I found Fang leaning on the ledge of the stairs, talking to Iggy about something.

I hurried down the stairs and jumped so I landed right next to them, grinning, "Hey guys!" I said brightly.

Iggy and Fang shared a look (Again, it irritates me!), then Fang asked, his voice curious and teasing, but scolding, "Maximum Martinez, what did you do?"

My eyes widened slightly, my lip turning into a slight pout. The look of innocence. Which, I was not. "What do you mean, Fang?"

"Cause you were grinning for a reason."

"Maybe it's because I got to see Iggy."

"I feel broken hearted! You didn't want to see me?"

"Of course I didn't Fang! I mean jeez... You're not that popular, ya know." I smirked at him then we both busted out laughing as Iggy shook his head and walked away. "IGGGYYYYY!" I shouted. "Don't leave Fangy and meeee!"

Fang and I cracked up laughing harder as he yelled back, "You're lucky its Friday Night!"

On Fridays, Iggy and Fangs friends hung out at Fangs house for movies and sleepover. Ella and I were invited to it. Me because Iggy and Fang are my best friends. Ella because her best friend, Nudge (Whose real name is Monique), is good friends with Iggy. It was really fun, so I heard.

Fang and I started walking towards our houses after that, chatting and laughing about school that day. It was like we'd been best friends for years, like we knew eachother inside and out. I grinned at Fang as he told me about Iggy in Science class.

As we walked up the driveway to my house, I looked at Fang, grinning, "What time should Ella and I be at your house tonight?"

He put his hands in his jean pockets, grinning back slightly, "How about right now?" Then he paused. "Ella's at Nudges, right?"

I blinked, surprised, "Yeah, she is. I forgot. Whoops." I glared at him when he gave me a look that said 'Forgetting is your thing.' "Lemme grab my stuff smart ass, then I'll be over. Come on inside." We walked inside my house, setting down our book bags near the door and heading up to my room.

As I opened the door, Fang asked something that surprised me. "You don't have a good relationship with your dad, do you?" I walked over to my closet thinking about it. It was true; dad and I didn't have a great relationship. He was always working, always too busy. It made my heart hurt when he missed my birthdays, or my concerts, or my graduation.

"No, not really. But, I've learned to live with him being gone." I replied, pulling a t-shirt off my hanger. Total lie. I haven't lived with him being gone all the time. I highly doubted I would ever live with it. Next thing I knew, Fang was hugging me gently. I hugged him back, comforted, and smiled slightly, "Stop being a sap."

He pulled back, his face mock offended, "Me? A sap? Oh, no you did not." His eyes twinkled as he picked me up (Myself protesting) and dropped me on my bed, pinning my arms down above my head. "You like to laugh, Max?" Fang asked innocently as his hand moved towards the strip of stomach that was exposed when he had dropped me on the bed. My eyes widened as I realized what he was going to do.

"Don't you dare, Fang!" I managed to threat before I was cut off by laughing hard. His hand tickled up and down my sides as I laughed, "FANNNNNNNGGG!" I yelled between gasping for breath and laughing. He grinned and stopped, letting me up so I could finish packing.

"I will get you back, Ride." I threatened as I tugged my shoes on. He just smirked, holding open the door for me as we headed out onto the sidewalk towards his house.

"I know." He replied, looking at me smiling slightly. "And I'll be ready."
