Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride, James Patterson does.

You know how in movies you always see people staring out of their windows when they are having writers block and then all of a sudden an idea suddenly comes to mind? Well I had been staring out of my window for the past twenty minutes and my paper still only said Maximum Ride in the top corner. My assignment for my creative writing class was to write a romance novel but how can I do that when I've never been in love? I took the class so I could write action or fantasy stories but I never thought that I would be forced to write about love.

So I stared out of the window trying to gain inspiration. I stared and I stared but nothing happened. Not a single bird flew past my window and I was starting to get drowsy, my eyelids starting to droop. I thought maybe I could close my eyes just for a minute and then I could get back to work.

I jerked up off my desk, awakened by the sound of someone outside my window. I looked outside and noticed it was considerably darker than it was when I fell asleep so I turned around to the clock only to see that it was 11:30 and I had sleep for six hours.

Pissed at myself I went to my window to see what woke me up in the first place. I glanced around the dark yard looking for movement and that's when I saw him. He was leaning against the side of the willow tree in my front yard looking like he was hiding from someone. He was dressed completely in black and had long black hair. I couldn't make out his facial features right away because of the dark but eventually my eyes focused and I saw the hottest guy my eyes had ever seen.

All at once I heard someone yell, "Fang, where did you go man. I'm going to leave if you don't get your ass out here." It was a boy's voice but I couldn't tell who it was because he was far away.

Fang sank lower behind the tree though instead of coming out. I tore my eyes away from his face to look for the source of the yelling but I couldn't see anybody around. He must have left. Okay, this is just getting weird. I'm not really the type of girl to sit around and wait to find out what's going on so, being my completely un-rash self I stormed out of my room, through the living room, and out the front door. I marched right over to the guy behind my tree called Fang, weird name but I guess having the name Maximum Ride, I can't really judge. I had to keep myself from laughing though because the dude jumped about twenty feet in the air.

"What the fuck! Who the hell are you", he yelled griping his chest and trying to catch his breath.

I replied sarcastically saying, "Huh, that's funny; I was going to ask you the same thing. It's not every day you find a stranger hiding behind a tree in your yard."

He gave me an odd look and I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes. "Well are you going to tell me who the hell you are or am I going to have to force you off of my property?" Yeah that's me, the caring hostess.

"I'm Fang", he said. "My family just moved in down the street. Listen I'm really sorry, I'll just leave you alone."

Well don't I feel like a bitch. I just yelled at the new kid, the very hot new kid that is. God Max, shake out of it. He started to turn away and all of a sudden I felt the need to stop him. "I'm Max." I said. "Maximum Ride"

He turned back to me with a smile and said, "Good to know I'm not the only one with a freak name here." He grinned at me and I swear I heard angels sing he was so beautiful right then.

"Thanks a lot," I said offended but I couldn't help but smile back at him. "So are you going to tell me why you're hiding behind a tree?"

"Oh, well I met this guy that lives next door to me, Iggy, and the kid won't leave me alone. We were hanging out earlier and now he wants to set me up with this girl Lissa. I'm not much of a blind date kind of guy so I got the hell out of there and am now trying to avoid him so he won't try to set me up with her again."

I couldn't help it. I started laughing hysterically and Fang just stared at me but I couldn't stop. I just kept laughing like a maniac. I probably went on for about ten minutes, literally rolling on the ground, with Fang staring down at me like I was a freak. Eventually I caught my breath and was able to speak again.

"Oh my God I'm sorry; it's just that Iggy is my best friend and Lissa, well, Lissa's a bit of a stalker and won't ever leave him alone. I believe he's trying to push her on you Fang. You better watch out." At my last words I started to laugh again and this time, Fang joined in.

Maybe something good can come from looking out of your window after all.
