Story summary: The Ride's and the Walker's are family friends. However, the oldest child of each family, Fang and Max, hate each other. Suddenly, when they are both 17 their parents break the news that they are going to get married to each other in 2 years. Will the two people become lovers or will they become even worse than enemies? Sorry for the stupid summary. It's my first story. Please read! All human.

WARNING: This story was written back when I was in middle school and I cringe when I look back at it. Be warned. It's pretty bad.

Disclaimer: I (sadly) do NOT own Maximum Ride or its characters. Darn.

Prologue

Third-person POV

"Ride."

"Walker."

The two six year olds glared at each other as their mothers cooed over how cute they both looked.

"Smile, both of you!" Max's mom, Valencia Martinez, said as Fang's mom, Anne Walker, went to go get their backpacks. They didn't smile.

15 minutes later

Both children sat on the bus, one sitting at the very back and one sitting at the very front to stay as far away as possible.

"Come on Max, what's so bad about Fang?" Max's friend, J.J., questioned.

"Who is Fang? Oh! You mean that black haired emo-goth dude who lives next door to me?" Max spat making sure that he could hear her even over the crowd.

"Iggy?" Fang asked his friend sitting next to him.

"Yeah?"

"You know who always smells like doggy poo-poo?" (AN: they're only in 1st grade. Of course they wouldn't be cursing or anything. Either way, there's going to be close to no cursing in this story.)

"Who?"

"Max."

Max, who heard this, walked up to the front seat despite the fact that the bus was still moving and said, "Nick."

Fang turned around his head, his mouth in a triumphant smile.

"You're an idiot," Max said before slapping him across the face, instantly making Fang reach up to his burning cheek. Then she stomped back to the back of the bus, which, now, was silent for the rest of the way to school.
In Recess

The bell rang signalizing the start of recess. A bunch of little first-graders ran out onto the playground and the teachers sat on the benches under the shade.

"Watch this, J.J.!" a smiling Max shouted as she sat atop the yellow slide. Her friend gave her a thumb's up which meant, 'Sure!'

"Wheeee!"

A giggling Max hopped off from the bottom of the slide and stepped to go walk over to her friend. Suddenly a heavy weight was pushed on top of her back making her fall on the mulch, her breath leaving in a great 'oof.' Before anyone knew it, Max was crying and the person who accidentally made her fall was helping her up.

"Oh my gosh!" the boy said, his blue eyes filled with concern. "Are you okay?"

"Ye-" Max was about to reply before Fang pushed his way through the crowd.

"Move," he said harshly to the little boy who backed away, his eyes still wide.

"We need to get you to the nurse's office," Fang said examining her scraped knee surrounded by a crowd of interested children. "Let's go."

Max slung her skinny arms around his neck and Fang carried her piggyback styled to the teachers, huffing and puffing the entire way, where they got permission to go to the office (and one of the teachers to help him carry her).

"God, be careful Max," he said harshly as she sat on a chair.

"It wasn't my fault, it was that twerp's fault," she said stubbornly.

"You still got hurt," he sighed as the nurse wiped her wound with an alcohol wipe making her flinch. "Don't make me worry, okay?"

"Sorry, Fang," Max muttered as she clutched the sides of the chair.

"Okay! Luckily your friend-" the nurse started.

"He's not my friend," Max hastily told the nurse.

"Well, you're lucky that he brought you here quickly or else it would have been infected a lot more than it was now!" the nurse said flashing a white smile at the two kids. "So, now you can both head back to the field for the rest of recess."

"Yay!" both of them cheered.

"However, you might want to let that leg rest for a while. So I suggest you take it easy and maybe just do something in the shade."

The pair left the office and raced back to the playground where they then continued to ignore one another, one at the benches playing a board game with her friends and the other on the swings occasionally glancing at them.

'Kids these days...' the nurse thought, while wiping off her hands. 'So cute!'

So how was it? I know it was pretty short and I'm so sorry. Hope you like it though and I promise the next chapter will be longer! R&R! :)
