Hey guys. It's UrWrstNitemare and this is my first serious fan fiction. I cowrite this with MaxRideGirl14. If you haven't already read her story Falling, you should. It's really good.

He walks down the hallway, his long lean body covered in black clothes and attitude. His raven black hair falls right above his muscular shoulders. His arm draped around his ** of a girlfriend, Lissa. She flips her perfectly straightened hair out of her face and smirks at me. My skinny jeans and converse look doesn't stand a chance against her designer clothes and shoes.

We used to be friends, Fang and I. When we were 10, our families used to be super close and we would always hang out. He kissed me once, but that was it. Once we made it to high school, he ditched his braces and greasy hair and started working out. Then he became the most popular boy in school. We never talked again.

I sighed, pushed up my glasses and started to walk to class, dreaming about the day when he realizes that I'm perfect for him.

My best friend Nudge caught up with me in the hallway. "Hey Max! How's it going?", she said with a lot of cheer. "Fine.", I said, still sad. "Max, sweetie, what's wrong?" See this the thing I love about Nudge: She always knows when I'm upset. "Fang.", I said.

"Don't worry, Max. One day, he'll come around. Ooh, I know! You should let me give you a makeover! You could really lose those shoes. I just bought a whole make-up set last week at the mall.", she said. "Ummm, I'll think about it." I said.

Once me and Nudge reached biology, we sat in our seats and waited for our teacher.

"Class, today you will be partnered up with someone for a biology project.", Mr. Jones said in a boring voice. I kinda zoned out until I heard my name being called. "Max, you'll be working with Nick.", he said and moved on to the next person. My fluttered and started to do flips. After he got done telling everyone who would be with who, he said: "Now that you know who you'll be working with, get together and start brainstorming ideas." Fang pulled up a chair to my desk. "Hi.", he said. "H-hey.", I told him back. The words felt very weird coming out of my mouth. There was a awkward moment of silence. "So what should we do it on?, he asked breaking the silence. "Ummmmm, what about Toxicity of Nicotine ?, I said. (A.N.: That's an actual project.) "Sure.", he said.

"So, how have things been?", he asked. So now he wanted to know. "Good.", I said, not wanting to give him any information. He started to tell me things about his little sister Angel and conversation flowed from there. Maybe we can be friends again.

The bell rang. Signaling the end of class. "So should I come to your house or should you come to mine?", he asked once we were in the hallway. "Ummmm, I guess I'll come to yours.", I said. "Cool, see you the-."

That message got cut because some one said: "Hey Fangy!". It was Lissa. She walked up and kissed him and they started talking. That broke my heart. I kinda wandered off to the bathroom. I wasn't even in there for 5 minutes before Lissa came in.

" Listen here, you little wannabe. You stay away from my man. He's mine. Maybe if you were prettier, you'd be a threat, but let's face it: Fang needs a real woman, so stop drooling over him. ", she said with pure ** coming out of her mouth while she talked. Man, I wanna punch her pretty little face. Then she looked in the mirror, did something to her hair, and left leaving me in shock.

I was changing into my gym clothes when I heard snickering. I turned around and realized that Lissa and her posse were pointing at me. I turned around and choked back tears. Just hurry up and change., I thought. After I slipped on my trainers, I walked out of there as fast as I could.

"Today, we'll be playing dodge ball. Lissa and Brittany: Get on opposite sides of the gym. Everyone else in the middle.", Coach Glawson barked. Once everyone was where they were supposed to be, she blew her whistle. That meant the game has begun. We all ran in different directions. On the 7th round, I got hit by the ball. I sat on the bleachers and waited for the game to end.

"Ok class! Good game. Lissa, nice aim.", Coach said. While I was walking, I heard a faint "Watch this." and footsteps. I saw a glimpse of red hair before something caught my leg and I tripped. I hit the floor head first. The last thing I saw was Coach Glawson looking at me before I sank into darkness.

I woke with a mind-splitting headache. I looked at my surroundings before I realized I was in the nurse's office. "What happened?", I asked groggily. "Honey, you fell head first onto the gym floor. The impact on your head caused you to pass out. Luckily, there was no brain or skull damage, but you're going to have a headache. Take some aspirin for that when you get home.", she said. Then things started coming back to me.

The whispering. The red hair. This only meant one thing: Lissa. Stupid **. , I thought in my head.

"Here is your slip to go home. Take it to the office so they won't count it as skipping school. Hope, you feel better.", she said sympathetically. I took it to the office, got a note from them to give to my mom, and walked to my car. When time rolled around 3:30, I texted Nudge:

I'm in.

That's our first chapter! Read and review! :D
