Roommates (A Maximum Ride Fanfic)

Chapter 2

Fang POV

I walked up to Lissa's door and knocked. A few seconds passed and a really hot girl answered the door. She had hair the color of honey with natural brown lowlights. Her lips were naturally pink and perfectly shaped. She had tan skin and chocolate eyes. I stared at her for a second while she asked if I was looking for Lissa.
"Yeah, I'm Fang." I said offering her my hand. She took it and introduced herself as Max, Lissa's roommate.
"Lissa's not here, so you can come in and wait for her." she said stepping aside. I walked into the dorm and heard music playing.

Max POV

Fang walked into the living room and sat down on the couch, bobbing his head to the music. I sat on the opposite side of the couch and turned the music up. It was Modest Mouse's The World At Large.
"Ice age, heat wave, can't complain..."
"I love this band." Fang said
"Really? Me too." I said. "My friends and I love them." we talked about their songs for 10 minutes.
"What other bands do you listen to?" he asked.
"Paramore, Incubus, Breaking Benjamin, Panic! At the Disco, Linkin Park, etc. Those are my favorite ones."
"Those are my favorite bands too." Fang said looking at me.
"Weird," I said looking into his eyes. We both sat there, not moving. His eyes had trapped me.

Just then the front door opened and Lissa walked in. Both mine and Fang's heads turned toward her.
"Oh, Fangy!" she said when she saw Fang. Her annoyingly high voice becoming higher at the end. "I'm so sorry you had to listen to this crap." she said wrinkling her nose in distaste.
"I don't think it's crap." Fang said.
"Oh," Lissa said looking uncomfortable, "I'm still sorry you had to deal with...her." she glared at me.
"She was fine." Fang said. "Are you ready to go?"
"Just give me a sec." she turned on her heel and closed her bedroom door behind her.
"Something tells me you don't like each other." Fang turned to me.
"No we don't. At all." I answered. Lissa didnt come out for 20 minutes, so Fang and I talked about our favorite songs. He had the same taste in music and all the same favorite bands.

We were listening to Panic! At the Disco's I Write Sins Not Tragedies when Lissa came out in 4 inch heels, a tight jean miniskirt, and a sequined tank top.
"Ready!" she said.
"Took you long enough." I muttered under my breath. The sides of Fang's mouth twitched at my comment. He stood and followed Lissa towards the door.
"Nice meeting you, Max." he said before closing the door. I say there surprised that Lissa was dating someone nice before turning off the music and turning on the TV.

Fang POV

I drove Lissa and I to the movies and bought our tickets. I was puzzling over why I had talked so much around Max. I probably said more than I usually say in a week. It was like Max sucked all the information out of me like a vacuum. Her big chocolate eyes kept popping up into my head.

I didn't even realize the movie was over before Lissa tugged my hand. Why can't I get Max out of my head? I pondered on the drive to Lissa's dorm.
"Fang?" Lissa looked at me.
"Huh?" we were in front of her door.
"Aren't you gonna kiss me goodnight?"
"Oh yeah, sorry." I leaned in to kiss her. Her lips met mine. Her kiss didn't feel right but I stayed where I was. She pulled back and said "Goodnight,". Her door slammed shut before I could get the word out.

Max POV

Lissa walked in at 9ish. She walked straight to her room and slammed the door. I was eating popcorn on the couch watching TV. The popcorn was slightly burnt and I mentally groaned that I couldn't even make popcorn. I really am a terrible cook. I had just turned on "The Proposal".

When the movie finished, I turned the TV off and headed to my room. I pulled up the covers and climbed into bed. Fang had been running through my mind ever since he and Lissa left for their date. He was so different from Lissa's other boyfriends. He didn't try to hit on me and he wasn't full of himself. This was Lissa's first boyfriend I might actually become friends with. The last thing that popped into my head were Fang's obsidian eyes.
