Roommates (A Maximum Ride Fanfic)

...8...

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.

Max POV

My jaw hit the floor. Lissa's back was to us and she was stuck to Dylan like glue. They were making out and it was completely disgusting. I ran into my room before he could see me and texted Nudge.

(Max, Nudge)

Nudge! Can I stay the nite at ur house?

OMG! Yes! We can have a girls nite! This is gonna b so much fun! We can paint each others nails and do makeovers! Ur going 2 b even more beautiful when we're done!

UGH! Fine. Thx, Nudge.

I grabbed a backpack and started to pack my things. Iggy walked into my room looking rather red.

"That was awkward." He said as he sat on the bed.

"I'm going over to Nudge's. You want to come?" I asked, not looking up.

"Sure,"

We snuck out of my dorm and drove to the girls' apartment. I blasted Alter Bridge through the speakers and was singing along. Iggy smirked at my terrible singing and rolled his eyes. I started dancing and he laughed. By the time we got to the parking lot of their complex Iggy was having trouble breathing.

"AND I'LL SEARCH FOR SO LONG!" I sang at the top of my lungs, finishing the song Broken Wings by Alter Bridge.

I knocked on the door and was greeted by three overly perky faces. We all hugged each other hello except for Ella and Iggy. They shared a kiss that Nudge, Angel, and I all started gagging over.

"Get a room!" I teased. They glared at us but pulled apart.

"This is gonna be so much fun! We can invite everyone else over and have, like, a small party! We can play games and eat junk food and watch scary movies! I once saw this one movie and it was really creepy. It had Ashton Kutcher in it and it was called the Moth Effect or something like that.(A/N Butterfly Effect! :D) Does any-" I clamped a hand over Nudge's mouth before my ears exploded.

We all agreed to invite everyone over and head to the arcade in town.

"Come on, Max." Ella said tugging on my arm.

"Where are we going?" I asked standing up.

"To do your hair and makeup," She said with a 'duh' look on her face.

"Why?!" I said and stopped dead in my tracks.

"Fang's coming over!" She exclaimed.

"So? He likes me for me not makeup crap!" I said trying to escape back to the living room.

"But, MAX." Ella whined and gave me Bambi eyes. She knew I couldn't resist. I held my ground for about 2 minutes but then I broke.

"FINE!" I exclaimed and she dragged me to Nudge's room where Nudge and Angel were waiting.

After an hour of being plucked and prodded and sprayed they said I could go. They straightened my hair and added a little makeup. Only eyeliner and mascara because I wouldn't let them do anything else. I walked out to the living room in my usual T-shirt and jeans. Iggy was sitting on the couch watching TV. When he looked at me his jaw dropped but he quickly shut it.

"You look hot, Maxie." He said with a smirk.

"Shut up." I said and glared at him while I went to sit on the couch. About 30 minutes later someone knocked on the door. I opened it to see Fang.

"Hey!" I smiled when I saw him.

"Hey," He said and smiled back then his jaw opened slightly at the sight of me. He quickly recovered and leaned down to whisper in my ear.

"You look beautiful." His words tingled and sent shivers down my spine. I smiled up at him. We heard a person clearing their throat behind us and turned to see Iggy standing there with his arms crossed.

"Hey, Fang," He said with a smirk on his face. Fang smirked back and put his arm around my waist protectively. "Hey, Iggy, how's Ella doing?"

"She's fine." He responded. "Don't hurt my Maxie, Fang." And with that he turned and left toward the living room.

"I would never hurt you. You know that, right?" Fang said his face impassive but his eyes letting go of all of his emotions.

"Of course," I said and pulled him with me to the living room. His posture relaxed a little as I took his hand. We walked to the couch and sat down hand-in-hand. Angel, Nudge, and Ella walked in with huge grins on their faces. They said hi to Fang.

"So you like what we did to Max?" Angel asked. I glared at her.

"Yeah, but I think she's always beautiful." Fang said. I rolled my eyes and looked at him with a face that said 'cheesy'. He smirked back at me as if to say 'I know'. I leaned my head on his shoulder while we all waited for Gazzy to show up.

After 10 minutes of waiting my impatience grew to a record high. I tapped my foot and thought of all the song lyrics I could in my head. I apparently started to sing under my breath because Fang leaned down to whisper "You have a nice voice." in my ear. I turned red and muttered a "Thanks." Fang smirked at me and kissed the top of my head. His warm lips sent tingles down my spine.

Gazzy finally came and we all headed out to the arcade. Gazzy eyed Fang and my hands. I rolled my eyes at him.

"You don't need to be the protective friend, Gazzy." I said. He met my gaze and smirked at me. We walked into the arcade and I was bombarded with the flash of video screens and the sounds of lasers and techno music. We made our way to a booth and squeezed in. Iggy and Gazzy left to go get the tokens to play games and the girls went to do their makeup, so it was just Fang and I. We sat next to each other, holding hands in a comfortable silence.

"You know that you don't need to wear makeup to look pretty, right?" Fang broke the silence. I looked up at him from my place leaning on his shoulder and saw his deep eyes staring back at me. I nodded and realized we were getting closer. My heart raced and I couldn't take my eyes off of Fang's face. The way his hair swooped perfectly across his forehead right below his eyebrows, how his eyes gave off every emotion he felt, his perfect lips. My eyes fluttered shut and my lips met his. At first it was soft and gentle, but then we started to press a little harder. Our lips moving in sync, his mouth was soft yet firm against mine. I felt lightheaded until I remembered to breathe. Fang turned his head to kiss me more deeply and I melted into his arms. My hands went up to tangle in his hair and his arms secured around my waist.

Someone cleared their throat behind us and we quickly broke apart and whipped our heads to look at the person. Lissa and Dylan were standing there smirking at us. I immediately glared at them.

"What do you want?" I spat.

"Aww, did we ruin Maxie's wittle moment with Fang?" Lissa teased. I saw red but not from embarrassment so much as anger.

"Actually you kind of did." I started. "I'm sure that never happened when you were with Fang, though, Lissa, 'cause you didn't have any moments." Lissa turned red and spun on her heel. She dragged Dylan with her.

"Sorry," Fang said looking down.

"What for?" I asked.

"I shouldn't have taken the kiss any farther."

"You did nothing wrong, Fang. It's Lissa with the stick up her butt." I said and put my arms around him. He put his arms around me and smiled. It lit up my world and I couldn't help smiling back.

"Are the two lovebirds having fun?" Iggy asked sitting down next to us.

"Yes." I said and smiled at him.

"Aww!" The girls exclaimed when they saw me and Fang with our arms around each other.

"Whatever. Let's go play some games!" Gazzy said.

A/N Yay! Chapter 8! I put in Fax for you. You're welcome. ;) Should I put Nazzy in this story? (Nudge+Gazzy) Sorry it's kind of short.
