This is my first fanfic...still getting used to this. I've read tons of fanfic so I wanted to try it out. Tell me how I'm doing!

Chapter 1

I took out my iPod earplugs, smiling as I heard Green Day blasting from a radio. The car was parked across from the lawn where the music came from.

Today I moved away from California, Dad, and my brother. Today I moved to Arizona, into my sister and mom's house. Today, I was leaving behind everyone I had known.

Jeb, my dad, took out my belongings. Ari, my brother, fist-bumped me and said, "T-P the house next door for me, will ya?"

I laughed. Ari hated green day a lot. "I'll miss you, Ari."

Jeb gave me my suitcase and messenger bag, and Ari and him held my heavier boxes.

My guitar was strapped to my side, and my other hand held my iPod.

I took a deep breath, a giddy feeling in me. I knocked on the door. The door flew open, and two pairs of arms wrapped around me. "Ooh, Max!" I returned the bug, laughing and looking down at the younger girl with dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her eyes were shining as she looked up at me."Missed you sooooooo much, Maxie-kins!"she giggled. I huffed, grinning. "Missed you, too, Ells,"I replied.

Ella hugged Ari and Jeb, too. "Ari...promise. to visit, 'kay?"she said.

Ari nodded, smiling. A voice behind them said, "Hiya, Ella and..."

Everyone turned. I saw Iggy, my best friend when I used to come here every summer.

Iggy tackled me, hugging me."God, Max,"he said. This was not the young Iggy I used to know. The small Iggy was short, skinny, shy, and funny. This Iggy...

Iggy was around six feet, probably four inches. His strawberry blond hair was long, shoved out of his intense blue eyes. He was muscular now, probably from the sports he wanted to play when he was small.

His eyes glistened with tears. "Iggy, I'm right here, I won't leave now." He hugged me. When he was young, he was blind from an accident. Everyone bullied him. I helped him cope with everything. Now, his eyesight was back, the last summer I had seen him, five years ago, he had gotten his eyesight back.
"Welcome back, Max."

I hugged my brother and Dad, promising to call and tell them everything. Ari didn't show much emotion, but I knew he loved me in his own quiet way. Dad sternly advised me to tell him about all of my boy problems. And then...they left.

Iggy, Ella, and I hung out in my new room, painting it black and neon green. Roses, hearts (Ella insisted), skulls, wings, and lightning bolts decorated my room. Iggy had splattered neon green paint all over one spot where he was trying to mess up Ella's neon green rose that she was trying to paint over the black wall.

We were just laughing and enjoying ourselves, being us. And I was pretty happy to be around these two people that I cared about so much.

Iggy updated me and how the neighborhood and school was. Ella talked about new editions in Teen Vogue and Vogue and the popular girls at school who really knew nothing about fashion trends.

"I'm inviting your sis, OK, Iggy?" Ella said, texting quickly.

Iggy groaned. "You and Nudge will just talk about your nails!"he complained. He grabbed my wrist and we left.

In the basement, Iggy said, "Let's go to my house. I'll invite Gazzy and Fang." Iggy said. He saw my confused expression. "The siblings. And Angel, too. Since you don't know them." He cracked a grin, a mischievous smile on his face.

I looked at him nervously. I hoped these siblings weren't as bad as Iggy.

"They're worse than me,"he exclaimed proudly.

I groaned. Just when everything was fine, there was just some little something to ruin my life, wasn't there?

OK guys, how did I do? This was short, I know. Tell me if you like the story line so far.

YOU GUYS ROCK,
