A/N Guys I'm back! Well my birthday was Wednesday and I only have two more academic days before I graduate and become a freshman so I have absolutely nothing to do so I decided that I was going to update. Many of you may be familiar to this chapter but I took the story down. Please comment once again so I know that I have supporters and that my previous ones are still with me. Thank you so much for always being there and being patient with my long absence.
Max's POV
"MAXIMUM RIDE MARTINEZ GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF BED BEFORE YOU ARE LATE FOR CLASS!"
I groaned, rolled onto my stomach, and stuffed my head under my pillow. I really don't want to get up for dance class, yeah you heard me right. I, Maximum Ride, go to a Performing Arts school and is majoring in dance. Ever since my mother, Val Martinez, put me in my first dance class I couldn't get enough of it. When I dance its like I'm in a completely different universe. No judgement, no hate, just me and my dancing.
I tried to go back to sleep when I was engulfed in ice cold water. I shot up out of bed to see who committed the very dangerous crime against me. I growled, yeah growled, when I saw the source of the water. Iggy.
"You are going to pay for this Iggy!" I screeched before running at him. His expression went from humorous to horrified in a flash. He dropped the now empty bucket on the floor and made a run for it, but before he could get far I tackled him. I easily pinned him to the ground, face against the hard wood floor.
"Come on Max, stop. Mom told me to since you weren't getting up," Iggy pleaded underneath me. I just cackled like a maniac. In the middle of my cackling I was pushed off of him by a huge force. When I looked for the huge force I saw it was my other brother, Ari. You try living with mentally insane older brothers that are like them. They certainly are good at making my life 10x more complicated then it really should be.
I glared at the two of them and got off the ground. "You two will definitely pay for this later." I walked back two my room and got ready for today. I walked into my bathroom, quickly showered, put my dance clothes on, and then did my hair. After finishing, I grab my dance bag and book bag and walked down our steps. I find Ari sitting at eh kitchen counter eating cereal and Iggy sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor. Yeah he was dropped a couple of times as a child.
-time skip to in Max's car before school-
"You have to get out Max," Ari told me. I gave him a 'no way in heck' look closing my eyes and turning up my music louder. Ari sighed and gave Iggy a look. I let out a huff and crossed my arms over my chest. Ari and Iggy both left the car. Thank God they are finally gone. I close my eyes and focus on the music that is blaring through my headphones, when I am interrupted, rather rudely I might add, by two pairs of arms grabbing me, one pair grabbing my arms and the second pair grabbing my now kicking legs.
"This is not funny guys, PUT ME DOWN!" I demanded/yelled. They just laughed and started walking towards me class, which just happened to be on the other side of campus, meaning we will pass everyone in the school before they put me down. Great, just great.
Of course, me being me, I never stopped fighting back. I am pretty strong for someone my age, but they were stronger. That doesn't mean I didn't get any good shots in. Lets just say Iggy will have a bruise on his stomach roughly the size of my foot tomorrow and Ari might have a black eye from my flailing arms. Ha revenge really is good.
When we finally get to the studios they set me down. I glare at them and then stalk off to class. As I walk through the halls everyone gets a lot quieter, no doubt because they saw me this morning. I find my two best friends, Nudge and JJ, talking outside of one of the many studios.
"Hey guys what's up?" I ask.
"Have a nice 'walk' over hear Max?" JJ asked trying to contain her laughter. I rolled my eyes and walked away. "Hey Max come back!" I stopped and waited for her and Nudge to catch up.
"Did you guys here about the new accompanist we are getting next week? I loved our old accompanist but we really needed a new one. She was old, so old that she would fall asleep at the piano. Don't you think its hard to fall asleep at a piano, I do. It doesn't even look comfortable. You know what is comfortable, those memory foam mattresses. ZOMG! They are sooooooooo comfy. Its so cool when you sit up and there is an imprint of your upper body actually ON the mattress. Its really we-" Nudge was cut-off by my hand. "Really Nudge? How do you go from new accompanist to mattresses?" She just shrugged her shoulders.
"Come on guys, we have to go in," JJ said. We walked into the classroom and set down our bags. We took off our clothes, don't worry we wear clothes over our leotards and tights, minds out of the gutters people!, and stood at the bar. We started doing our various warm ups until our teacher walked in.
For the next hour and a half I can forget about the rest of the world and just dance my heart out.
-after last class-
"Hey Max we're spending the night at your house right?" JJ asked as I was packing up my books.
"Yeah, can you go get Nudge and meet me at my car?" I asked. JJ nodded before running out of the room with a look of determination on her face. I laughed and rolled my eyes. I stopped by my locker on my way out and grabbed my hoodie. I pulled the hood over my head and made my way over to my car. If you guys are curious, then yes the little stunt my two idiotic brothers pulled this morning is now the one and only thing people were talking about today. They are so gonna get it.
I turned a corner and ran into a brick wall. 'What the heck? Since when was there a brick wall here?' I looked up and saw a guy around my age looking down at me. He offered me a hand, but I pushed it aside. I stood up, brushed off invisible dirt, and turned to the direction I was originally going in. Before I was far enough away a swear I heard him mutter "I'm sorry"
When I reached my car I saw JJ and Nudge leaning against it.
"Hey hey hey get off my baby!" I said while swatting them away. Yes I did just call my car my baby. Don't judge. Nudge climbed into the back and JJ got into the passenger seat. JJ got ahold of my Ipod and put on Rain Over Me by Pitbull ft. Marc Anothony. I made a playlist of the songs we have learned dances/combinations to or are currently learning and we had just learned an insanely hard combo to this song. I smiled when I remember our first try. Good times, good times. (if you want to imagine it, then imagine around 10 girls and 10 guys in a hip hop class running into each other and looking all confused in your head. Well its funny in my head)
I let down the roof to my blue convertible and drove off. JJ turned the song up to full blast so now anyone we passed looked at us. I don't think it was the blasting music. JJ, Nudge, and I were the top dancers in the school so therefor we were the most popular, well at least most known around school. Right now, we looked like those girls in those movies with the music blasting and wind blowing their hair back. However we aren't spoiled little rich girls that get everything that they want. Nope we have to work for everything that we want.
I sat back in my chair and listened to Nudge and JJ sing/yell the lyrics. They can be the craziest friends I've ever had but I still love them. When we turned onto my very, very long street I sped up. No one rarely ever drives on our street so I was fine. I turned into our driveway and parked my car in the now open garage. I turned the engine off and got out. I got JJ's, Nudge's, and my stuff out of the trunk and made my way to the front door. See my house is one of those huge houses, but its not big enough to be a mansion just a big house. Our garage isn't attached to our house which explains the walk.
I dropped the bags on the ground and dug for my house key in my backpack. When my fingers wrap around something cool and small I pull it out. I put the key into the keyhole and unlock the door. I pick up the bags and enter the house. I take one sniff and make a dart to the kitchen. On the counter I find a plate piled with my mom's homemade chocolate chip cookies. My mouth waters and I shove two cookies into my mouth. I sigh in delight and swallow now mushed up cookies. JJ and Nudge enter through the kitchen door and sit at the kitchen counter across from me. They each take one cookie each and laugh at my horrified expression.
"How the heck can you guys ONLY take ONE cookie?" I say. I shake my head at them and leave the kitchen, but not without taking some more cookies.
Tonight was going to be very interesting.
