Chapter 25- N.Y.E

Fang's P.O.V.

December 31, 2014

It's New Year's Eve. The kind of date where usually only all the adults go ham when it comes to partying. I, for one, can be a party animal if I really wanted to. But unfortunately, that's not going to happen. Sorry?

Its like 7 p.m. now and my phone goes off, indicating that I have a message. Its the gang in the group chat. Figures.

Iggy: what are you guys wearing tonight?

Nudge: clothes you idiot. :P

Iggy: Ik that, i mean like what color should i wear?

Ella: you're such a girl dude

Iggy: I have this black and this blue almost black one. Take a vote?

Max: nah dude just flip a coin, surprise us all with your compelling fashion sense

Gazzy: yea man, hit us with your sexiness tonight.

Fang: you guys need to learn to shut up, kthanksbye.

I locked my phone, and proceeded to my closet, contemplating on wether or not i should just wear black tonight or wear red. I thought it over a few times, and came to a conclusion.

Black seems nice.

Max's P.O.V.

I fingered at the bracelet that Fang gave me on Christmas, slightly smiling at the memory. I didn't think that a boy as dark (AN: Get it?) as him, could come up with something so thoughtful and sweet.

Recently, he's been on my mind a lot lately. Me constantly remembering our memories and the fun times we've had so far. I giggle a few times.

"What're you smiling about?" Ella asked.

"Nothing." I said.

"Max, I don't know who, or what is making you smile lately, but I kind of like this vibe you got going on".

"Uh, thanks?" It went quiet for a second.

"Is it Fang...?"

I, of course, was kind of taken aback. I didn't know how to take this question; what is she trying to imply?

"Why?" I asked.

"It's obvious that you like him sweetie. It's just that your stubborn ass doesn't like to admit things like this to yourself. It's normal but I'm just telling you through past experiences."

To be honest, I didn't even process anything of what she just said. I was too caught up on the words, like him.

I told her to get out becuase that was enough brain power for today, and hopped into the shower. I'm usually not really into dressing up, but it's New Year's, probably the only day that you'll ever see me try.

It was around 9:30 now, and we were pulling into Nudge's driveway.

We walked in, and we were greeted by hello's and hi's. I finding the gang in the living room, watching the famous ball drop thing that they do every year.

They were all decked out, the guys, coincidently, all were wearing black on black, and the girls, to keep it short, Ella wearing gray, Nudge wearing mahogany, and me wearing red. They looked nice.

I sat next to Fang, making small talk, desperately trying not to let what Ella said bother me. We talked about highschool drama, you know teenager-y stuff.

"Tell me how I got a C on my Math test, when I swear to god that I thought that was the easiest thing out there?!" He complained. I laughed at this. I know that feeling all too well.

"Fang dude, shit happens, just pass the next test. It'll be like a slap to the face for your teacher."

"Not just my math teacher, my english teacher too!"

"Then slap them in the face." I emphasized. It's fairly simple, but I, fellow readers, do not condone this whatsoever, I'm just expressing my feelings to a very close friend of mine yada yada yada.

"You're right, I will" he said smiling.

I looked up at Ella, and she wiggled her eyebrows at me. You know the kind of wiggle people do to sort of say like 'ooooooooh, I see you'? No? Just me? Okay…I disregarded that, and went back to talking to Fang, only smiling a little, because, why not?

Fang's P.O.V.

"5...4...3...2...1! Happy New Year!"

The adults were clinking (AN: Is that a word?) their glasses, toasting to a new year. I hugged my friends, Ella, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Ari, and then finally, Max.

Recently, and I don't know maybe it's just me, but me and her have gotten extremely close. And it's not that I don't mind it, of course not she's my best friend, but when Iggy brought up the fact that he thinks I like her, has put the way I look at her into a whole new different perspective. I mean yea she is pretty, and she is funny, but what is it doesn't work out? Like, I don't want to lose her as a person, you know?

Whatever, I'm over thinking things. I just need to relax, be chill.

Yea, right.

I looked to my left, and saw Ari talking to Max. He, trying to what looked like flirting, and Max completely brushing it off. We made eye contact, her smiling for a second, then losing it when she realized she was still talking to Ari. I laughed a little at this. Ari really isn't that bad, Max just isn't for him I guess.

I continued to look at her, not in a pervy way, or in a lustful way, just looking at her. Admiring her. I'm happy that I have her in my life. She's someone special.

I shook my head and brought myself back to reality. I made my way to kitchen to get some juice, and stepped outside to rethink about life and its obstacles.

Hey guys! Hope you liked it, uber overdue but here it is.

Make sure you give me some feedback on this, I'd really appreciate it!

See you guys soon!
