Okay guys, this is one of the many stories I swear to finish. I'm starting over in new story terms. Somehow because my writing keeps getting better and by the end of the story it's a totally different style than what it was at the beginning. So I swear to finish this one... Sorry.

You and your jokes...

I do not own Maximum Ride, the one who took away fang does...

Summary: No wings, Fang's Pov. When the real books start to collide with reality how will Iggy, Max, Fang, and Ella handle high school? How about the strange dreams they've been having? FangXMax, IggyXElla.

The Bus Ride Chapter 1

I am standing in the trees watching a girl. Her brown hair is covering her back. Her face is cut, bleeding. She has no shoes on revealing her bare feet. She is being chased. Is that a werewolf? I look back at her and I see her jump off the cliff. The angry mutants start to grumble and I take off running towards the edge. I see falling, and in a flash a pair of wings unfold from nowhere and catch her. She flies backup and I swear I m seeing an angel.

"Fang! Get up I hear cops!" , Iggy shouts. Iggy my blind best friend. I used to fly solo, until he found me. We met at a party and have been friends for I don t know, 2 years, since we were 13?

"Sorry man, I had that dream again" I say. I sit up on the couch and scan the room scooping up my backpack. It s a dirty dusty old apartment we found. There s a couch in the corner opposite mine, its Iggy s. There s a rug, a tv stand, no tv, and a clock with no batteries. Figure that one out.

"School?" I wipe the black hair out of my eyes. Iggy picks up his backpack as I head to the window and open it. Iggy steps out first, then me, out onto the fire escape. We are only a floor up so we jump off the platform. Iggy is holding his trumpet case, and has his backpack slung over his shoulder.

I m a pianist, but I can sing too. Iggy and I play on the street corners in the winter. It pays for a lot of our stuff.

We walk about a block or two to the bus stop. I see the sign and a few teenagers around it.

The bus driver pulls up opens the door and steps to the door. Iggy? she says. Yes ma am. He says as he steps on to the bus.

She says a few names and kids get on. "Nick?"

I cut her off "It s Fang" and I step on to the bus.

I sit next to Iggy and whisper in his ear Ig, do not fully trust anyone for a while he nods and I put my hands on his arm and start to play my piano, or the one in my head. His hands thrum against his case as he plays the trumpet in his head along with my piano.

The bus screeches to the next stop and interrupts us. A beautiful girl steps onto the bus and I hear the bus driver name her. "Maxium" she cuts her off.

It 's Max she sees me staring and sits in the seat infront of me. My tongue is tied, what do I say? Iggy fingers start to play against my arms and the music takes over my hands thrumming violently at the seat infront of us.

She turns slightly looking at us and I hear the slight taping of two fingers with the music. A girl sits down next to Max. Iggy must have been listening because I hear him whisper Ella. They hear the tour beats and I hear Max add in a drum part. Ella adds in a gutair part hums it.

My piano stops first, then Iggy, then max, and finally Ella." Wow .. " I mutter. Max nods. She reaches over the seat holding out a hand. I shake it.

"I'm Max" she says.

"This is Ella" she motions to Ella.

"I'm nick, but I like to be called Fang. This is Iggy, he's blind. And for once in my life when I told someone Iggy is blind, they weren t shocked."

"What s your schedule?" Max asks me. I pull it out of my pocket and we trade schedules. They are exactly the same. Hmph, I smile a friend on the first day of high school, it's going to be a good year, maybe.
