Fang:
"In my last school, talking to me, would be considered worse than social suicide...it'd be considered digging your own grave, laying in it and then killing yourself" Max stated, before turning on her heel and walking away. Was that really how kids treated her? Why? She is beautiful and I would actually take that chance, just to get to know her.
I decided, that I would ask Iggy and El at gym. I sighed and started walking. It was near the middle of the year and during this time, they were testing a lot of the younger schools, Angel and Gazzy hate it. Anyway, that meant that they borrowed the teachers from our school and used them to supervise. Therefore, we got free time at gym and we don't have to change.
I walked into the gym and saw Max and Iggy talking-well Iggy was, Max was ignoring him. I walked over to El.
"Hey"
"Hey, Fang!"
"Can...I ask you something?" She nodded. "It's about Max"
She sucked in a breath and looked at me, signaling for me to continue.
"Just before, in the hallway, she and I were talking...and then she said, that talking to her is worse than suicide...do you know why?"
"Um...well" she said, lacking her usual amazing charisma, "okay, in her last school, she was called many things...like 'emo scum' and shit like that. That's why, we moved here...Mom saw that I was being popular but...Max was getting physically kicked around..."
"That's horrible" I said.
"I know" she said "so just be nice to her...her life is hard, but she keeps up that smile, always."
I just nodded. "Um...so, you are coming over tonight, right?"
"Uh...duh!" She replied. We had been planning this for the past few weeks. We were having a sleepover party, Iggy our siblings and El and Max.
"Cool" I said "I'm gonna go shoot some hoops but see you at 3" I said and ran over to the hoops.
-Later that night-
Angel:
I can't wait to meet Max, El and Fang both said that she's really nice. I know one girl named Max but I met her at the hospital in Colorado...it can't be the same one. The one I know, has stomach cancer, I feel so bad for her. I met her when I fell over my bike on vacation. I needed stitches on my knee. That was only a few weeks ago, so I still have to wear this huge cast on my leg, it sucks. I was sitting in the living room on my laptop, I didn't get homework on Fridays' so I could chill and wait till the guest get here.
I heard the doorbell ring and Fang yell that he got it. I knew that Nudge and Iggy were here when Nudge ran into my room and hugged me.
"Hello, sister!" she said and let go of me. I laughed. "I am so lonely at my house...being that Iggy doesn't talk to me...that much"
"Okay, lets go downstairs and wait for Max and El." I said and we race with Gazzy down the stairs. Gazzy won. He always wins.
"What do you want to watch?" I asked
"Spongebob"
"Icarly"
"Uh..." I said, not really like either of these options. "How about Full House?"
"Fine" they both huffed.
I turned it on and stared into space, thinking.
Fang:
I was helping mom prepare dinner when the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it mom" I said, and went to get it. I opened it, to see Max and El.
"Hiya!" El said.
"Hi." Max.
"Hey, guys. The others are in the living room."
I said, gesturing to the darkened room at the end of the house.
"K!" El said and pulled Max in. I shook my head and followed them.
Angel(Again. I'm sorry)
"MAX AND EL ARE HERE!" Fang yelled before I saw El appear in the doorway. I got up and raced over, well limped.
"Ells!" I said and hugged her. She laughed.
"Hey, kid"
I huffed, 'kid'. Then, I looked at Max. She was the same girl from the hospital.
"Max!"
"Hey, Ange!" She said and came over to me. "How's the knee?"
"Eh...bad...it doesn't hurt anymore though!"
"So..." Fang's voice interrupted us "Can we assume that you know each other?"
I nodded.
"Remember when I got my stitches done?" I asked and he nodded like 'duh'.
"Well, I met Max at the hospital, she was getting tests done for-"
"My arm!" Max cut in before I could finish "I thought I'd broken my arm"
"Yeah...her arm."
Mental Note: Ask Max what that was about...
"Okay..." he said, believing me. "Anyway, this is the kids. So, you know Angel...that" he pointed to Nudge "is Nudge...her real name is Monique but we have to constantly Nudge her to shut up so...and that" he pointed to Gazzy, "is Gazzy but his real name is Andrew...we call him that because he is very gassy..." he said.
"I'm Maximum but call me Max" She smiled and then we all sat down.
"Can we play never have I ever?" Nudge asked and the rest of us nodded..except Fang.
"I don't know"
"Come on! Don't be a buzzkill!" Gazzy shouted, throwing some of the popcorn we had made at him.
"okay!" he said, putting his hands up in surrender, "hold your fire! Yeah, we can!"
"YAY!" we all cheered.
I got a lot of cups of juice and put them out in front of us all.
"Okay, does everyone know how to play?"
"refresh my memory?" Gazzy said. I rolled my eyes and explained.
"the first player says something starting with "Never have I ever". Anyone who has done what the first player has not must drink."
he nodded.
"Can I go first!?" El asked. We nodded. "Okay...never have I ever...sung in front of a crowd"
Nudge, Iggy and I drank.
"Can you Sing now?!" We all yelled.
"What should I sing?"
Max leaned over and whispered something to her. She nodded.
"Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give
Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open?
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue, beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said hey, when you get back to where you're from
Mad boy, bad boy, that's just what you are, yeah
You'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you won't do the same
If my body was on fire
Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
'Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby
But darling, I'd still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Ooh, you never do the same
No, no, no, no"
She finished. We were all staring wide eyed, because her voice was absolutely perfect.
"Wow!" I said. "You're amazing."
She blushed. "Thanks..."
"No prob"
"Me next!" Said Ig, sitting next to her. "Um, never have I ever...kissed a guy"
Fang, Max, Nudge, Gazzy and I all drank.
"Next!" Me "Never have I ever...been drunk"
nobody but Max drank.
"Really?!" Fang said.
"I was stressed out and got mixed with the wrong crowd. They had beer and I drank a little too much."
she looked down and bit her lip.
"ANYWAY!" El said. "Gazzy, it's your turn"
"Um..." He thought a little bit "Never have I ever skipped school"
El and Iggy drank while no one else did.
"What? El? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Didn't think it mattered."
"Everything matters to me now" she said.
Ella:
"Oh come on Max! Don't do that here!"
"Do what?!"
"Guilt trip me!"
"Whatever. I'll be right back" She said and stood up. She walked outside.
I rolled my eyes. I was shocked when Iggy stood up and followed her.
Hey. Sorry its boring, but this is just a filler and it will lead up to the next part.
