I had lived with my dad for most of my life. After my parents devoiced my dad took me and my mom took my twin sister Maya. After many years one of the kids my dad worked with became really close with me. Later his parents died and he had no where to go so Jeb, my father adopted him and we became one small happy family. Well almost that was until my dad had to travel for his job and he would be gone for a hole year. Ari my adoptive brother went with him because he was one of the kids on the trip. So of corse I had to go live with my mom. Jeb, Ari, and I walked into the airport and went and got ready for our flights. Jeb was rich so I sat in first class. I wasn't surprised I mean my dad was Jeb Ride one of the most famous scientist in the world. My sister and I had different last names my name is Maximum 'Max' Ride and hers is Maya Martinez. Since I lived with our dad and she lived with our mom we went by their last name. I fell asleep on the ride from Chicago, Illinois to San Francisco, California wasn't as long as I thought it was but then again I was asleep for most of it. When I got off the plane there was no one to pick me up so I walked to their house because it wasn't far. When I finally got to their house it started to rain so I put up my hood. I knocked on the door and I heard voices from the other side and then the door opened. "Hi how may I help you" said a boy around my age. "Um is this the Martinez household?" I asked. "Yeah why?" he asked. "Um may I come in first?" I asked as it started to down poor. "Oh yeah sorry" the boy said and he moved away from the door and closing it behind me. "Oh thanks you for getting the door Fang and who's here?" my mother asked and when she saw me she ran over and hugged me. "Max! Sweetie your a day early. I'm so sorry I didn't know and how have you been?" she asked. I laughed. "I'm good mom. How are you and Maya?" I asked. "Oh were good" she said then turned and screamed "Maya get your butt down here" and then a voice called "coming". My twin sister walked down the stairs Just as I pulled down my hood. "Uh I didn't know you had two daughters" said the boy who I'm guessing was Fang. "Oh yeah Fang this is Max, Max this is Fang. Also Fang Max and Maya are twins" said my mother causing the boys jaw to drop. I laughed. "Wow is it really that shocking that I have a twin?" asked Maya who was clearly annoyed and that made me laugh hard. "I bet Ari would like it hear" I said. "Who's Ari?" asked the boy; Fang. "My brother" I say like it was nothing and which it wasn't and both Maya and my moms jaws dropped down to the floor. "Wait your father has a child?" My mom asked clearly shocked. "Oh sorry no he works with Ari. Me and him are really good friends and then his dad died so he had no family and Jeb adopted him" I say. "Oh ok" my mom said still shocked. "Um can you show me to my room?" I asked. "Oh yes Maya why don't you show her?" My mom asked and Maya groaned. "Fine now hurry up I have a project to do" she says turning to the stair and walked up them. I followed right behind her. When she reached the top she turned and opened a door on her left. "Ok this is your room now bye" she said exiting the room. I walk into my room and look around. Nothing much plain white walls and then I notice two doors right next to each other. I walk over, open the first door and look in side. It was a closet and a huge one. I close the door then open the next one and inside is a bathroom. My stomach grumbles so I walk out of my room, closing the door behind me and walk down stairs to get some food. "Sweetie" my mom says "I was just about to call you but anyway dinners ready" then she gives me a warm smile. "I hope you don't mind me staying for dinner " Fang say walk into to the kitchen with Maya. "Oh Fang it's fine" she says setting fettuccine Alfredo down on the table. We all sit down and start to eat. "So Max how come your hear a day early?" Maya asked me. "Um I don't know Jeb didn't tell me why he just told me that I had to come a day earlier than planed" I say with a shrug. "Why do you say Jeb not my dad or my father?" Maya asked. "Well do you call him your dad or father and because he's more like my friend than my dad" I say with another shrug. "Max you've grown" my mom says with a smile. "Mom you last saw me at new years which was like a month ago so I really don't think I have" I say annoyed but only Fang notices. Before my mother could reply Fang asks "how long are you staying?". Finally I think and say "um don't know Jeb's trip can be longer or shorter than expected but for how long it's supposed to be is till June" I say with yet another shrug. "You must really like shrugging because you done it multiple times in the past ten minutes" Fang says with a smile smile. "I guess your right I'm just so used to Ari asking useless questions I can answer with shrugs" I say with a shrug. Fang laughs and I join in. When we were done Fang said "ok I've got to go but thanks for having me and it was nice meeting you Max". "Uh yeah you too" I say as he walks out the door. I turn and walk up stairs to my room. I sit down and start to unpack my stuff when Maya walks through the door. "Ever heard of knocking" I say. "Well ever heard of calling" she say. Crap shes got a point I think. "Do you like Fang?" she asks out of nowhere. "Um friend wise why?" I ask wondering why she would ask that. "Well Fangs normally really quiet but not around his friends so I think he likes you" she says with a shrug and I burst out laughing. "What this is not fun" she say getting mad. "Sorry it's just that you shrugged nd oh never mind" I say. "Anyway what are you wearing tomorrow?" she asks. "Um a Peirce The Veil t-shirt, some black skinny jeans, and some black knee high covers. Why?" I ask. "No reason" she says walking out of my room. Eh whatever I think and start to unpack again. After about two hours I stop and head to bed.
