Chapter 1
Pairings, in case you were wondering: Fang/June, Winter/Iggy, Max/Dylan - later on. This pretty much revolves around June and Winter so if you don't like Mylan please don't not read this story. I'm a hardcore Fax shipper myself so..
Anyway, my friend and I began writing this up to a certain point and past that point I will continue writing this my self. Oh, also, technically I'm June (this is not my real name) and my friend is Winter. Thanks for clicking on this random story, btw. Happy Reading!
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN JAMES PATTERSON'S MAXIMUM RIDE SERIES
Cool name, huh? I named myself :)

Juniper POV:
I surge in front of Winter, I'd always been the faster flier.
"June! Wait up!" Winter shouts from behind me, her southern accent showing.
I stop flying and just stay put, waiting for Winter. We can't hover so I go up and then drop with each stroke of my wings, which fade from dark brown to white.
So here's the basic jist, we fly. Basically, we grew up in a lab (which we call the School) as science experiments aanndd badda bing badda boom now we're 98% human and 2% bird. How? I don't really know. Nor do I really care. Another thing, we're both approximately 15 years old. Winter flies up next to me, her hair in her face.
"Hair is being difficult" she complains, pushing her hair out of her face.
"What's new?" I ask, sarcastically.
We fly a little longer, Winter lingering behind, until I see large flying objects in the distance. I abruptly stop.
"Winter, we might need to kill something" I say back to her.
She perks up, "Yay!"
Winter happily claps her hands. I begin slowly, slow for me is average for anyone else, flying to the flying things. I get close enough to see what they are. They look like…me. They're human children with wings.
"I had no idea…" I mutter.
The six bodies in front of me turn around.
"Hey! Who goes there!?" the oldest girl gets into a battle position, the rest of them following.
I fly a little closer to them and they drop their positions and look at me with shocked expressions.
I hold my hands level in front of me, "Please, I mean no harm"
I finish saying that just as Winter comes up behind me screaming, "Kill something!"
I turn and put my hands on her elbows, "Chill. They're like us."
She looks over my shoulder and smiles, "Oh okay"
Winter POV:
In case you haven't noticed, I like killing things. People like us? I have never seen any of them until now.
"I'm Juniper and this is dwa ba da ka doo ma…" said June.
Only I can call her June.
"I'm Winter" I finish for her.
June was acting weird. That is my thing. I look at her to see where she was looking. She had seen a dark boy (literally. Dark hair, dark clothes, everything is dark except for his pale skin), about our age, and her type. I look at the rest of them, stopping my eyes on the tallest one. He has strawberry blonde hair, pale skin, and pale blue eyes. Dang, he was cute! He looked like he was nice enough. But then again, so do I. We all know that I'm a really bad influence.
The smallest one, a little girl with blue eyes and blonde curls, introduces herself, "Hi, I'm Angel. You think Iggy is cute" she has a sweet smile on her face as she points to the blonde. "And you think Fang is cute" she said, pointing to the dark boy and looking at Juniper.
How did that little girl know all of that? Well, the cat is out of the bag. Still, I should get to know this Iggy guy. He seems really cool. And cute. Yes, I will admit that that I said/thought that. Who didn't?
Juniper POV:
Fang, huh? Man, is he attractive. I just got majorly turned on. What am I thinking!? I really need to be around guys more.
"I am sorry about that. I was having malfunctions with my programming?" I laugh, nervously.
They all shrug it off while Winter is behind me, snickering. More like dying of laughter. I punch her arm.
"Okay, okay! I get it!" she holds her arm, still laughing.
"You're gonna get it later" I threaten and turn back to the new Avian-Americans (another term for us besides, mutant bird freaks).
"You should know this is us normally" I laugh.
"You guys are entertaining" the oldest girl laughs "I'm Max. Maximum Ride."
"I'm Nudge! I LOVE your guys' hair!" an African-American girl squeals.
"Thanks!" Winter and I say in unison.
We both have long, curly hair. Mine is down to my lower back and is more of loose curls, almost wavy. Winter's is extremely curly and is down to her butt. My hair is a chestnut brown and Winter's is dark brown, almost black.
"I'm Gazzy! Angel's biological brother!" a little blonde boy pulls the little girl with blonde curls by the arm into a hug.
"Angel already introduced herself and the blind dweeb over there," Max gestures to Iggy "and Mr. GrumpyPants" she gestures to Fang.
Winter and I break out laughing at what she called Fang. Fang is glaring at Max. His black eyes meet my bright green eyes. I quickly look away. Angel is whispering something to Max and Max nods.
"Well Angel, has brought up the idea that maybe you two should join our flock. I'm cool with this. Everyone else?" Max asks.
She must be the leader. Everyone nods and I hear a chorus of "sure"s, "cool"s and a "Yay!" from Nudge.
"We'll direct you two to the house, c'mon" Max begins flying in the opposite direction.
We follow her and a house on a very tall, steep hill comes into view.
"To get into the house you have to fly up to the porch. Perfect for us, right?" Max goes to land on the porch.
The rest of the flock lands after her and Winter and I follow after them. The house is cool. The living room has a TV with a game console and controllers. There looks to be bedrooms down the hall. The kitchen is after that, no food in sight. Darn it. There looks to be a balcony right off of the kitchen too.
"Angel, give them each a room" Max tells Angel.
Angel is adorable, did I mention that?
"Each? But there are two of them and only one extra room. The one you're thinking of is Total's" Angel says, sweetly.
"Total will sleep in your room. Go." Max points down the hall.
"B-But…" Angel stutters.
"Angel. NOW." Max says, sternly.
"Okay Max" Angel skips down the hall.
Winter and I follow after her.
"This is yours, Juniper" Angel opens the door to a room.
"This one is Winter's" Angel opens the door to the room next to mine.
"Total, come. We're sharing a room now" Angel walks into Winter's room and picks up a black Scottie off of the bed.
"Make yourselves' at home" she smiles as she walks back down the hall.
