Okay, I've decided to update for one specific reason: Random Peep! Since it's their birthday, I feel like I should update for them. :D.

Anyway, I know a few of you are upset about Ella's attitude, being the 'mean girl', but she was pretty much the only person who could fit in the "Shelby Comings" mean girl spot. Nudge probably would've worked too, but quite frankly, I'm not as attached to Ella as I am Nudge, so I didn't want to make her mean. Sorry. :/

Ch. 2:

Fang POV

From ILostIt…Again: Yeah, I'm at school. Not that I'd ever tell you who I am. ;)

I smirked at the message Lost sent me. She was always going on about how we were never going to meet each other. I guess that's where some of the appeal came from. Is it bad to like someone you met over the Internet? Oh sorry, I didn't notice. I was stuck in the land of I-don't-care.

CladInBlack: Then how are we going to live happily ever after?

I responded quickly and glanced around at all the girls texting away on their phones. There was Ella, my real girlfriend, but I was pretty much positive she was not Lost. Ella and I no longer had that spark we used to in freshman year. She probably knew as well as I did, but dating me boosted her ego too much for her to drop me. Then there was Sydney Ellis, who was typing away on her Blackberry. Way too nerdy. Lissa Ride… yeah right. She can't even string together a sentence that makes sense. My eyes caught sight of an older looking silver phone. Tracing my eyes upward, I noticed the brown gunk covering the girl's shirt.

Ah, yes. This could be no one but Maximum Ride herself. She was pretty enough, the kind you get without trying, but she seemed much too introverted to be Lost. Lost was funny and sarcastic, not that I always understood it, and to be honest I didn't know Maximum Ride. But she didn't seem the Lost type. Lost seemed like she'd be crowded with friends. Maximum Ride had three.

Not that I blamed Max for it, not at all. If I could be in her position, I would. Being football captain and class president no longer had the same appeal it did to me in freshman year, but I still did it. My dad had this fantasy that I would go to USC on football scholarship, then when my four years were over, I'd come back and work with him at the grocery store he owns, Hunter Creek Groceries.

Max seemed to notice my gaze on her, because she was glaring daggers at me. I took that as my cue to, as student body president, walk over and help her.

"Hi Max." I said with all the politeness I could muster.

"What do you want?" She asked venomously, sneaking glances at her phone and making me wonder who was on the other end.

"Follow me." I said and began to walk toward the school office. She raised an eyebrow and reluctantly trailed behind me. As we stopped in front of the office, she frowned.

"I didn't do anything wrong. I swear I didn't deck Ella." She said. Deck Ella?

"Uh… no. We're here for the lost and found. To get you a new shirt?" I said in a duh tone.

She glared. "And you care about me… why?"

I shrugged. "Student body president."

"Of course." She muttered before we said curt goodbyes and she entered the giant office building.

I walked away, shaking my head at Maximum Ride's antics. See what I mean? Way too introverted. I couldn't even help her without her death glaring at me twice. It bewildered me why Iggy, who was a pretty cool guy, stuck around her, but I wasn't him and I didn't know.

From ILostIt…Again: Sorry for the late response. An idiotic bafoon held me up.

CladInBlack: Someone on the football team?

I knew that was probably who she was referring to. Everyone on 'my' team was a complete idiot jock. Even my friends, which made hanging out with them that much harder.

ILostIt…Again: Yup. I despise them.

I knew what she meant. Technically, I didn't despise them all because I don't despise me, but they were pretty much all lacking brain cells.

My vision trailed across the campus once more, looking for Lost, but all I found were the same people on phones as before. Only this time, Max was wearing a baggy P.E. T-shirt from the lost and found instead of her old one.

I shook my head from all thoughts of Maximum Ride, Ella, or football jerks. Unfortunately, that didn't last long because my 'best buds' came up to me that moment.

"Hey Fang!" Dylan said, clapping me on the back.

"Sup man?" Sam followed up, imitating Dylan's gesture.

As much as I wanted to yell at them and tell them that hitting my back as hard as they could was a barbaric gesture, I didn't.

I settled for a shrug and a small, "Not much."

"Hey… did you see Ella today?" Dylan asked. "She's looking nice, dude."

"Cool." I responded, resisting the urge to role my eyes at the topic of conversation. If Lost were here, she would probably have already said something witty enough that Dylan and Sam wouldn't get it, but would still be offended.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

I practically sighed in relief that the daily bulletin bell had gone off and that I didn't need to carry on with this conversation.

"Hello dragons!" The same peppy voice as always filled the speakers. Of course, Monique Williams. More commonly known as Nudge. "Today at lunch the epic basketball staff versus kids battle is going on, don't miss it! Don't forget to clean up all your trash at lunch, keep pollution to a minimum." You could almost here the 'blah, blah, blah' in her voice as she talked about pollution. "Oh! Today is the day of auditions for Romeo and Juliet! Release your inner actor or actress on stage. Last, and most importantly, is everyone psyched for the Halloween dance?" I heard a chorus of cheers around me. "Well, I know I am. Get your costume and buy your tickets to the dance in the office. That's it for today, dragons." Nudge's voice cut off and I thought over the school bulletin.

Nothing too monumental there. As for the Halloween dance, I was going with Ella. She wanted to do a partner costume, but when I refused to be Ken to her Barbie, that idea was tossed out the window.

That's when an idea sparked inside of me. It would involve two things I've been looking forward to for a long time. Dumping Ella and meeting Lost.

Now, just how can I pull this off?

Yes! Good, bad? Tell me in a review, people! I LOVE YOU ALL! :D
