An hour later we were all parked in my lounge the TV on in the background, working out the fine details of the plan.
"Well I had a damn good plan but then you guys showed up." They took the hint and gave me apologetic looks.
"Sorry Max, I so badly wanted to tell you!" Nudge promised.
"So what's your oh so brilliant plan wonderful leader?" Iggy bowed in his seat and I threw a shoe at him hitting him in the head as he came up.
"Ow! What was that? Nudge's Gucci stilettos?" He enquired and I grinned evilly. Yes my dear readers, Iggy had been hit in the head with Nudge's shoes enough to know exactly which pair hit him.
"Alright, there are only a few minor changes I need to make. Sorry Nudge but we're going to have to carry on like today for a while."
She shrugged, "Ok." She sang and I rolled my eyes.
"Igs you're going to play sympathetic friend."
He groaned, "Really? Do I have to? How many times am I gonna get punched this time?" he pouted and I laughed.
"Don't worry I just need to get Fang thinking."
"Well that won't be hard he over thinks everything." Nudge snorted.
"Even better." I rubbed my hands together and it was Iggy's turn to roll his eyes.
"You're like a kid in a candy store." He told me.
"What can I say? I do bitch well."
"Can't argue with that." Iggy mumbled hiding behind a pillow. Just then Iggy's phone buzzed and he whipped it out. "I have places to be and people to see, Hasta Lavista!" and then he left the house, slamming the door behind him.
"Why do we put up with him?" I asked Nudge who shrugged.
"Beats me. Oooh! I love what you're wearing! You should have seen everyone's faces when you walked in! they were like jaws dropped and the guys were all whistling and I was like 'keep dreaming' and-"
"Nudge." I cut her off and she blushed.
"oops." Embarrassedly she sat in silence until she finally couldn't take it any more. "So what are you going to do? Fang's one of those who gets really suspicious so Iggy and I are gonna need a little of you're 'history' cause I know he's going to ask me tomorrow because you're just too damn interesting for your own good-" She paused realising she was doing it again.
I picked up a brown folder I had been given with the rest of my stuff and handed it to Nudge. "Everything you need is in there."
Nudge eagerly opened it and started reading, "Ooooh, you have a record!" She hummed excitedly and continued reading, giggling occasionally."And you're emancipated!" She gasped, "Unfair!" she flipped over the page, "Oh you're going to have so much fun! Your alias is soo much more interesting in mine! I got stuck being preppy shopaholic." She complained and I gave her a look that said have-you-looked-in-the-mirror?
Noting this she grumbled in reply "Shut up, I want to be a bad-ass!" She whined.
"Next time, promise."
Nudge finally left after spending another hour talking about the mission. I was snuggled into the couch with a bowl of noodles watching Warehouse 13. I was thinking about my cover, Nudge was so excited about it but I was so used to being the outcast so I didn't really get excited about missions anymore. i picked up my file again and read through it, when I started thinking like Nudge I could see why she was so jealous. She was stuck with two assigned parents, a curfew, no record so she had to stick to the rules which I knew she hated, she was a straight A student which meant she had to pretend to put in hours of work and then there was me: arrested twice, emancipated for two years, no family besides my 'dad' who was currently serving a ten year sentence for murdering my 'mother', I got ok grades and obviously there was the benefit of the bike and all black wardrobe. I was in my element. All I needed now was Fang to just go along with it.
Iggy and Nudge had helped me work out the details of the plan which was pretty fun- don't judge I'm an assassin what did you expect me to do? Play monopoly? Anyway back on topic.
The plan was as follows:
1. Continue to get Fang to really despise me, let him think that he's got me all figured out.
2. Nudge is going to have a party which of coarse the entire school is invited to.
3. I'm gonna show up, let Fang see me and this is where it gets tricky, hopefully if Nudge has spiked his interest enough with my file he'll head off to find me. I will be in the bathroom and he's gonna catch me 'harming myself' -now don't get freaked out I'm not going all cutter on you guys- I'll yell at him, he'll try and stop me yada yada.
4. by this point he'll have realised that he totally misjudged me, attempt to become my friend and help me, we'll get close he'll fall for me he'll tell me his deepest darkest secrets and then I kill him.
Don't start, that's what this is all for. You probably think I'm a heartless killer but guess what? This is my life, all of this is the only thing I have left. I had never failed and I didn't plan on starting now but Fang just needed to be good and follow the rules he didn't know were there. If this went wrong I'd have to speed things up a bit and I never have been one for torture. I kill painlessly unless I'm ordered not to but that doesn't happen very often thankfully.
-1 week later-
Nudge was buzzing with excitement, the party was tomorrow and she as over the moon that she got to drop her persona for a few hours and let loose, of coarse Nudge's persona and her real self aren't that different but I'd given up telling her that a week ago.
Faze one and two of our plan was complete, Fang successfully refused to even look at me during classes, Lisa hadn't come near me again but JJ had talked to me every now and then.
I was currently seated beside Fang in General studies again when Nudge came over like we had agreed, it had to be in plain sight of Fang and I knew he'd get snappy at me which is what I wanted.
"Hi Max! So listen I'm having a party at my house tomorrow and everyone's going to be there so I figured that you could come and meet a few people." She gave me a nervous smile and I pretended to think it over.
Lalalala…yep long enough, "Busy." I replied and her face fell.
"Oh, ok." She turned and left.
Fang shook his head not saying a word.
"You say I have issues." I whispered under my breath but loud enough for him to hear.
He shot me a glare which I returned easily. "Get over yourself." He snapped eyes aflame, damn him for his good looks, "You're not the only one that's had a shitty life. It doesn't give you the right to be such a bitch to everyone."
Ooo, someone was peeved.
I cocked my head to the side and stared at him with wide innocent eyes getting him to think he'd won this one. I sighed, "You're right." Casting my eyes down. When I glanced up at him his eyes were disbelieving and I had to stop myself from laughing when I spoke. I let a smile flicker across my features and the confusion deepened. "You're bloody gullible you know that?" I laughed giving him a sweet smile and standing when the bell rang.
If looks could kill I would have been dead.
Once on my way to the one class I didn't have with Fang Nudge caught up with me, "Nice." She commented.
I bowed and she laughed, "You weren't too shabby yourself Nudgey-pudgey!" I sang and she pouted.
"Come on, we have class." Nudge gaped at my serious tone and I cracked up, "Oh gosh, this is just too easy!"
She punched my arm walking ahead of me towards Science.
Ok I would like to clear a few things up, some people are asking me to write longer chapters, here's my reply to that (I'm not trying to be mean but I'm getting rather tired of it)
I update a lot, I am not a writing machine, I have three stories I have to write at once and I'm in the middle of exams, so if the chapters are short you're going to have to live with it. sorry but that's just how it is.
