didn't wail out loud.

"Ooh? Really now?" Mom smirked. "I guess we can do lunch. I'll forget I even heard what Iggy said."


"Fang? Can I talk to you?" I was at my locker at the end of the school day. I turned around and almost dropped my homework. It was Lissa. She didn't squeal. Or pin me to the lockers.

"Um," I turned to where the Flock was waiting for me to walk with them. To my utmost surprise it was Max that waved me towards Lissa.

"We can wait," she mouthed.

"Sure." I answered Lissa.

She grabbed my hand and tugged me outside to where some benches were. I noticed she had jeans on. Not jean short shorts, about knee length. Her hair was up in a ponytail and she had a button up shirt tied in the middle over a tank top. Not normal Lissa attire.

"Look Fang, stop checking me out." She stopped and say in a bench.

"I wasn't." I defended.

"Sure. Anyways, I wanted to ask you about Max."

"Not you too!" I threw my hands up in the air.

She raised an eyebrow. "Don't interrupt. As I was saying, do you like her?"

"Y-no." I blushed."No."

She just rolled her eyes and muttered, "You guys are made for each other. I know you are and if you break her heart, I will make sure there will never be any mini Fangs." she threatened.

"Uh, what's with the different attitude?" I asked.

"Please, I know you remember the incident. Max has taken me in as her friend again." Lissa looked quite happy at this.

"Uh..." I was speechless. "How do you know I-"

"Remember? I just do. Not my fault you both got head injuries. Well, it's half my fault." She conceded.

"I was not!" I protested.

"What color are her eyes?" Lissa suddenly asked me.

"Brown like chocolate. Warm chocolate and-" I cursed. "Okay, so what?"

"As her friend, I'm warning you, first time she comes crying to me about you, you. Are. Dead." she then flounced off with a little wave. I just walked back to the flock and ignored their queries about Lissa.

At home, Mom met us at the door. The Martinez's waved as they walked to their house.

"Hi mom! I had a great day! I got a perfect score in science and a 98 percent in Math! And a cute guy asked me to sit with him at Lunch!" Nudge smiled and bolted into house. I could still hear her babbling to no one.

"Fang, we are having lunch with the Martinez's and the Walkers tomorrow. It's a half day at school so we are going to have a BBQ in our back yard." She glared at Iggy and me. "No food fights." she warned.

"Yeah yeah, I'll go tell Max." Iggy loped over next door.

"I'll call Anne." Mom hurried inside.

"I guess I'll just um, do my homework." I said to no one.


I sat at my desk. I could NOT focus on my socials homework. I watched through my window as Iggy talked and laughed with Max. I felt jealous. I had been her friend! I sighed. I wasn't going to think about Max for an hour. I thought to myself. An. Hour.

I looked at the clock and tried to finish my homework. Not succeeding.


Max POV

"Max," Iggy said to me. "Stop looking at our house. Fang isn't going to appear if you stare at his window."

"Yeah, I know." I sighed. "I hope he never remembers." I mutter.

"Um..." Iggy flushed.

"Iggy?" I said in a warning tone. "What was the um?"

"Nothing! Nothing at all! Gotta go, gotta go finish my Sath, I mean my Mocials Studies. Um, Math. Social Studies, whatever." he ran.

I just shrugged and walked back into my house. Iggy told me we were all walking from school to his house, where we were all going to have a BBQ.

I walked into my room and flung myself onto my bed. My clock read four oh six pm. I had no homework so naturally, I was bored, nothing to do.

My computer seemed to be beckoning to me, so I sat myself in the chair and waited for it to turn on. When it did I typed in YouTube and searched All to Myself. I needed music whenever I was on the computer.

I opened more tabs. One of them was Cassandra Clare's tumblr. I looked for casting info. The Mortal Instruments is my absolute favourite series and I hoped someone hot was playing Jace. Some dude called Jamie Campbell Bower was and he wasn't who I would have picked, but whatever. My dream was to be an author when I grow up.

Another tab open was Facebook. I logged in and decided to look at Lissa's page. I smiled as I realized she had defriended about two hundred people and had sent me a friend request. I accepted and smirked as she immediately sent me a message.

Max. You got out of shopping yesterday, it won't happen again. Get your butt to the mall. Ella and Nudge are already there.

I had faked a headache and gotten out of it yesterday. No escaping now.

K I'm going.

"Going to the mall mom!" I yelled as I climbed into the blue Mazda family car and drove to the mall.


"There you are Max!" Ella waved me over to their table in the food court.

"When did you leave the house Ell?" I asked.

"While you were talking to Iggy." she blushed at his name.

"Well, let's go shopping!" Lissa squealed.

They dragged me to Aeropostale and Garage. None of the swim suits they had shoved at me stood out, until I caught sight of a purple one piece. It was low necked and the back was exposed.

"I want that one." I pointed. Lissa grabbed it and walked up to the cash register.

"I'm paying." she insisted as I opened my mouth to protest. "Any others you like?"

I scanned the dimly lit store and saw a turquoise bikini. I normally wouldn't have gotten it, but I knew what Lissa was going for. Fang catching swim suits. it was turquoise with little bows on the sides of the bottom piece. Nothing totally revealing, which I liked.

"That one!" I got it and Lissa payed.

"One more Max." Ella came up to me with a huge smile. She was holding a...

"This one Max! Pleeeease?" I knew why she had begged. It was so-so-

"Skimpy and un Max like." Lissa looked at it, cocking an eyebrow. "Great!" she grabbed it from Ella and payed for it.

"Ella!" I said horrified. The swimsuit wasn't just a bikini. It was a string bikini. It showed a LOT of cleavage and was hot pink. I don't do hot pink.

"Come on Max! Fang will love you! I mean, he already does, but he'll admit it if you wear it! It's cute and hello! You have the boobs to pull it off! If you got it, flaunt it!" Nudge prattled.

"Fine." I sighed. "But the first time it falls off, I'm burning it."

All the girls grumbled but agreed. Nudge hooked her arm with mine. "I think we should go get Max some sunglasses."

"i can do sunglasses." I shrugged as they led me to a store. For you information, we all knew bout the trip, except for the boys and the Walkers.

I ended up with a pair of dark purple, big sunglasses, jean shorts, a button up thin shirt to tie on my swim suits and a couple sundresses.

"Thanks guys. And thank you Lissa for paying." Lissa had insisted on paying for all my stuff. But I fought to buy the expensive dress.

"Welcome!" they chorused. We all piled into my car, since they had taken the bus.


"How was shopping today girl's?" Mom asked us at the dinner table.

"Great!" Ella chirped. I just mumbled a great as I stared at my pizza.

"Faaaaang! Give that back!" Max tried to reach up to get her stolen pizza, but was too short. True to his word, Fang had grown.

"No, I don't think I will." he smirked and bit into it.

"Now it has cooties!" Max mock just continued smirking while Max silently counted to three. At three, she pounced on top of him.

"Hey!" Fang protested as she tried to tug it out of his mouth with her teeth. No, not the pieces in his mouth, the half sticking out. She triumphantly held up the piece she had tore off.

"Why are you so heavy? Have you been eating rocks?" Fang groaned as she got off him.

"Your head missing some?" Max replied.

I bit into my pizza in silence. Mom misinterpreted it as displeasure at her pizza making.

"Max, if you don't like the pizza, you don't have to eat it," she said gently.

"No, it's fine mom, I love it." I smiled a weak smile and continued eating, not even knowing what kind of pizza I was eating.

So. School. *Shudder* I'll be busy busy busy, just like all other fanfiction writers. It would be a tremendous amount of help if you guys liked or friended my Facebook. Dragonpurple Pearl. It doesn't take anytime to write a post, as opposed to writing a story. I'll be posting when I'm going to upload a story, I'll have snippets and I can tell you guys whether I'm posting that week.
