Max's P.O.V.

It's a normal every day. I'm in Drama class, I've tried out for the play. My teacher loves seeing everyone's reactions so instead of leaving a list for everyone to read, he himself reads it to everyone.

"Ok so Fang, you're going to be Romeo and Max, you're going to me Juliet" He said as he started calling people Wait, wait, wait. No, this cannot be happening. Not Fang!

"What? But I didn't even try out for that part! I wanted to be the friend!" The one that helps Juliet! Why can't other person be Juliet! Juliet is pretty! Why me, why does everyone hate me?!

"I'm sorry Max but we, meaning the judges, thought that you were best for that part" The teacher told me, I sighed and walked away, the only reason I tried out for this stupid play was for college. I am a great artist but I am also good for Photography which is what I want to apply for. But I have to start (In 7th grade) art, music, dance, and everything artistic which are the awesome classes except for the fact that Fang is in every single one of them.

Fang was the popular guy in school, good at sports, arts, and and-apparently-girls. He knows how to charm a girl right off her feet with his smooth words and voice but he is my worst enemy. I've known him since 2nd grade when he kicked me and stole my chocolate chip cookie so I chased him, beat him down and got in trouble. *sigh* Good times, good times.

"So Ride, betcha can't wait to kiss me in the play" He winked, I wanted to throw up on him right then and there.

"Oh I can wait; I don't even want the day to come. Who would want to kiss you anyway Walker?" Who wouldn't?

"Just about 99% of the school, other than-"

"Yeah, yeah I know. I'm the 1% now can you leave?"

"Hmmmmm let me think about it…Nah I like making you bite you're lip and blush. Especially when you're extremely mad or annoyed now that's when you're really hot." Yes, yes this wasn't the first time when Fang called me hot. He usually did it to annoy me and I don't know why it does.

"See, there's the lip biting but where the blush is-oh wait spoke too soon" My face heated up, I wanted to kill this kid.

"Ugh! You're so annoying!" I punched him and stormed off. He better be withering in pain, because I am not looking back.

"Maximum Ride, please come down to the office. I repeat Maximum Ride we need you down in the office immediately" Ugh! What did I do now? I entered Mr. Stanley's (The principal) office.

"Oh hey Max" he said looking up from his papers.

"What up Jacob?" he looked at me sternly. Ha-ha I've been here so many times, I know his first name.

"Max…" he warned.

"Jacob…" I said in the same tone.

"Ma-" I interrupted.

"You know you have a modern name for a 60yr old" I thought that back then in the 1400 people would have weird names, not the modern day ones.

"I'm only 30" he stated…oh this guy lost his child stages young.

"Oh…"

"Ok you know why you're here" he stated as fixed a pile of papers on his desk. I stood up, went to a file cabinet of his and took out a sucker.

"Not really actually" I said as I plopped it into my mouth.

"You punched Lisa and knocked Sam unconscious with your skateboard" Sam is my friend, I was raising my skateboard, he smacked straight into it. Lisa is a bitch…

"Oh yeah, I remember now" I said as I thought back

"Yeah….uh detention, suspension, or get expelled" we've already been through this, I get to chose what I do, he chooses for how long I get to do it.

"Oh Yay! I get to choose. Let me see I'll take…"
