Thank you so much for the reviews!

Here's the next chapter since I'm so happy right now

-Chapter three : What happens when you mix weird nicknames with overdramaticness?-

I took a deep breath when I felt a touch on my shoulder. Ella was smiling sadly at me.

"I know it's going to be hard Max, but remember, I'm always going to be here for you." I smile at her and we both bear hugged once more.

"I gotta go or Mr. Aston will probably chop my head off if I'm late." She waved goodbye and went inside the school. I took one more deep breath before entering myself. I was greeted by a woman who looked like 50. I got my schedule and a map of the school. I checked out my schedule and my map. Right now, I had to be in English class, room 101. I checked my map once more and started my way… And it didn't go too well. I ended up lost in less than 1 minute. Curse my weak sense of direction! I ruefully shook my fist above my head before hearing a low chuckle. I turned around to find myself face-to-chest with a black dude. Not being racist here, this guy only wore black clothes.

"Judging by that remark you just yelled, I'm guessing you're new here?" He asked me and I gaped at him, or well his chest. Did I say that out loud?

"Yes, you did." He replied and I mentally face-palmed. Not again.

"Sorry, just a bit nervous. First day in public school."

"I can see that. I'm Fang."

"Max."

"Max? Isn't that a boy's name?"

"Isn't Fang another word for tooth?" He chuckled and it made me smile as well.

"OK, I'll give you props for that. So, what class are you supposed to be in?"

"Room 101, English."

"Same here. Come on." He gestured to follow him and I did.

"English is taught Mr. Aston. He's cool but get on his bad side and you'll regret it badly." He explained and I nodded. Then, this thought occurred to me.

"Wait, doesn't Mr. Aston cut heads off if students are late?" He gaped at me for a while and smirked.

"How do you know Mr. Aston and his head cutting?" I shrugged.

"Just. So, tell me, are we going to be beheaded?"

"I guess we'll have to find out." He said and I realized that we were at room 101.

"Masters, I expect you to be a little earlier in the future." A deep voice, deeper than Fang's, says. I see Fang shrugging and he replies.

"Sorry Mr. Aston, just thought I would give the new girl some direction tips. She has a weak sense of direction." He smirked and winked subtly at me. I scowled but it turned into a smile.

"Ah, the new girl. Maxine Ride, is it?" Mr. Aston asked me once Fang got into his seat. I almost winced at the name.

"No, it's Maximum. Max for short." I corrected and he sighed.

"Great, another nickname I have to memorize. It was bad enough when Iggy, Nudge, and Fang came along. Now you?" He shook his head but I knew he was only joking because he had a playful look in his eyes.

"Well Max, you can just sit next to Iggy there. Iggy, can you raise your- Iggy!" He yelled and a strawberry blond haired boy jumped from his seat.

"Spiders want me to dance the tango!" Everyone laughed as Iggy was looking around for spiders. He sighed with relief as he realized there were no spiders and looked at me. He began to smile and waved his hands over his head.

"Newbie! You are sitting next to the one and only, moi!" I raised my eyebrow at him when I saw Fang behind him. He nodded at me with a look that said, 'don't worry. He's harmless.' I walked my way over to him and he bowed mockingly.

"Well, today is your lucky day because you have been assigned next to me! The one and only-"

"Griffiths, we already got that speech from when you woke up from that tango dream."

"It was a spider dream!"

"Ok, a spider dream." Mr. Aston sighed once more. "If only you could use that voice when you present something in class." Everyone in the room laughed once more. Fang nudged me from behind and I gave him a curious glance.

He pointed sideways and I looked casually to see what was up. Right there, a blond, blue eyed guy was staring attentively at me. He was hot, I had to admit, but by the way he sat and the way girls looked at him, he was obviously a player which I hated the most.

I gave him one of my death glares (if you have a job you hate so much but you're force to do it, you'll firgure out that there are more than 50 death glares) and he flinched slightly before regaining his posture. He gave the universal 'call me' sign but I looked away. Please. Like I was ever going to go out with him.

"Impressive glare you have." Fang complimented and I smirked at him.

"You should see my favorite one. I call it, 'Biggest mistake ever. Your punishment, you already dead.'" Fang chuckled at that and I was about to say something else when Iggy's voice rang out again.

"Holy frijoles, did Fang just chuckle? What kind of human being are you?" He dramatized while inspecting me from top to bottom. I smacked him on the forehead.

"Stop that!"

"Sorry, it's just that Fang rarely, but oh so rarely, also known to be called almost never and in a parallel universe to be called ham sandwiches… What were we talking about?"

"Um, you being an overdramatic drama queen?" He looked at me before smiling.

"Yup, she's definitely going to eat at our table." I smiled back and I realized two things. 1) Ella was in the same class and also laughing at Iggy's overreacting and 2) I may have actually made friends who didn't know who I really was.

R&R!

Mikki is out! Peace!
