Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride, only the plot. :D (I love those smiles :D)

Yes, I do realize Fang is completely out of character. He will change. I just thought this was something new and really liked the idea.

Fang POV

You know how in those teen movies it's always the sometimes nerdy, nobody girl who wins the heart of the popular guy? I say they can go screw themselves, because sometimes it's the nerdy GUY who's in love with the girl. I, myself, am one of them. That's right, nerdy nobody Fang is in love with Maximum Ride. She might not be the most popular person alive, but she is definitely the most beautiful, strongest (mentally AND physically), smartest, most caring girl I know. She's got these chocolate brown eyes I could just get lost in, and the most amazing dirty blonde hair. Just the sight of her makes me weak-kneed with happiness. The way her stride sprouts confidence without being overly full of herself.

The only problem is I've never have the nerve to talk to her.

I mean, I've definitely tried. But it seems every time I open my mouth to say something she turns to leave or someone else comes by to talk to her. Then again, no one really talks to me. I'm like the total cliché of a nerd. Plaid shirt, slightly greasy black hair, pocket protector, an almost unlimited knowledge on computers. The only reason my name is so cool is because my mom was nineteen when she had me and was in a rebellious stage. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom. She's not one of those drunks who beat the heck out of their kids because they regret having them. In fact, she loves kids so much, five years later she had another, my sister Angel. Again, weird name, but that's just how my mother is.

Anyway, back to the situation at hand. The thing is I can't stand not being with Max. . . .Max. . . . Sorry, spaced out a bit. See what she does to me? Right now we're in lunch. I, of course, am sitting alone. Nobody wants to hang with the nerd. Sigh. But I don't mind it that much. I mean, at least I get to look at Max sitting three tables down from me without having someone interrupt me. (Man, do I sound stalkerish.) I can see her eating her unusual amount of food, talking to her best friend Iggy and her half-sister Ella.

Oh, God. She just flipped her hair.

Okay, breath. Just breath. I really do need help. I turned back to my ham sandwich, finishing just before the bell rang. I decided I'd try talking to her again. Can't be too hard, right? Just walk up to her and say 'hi'. I took a deep breath, walked up behind her, and was just about to say something. . . . when she walked away fast. She didn't even know I was there! Shocked, I just stood there, mouth hanging wide and frozen in place with disappointment.

I won't bore you with the details of the rest of my day, which mostly consist of people teasing me and me ogling Max, nor will I explain my walk home. When I got home, I just walked through the front door and to my room. Here's the thing. If you ever see my room, you might notice that it's nearly all black. It's my favorite color. I don't really know why I don't wear black more.

I flopped down on my bed, exhaling loudly. I laid there for a couple more minutes before forcing myself to stand up and do my homework. Like I said before, I won't bore you with the details. I noticed that Angel came home, and that her best friend Nudge (Nickname. Not everyone in this story has a weird name.) was with her. I sighed. They could get quite scary when together. So, you can understand my fear when there was a knock on my door and they both entered my room.

"Hey, Fang," Angel said smiling sweetly. Uh oh, you NEVER TRUST THAT SMILE! I gave her a weary look in return. I don't usually say much. It's just not who I am.

"We were talking about that girl you stalk, Max, and we thought we could help."

I opened my mouth to deny that stalking comment, but then her words sunk in. Could they really help? So instead I said, "I'm listening."

Crap! Her smile just turned evil! RUN! Unfortunately I didn't. No, I just sat there at my desk listening to their proposition, and you know what? I loved it.

I really want to know what you think of this, but you don't have to review. I'm not one of those crazies who demand reviews in order to update. I do request that you send me ideas, seeing as I usually suck at coming up with them and I don't want to disappoint anyone who actually wants to read this. Thanks :D
