MAX POV
Great, another day of school, I thought. My name's Maximum Ride, but everyone calls me Max, because if you don't then I kick your ass. My mom is a Doctor at the local Vet, Valencia Ride and my dad, Jeb Ride, works as a teacher at Loyola University. Which means that I don't get to see him that much. I mean, he's all the way in New Orleans and we're in Boston!
He never really visits, since he and mom got divorced, and he wants my twin brother, Iggy (James), and I to go visit him. Dad loves us very much and so does mom. My brother and I go to the same high school (Duh) and we have every class together. Mom forced us to ask the Principle if we could have the same schedule. We both even have the same elective, Concert Band. We're both part of a band with our other best friends, we call ourselves Wings Reed.
Anyways, my brother and I are riding our skateboards to school, since our motorcycles are with a mechanic. I saw the school through my sunglasses and tried to go faster.
Iggy told me to slow down, but I kept going faster.
See, I'm the daredevil in the family, unlike my brother, who's only bad thing he's done is make bombs explode.
Yup. You heard me. He can probably build an atomic bomb if he wants to. He's a "good child." Anyway, we're about to enter the school parking lot.
"Yo! Max! Slow down!" he shouted behind me. I looked back and saw him struggling to go faster.
"Come on! You slow poke!" I teased. I kept looking at him. I'm an expert on this thing. Iggy looked up and his eyes widened and shouted for me to stop.
"Max! Stop!" he shouted.
"What!?" I asked and turned around. A silver Volvo is crossing my path and I can't stop! I'm gasping and trying to slow down, but my leg will probably break if I put it down. I jumped down from it and just in time. I skidded to a stop and sighed. Just then I saw my skateboard go under the stupid Volvo. It just slowed down and it stopped under it! I groaned and walked up to the car. The windows are so dark, I can't see who's driving. Instead, I crouched down trying to reach my skateboard. My hand felt the asphalt until I felt the skateboard. Got it! I pulled it back then BAAM!
Someone opened the passenger door to the car making me fall back, my head throbbing.
I felt dizzy and saw triple of everything. I heard the car's door open and heard someone kneel beside me.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" asked a male's gorgeous voice. Wait, forget I said that.
I opened my eyes and tried to adjust them to a boy who was hovering above me. Make that, three same boys. Oh god I'm hallucinating. But I could see he has jet-black hair, eyes that match the same color as his hair and he looks hot. Forget I said that too. His face was pale and anxious. He relaxed when I sat up.
"Ow!" I groaned and covered my forehead.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"Do I look alright to you?" I snarled. He sighed in relief, smiled, and stood up. He extended his hand and I took it. He helped me get up and I heard Iggy catch his breath beside me.
"You okay, sis?" he wheezed. I nodded, which made my head hurt even more.
"Do you want me to take you to the office?" he asked.
"No," I said and stared at the boy's alluring eyes.
"My name's Fang Walker," he said, extending his hand. I took it and shook it.
"Mine's Max," I said and let go of his strong, warm, calloused hand. I wonder if I can hold it again. Oh god! Bad Max, I thought. My vision adjusted and I blinked a few times. I've never seen this guy here before.
"Isn't that a boy's name?" he asked. I snapped.
"Isn't yours a dog's name?" I scowled.
"Touché. Anyways, are you fine?" he asked.
"Yes! I am!" I said and heard Iggy clear his throat next to me. Oh, right.
"Fang this is Iggy, my twin brother. Iggy this is Fang, the guy who hit me with the door," I said casually. Iggy snorted and shook Fang's hand.
"Hey are you new here?" asked Igtard. Fang nodded and took his hand away.
"Yeah, I moved here from Texas. We moved in last week," he said. Texas? Why is here?
"Isn't that pretty far? I mean why would you come here?" I asked. Iggy swatted my arm and shot me a look that said 'be nice!' and smiled at him. I rolled my eyes and stared at the new kid.
"Well, my dad got a job here and we decided we needed a new home," he said with a shrug.
"You're not gonna miss your friends?" asked Ig. Fang shook his head.
"I don't have any," he said. I opened my mouth to say something but the school bell rang.
"We should get going," I said and gripped Iggy's arm, trying to lead him to the school, but he pulled me back.
"We should show him around, make him feel welcome. You know, he could be a part of our group," he whispered. I looked at the Fang guy and saw him heading toward the office. He could be an additional person to your group, said my Voice. Yeah I have a voice in my head that tells me rights and wrongs. Deal with it. Ugh! Alright!
"Fine!" I hissed and we ran up to the guy. I tapped his shoulder, making him turn around.
"We could show you around school if you want and you could have lunch with us," I said. He smiled at me and nodded. My heartbeat went on turbo mode. I returned the smile and stared into his eyes, hypnotized. Ig poked me from behind, making me get back to earth. I blinked and looked towards the main office.
"Alright let's get going," I muttered and walked towards the office. It's going to be a long day.
