Chapter Sixteen

“You really don’t get the whole staying away from my Maxx thing, do you?” Iris asks, smacking her tray down next to me on the lunch table. I glance up at her, seeing her perfect blonde hair is falling over her shoulders and her makeup is done to perfection. I tug at my pink hair, knowing I must look like crap with my tired eyes and lack of any makeup on. Abby slides into the seat opposite me, also looking great but in a more natural way. She smiles at me before opening her can of pop and pretending like there is no one else in the world as she plays on her phone. I put my sandwich down and face Iris, shrugging my shoulders at her question.

“He isn’t your Maxx, and he isn’t mine either,” I say. “I don’t want to argue with you over someone that is a total dickhead to me most of the time.” Abby bursts out in laughter while Iris doesn’t look one bit amused as she taps her fake nails on the table and muses over my words. I finish eating my food and drink my Coke before seeing if she is still looking at me, which she is. I quickly glance around the lunchroom and see how all the students are watching us, whispering between each other and no doubt taking bets that we are going to fight or something. I’m not crazy enough to even think a fight with Iris would go well, and I’m not fighting over Maxx damn Faraway.

“Maxx likes you…I know it,” she bites out. “Are you seriously telling me you don’t like him?”

“If I do or not, it isn’t your business,” I retort, because there is no way I am admitting anything to her. Especially not something like that.

“Remember, he is promised to me. I will always be there and never go away from his life. If you want to be with Maxx, you will have to fight me for the rest of your life to have him. So maybe you should just disappear and let him get over it,” she says, and I shake my head, looking away from her and going back to my food. I can’t deal with the bitch after everything I learnt today. I’m starting to think moving to this damn town was a terrible idea.

“Maxx said you know everything now,” Abby says into the awkward silence. I don’t know if her comment makes it more awkward or not, but I know I can’t just ignore her. At the end of the day, she is just here for her sister.

“That you guys are glowing aliens?” I ask and answer myself before she can. “Yep.”

“You will glow too,” Abby replies, grinning. I haven’t even thought about the fact I could have power, or I could possibly do that disappearing thing that Maxx does.

“I don’t know if I want to glow, it would make me crap at hide and seek,” I say, lightening the mood, and we both laugh.
