Chapter 19 – Finding Out

I flipped yet another page, sighing as I started another sentence. This could be the worst torture ever! I was sitting on my bed, still in my PJ's, with papers scattered all around me. I had to finish 2 chapters by tomorrow for English.

Don't get me wrong, I love reading, but when you don't want to read on a Sunday, it sucks. And for every chapter we had to do notes, summaries, quotes blah, blah, blah.

'Ok, come Max, last couple of pages.' I encouraged myself. Then I felt my phone buzz, somewhere. I started shuffling through papers, throwing them over me, making even a bigger mess, damn, where was it? I lifted my binder, and there it was, with a new message.

I picked it and opened it. It was from Fang. I rolled my eyes; he was just downstairs, in the den. Why couldn't he just come up here?

I opened the message,

Fang: where r u?

I rolled my eyes again; does this kid have no brain?

Me: at the North Pole!

I smirked as he responded,

Fang: thought u were going tomorrow :)

I laughed out loud, he was so stupid.

Me: i'm in my room, wat did u need?

Fang: we r making ice cream sundaes downstairs, want 1?

Sundaes do sound good… but I really needed to finish the last couple of pages.

Me: no thnx, doin hw

I threw my phone next to me and continued the second to the last paragraph. My phone buzzed, I thought we ended the conversation?

Fang: i'm coming up

I closed my phone and waited for my door to swing open. I waited a couple seconds, but nothing. Maybe he was bluffing.

I read my last sentence. Yes, I was done! Now I only needed to do a summary. I closed the book and grabbed my notebook.

Just then my door opened and in walked Fang, holding two sundaes. I smiled and cleared a spot for him on my bed. He sat down and handed me the one with no cherries.

"I said I didn't one." And I scooped some whipped cream. He ate a cherry, "Yeah, I know." He said smirking.

We sat in silence as we ate the sundaes. Just then I started thinking about the day Fang left and I was reading his letter up here. How I cried and cried and then threw up.

"You know, this is where I read your letter." I said, looking up at him. He swallowed some ice cream and looked at me. He blinked, "I'm so sorry Max, I wish that never would have happened." His eyes looked forgiving, I nodded.

"I know, and you better not do that again." I said half playing. He smiled, "Don't worry Max, I'm not going anywhere."

We both smiled and finished our delicious sundaes. I gave him my cup and sighed again, looking at my notebook. He got up, also looking at my notebook. "What are doing?"

I showed him the book, "We have to read and I need to do some dumb stuff." He laughed, "Sounds like fun, wish I could help, but I have better things to do." He said walking to the door.

I scoffed, "Fang! I thought you would help me, you jerk!" I yelled staring at him. He just smiled (making my heart go into over-drive mode) and he walked out. I slumped down and started on my summary mumbling about Fang being a jerk.

About 45 minutes later, I am lying on top of all my school stuff, exhausted. I finish my homework, and now I was just staring at my faded ceiling.

Suddenly I remembered Fang's Birthday was in 2 days! What was I going to get him? I looked at my bracelet he gave me; it needs to be something special.

I got up and put everything in my backpack and I heard my door open again. Angel came in, "Hey Max!" she said sounding happy. I turned, "Hi Angel! What's up?" she smiled shyly, "Do you wanna play Just Dance with me?"

My face dropped and my shoulders slumped. I would do anything for Angel, but dancing was so not my thing.

I was about to say go ask Fang, but she did bambi eyes. And she had me, there was no way I was going to say no. "Ok fine. I'll play with you." I sighed.

She squealed and hugged me, "Thank you Max!" and then she ran downstairs. I was so going to regret this.

I followed her down to the den. She was getting the Wii ready and I sat on the couch. I watched as she slipped in the disk, then my name was being called. I got up and walked into the kitchen.

"Yes mom?" I ask, leaning on the counter. "Did you finish your homework?" she asked. Jeez, did she not trust me? "Yes, mom. It's all ready to go for tomorrow."

She nodded her head and I turned, walking back to the den. I walked in and saw Fang sitting on the couch. I stopped and looked at him, what was he doing here?

He looked at me and smirked, "I asked if he wanted to play too!" Angel said.

Heck no! He was not going to be in here while I was dancing, well trying to dance.

"No. Out Fang!" I said harshly. I walked over to him, standing in front of him. "Sorry Max, but I am staying. And you can't make me leave, this is a free country." I rolled my eyes and grabbed his arm, pulling.

He wouldn't budge. I pulled harder, but nothing. "Fang, come on, I don't need you making fun of me." I whined after I realized he wouldn't move. "Who said I am going to make fun you? I would never do that." He said sounding hurt.

I stared at him, "Please Mr. Perfect, you know you are going to make fun me." He laughed, "Please Max. I won't, let me stay." I rolled my eyes and got up, getting a remote. "If I hear anything, even if you try to hide a laugh or comment, you are gone. Got it?" I asked.

He nodded and I let Angel pick the first song. The song "It's Raining Men" started.

And if you have never seen me play Just Dance, well let's just say it's not so pretty. Angel kicked my butt. I was just glad I got at least one move right. Hey, that's a big step for me!

I turned to look at Fang. No signs of making fun, he just looked back at me with thumbs up. Just before the new song started, Gazzy came in, he sat next to Fang and watched.

I did better this time, I got 5 moves right! I was pretty excited and was finally getting the hang of it. After we finished our 4th song, the door opened again. And in came Marilyn.

I ran to her and gave her hug. "What are doing here?" I asked, "Well I came to visit Iggy, but then heard music down here and came to check it out." She said, then in came Iggy. Oh no, not more people.

"Hey, can Marilyn and I try?" he asked. Angel and I handed them our remotes. I sat down, completely tired, this was a workout. They both did amazing, and they seemed to have lots of fun.

Next Gazzy and Angel went. It was so cute watching them dance, I would have paid to see it. Then the door opened again, and in came the parents. "What is all this noise down here?" asked my mom, eyeing the TV.

Angel explained to them how to play, and before we knew it, both my parents were dancing! It was hilarious!

Then Angel went with Jeb, and the rest of us took turns. I even made Fang dance with me, priceless! So we had what you can call a Just Dance Party. It was really fun; I just wish we had caught it on video.

After what left like days of playing, we decided to stop. We were so tired and thirsty, but honestly, I am pretty sure we could have kept going. After we all relaxed, we were hungry. More like starving.

We decided to go to Chili's, all of us. So here we are, 9 of us enjoying our dinner. We stayed and talked until almost 7:30. Since it was a school night, my mom wanted the twins back at the house so they could go to sleep early.

When we got home Marilyn left, and the rest of us watched some TV. At 10:45 I walked upstairs and got into my bed. I remembered our day, my whole family playing Just Dance.

I smiled, feeling like everything was perfect. And I fell asleep with a huge smile on my face.

That morning I heard no alarm. Weird… what happened?

I slightly opened my eyes looking at my clock. 7:45! I was going to be so late!

I jumped out of bed and grabbed the first pieces of clothes I saw in my closet. I threw them on and ran to my bathroom. I brushed my teeth and threw my messy hair into a ponytail. I put on my Ugg boots, grabbed my backpack and ran downstairs.

I saw no one. Shoot, they left without me! Maybe I can run there? No, it's like 5 miles away, no way I could make it in time.

I opened the front door and ran into Fang. "Fang! I thought you had guys had left?" I asked. "No, I was about to go up and get you. Your mom is waiting on the car." We both got in and my mom looked at me,

"Maximum, if you ever wake up late again, I am leaving you." She said, pulling out of the driveway. I stayed quiet, looking out the window. She pulled next to the curb and we got out.

We walked in just as the bell was ringing. I walked into 1st period and sat. There was a substitute at the front writing his name on the board. Mr. Miranda, he was young and looked nice. He started the lesson about DNA replication, but I zoned out.

I kept thinking what I was going to get Fang for his birthday tomorrow. A new guitar pick? New clothes, maybe a pink shirt? I had no idea.

When the bell rang I walked out with Nudge and Logan. We met up with the rest of our 'group'. We talked about stuff and then the bell rang. I headed off to English by myself. I walked in and sat, taking out my homework.

I was waiting for Dylan, i wanted to know how they did at last Friday's game. The rest of the class came in, but no Dylan. I wonder what happened?

Well the class started, but it was pretty boring without Dylan. We turned in our papers, and started reading the next chapter. The class went by so slow, it's like if 1 minute seems like an hour. I was going crazy.

Finally after the longest class in my life, the bell rang. I was gathering my things, and about to go ask Mrs. Smith a question when the door opened. And guess who came in?

Yup, Red-headed wonder. She came in, and saw me right away. She looked at me and then went up to Mrs. Smith, totally cutting in front of me. Did I mention I don't like her, like at all?

"Hi Lissa. What can I do for you?" Mrs. Smith knew her? Lissa smiled, her white teeth shining. "Hi, Mrs. Smith. I am here to pick up my brothers' homework." She said politely. Brother? I didn't know she had a brother.

"Ah, yes." Said Mrs. Smith and she pulled out papers. "Tell him just to finish pages 1 and 2." I wonder who her brother is? I wanted to leave, but I wanted to know who was her brother.

"Thanks. And he says he's really sorry for missing, but he got sick over the weekend. He should be back tomorrow." She smiled innocently, and I wanted to smack it off her face.

"Please tell Dylan that it's fine. And if he can't do the homework, not to worry."

Dylan? That was her brother? No way, that's not possible!

Lissa smiled, thanked her and walked out. I followed her out, but stayed back a few steps. I couldn't believe that Dylan was her brother, they don't even look alike!

She turned into the next hallway, and I kept walking. I knew Fang knew something, maybe I can ask him.

Hope you guys liked it!

So next chapter is Fang's Birthday! And I have something big planned…. But I need ideas of Max can give him! Please!

And I promise there will be FAX in the next chapter!

So review!
