Okay, so short chapter. Some people wanted FAX so I added it. Umm. I couldn't update cause I was doing vacation stuff and also because I wanted to figure out a really good chapter. I don't like writing filler stuff. The fax isin't much but I don't want that much yet. I never really planned any fax this soon until people asked so yah. Sorry if I don't update that fast... Please do not throw virtual crap at my face. I'm on vacation for like 2 months. I'll update as soon as possible.

Camp Disaster Chapter 11-Head in the Dirt

Max POV

Asher and Josh finally stopped twitching and convulsing. They both got to their feet shakily and glared at me.

"Why didn't you say anything? We could have been killed!" Josh screamed at me. Spit flew onto my face. I lifted a hand and wiped it off. Then I used Gazzy's t-shirt sleeve as a towel. He glared at me and I stuck out my tongue at him, being the immature girl I am.

"Well, having Iggy in dept, to me, was a good price to pay." I said. Asher and Josh were still grumbling.

"We have to get back to the Dance department. I have a score to settle with a pac-man machine." Asher said. "We'll see you guys at dinner." And with that, Asher and Josh left. Probably to go rinse their mouths with Listerine.

"Yah, Gazzy and I have to go get ready for the paint bombs prank." Iggy muttered, looking like he was distracted by something.

"Bye, Nudge!" Gazzy shouted. We all looked at him. Ha! He soooo likes Nudge. That can be useful blackmail. "… and Ella, and Fang, and-"

"Oh, spare us Gazzer. Just go make your stupid bombs." I grinned. Then I turned to Ella and Nudge.

"Fang, Dan, and I are going on our hike now. You two will be okay together with your girly antics right?" I asked them.

"Yah, go have fun!" Ella said. I love my sister. She may be a little girly for my taste, but she has such a sweet heart. I clapped my hands together.

"Okay, let's go. I'm going to run into the kitchen and get the small snack basket Cheryl packed for us. And don't tell the boys but I made my famous chocolate chip cookies." I said to Fang and Dan. I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the mini picnic basket that Cheryl had prepared while we were in the kitchen. I have to remember to thank her again for being so thoughtful.

"Let's go! Lead the way boy scouts!" I gestured to Fang and Dan to go first. Fang just rolled his eyes and headed out of the Cafeteria. We walked for 5 minutes toward the woodsy trail. I paused at the entrance. There was a big sign that read:

Trail Blazers stay alert and beware,

For danger can lurk everywhere.

Travelers heed our desperate call

Do you really want to risk it all?

Fang looked at me questioningly.

"Hehe, camp joke. Sorry. Ignore that sign." I muttered. The truth was, me and my dad had gone on that trail the very first day the camp opened. In the end, we both landed in this HUGE pit of mud. I swear, it looked shallow, but it was like a pool. By the time we got out we were plastered with mud and laughing our heads of. So we put up that sign as a joke. Of course the mud pit evaporated but it's still a good memory.

We continued down the trail. About 20 minutes into the hike I heard a yelp behind me. Turning around I saw Fang had tripped over a big tree root and face-planted into a pile of dirt… At least I think it was dirt. Laughing, Dan and I helped him up. I passed him a towel from Dan's well prepared hikers backpack. He glared at me as he wiped the crap off his face. Dan and I couldn't stop laughing the entire time.

"Aww, Fang! You never told me you had the hots for Mother Nature! You love her so much that you'd kiss the dirt for her. Isn't that just the sweetest thing!" I giggled. I barely noticed that Dan had started to walk ahead.

"Whatever Max. At least I don't have a major crush on the wall, or else I would be walking into them as much as you do. That would leave a mark." He smirked. Why that little bas-bad boy. How dare he bring my clumsiness into the argument. So obviously being the idiot I am, I made a snap decision and retorted back with and insult.

"With a face like yours, I'm sure no one would even notice the difference." I snapped back.

"Hmmm maybe." Fang said, looking kind of dejected and hurt. Oh no. I sucked in a breath. I really didn't mean that. I reached out and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Fang, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean that okay? I was just joking around. Please don't take that seriously!" I said to him.

"Yah. Okay Max. It's not your fault. Maybe my screwed up face is the reason I can't get the girl of my dreams." He muttered.

"Fang! Don't say that! Of course you'll get the girl! I don't see how any girl wouldn't like you. In fact, I think you're very handsome, not ugly at all. I'm sure tons of girls fall head over heels for you all the time." I said to him, trying to be comforting. But looking back at my words, they probably didn't really help and they were more embarrassing on my part. I felt heat rise up to my cheeks. Great, now I'm blushing. I mean I don't like Fang like that… He's a friend. An amazingly good-looking friend with deep brooding eyes and- No. Just a friend.

"If only you knew." I heard Fang whisper so quietly, I wasn't even sure if I had heard him right. As we continued walking, tension hung in the air. This was one of the only times that I felt uncomfortable being alone with Fang. Then Dan came running back up the path, breaking the awkwardness. Bless him.

"Hey you two slow pokes! Am I going to have to report that my two counsellors ditched me in the middle of the forest?" He yelled jokingly. He seemed to suddenly notice the discomfort between the two of us.

"Well, I've been up and down the trail… So do you guys want to head back? It's almost dinner and you guys have only like an hour to prepare and practice for that Welcoming Concert thing. And you have to eat dinner too." He declared. Fang and I nodded our heads mutely. We started walking back up the trail. Things were going to be awkward tonight. Unless I talked to Fang. Yep, that's what I'm going to do. As soon as we get Dan settled I'll talk to him…Wish me luck.

Iggy: So what have you been up to?

Aqua: Really Iggy? Small talk?

Iggy: Well you said to pretend 'The Incident' never happened.

Aqua: What incident? i don't remember any incident? Did your mother die?

Iggy: Fine, continue ignoring yesterdays events. And BTW, I don't know my mother okay. I wouldn't know if she were alive or d-d-dead.*sniffles*

Aqua: Aww, I'm sorry Iggy! How 'bout I specifically ask readers to review and say a few words about your long lost mother? Okay? Would that make you feel better? If readers extended their thoughts to you, instead of just commenting on the story, would that make you feel better?

Iggy: *Sniff* Yes. Please do, young readers. Do it for my mother, that I'll never... never know- Wah Wah Oh the sorrow *Breaks down crying*

Aqua: There there Igs. Everything will be okay.
