Flying Off

Annalessa Matthews, Maximum Ride, Nudge Harding, and Angel Shadows are the world's most famous pop stars. They've been attacked by paparazzi and kidnapped. But what's the worst thing that's ever happened to them? High school. They are now back in their home town and no one recognizes them except for that they are pop stars. Max now has a chance at getting back at her old arch enemy, Fang Walker. But when they are told to stay until senior year, what will happen?


May 14th, 2005

Annalessa

I stood with my best friends in the hallway of our high school. It would just be another day. Let it be normal. When I walked to my locker and opened it, I was shoved against it and my books fell to the floor. I looked up and saw Fang Walker. He smiled down on me and walked off with his posse.

I got up and ran to Max's locker.

"We need to take that record deal." I said urgently.

She turned and looked at me.

"What? I thought you didn't want to take it." She said confused.

"Well now I do. Get Nudge and Angel, tell them that we're getting dressed up and taking that record deal before someone else gets it." I said and ran back to my locker.

I emptied the contents into my backpack and took off running.


We met up at my house and got changed.

I was wearing a pair of jean short shorts with a sky blue t-shirt that said, 'I am flying out of this life.', and blue converse. Nudge looked at me and nodded.

She was wearing a black skirt with a scoop necked pink shirt along with black heels.

Angel came out and showed off her green short shorts along with black heels and a white tank top.

Finally Max came out in a red shirt, black short shorts, and black converse.

Nudge squealed and put my hair in a messy bun. She handed me my feather clip and wove it into my bun. Then she put my silver hoops in and squealed. I grabbed my sliver necklace with the bow and arrows on it and put it on.

Max's hair was now in a pony tail. She was also wearing her golden wing earrings with her wing necklace.

Angle's hair was in a braid down her back and had a pair of green guitars as her earrings. Her pink heart hung around her neck.

Nudge put her hair into a side pony tail and then put her white hoops in. Finally she put her grey owl around her neck and we were off to the studios.


I pulled into the parking lot and we got out. We walked right inside and stopped at the desk. The woman looked up and pointed towards the recording booths. We got inside and Mark gave us thumbs up.

"Well, umm, we are Flying Off and this is our song Secrets." I said into the michrophone and we started.

I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess

'Til all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
I've been on the brink,
so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My God, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve

And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
But I don't really like my flow, no, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'ma tell you everything

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away, all my secrets away

"This is for all of those who gave us a reason to keep this secret. Here's our next song. It's called Bleeding Out." Max said and strummed her guitar.

I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you
(for you)

When the day has come
That I've lost my way around
And the seasons stop and hide beneath the ground
When the sky turns gray
And everything is screaming
I will reach inside
Just to find my heart is beating

You tell me to hold on
Oh you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong

'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you
(for you)

When the hour is nigh
And hopelessness is sinking in
And the wolves all cry
To fill the night with hollering
When your eyes are red
And emptiness is all you know
With the darkness fed
I will be your scarecrow

You tell me to hold on
Oh you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong

'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you
(for you)

I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
I'm bleeding out for you

'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you
(for you)

"That was our song Bleeding Out. This is our final song Arizona. Sorry, but we only are one band. Maybe we will come back one day or someday, but don't let it down you. We will be around." Nudge said and hit her piano chords.

So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
Right to the top
Don't look back
Turning the rags and giving the commodities a rain check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

This road never looked so lonely
This house doesn't burn down slowly
To ashes, to ashes

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

"This is it, we are Flying Off." I said and the radio guy shut the recording off.

We walked out and came to find a crowd of people outside of the studio trying to get in. We all looked at each other and smiled. We were a hit.

Fang

I was sitting in the car with Iggy, Dylan, Iggy, and Gazzy. Dylan was lounging in the back seat and groaned.

"Fang, turn on the radio." He asked me none too politely.

I turned it on and a girl's voice rang from it.

"This is for all those who gave us the reason to keep this secret. Here's our next song. It's called Bleeding out." She said and a guitar was strummed.

"Wait, that sounds like Maximum Ride. What's she doing on the radio?" Dylan asked sitting straight.

I looked at the station number and frowned. The radio station was only a few minute ride from school. I listened to the next two songs and almost gasped in surprise when they said they were leaving. What happened to those girls?
