Disclaimer: I only own the plot of this story.
Max POV
The guests began arriving at 9, but honestly, I wish they had never come. All I really wanted to do was kiss Fang- Whoa. Did I really just say that?
I wiped those messed up thoughts about Fang out of my head just as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Angel announced, running towards the door. Her blue sweater dress was bouncing up and down as she ran down the stairs and flew (not literally) past the living room. Mom and Jeb had paid for ten of Ella's friends to fly over from Arizona for the party.
The first Guest was Ella's best friend Jessica and her sister Sofia, along with Jake and Mark, Ella's best guy friends. I walked up to the door.
"Thanks Angel." I thanked her and she walked away. "Come on in guys, Ells should be home in a little while." I shivered. The winter breeze left me frozen inside. More like frozen outside. I was wearing a simple white top with the word LOVE on it in big black letters. The shirt also had a tiny little bow on the top right corner. Along with that, I was wearing a pair of dark jeans and some converse. My hair, however, was a mess. I hadn't even bothered to comb through it, I just pulled up into a high ponytail and let it be. As you might've figured out, I'm not the kind of girl that takes too much time with appearance.
The doorbell rang five minutes after Jessica arrived, but this time Fang got it. About five other girls came rushing in, trying to get out of the cold. Guess they didn't have that in Arizona. One of them, a red hair, green eyes and fair skin, which looked like Christmas threw up on her, was eyeballing Fang. Guess they didn't teach you manners in Arizona either! I felt an emotion swell up inside of me that I hadn't felt for at least two years. Since Redheaded Wonder. I knew exactly what it was: Jealously. But why? I knew Fang loved me. I mean, he kissed me twice today! Once covered in flour and another under the mistletoe.
Thankfully, my phone's vibration snapped me back into reality. It was a text from Nudge.
B there in 5 min.
"Attention!" I said standing up. All eyes turned towards me. "Ella will be here in 5 minutes, when I turn on the lights everyone yell 'surprise!' K? Now hide!" Everyone nodded and went to find a hiding place. I hid behind the main door, peering out the window. I heard Angel giggle.
"Sssh!" I thought. She quieted.
I heard the car pull into the driveway. Ella walked out in a new outfit; hair and make up done, looking nothing like the sleepy 15 year old who left the house against her will this morning.
Angel must've been sending my pictures into Iggy's brain because his mouth suddenly dropped open beside me. I held back laughter. Nudge looked spectacular as well. She was wearing a dark purple, knee height dress, hair and makeup done as well. Now I see Ella wasn't the only one who gained from the shopping trip.
Nudge was talking up a storm and Ella looked relieved to be home. I shut off the lights and waited for them to enter the house.
When the opened the door, I waited.
"Why is it so dark in here?" Ella said, reaching for the lights. At that moment, I flicked them on.
"Surprise!" Everyone jumped out and yelled. Iggy popped up from behind the chair, a little late and threw confetti all over the place. He walked up to Ella and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Happy Birthday Ells." He said with a smile and wrapped an arm around her.
"Oh Guys, you shouldn't have!" Ella replied.
"But we did." I said and gave her a hug. Ella spotted her friends and went to go say Hi to them.
Meanwhile, Fang was manning the snack table. I walked over to him and gently slapped him on the back.
"Leave some for the guests." I said with a smile. I entwined my fingers with his and we sat on the couch. My favorite song came on the stereo. I quickly got up and started dancing. Not that I knew how to dance, I just did my own special Max dance.
Fang just looked at me like I was crazy, but I grabbed his hand and made him dance with me. Then, the song changed. I looked over to see who did it, ready to beat the crap at of them. Nudge. And she was looking at the pair of us with an evil smile. I'd have to get her later. It was a slow song. You know, the one's you actually have to know how to dance to dance to. Fang's hands rested on my hips and my found their way around his neck. I rested my chin on his shoulder.
We kind of just stood there, swaying from side to side. Thankfully the others didn't notice. The rest of the flock was to high on either sugar or happiness to notice anything. But, that happiness didn't last for long.
The doorbell rang and Nudge went to answer it, thinking it was another guest. She was wrong. Standing in front of her, were 3 Erasers. The biggest of the three stepped forward.
"You're having a party, and you didn't invite us?"
Please don't hurt me! I know, I know, the cliffhanger. I'm about to go watch Glee so, sorry. I'll try to update as soon as possible.
