Alright, due to my random obsession with writing stories with different plots, I got this for an outcome... I have like five other things typed up that aren't on fanfiction, and five unfinished stories on fanfiction...I'll update the other stories later :)

Max P.O.V.
"I'm going to miss you three so much." Our mother, Valencia Martinez blubbered, as she pulled my brother, sister,and I into tight hugs,as we stood in front of a giant building.
"Mom..can't...breathe.." I struggled to get out.
"Oh, sorry guys," She smiled apologetically. "It's just, what am I going to do without my children with me?" She asked while stoking our heads.
"You'll be fine mom. Plus, you're going to be in Italy with Jeb." I told her trying to comfort her.
She smiled a regretting smile. I could tell she was having second thoughts about agreeing to live in Italy with our father for a year, while we were going to boarding school here in the states.
"It'll be lot's of fun mom." Ella, my 14 year old sister piped up, as she struggled to hold her luggage.
"Promise me you guys will call me at least once a week?" she pleaded.
"We promise." All three of us replied in unison.
"Now Ari," she gave my 13 year old brother a knowing glare. "Do what the teachers tell you, and listen to your sisters alright?"
"Okay mom." he replied being squished into a hug by our mother.
She then turned to give my sister and I one last , she pulled away to look at us one final time.
"I love you guys!" she called as she turned to walk towards her car.
We waved goodbye to our mother, all sad that we wouldn't see her for about year. As soon as her car left the parking lot, I spoke up.
"Well, what do we do now?" I stood there dumb founded.
"Let's go find our rooms!" My overly perky sister responded as she walked into the dreary- gray building behind us.
As I walked behind her, with Ari trailing after us, I couldn't help but think that she was an exact replica of our mother. As she walked, her red-brown curls bounced in random directions, just like how our mothers always do. Like our mothers, her eyes resembled a tree trunk after it has been rained on. Her skin tone was the same tan as our mothers.
Her personality was like our mothers too. She had such a huge heart, that forgave. She cared for all living things, and wanted to be a veterinarian when she got older,which is the job our mother has. But, she also had her own qualities in her too. She may be forgiving, but she was stubborn. She was independent, and girly. But, she was extremely shy. I personally think her name suited her.
I looked at my brother, and noticed he was a photo copy of our father. He had the same sandy brown hair that was often disheveled just like our father, and shared the same ocean-blue eyes. He even had the same, pale skin tone. You could easily see the similarities whenever Ari would think something over, because it was the same look Jeb would have.
Once, they were standing next to each other, and Ella had asked them a question causing them to display the thinking looks. It caused all three of us girls to laugh so hard, and the two guys had no idea why were laughing.
Just like our father, Ari wants to be a scientist when he got older. Ari was actually quite intelligent for his age, and had the mental capabilities of a 40 year old man. But, because of how smart he was, the kids in his class would make fun of him. He would often come home bruised and cut up because of the jerks in his class. That's another reason why we're here.
Me, on the other hand. I wasn't a replica of either of my parents, I was just in between. My hair was a wavy light brown, with streaks of gold and red that went through it. My eyes, were brown, but not the same shade as my sister or mother. They were lighter, the same shade as milk chocolate. My complexion wasn't so tan,and it wasn't to pale.
My personality, was...me. I was so stubborn, that if someone asked me to do something I didn't want to do, I would do the opposite just to bug them. I wasn't as forgiving as my mother or sister either. Well, I guess it depended on what it was, but if it was something huge ,you would probably lose my trust. And, my trust is hard to even gain in the first place.
I didn't take any crap from people, and I wasn't shy at all. I wasn't afraid to hurt other people's feelings either. But, I'm not cold hearted. I care for my loved ones, and if you threatened them, then you would expect to see me in your near future.
I was also a tom boy. Max, suited me just fine.
"Well,this is my room." Ella stated as she turned the knob to the door labeled 104.
The door swung open to reveal a queen sized bed on one side of the room, and a bunk bed on the other side. There was a walk in closet to the side, probably for all the people in the room to share. There was a small plasma screen T.V. sitting on a table, that if you looked below it, you could see a mini-fridge. Next to the queen sized bed, was a computer with a screen that could be mistaken as a miniature T.V. On the floor were two bean bags,that were separated by a small table. One bean bag was grass green, another was blood red. The room was painted a light pink.
All three us stared at the room in shock "Wow.." we all breathed out stunned.
"I know right!" A girl with mocha skin, same colored eyes, and beautiful curly dark chocolate hair said emerging from the closet.
All three of us just blinked at her.
"Oh, sorry. I'm Monique, but people call me Nicky. I really don't like my name at all, it sounds to plain. I wish my name was something like Tiffany, or Krystal. No. I wish it were Tiffany-Krystal. What are you're guy's names? I'm guessing one of you is Ellla who's staying here too!" She babbled all of that in one breath.
My siblings and I just stared at her, shocked.
"Nicky, I think you just put them in shock." a young girl,with blonde ringlets, and wide crystal-blue eyes laughed as she walked passed us into the room.
She then turned to us and smiled.
"Yeah. Everyone has the same reaction when they first meet her. My names Angel, what are you're guy's names?" she asked sweetly, as she put her hands out to shake ours.
I was the first to come out of my trance. "I'm Max," I said pointing to my self "Ella" I pointed to my right we're Ella stood now grinning. "Ari" I pointed to my left to where my brother was practically drooling over Angel. I had to nudge him to stop staring at her.
"Hi!" Ella greeted as she set her luggage down. At the same time Ella said hi, Ari blurted out to Angel "You're pretty."
"Uh, thanks." Angel commented as she stuffed her hands in her back pocket, pink now decorated her cheeks.
Ari realized what he said, and turned pinker than a piglet.
"Oh, uhm Max, can you, uhm, help me find my room?" He stuttered
"Yeah,sure."I commented knowing he was just trying to split.
"Thanks." He said giving me a small smile
"Well, I'll see you guys later. Bye nice meeting you. See you later Ells" I told them as I walked with Ari to another building.
There were a lot of people outside now. Every body was trying to move into their dorm rooms. It was probably a lot more hectic this year, than last, considering that for the first fifty years, this school was a boarding school for eight graders only. But, the school board or whoever decided that this school should become a school for kids ages 13-17, and they had enough room for all of us too!
"So,you have a crush on Angel huh?" I asked Ari as soon as we were outside the girls building.
"Do not." He denyed as he looked down at his shoes.
"Awww...my baby Ari is all grown up!" I joked as I pulled him into a hug.
"You're only two years older than me!" He whined "And, don't embarrass me on my first day of school, I got to look cool." He protested and pulled away from me.
"Aww, but you'll always be my Ari Bear." I joked trying to embarrass him, it was my job as his sister.
"Max." he whined, my tactics obviously working.
"Ari." I replied in the same tone.
We finally reached the building where the boys dorms were. It was painted the same, hideous shade of gray as the girls, but the only difference was the sign outside said 'boys ' instead of 'girls'.
Ari's dorm room was dorm number 201, which meant it was upstairs, so we had to take two flights of stairs to get there. When we finally arrived there, he took a deep breath and opened the door. The room was just as huge as Ella's. They were basically the same, except for the fact that the room walls were a dark blue, and the bean bags were a navy blue color and jet-black.
In the room was a guy with strawberry blonde hair, and his eyes were the same colors as Angel's. They looked similar actually. I wouldn't be surprised if they were siblings.
"Oh hey, you must be one of my roommates Ari, I'm Iggy." he said glancing up at us from his unpacking. Then he grinned at me "Well, hello who might you be?" he asked obviously teasing me.
"Max." I stated bluntly
"Max, that's an uncommon girls name." He said as he continued unpacking.
"Short for Maximum, my middle name." I told him watching Ari set his stuff down.
"What's your first name?" He asked, he looked up at me raising his blonde colored eye brows.
"Not gonna tell you." I told him, smiling.
"Ahh, I like you. Your not like other girls." He replied with a smile.
"Your not that bad either." I offered. He really didn't seem like a bad guy.
"So, do you know who our other room mate is?" Ari questioned, speaking for the first time since he walked into his room.
"Oh yeah. He was here for a few minutes, then left to go talk to some girl or something. His name's Nick." He said disinterestedly while he placed what looked like wires on the bed side table.
When he said the name Nick I flinched. The reason, my annoying neighbor my age, but he moved a year or so ago. But, it's a one in a million chance that he's here too.
The Nick that was neighbor always bickered with me. We just couldn't seem to get along, but our mom's were friends, so we saw each other too many times a week. He and his parents moved a few states away, and I never heard from him again. But, our mothers still talked on the phone.
"Hey Ari, you all set?" I inquired.
"Yeah, I'm good thanks Max." he announced.
"No problem, I'm going to head of to my room now. If you need anything, just go to Ella's room or mine, My room number is.." I looked down at the piece of paper in my hand "214" I explained.
"Bye." He replied as he put his clothes away.
"See you later little brother." and since I couldn't help my self, I decided to add in "Love you Ari Bear!"
As I walked down the hall, I heard laughter booming in his room, and Ari yelling "Max!"
I quickly traveled down the stairs to the entrance, my luggage was starting to feel heavy.I probably should have put the majority of my things in a rolling luggage insted. The guys in the building were giving me looks, and some even wolf whistled. Sexist pigs.
I quickly walked towards the girls dormitory ignoring guys staring at me. When I reached the girls building there was a guy outside the door. He was dressed in all black had dark black hair, that almost looked purple in the sun, and onyx colored eyes. He was tall at about 6 feet, maybe more.
As I approached, the guy smirked at me. I just glared back, and walked passed him.
"I see you haven't changed one bit Lillian." the guy said in a deep voice.
I stopped in my tracks and turned around to face the guy with onyx eyes. There was only one person in my whole life who called me by my first name.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" I yelled slapping my forehead with the hand that wasn't holding anything.
Yeah, remember how I mentioned that one in a million chance earlier? Well, there was that one in a million, standing before me in all his irritating glory.
"What? Not happy to see me?" He joked while standing there grinning at me.
"Not really." I muttered
He just grinned wider at me, but his eyes looked hurt. Great, now I feel bad.
"Sorry.." I mumbled looking at my feet feeling guilty.
"What was that?" He taunted while cuping his ear in an 'I can't hear you' gesture.
"You know what, I don't have time for this." I answered as I turned on my heel and walked up the stairs. He ended up following me anyway.
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked aggravated that he was following me.
"My parents are going to Italy with your parents." He stated nonchalantly.
I stopped walking as soon as I found room 214. "Of course they didn't tell me." I mumbled, as I opened the room door.
The room I was staying in looked the same as Ella's and Ari's except for the fact that the room walls were a lavender color. The bean bag's were a different color too. One bean bag was a sky-blue color, while the other was a canary yellow.
I dropped my bags down on the closest bed, which happened to be the queen sized bed. By the looks of things, I was the first of my room mates to get in here.
I looked over at the door and noticed Nicholas was still there.
"What do you want?" I demanded while crossing my arms over my chest.
"What, I can't say hi to an old friend?" he mused leaning against the door frame.
Right when I was about to come back with a witty remark, a girl around my age with dark brown hair, and icy blue eyes walked in.
"Oh, hi! I'm J.J." she greeted kindly. She put her right hand in front of her to shake my hand , but she ended up dropping her bags on the floor.
"Oops, my bad." she blushed as she bent down to pick up her stuff.
Nick, and I immediately rushed to help her pick up her bags.
"Thanks." she commented as we set her bags down over near the bunk bed.
"I'm Max." I told her. She seemed like a nice girl. But, I knew sooner or later, I would meet people who weren't so nice.
Before she could say anything, Nick interrupted.
"Really Lillian, you're going by Max?" He scoffed arching his eye brows at me.
"Yes, you got a problem with it?" I asked menacingly, as I put my hands on my hips.
While Nick and I stared each other down, J.J. stared back and forth between us.
"Uh, do you guys no each other or something?" She questioned.
"Unfortunately yes." I grumbled, as I went back to putting my things away.
He just stared at me, and gave me an annoying smirk in response.
"What's you're name?" J.J. questioned as she set her things down on the bottom bunk.
He tore his gaze away from me and looked over at J.J. to respond her question
"Fang." he stated.
I couldn't help it, I started laughing. I mean Fang? What type of name is that?
"Is there something funny about my name?" He looked over at me.
"What type of dim whit came up with that?" I manage to get out between my laughter.
He looked at me, his eyes portraying amusement.
"Actually, you did that one Halloween when were were seven. I was dressed as a vampire, and you called me Fang." He laughed. I mean actually laughed! The last time I remember, he was an emotionless brick wall.
I scowled at him. But, I couldn't help but smile on the inside that he remembered that. I forgot that we were friends at one point of time until now actually.
"Well,I should go." He announced suddenly.
"Bye." I replied going back to unpacking.
"Nice meeting you J.J., see you around Lillian." I knew he called me Lillian just to annoy me.
"Same to you Nicholas." I called him by his first name just to bother him.
He grinned then left.
"I smell love in the air!" J.J. sang as soon as we could no longer see him.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" I stuttered shocked at what she said.
"Oh please, don't deny it." She had a full blown smile on her face,while wiggling her eye brows.
"I can't deny it, if there is nothing going on." I remarked.
We were both silent for a few moments, then she turned around and spoke once more.
"Well... I'm hungry let's go get some sushi." She exclaimed randomly.
"Food!" I yelled as I ran out of our room, J.J. was laughing as she rushed to reach my pace.
Well, what do you think
