Chemicals React
If they only knew… if they only knew that I could play the guitar or sing. I want them to know, my flock and family, I really do but I feel that if anyone knew that I could I would be treated like a normal… girl. Of coarse a girl with wings, a voice in her head, and the ability to kick eraser butt. Besides that they would treat me completely according to the pop star stereo type, that would suck, I'm Maximum Ride for crying out loud! But seeing as everyone is out doing other stuff I might as well try my luck at a song.
I picked up my guitar and prepared a song that I had heard on the radio and according to me it about Fang. Here goes nothing
You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walking on broken glass
Like my worlds spinnin' in slow-motion
And you're movin' too fast…
Where you right
Was I wrong
Where you weak
Was I strong Yeah—
Both of us broken
Caught in the moment
We lived
And we loved
And we hurt
And we jumped Yeah—
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that the chemicals react
The chemicals react
You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tides pullin' me in deeper
Makin' it harder to breath…
We cannot deny
How we feel inside
We can not deny—
Where you right
Was I wrong
Where you weak
Was I strong yeah—
Both of us broken
Caught in the moment
We lived
And we loved
And we hurt
And we jumped yeah—
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react
Kaleidoscope of colors
Turnin' hopes on fire
Sun is shinin' down on both of us—
Don't let us lose it
Don't let us lose it…
Where you right
Was I wrong
Where you weak
Was I strong Yeah—
Both of us broken
Caught in the moment
We lived
And we loved
And we hurt
And we jumped Yeah—
We lived
We loved
We hurt
We jumped
We're right
We're wrong
We're weak
We're strong
We—lived
To love…
B the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
Watch the chemicals react
And just like that
The chemicals react
Chemicals react…
"If you only knew, Fang" I whispered, putting down my guitar. Suddenly I heard clapping from behind me, I whirled. My mouth was in an 'O' shape as I turned to see none other than Fang "shit."
Fang's POV
I had been done doing my shopping a few hours before everyone else, it's not hard when you shop in all black, so I decided to come home and relax. Maybe even annoy Max, my favorite sport! So instead of coming in the front door like always I just kinda flew through the window of my room. I was about to go down and annoy Max when I heard singing and an electric guitar.
I thought at first that it was an intruder because I had never heard such a beautiful voice or the mimicry of the guitar. Then I began to listen to the song and it did sound like Max
Like the tides pullin' me in deeper

Before I knew it I had walked down the stairs throughout the song and I was now standing silently in the frame of the door, looking at Max's hips sway as she sang. Also seeing her dainty hands fly over the strings, I couldn't help but think that beautiful hands like that should not be used in battle. One thing I was not expecting was what she said after she finished the song
"If you only knew, Fang" she whispered. At that point I was awestruck but put on my regular making-fun-of-Max-yet-still-loving-her-secretly smirk and started to clap. I watched her back stiffen as she turned on her heals, her mouth in an 'O' and she swore under her breath.
I was immediately curious "I didn't know that you could sing or play the guitar." I smirked as her cheeks burnt red. "Well um, yeah…" she began but her voice faded as I stepped closer. "Did you mean what you said?" I asked, trying to make eye contact. She blushed harder. "yes" she said quietly.
"Well then" I sighed in relief. I closed the space between us, leaning into her tomato-red face. Her lips where parted slightly and her eyes looked confused. At that point our noses could almost touch. I searched her eyes, still confused, for some other emotion.
Suddenly, and very unexpectedly her eyes became all-knowing and a smirk appeared on her lips. And again she surprised me by rocking back on her heels then leaning up and pressing her lips to mine.
The kiss lasted for a half of a second I'm sure, she broke it, giggling and running up stairs. Leaving me awestruck with silence.
I'm not JP or Aly and A.J. so don't come to my house and ask for my autograph because if you find me I'll call you a stalker and send my dad, who just happens to be a major police chief in London, after you GOT THAT!
You: yes you are crystal clear
Me: Okay then, we're done here
