This is my first fanfic and I hope you guys like it. Be as harsh as you want in reviews. I won't get mad. In this story, Max's personality is a lot like mine, except for her boldness.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the character's (except for Luke and Robyn and some other characters). The character's are all James Patterson from the Maximum Ride series.


Max POV

Hi, my name's Max. I know, isn't that a guy's name? Well it suits me as I am a tomboy. I go to St. Steven's Academy and am in all advanced classes. I know, what a geek! Well, I moved to Avondale, Arizona last week. It was the middle of the semester and we just had to jump right in. I haven't made many friends yet, but that was soon to change.

"Max! Hurry up and get down here. The neighbour's well be arriving soon," Mom shouts up at me.

I was up in my room trying to sort out my bookshelf. My room was all black, but it had purple, red and dark blue accents. (Don't worry, I'm not a Goth or emo. I just like those colours.) I had just finished painting it and was finally able to put the furniture up.

"Max!," Angel burst into my room. "Which colour looks best. This baby pink or baby blue tank top."

I stare at them, but they both look okay. I just randomly chose the blue.

"Thanks Max! It was so difficult to choose, but the blue does accentuate my eyes." Then Angel looks at me and her brow wrinkles. She's finally taking in the worn out black sweatpants matched with a red t-shirt with the words "This monkey ain't foolin around." "God Max! What are you wearing?"

"What's wrong with them. They're clean and comfy. No food stains."

Angel just stared at me and muttered, "I can't believe we come from the same gene pool." Then she left.

I stayed up in my room until my mom yelled again to come down, the guest's had arrived. Whoopee! (Note sarcasm)

Fang POV

"Fang, you know, you could smile a little. It won't kill you," Mom said while fussing about. "Make a good impression. They have a girl your age. Maybe you could become friends?"

I just shrugged in reply. I wasn't all that interested in the girl.

"OMG, you know they a boy Ella's age and boy/girl twin too. Wouldn't it be so cool if we all became friends. I hope the girls are like me. It would be so cool if we could, like go shopping together. Plus I hope the twin guy isn't as immature as Ari," Nudge babbled while glaring at Ari. "Maybe I should have worn my baby blue tank top. But the baby pink suits my skin colour. Don't you guys think so?"

"Nudge, sweetheart, we love to hear you talk, but maybe you shouldn't talk so much at the Cooper's house. They're just getting settled and your talking might startle them a little," Dad said glancing back at her.

-^*^-

The Cooper's were just like a stereotypical family. They all had light hair colour with blue eyes and were all tall, lean and fit.

"Welcome. My name's Robyn and this is my husband Luke. These are the kids, James, Gary and Angel. Wait, guys, where's Max," Mrs. Cooper looked around. "Excuse me for a second." She marches to the steps and calls up, "Max, this is your final warning."

Wait, I'm confused. I thought they had a daughter my age. It certainly wasn't Angel, who looked to much like Gary not to be his twin. Who's this guy, Max?
