CHAPTER 1

"Hey is Fang and Iggy ready yet?" I asked, holding my blondey brown hair out of my eyes, as their door opened and revealed a tall blonde haired boy; he was quite cute with lovely blue eyes. I am Maximum Martinez but everyone calls me Max, I'm 15,– it's easier – I live with my mom, and my sisters; Nudge 14 (Also a nick name as she doesn't shut up), Ella 13 and Angel. Angel is the youngest at 6 years old she's really sweet though can be a bit demanding at times.

I was calling for my best friends Iggy and Fang both 15. We had been best friends since I could remember, obviously Fang and Iggy were nicknames too, Fang's real name is Nick Ride but since he was emo like (even though he isn't he just likes the colour black) he decided he liked the nickname Fang. And Peter Ride is Iggy don't ask me why he wanted to be called Iggy it is beyond me, though anything is better than Peter isn't it? They were brothers – clearly – and had two other brothers one called Dylan 15(the blue eyed one) and Gazzy 6 – another nickname – and again I have no idea what his real name is. I never had much to do with those two I just saw them occasionally, although I did have a slight crush on Dylan I mean who wouldn't? He is like a male model or something!

"Oh hey Max, come in they'll be down in a minute." He said moving to the side so I could go in

"Thanks, you ok?" I had no idea what to say at all

"Yeah I'm good, you lot walking to school? Do you mind if I join you?" He asked

"I do actually." Said Fang walking down the stairs wearing a very nice leather jacket and tatty jeans

"Oh be nice and lovely coat." I said admiring it as he jumped the last two steps

"Thanks. And why?" He said laughing

"Oh come on what's the worst that could happen? And where the hell is Iggy?" I asked looking up the dark stairs being boys they didn't think that they needed lights on.

"I'm here!" Called down Iggy to then walk into the wall, making me and Fang burst out laughing, we had no idea whether he meant to do that but it was funny.

"Don't fall down the stairs!" I shouted up barely able to see the outline of him. "Why don't you put the lights on?"

"Dunno. Can't be bothered."

"Lazy." I said pushing Fang out of the door "Hurry up! You don't want to be late for Nudge do you?" I called to Iggy. They go out and have been for the last year of so, it was taking them to long so me and Fang helped them along a bit.

"So does that mean I can come?" Asked Dylan

"Sure." I said looking over my shoulder at him grinning at him, making him smile back it was a lovely smile.

"Ace." He said jogging to catch up, we walk pretty fast.

"Whoa wait!" Shouted Iggy half running half trying to put on his trainers

"Time waits for no man!" Called Fang laughing knowing that Iggy always shouted that at him when he was late. Iggy soon caught us up, he is quite a runner the fastest in school, he was a sporty person joined all of the teams at school, well practically all of them except the girls teams obviously. Fang however was more into music; he had made a band with Dylan, Iggy (he likes music not as much as Fang though), Nudge, Travie, Dec and Kieran a few lads from school that we hang around with. The band was called 13ft Wingspan, not the best name but still it was good enough. The band hasn't been a proper band yet, it's more a few mates that can play instruments to meet in Fang and Iggy's house, and of course I'm there for moral support. I have been told to join, but only once they had all heard me sing. Because at this moment only Fang, Nudge and Travie and sing but Travie can only do raps.

We didn't live too far from school practically just around the corner; everyone was waiting for us at our bench – a bench that was the furthest out that we just claimed.

"Hey Igg" said Nudge running up and hugging him tightly, Fang and I just exchanged glances shaking our heads we should have done that years ago for them they'd have been so much happier.

"So do you and Fang go out?" Asked Dylan next to me once Fang had gone to wrestle with Travie – boys typical.

"No." I replied

"Oh, you know Max I like you."

"Yeah, you're not so bad yourself." I said keeping cool – well trying to anyway.

"I mean like like you." He said – oh how year 5 was that saying?

"Really?" I asked I mean we kinda knew each other but not much

"Yeah. Umm... would you... would you go out with me?" He asked nervously, he was so cute when he looked nervous and before I knew what I had said we were going out. He hugged me hard it was quite comforting; he let go moments before the bell went for the start of school. Fang ran to catch up with me – what had I done? I didn't love him not properly anyway and now we were going out – DISASTER!

"Whoa Max. I didn't think you liked Dylan?" He said once he had caught up with me luckily Dylan wasn't in my form and Fang and Iggy were.

"Umm... I didn't either." I confessed

"Why go out then? I mean why not just dump him? It's simple." He said walking with me to our table at the back of the room.

"I don't know; just see how it goes you know. I mean what's the worst that could happen?" I asked

"Stop saying that! And it's not fair to drag him along is it?"

"Sorry force of habit. He'll be the one dragging me along to be honest." I said staring into space "I know I don't love him... I love someone else... I think..."

"Who?"

"Hmm?" I asked snapping out of it "Who what?"

"Who do you love? You said you loved someone else not him."

"Did I? Oh right, umm... no one actually I don't know why I said that..." I lied going into space again "I'll dump him this time next week but if it's really bad then it'll be earlier ok?"

"Alright... you know I don't care about Dylan he's only a half brother he can just as easily fuck off to his dads who he does nothing but talk about. I mean I only really care that you'll be alright I mean we've been friends too long for me not to care about you."

"Oh thanks mate." I smiled and hugged him, he seemed quite taken aback but relaxed after a while. We let go once our form tutor came in – Mr Young – I mean his name is opposite to what he is, he is so old it is unbelievable! I'm amazed they haven't made him retire yet he must be 70 years old at the least although he looks older.

"Maximum Martinez! Maximum wake up girl!" He barked at me making me wake up even though I didn't know I was day dreaming

"Sorry Sir! Here Sir!" I called back

"No time in the day to be daydreaming girl!"

"Time waits for no man doesn't it sir?" Said Iggy sat next to me

"And no woman Peter. Don't be sexist not allowed these days. The world has changed since I was a child."

"And so has your sex sir! (That was actually said to one of my teachers once... twas horrific having that image in your head lol funny as like)" Laughed a random kid at the front implying sir was once a girl

"GO TO THE HEADTEACHERS OFFICE NOW!" He shouted his bald head getting redder as if her was going to explode, as we all rolled about laughing on our chairs but a few ended up on the floor.

"SHUT UP THE LOT OF YOU BEFORE YOU ALL END UP OUTSIDE THAT OFFICE!" He barked at us – oh I so hope we get a new teacher that has a sense of humour.
