A/N: I love getting new readers, I forgot how sweet and absolutely wonderful you all are. Please forgive me if my writing is a bit rusty, it's been so long! Also I hate how long it's taking to update but guys I'm really trying to get back into this. I love you all!
"Max!" I hear Iggy's voice as he bangs on my door.
"What?!" I reply and he enters.
"Are you ready? Dylan is downstairs and we need to leave soon."
I stare at him for a few seconds in confusion then realize that we're going to our birthday dinner tonight.
"Shit, I forgot. Let me change." I push him out my room and slam the door. I fling my closet doors open and pull of my shorts and retrieve my nicest jeans (the ones that aren't pre-ripped). Peeling my t-shirt off I grab a loose purple tank top and pull on my ankle boots.
I run down the stairs and stop at the coat rack, swiftly pulling on my leather jacket then I look to my brother and company. "Are you guys ready or what?" I say as my eyes fall on Lissa who's sitting disgustingly on Fang's lap.
I also catch sight of Ella. "Ella? What're you doing here."
Ella blushes slightly, "I'm Iggy's date."
My eyes widen and I open my mouth to question my brother but he quickly gets up and head towards the door, "Let's go!"
We file out of the house and I mutter, "I still don't see why Lissa has to come."
I feel Fang's hand on my lower back, "Jealous?" He whispers. I gasp loudly and slap his hand away before stomping ahead to stand my Dylan who smiled down at me.
"Okay?" He asks and I nod, stepping into the large white van my mom uses for work. Today she's using it to drive us to the restaurant.
My mom is already in the front seat. "Everyone strapped in?"
We all mumble varying answers and my mom drives onto the road to whatever restaurant we're going to.
My mom stops in front of some restaurant which is titled in mandarin so I obviously can't read it.
"Everyone get out, have fun." My mom sounds as if she's rushing us and she dries away as soon as my Iggy's foot hits the floor.
Dylan throws his arm over my shoulder and leads me into the restaurant.
I look over my shoulder at Iggy and Ella who are walking besides each other and slightly brushing hands. "Ig, do we have a reservation?"
He looks startled and turns his head away from looking at Ella. "Uh, yeah. Martinez."
I smirk as I turn toward the dude in the funny looking tie at the front. "Martinez."
"How many?" He asks.
"Five." I quickly reply.
"Max, there's six of us." Dylan reminds me but I already know that.
"What are talking about? There's us, Iggy and Ella, and Fang. That's five." I say.
Lissa scoffs and Iggy smiles while Ella lets out a loud laugh.
Dylan shakes his head with a slight smirk. "Sorry, sir, there's surely six of us."
The man looks irritated and motions with his hand for us to follow him towards a booth.
I sit next to across from Fang and next to Dylan who is across from Lissa and then Iggy who is across from Ella.
Soon a waiter steps up. "Good Evening, can I get everyone a drink?"
I'm the first to speak, "Can I have a chocolate milkshake?"
Lissa scoffs and I turn to her. "What, are you choking?"
"A chocolate milkshake, how juvenile." She says with a look of disgust.
"I'll have a chocolate milkshake too." Dylan pipes up, followed by Ella and Iggy.
The waiter looks as if he wants to laugh but instead asks while looking at Fang, "Will you be having a chocolate milkshake too, sir?"
Fang, no Nick, pauses for thought, "No, I think I'll have vanilla." I grin at him and Lissa huffs.
"Unsweetened ice-tea." She orders.
"Bitter just like the witch herself." Dylan whispers and I cover my mouth with my hand to hold back a loud laugh.
Behind Dylan I see Ella and Iggy leaning across the table to talk and she giggles while he gives he a goofy grin. I smile to myself at the sight of my brother and best friend. (A/N: Get it? Haha)
I turn my attention to Dylan again, "Thanks for coming with me."
He smiles, "Of course, what ever happened to that guy?" He asks. But he's not jealous or bitter, just curious.
"He wasn't who I thought he was," I say glancing at the boy across the table, "but I'd like to give this another chance."
And I mean it, Dylan is a good guy and he's been nothing but sweet to me.
He smiles very wide at my words. "Yeah, me too."
Lissa scoffs for the third time tonight and F-Nick looks annoyed. "I'm getting really sick if that."
"Huh sweetie?" Lissa turns away from us and to Nick.
"You're always upset by something. It's aggravating. You know, what? I don't even really like you, why don't you just leave!"
Unsurprisingly Lissa scoffs and pushes Nick out the booth to stomp away.
"Fang…" Ella starts but he cuts her off.
"Actually I think I'm gonna head home, Happy birthday guys."
