CH.1
(Max p.o.v.)
We were on our way to New York now, with much pleading from Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy. We would be staying at a hotel near a high school. How did we pay for it, you ask? Well, let's just say Fang did some quick thinking and snatched Anne's wallet which contained countless credit cards and about $500 in cash. Fang flew up next to me and asked,"What is the hotel's name again?" I tried to remember and when I did, I told him. He nodded and said,"It should be about a mile away now." But, instead of going back to his spot of flying next to Gazzy, he stayed near me. What?...I gave him a questioning look and, in response, he gave me one of his rare grins that seemed to light up the whole world. I grinned back at him. We may not have defeated the school yet, but it felt good to be like this. Free, just flying to get somewhere, not running away from crazy scientists or blood-thirsty erasers. To be all together with my flock. I spotted the hotel up ahead and said to the flock,"Hotel up ahead at 1 o'clock." They nodded, and as we approached it, I looked around for anyone, but the street seemed deserted. Huh, that was wierd. We landed right in front of the hotel, and went inside to check in.
After checking in, we all went up to our rooms. We had decided to get one room for the girls, and one for the boys. They had a door that connected the rooms, though. On the way here, we had gotten some new clothes, but since I didn't want to shop, Nudge and Angel had done my shopping for me. You can probably imagine how that went. My wardrobe now consisted of skinny jeans and tight fitting "fashionable" shirts, and my leather jacket. I still had some normal shirts too, but not so many that I could avoid wearing the other ones. The first time I had worn one of those, Gazzy and Fang had stared at me with their mouthes hanging open, eyes wide."What?" I had asked them, and they just shook their heads, Fang blushing. "Max!MAX!" Nudge said, shaking my shoulder. Guess I was off in my own world again."Can we go take a walk?" She asks. I nodded and walked over to the connecting door, sticking my head into the boys' room."Hey guys, do you want to go take a walk?" I asked them. Gazzy nodded his head excitedly and ran to join Nudge and Angel. The other two decided to stay and do...whatever boys do.
As we walked out of the hotel, I got a wierd feeling in the pit of my stomach. Angel looked at me worriedly and said,"What's wrong, Max?" I shook my head. It was nothing.
We walked for about 15 minutes, the kids looking at everything, ohhhing and ahhhing. And then, predictably, Nudge said,"Max, I'm hungry." The other two nodded in agreement, so we walked into a McDonalds. Angel ordered first, and walked up to the counter,"I'll have a happy meal, two orders of chicken nuggets, a McFlurry, and a coke." She said. The guy at the counter looked at her with wide eyes, but nodded. Gazzy ordered next, then Nudge. Finally it was my turn, and as I approached the counter, the guy looked me up and down."I'll have the same as her please." I said, pointing at Nudge. The guy grinned and nodded.
I was about to turn away after they gave me my food when the guy said,"Hey! Do you want to go out with me sometime?" I turned and rolled my eyes at him. "Get a life, loser." I snapped, and turned on my heel, walking to the table where Gazzy, Angel, and Nudge were sitting. Angel raised an eyebrow at me but I shook my head. Then I realized something. There were only 3 chairs at that table. I looked around for another empty one and spotted one at a corner. There were two guys about a year older than me sitting there. One was dark skinned, and the other was...wow. He had dark hair and the most mesmerizing green eyes I had ever seen. I walked over to him and asked,"Hey, do you mind if I borrow this chair," I said, pointing at the empty chair. The guy with dark hair shook his head, smiling at me. I smiled back, and said,"Thanks." The guy shook his head, as if saying, 'No problem'. The other guy winked at me, and I rolled my eyes. I took the chair over to our table, and this time they all raised their eyebrows at me."What?" I asked.
After we were done eating, I felt great. We headed out. And since today had been perfect so far and my life is the worst, obviously something had to change that. There, in the middle of the street, was the most terrifying monster I had ever seen. It was about 30 ft tall, and it had 7 heads. So, I did the most sensible thing there was to do. I screamed at the top of my lungs.
