A/N: I KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR A REALLY LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND THE ONLY EXCUSE I HAVE IS THAT I HAVE HAD SO MANY THINGS IN MY MIND THAT I SLOWLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS. HOWEVER, NOW I AM BACK AND I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND WITH TWO THINGS.

ONE: I HAVE DECIDED THAT THIS IS THE ONLY STORY I AM GOING TO FINISH AND PUT THE OTHERS ON HIATUS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THIS STORY FEELS LIKE THE ONLY ONE WHERE MY SKILLS ARE SHOWN AND THE OTHERS ARE MORE LIKE CHILD'S PLAY. I AM NOT GIVING IT UP FOR ADOPTION THOUGH, MIND YOU, BUT I MAY DELETE THE STORIES ENTIRELY OR REWRITE THEM (BUT IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO DO SO)

TWO: I WILL BEGIN ANOTHER STORY SOON AFTER THIS CHAPTER IS UPDATED. IT IS ABOUT FANG BEING DISCOVERED AS A SINGER AT A YOUNG AGE WHILE HIS BEST FRIEND MAX SEES THE CHANGES HOLLYWOOD HAS DONE TO HIM. THE MOMENT HE STOPS MESSAGING HER ENTIRELY, SHE KNOWS HE IS GONE FOR GOOD. WHEN A SCANDAL HITS, FANG HAS TO ATTEND SENIOR YEAR AT MAX'S SCHOOL. WHEN THEY FINALLY MEET THOUGH, HE EXPECTS HER TO DROOL. INSTEAD, HE GETS PUNCHED IN THE FACE.

I JUST WANT ALL OF YOU TO KNOW THAT I NEVER WANTED FOR YOU GUYS TO WAIT SO LONG FOR THIS. IT IS AMAZING THAT YOU GUYS STILL HAD FAITH IN ME WHEN I WAS LOSING IT. THIS IS SOMETHING I CAN NEVER REPAY YOU GUYS ENOUGH FOR. I LOVE YOU ALL AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS CHAPTER...

-Chapter 17: It finally comes out, doesn't it?-

It's been 2 weeks since I found out that it was Fang's psychotic ex-girlfriend was secretly my secretary. We got a new one, well Anne did, and that was that. I told her to text me 1 hour earlier every time there was a photo shoot so I wouldn't forget and actually get there in time. Before we got the new secretary though, which was after a week the incident happened, I had 3 photo shoots which I forgot to go to. Anne got so fed up with me, she told me that if I missed or was even late for one more photo shoot, she would personally go to my school and announce to everyone that I was Maxine Martinez. I sadly admit that I cowered and told her I understood. I did not want to mess my chance. I was finally living my dream to be a normal girl. And I was not going to jeopardize it.

"So, it's Thursday" Fang states as we were walking down the hall to your last class.

"Yeah, it is." I tell him, raising my eyebrow in the process. His tone said something but I couldn't quite understand it.

"So…"

"So…"

Max, come on! It's Friday!" He exasperates while throwing his hands up in the air.

"Yeah it is! Fang, just tell me what's on your mind. I have no idea what you're talking about."

"I'm talking about just you and me today." Oh, so that's why his tone was like that.

"Which means?"

"Are you going to make me say it?"
"Yes, because I know it will make you blush." I smirk as his cheeks turn slightly red.

"Fine. Max, would you like to go with me to Les Miserables?" He said as he shows me tickets. No fucking way. I always wanted to see the play but could never go because A) I had no time and B) they don't have time (and seats for that matter).

"How the hell did you get these?" I ask in disbelief.

"I have my sources."

"No, I can't go. This must have cost like, a million freaking dollars! No way am I going to this without repaying you. Tell me how much you spent."

"Max, I'm asking you out on a date and if you try to pay me back, I'd be breaking the Man Law."

"Man Law?"

"Yes, Man Law."

"There's a thing called a Man Law?"

"Yes."

"I'm gonna have to ask Iggy on that." He chuckles slightly as he gives me a ticket.

"So, will you join me?" He asks and I am about to say yes a hundred times when I remember my other (stupid, annoying) life. Do I have a photo shoot today? I don't think so but then again, I could never trust my instinct when it came to this.

"I'll have to get back to you on that." I say and I can see his hope disappearing.

"Max, are you honestly saying that you're going to miss the chance to see Les Mis? The one play you've always wanted to see?" I give a hopeless shrug before entering the classroom. Once seated, I take out my phone and quickly text my secretary.

Do I have something today? She quickly texts me back.

No, today you are completely free. The text says and I am overjoyed. I yell out a Whoopie really loudly when I realize that I am still in class. With students. With the teacher. Whom they are all staring at me weirdly. I apologize profoundly but give a big smile at Fang. He knows that I can go. His face has a smile as well now.

"So, I'll pick you up at 7?" He asks me and I nod. If you're wondering why I just nodded, let me tell you. I decided that I trusted Fang enough to show him my address now. Of course, before I showed him, I made sure my house didn't scream Max is actually the person you hate the most! When I showed him the mansion, he gaped at it for so long; I thought he was swapped into a robot. I showed him the house, my room (once more), the kitchen, the living room… You get the idea. So, this is why I just nodded.

"I can't wait for Les Mis." I said and I went home. For the first time in my life, I was going to get ready to be pretty, not for the shoot, but for something completely different. But I can't do it alone because everyone knows I am horrible in fashion and makeup. I called the two best people for this job. I text them and soon enough, in exactly 5 minutes, they come rushing in.

"OK, so we have exactly 4 hours to make you all pretty. Take a shower. We'll have all the stuff ready."

"Use the scented shampoo!" I roll my eyes at Nudge and Ella but oblige. When I come out of the shower, they have turned my room into a beauty salon. I just look at them in utter amazement. Half my room is filled with makeup and the other half is filled with clothes.

"Wow." Is the only word I say.

"No time for gaping Max! You've wasted exactly 5 minutes in the shower. Let's go, go, go!" Yup. They turned my room in this in 5 minutes. How they did that, I will never know.

Exactly at 6:55, they are finished with everything and I have to admit, I look stunning. They did so much better than my actual beauty people do every time I have a photo shoot.

"Nudge, I think she's ready for her date." Ella says with a smug look on her face.

"ZOMG, Max, you are going to be the most beautiful person in the whole theater. I feel like a lot of guys are going to look your way but then again, I also think Fang won't let them even look at you. Oh my god, do you think his eyes are going to bulge out? We could, like, totally record his expression and we would laugh at it forever! You think –" I cut off her.

"Nudge, I think that's enough talking for you. And thank you guys so much. If it weren't for you guys, I would have ended up looking like a potato." They all hug me and that is when the doorbell rings.

"Ella, bring the camera. This is going to be good." Nudge says with a mischievous smile. I nod in agreement. This is going to be good.

We all rush to the door and I make them hide behind it. I take a deep breath and open the door.

"Hey Fang." I say and all he has to give me is the dumbest look I have ever seen from him. Before he can change it, Nudge and Ella jump out and takes a picture and records a video. His look disappears immediately but it is too late. We already got it. We are all laughing our heads off while he blushes angrily. I calm down and take his arm.

"I believe we have a play to see." I say and he gladly takes it.

"I'll get you for that." He whispers and I chuckle slightly.

"Of course you will. Come on, we don't want to be late now, do we?" I say and he escorts me to his car. This is going to be the perfect night. I turn off my phone before we enter the theater. Wouldn't want any distractions.

The next day

"It's Friday, Friday!" Nudge sings and we all cringe.

"Nudge! We do not want to sing that song, ok?" Gazzy yells at her and she yells back.

"Who cares if that's the number one hated song! I think it's good! Not as good as Rebecca Black's Saturday song but it's still good!" She says and keeps humming the song to herself.

"Thank god it's Friday, right?" Fang whispers and I smile and nod.

"We need an epic party tonight. Hey guys!" I yell at the rest. They all look at me with somewhat hopeful eyes. "Why don't we party tonight?" They all scream with joy and agreement.

"Party at my place! Done and done!" Nudge declares and we all high five each other. This was going to be awesome. School was already finished and we were all walking to the exit when the doors suddenly slam open and two buff bodyguards come in. Everyone inside the school stares in confusion and surprise while the bodyguards scan the area. Their eyes soon land on me and I know this is going to be bad.

"MAXINE MARTINEZ! I AM DONE WITH YOUR SKIPPING ONCE AND FOR ALL! YOU WILL COME OUT HERE SILENTLY OR DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES!" Oh god, please do not tell me that it is my witch of a mother with a bullhorn, screaming my stage name. Please don't say it is.

"I WILL GIVE YOU TO THE COUNT OF THREE. IF YOU DON'T COME OUT BY THEN, YOU WILL DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES. ONE! THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR SKIPPING THE PHOTOSHOOT!" I can't go. Everyone will see that it is me. The Maxine Martinez. I can't risk it.

"TWO! THIS WHAT YOU GET FOR LYING TO THOSE WHO TRUSTED YOU, DOUBLE M!" Shit, she even said my most famous stage name. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. No, I'm still not going to budge.

"THREE! THAT'S IT! BOYS, TAKE HER AWAY!" The bodyguards spring to life and they charge directly towards me. I try to run but they already catch me by the arms. I struggle helplessly and when I realize that I can't get out of their grips, I look back to my best friends. Everyone looks shocked, but they all have different types. Angel, Gazzy, and Iggy have angry shocked faces while Ella and Nudge are shocked by what Anne had just done. Fang? I didn't know what he felt because I couldn't bear to see his face. But I knew one thing. It had betrayal.

The bodyguards carry me out the school and throws me inside the limo. My driver looks at me with pity and soon enough, the door opens to reveal Anne. Anger soon consumes me.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR? I DIDN'T SKIP ANY SHOOTS! WHY THE HELL DID YOU JUST RUIN MY LIFE?" I scream but it doesn't faze Anne.

"There was a shoot yesterday. A very important shoot at exactly 8:30 at night. You didn't come so I had to stand there like an idiot as I waited for you. Until fucking 1 in the morning. You never came. I couldn't even reschedule that shoot. I told you if you ever skipped, I would tell, and tell I did. Now, shut the fuck up and let's go. Chevy, step on it!" She demands and the limo drives away. I turn my phone on (I forgot to turn it on last night) and I see that there are 75 missed calls from Anne and 10 messages from my secretary.

Miss, you have a very important photo shoot today. It starts at 8:30. Please do not forget. – 7:30PM

Miss, where are you? – 8:30PM

Miss, your mother is asking for you. Are you almost here? – 8:45 PM

Miss, your mother is getting impatient. Is there too much traffic? – 9:00 PM

Miss, who is your driver? Mr. Chevy is right here with us. He told us you never called for him to pick you up for the photo shoot. Who is driving you? – 9:23 PM

Miss, please pick your phone. – 9:47 PM

Miss, we understand if you forgot so we are going to wait for you. Please come fast. – 10:01 PM

Miss, the people are getting restless here. They are only going to wait 1 more hour. Please hurry up. – 12:00 AM

Miss, please come to the photo shoot now. Please. – 12:45 AM

Maxine, prepare for your life to be destroyed. – 1:05 AM

Oh my god, what have I done?

... THOUGH IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I'LL BE NICE TO YOU GUYS XD
