Max POV:
Gahhh! The one thing I hate more than starting high school for the first time is- well, starting high school for the first time as a SENIOR! I didn't understand why my mom and dad didn't want me to go to a public school instead of that highly expensive private school where it doesn't matter what grade your in. That's right, it depends on your grades and you I.Q. score. that explains why my genius, 13 year old little sister was in my class with me. Its not that I'm STUPID- she's just really, really smart.
I think I should fill you in on a couple of things...my name is Maximum (Max for short) Ride.I am 16 years old and a senior in high school. (Impressive, right?)I have a 13 year old genius sister named Ella Martinez (she got our mom's last name and I got my dad's. My parents' names are Valencia Martinez and Michael Ride. What sucks about my life is that my father died when I was seven so now my mom is married to a man named Jeb Martinez, hints the sister's and mother's last doesn't suck is that Jeb let me keep my father's last name and he still treats me like his own even if I don't call him 'dad'.
Back to the present. Today was my first day of going to a real public high school and I was a nervous wreck. But of course me being the great Max Ride I didn't even show it. I let Ella choose my outfit and do my make-up since today was an oh so special day. I told her I wanted to fit in so I made her make me look like I was 18. I wasn't wearing anything slutty, I looked more mature though. I was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans that were ripped from my thighs down to my knees. My shirt was a lime green camisole with a black button down shirt which was unbuttoned. I wore a pair of lime green knee-high converses with black laces and my hair was down and straightened.I looked like I could pull off the 18 look. My make-up helped out too. It wasn't too much but enough to make me seem mature.
After 30 minutes of torture from Ella doing my make-up, (Hey, I never said I liked it), I finally headed to the kitchen to grab a quick breakfast and I headed out the door with Ella in tow. We got into my black and red Ford Charger and headed off for our first day of high school.
