Yellow. How is everyone doing? A lot has happened since I last updated. I broke my toe (or severely bruised) and I have to take a break from cross country. One Direction's new song Drag Me Down came out and that's all I'm listening to. I also think I got the most reviews for one chapter after the previous update!
Now it's time for: Replying to Reviews!
Flowersocks2137 said: So when is Fang going to learn about the secret or show Max his wings? Is the story going to end after Fang leaves because I am seriously addicted to this fanfiction and may die of a heart attack if you end it! So keep that in mind... For my health! :)
I say: I can't say anything :) But I will say that I have the whole story planned out and it does NOT end any time soon. (hopefully)
CRAZILIOUS said: I love it can u make the chapters longer...(other stuff i dont feel like typing)
I say: That chapter was a short mini chapter. Do you mean the chapters in general or just chapter 18?
swaglicous123 said: More! I love texas born and raised. Can the walkers live with the rides? what about dylan and max? Max and fang? Agg im like nudge (**).
I say: My phone doesn't support some of the fonts that you used so when I pulled it up on my phone it looked like this: o e! i Lo e t sr wh jdu. I live in texas too. That's why i chose for this story to take place here because i know the area well. No answers to the other questions but Dylan may or might not come back.
"Now class, if you add "x" to the left side of the equation it will balance out. Does anybody know how to..."
I yawned loudly, not paying any attention to today's lesson in class. I rubbed my eyes, picked up my number 2 mechanical pencil, and copied the equations on the board down into my notes.
"Can anyone come up and simplify this equation for me?" I heard the teacher ask.
Avoiding Mrs. Wilson's eye contact, I pretended to copy more equations in my notes when a piece of paper landed on my desk. I unfolded the paper and recognized Iggy's handwriting immediately.
Iggy: Are you okay?, it read.
I whispered a "yes" knowing he would be able to hear me. I then handed the paper back to him.
A minute later I found the paper back on my already messy desk.
Iggy: You don't look okay. Have you been getting sleep? Boy troubles? Ella and the you know what?
I sighed. Even blind Iggy had to look out for me. I know I'm his baby sister but still.
"I said I'm fine." I once again whispered. "Are you okay?"
I threw the paper back towards Iggy hoping he would catch it. Unfortunately it hit Fang square in the nose. His usually zoned out look became surprised for a second then went back to the unimpressed look. He looked around trying to find out who threw the paper when he saw me staring at him. He gave me one of his rare smiles and opened the paper. I turned back around.
"Max. Could you give me an example of a simplified equation?" Mrs. Wilson asked, catching me off guard.
Panicked, I looked down at my notes and repeated an equation she had gone over at the beginning of class.
"Good. But maybe next time you could give me an equation that we haven't gone over in class."
I heard Iggy and Fang snicker behind me.
"Shut up." I said louder than I intended too.
"What was that Max?" Mrs. Wilson questioned.
"Oh nothing ma'am." I said outloud.
"Okay then. Let's continue."
Luckily for me Mrs. Wilson doesn't have the best hearing.
After receiving our homework, the bell rang and we headed to lunch.
"So boy problems huh?" I heard a voice behind ask as I left the classroom.
"Fuck off Fang." I told him as soon as recognized his voice.
"Someone's feisty." He said while bumping into me.
"Sorry I'm just extremely tired." I said while yawning.
"How's Ella?"
"Happy. She's been hanging out with Iggy lately. She helps him with his homework and takes him to his classes. Then he cooks for her and they talk and stuff. Just no time for Ella and Max. It's always Ella and Iggy."
"You sound jealous."
"What? No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes. You are. You're jealous that your best friend prefers to hang out with your brother."
"Wow that's a lot of words Fang. Are you okay?"
"Fuck off Max." He told me.
"Wow someone's feisty." I teased.
He chuckled and took his seat at lunch.
Maybe I am jealous, I thought. She is my best friend after all. What kind of best friends don't hang out?
Once again I yawned loudly and put my head down. I just needed a few minutes of quiet at our table before Nudge-
"Hey Max are you okay?" I heard her ask.
I groaned and sat back up.
"She's having boy problems." Fang repeated.
I turned to him and punched him in the arm.
"No I'm just tired. We've been up late every night helping Ella settle in. Well I have. Ella's been with Iggy helping him." I told Nudge.
She nodded and then proceeded to opening her lunch box. I watched as she pulled out a sandwich, chips, cookies, and a fruit roll up. My stomach growled.
"Will someone come up with me to the lunch line?" I asked outloud. I didn't like to go alone.
"I'll go." Fang said while getting up. As soon as we started walking I heard some shout "Wait!"and I watched as Gazzy sprinted towards us.
"I need Fang." He told me.
"After we go to the lunch line."
"No I need him now." Gazzy repeated.
"Okay I'll wait here." I said crossing my arms.
"No. I mean- Ugh. Nudge go with Max to the lunch line." Gazzy commanded.
Nudge got up and started walking.
"Let's go Max." she told me.
I didn't start walking. I watched Gazzy pull Fang to the side.
"Have you told her yet?" Gazzy questioned.
Fang shook his head.
Before I could hear Fang's response Nudge was pulling me away towards that lunch line.
They're hiding something, I thought. And I'm gonna find out what it is.
"What do you think Fang and Gazzy are talking about?" I asked Nudge.
"Nothing." she said too quickly. "If anything it's probably girl problems. So anyway how's Ella doing? Is she settling in well? Homesick yet? What about Iggy? How's he adjusting? I don't think I could ever survive if I became blind. I couldn't possibly succeed in life. Do you-"
"Iggy's fine." I told her. "He has this new app that reads out everything for him and he already knew the braille system. Ella is also fine." I quickly grabbed a sandwich and chips. After paying I hurried back to the table, not wanting to hear anymore of Nudge's questions. I sat back down next to Fang. Looking around I saw everyone was having their own conversations. Ella and Iggy were talking and sitting close to each other. Thigh to thigh and shoulder to shoulder. Gazzy and Nudge were talking too. Is there something between them? I thought. B, Anabel, and Angel were talking in hushed voices. They kept looking over at Lissa and Maggie. That left me and Fang.
"What was that about?" I asked, turning towards him.
"Hmmm?"
"The thing with Gazzy."
"Oh. Nothing."
"Are you sure?" I questioned, not believing him.
"Yes I'm sure."
We sat in silence for a few moments.
"Max?"
"Fang?"
"Do you want to come do something with me this weekend?"
I gulped.
"Like a date?" I asked nervously. "Because I don't see you in that way."
"No no no." he reassured me. "An activity."
"What kind of activity?"
"Well I know how much you love football and all. Let's just say I was able to score some tickets to the Texans game." He said with another rare smile.
"Holy crap really?!" I exclaimed with excitement.
He nodded still smiling.
"I would love to! Oh my God! This is amazing how did you get the tickets?" I rambled.
"I have my ways." he said mysteriously.
All of a sudden Lissa slammed her ring covered hands down on our table.
We all stopped talking and turned our heads to her.
"So Iggy," she started, "How about you come over this weekend? We can hang."
We were all silent. I looked at a very uncomfortable Iggy.
"Lissa, I have a girlfriend." He said, putting his long arm around my best friend.
"Oh I see." Lissa said, not disturbed by this. "That still doesn't mean you can't come over."
"It kinda does." Iggy said, confused.
"Fine. What about you Gazzy?"
"Sorry Lissa I have plans." Gazzy said, avoiding eye contact.
"With whom?" Lissa questioned.
"Uhhh... Nudge!" he said quickly. Nudge's eyes went wide showing she had no idea that she was hanging out with Gazzy this weekend. "We are going to... Kemah Boardwalk."
If you don't know what Kemah Boardwalk is, it's a smaller scaled carnival on the water side. There are rides and games along with restaurants. We hadn't been there in forever.
"Tragic that you can't come." Lissa replied. "Fang?"
"Nope." Fang said, popping the p.
"Why not?"
"I don't want to."
"Can I help you change your mind?"
"No."
"Why not?" a suddenly irritated Lissa said.
"I have plans." Fang replied as if it were obvious.
"With whom?" Lissa demanded.
"Max." Fang said plainly.
Everyone's eyes turned to me. I felt my face turn red. Wait. Why was I embarrassed? We weren't dating. We weren't going on a date. We were going to a football game as friends.
"Well then you should definitely cancel your plans with her and spend the night at my house."
"I think I'll keep my plans with Max." Fang said cooly.
Saving us from having to spend anymore time with Lissa, the bell rang. I immediately got up and hurried to my next class.
"You're going on a date with Fang?!" Angel screamed in my ear as soon as I had exited the cafeteria.
"No. We're just hanging out this weekend." I reassured her.
"Sure." Angel said with an arm cross and an eyebrow raise. "Just call me if anything goes wrong."
"I won't need to call you because there's nothing between us!" I shouted down the hall towards her, "We're just friends!"
As soon as Angel walked away I groaned and leaned against the wall. I watched Ella and Iggy walk by holding hands, Nudge and Gazzy laughing, B and Anabel talking to Maggie, and then an angry Lissa stomp towards me.
"So Max, you and Fang." She started.
"No. Don't start it. We aren't dating we're just hanging out. If you want to date him go for it I don't care. Just not this weekend. Really. Did you not just hear me yell at Angel?" I bursted out.
"Who's Angel?" Lissa asked, confused.
I sighed. How could she want to date Fang if she didn't even know who his siblings were?
"Nevermind." I said, shaking my head. "Date Fang for all I care. Just not this weekend."
"Good." She said with an evil smile. "Maggie! Stop talking to those losers and let's go!" Lissa called out. She snapped her fingers to get Maggie's attention, as if Maggie were a dog. Maggie scrambled over to Lissa and they headed to their next class.
Thankfully the rest of the day went by fast. Classes zoomed by and before I knew it Gazzy was driving me home. He had finally gotten his permit the other day. I told him he could drive my car as long as I gave him permission.
It was just Gazzy and I coming home from school. Iggy and Ella wanted to stay after school to finish some project up.
All of a sudden the car jerked forward.
"Careful!" I shouted. "If you break my car you're going to pay for a new one."
"Yeah I know I know." Gazzy reassured me. "I wish Iggy was with us. I miss building bombs with him. Sometimes I wish Ella had never moved in."
"Me too." I agreed.
I recalled back on the conversation Fang and I had before lunch. I am greedy, I admitted to myself. I am greedy and selfish. I always want. I want this, I want that. But right now I want my bestfriend back. I helped her move in while she was messing around with Iggy. I at least deserve some time with her. Along with greed and selfishness, I am jealous. Jealous that Ella rather hang out with Iggy than me. But the problem with jealousy is, once it starts, it never stops.
