Life's not easy when your mum's nuts, your uncle is becoming your aunt, and one of your crushes could -- and probably would -- break your face if he found out how you felt about him. That's Tab's life, though, malevolent gods and all. His text-flirting with Demi, the brother of his best friend, is going nowhere: Demi already has a boyfriend and anyway, who dates their best friend's twin? But then, the pining after Nick is going nowhere either, because Nick probably likes gay-bashing on Friday nights for fun. He's gorgeous, but he's dangerous, and Tab knows better than that. So what's a bit of harmless flirting, when one is taken and the other is straight? It's just a bit of fun. That is until Demi is suddenly single, and Nick is not looking as straight and scary as he was before.

The Suicidal Peanut

Speaking of Maxi…he grinned, scrolling through his contacts, and sent a quick text once he’d checked. Haha Maxi your plan failed! He could afford to do it. Between classes was boring: the training rooms were off-limits due to, well, the class (duh…) and there was nobody in the lobby because, well, they were in the class (see previous parentheses). To top it off, that afternoon was the advanced class, which meant no lost newbies, friends dragged along to watch, or, really, anyone who’d not been coming to the same place for at least two years and therefore knew exactly where everything was.


Ergo, Tab wasn’t needed. Ergo, he was going to spend the next twenty minutes or so taunting Maxi.


Your plan to slip your bro’s number into my phone :) I checked, no new contacts under suspiciously bland names!


Yeah? Check the number u have under ‘maxi’ ;) this is her ‘bro’, mate!
