I disclaim. I don't own Maximum Ride. Maximum Ride owns Fang though…

Max POV

Oregon. Bloody Oregon. That is where we are moving. Rainy, cold, dark. My mother and sister just had to be here. My mom got a job transfer and it had to be here.

I'm Maximum Ride. Everyone calls me Max. My mom, my sister, Ella and I used to live in sunny Florida. I am sixteen and my sister is nearly fifteen. My mom is a vet.

I start my new high school with my sister tomorrow. I will be a junior and my sister will be a sophomore. Our school mascot is a Gopher. That is really weird.

We only got here today and we are still unpacking. I, being the oldest, got the larger room. It is light purple and black. My bed has a veil around it like a princess'. I am certainly not a princess. I have a desk, my beloved laptop and a chest of drawers. I unpacked quickly. I really don't have much. I don't really need much. I have a full walk-in closet and it is only half full. Ella has one too. I bet she has it already completely full.

LINE BREAK!

The next Morning

Max POV

I got up and dressed fast after Ella and my alarm clock (they are a lot alike) woke me up. I reluctantly left my warm bed to get ready. I wore a pair of black skinny jeans and a v-neck sweater. Then I ran downstairs and some breakfast with me sister. Soon after, the bus arrived and Ella and I were off to our new school.

10 MINUTES LATER

About ten minutes later, we arrived at the school. Ella and I went to the main office to collect our schedules. As we walked into the school, all eyes turned to us. Especially the guys. Some random boy with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes walked up to us and took Ella's phone from her hand (she had been texting), typed something, and then gave it back with a seductive smile and a wink. Ella looked at her phone and let out a quiet squeal.

"That guy just put his number in my phone!" She told me excitedly." His name is Iggy Griffiths." Weird name.

"That was border line stalker, Ella." Ella scowled at me. "Well, it was weird. And the name…." I trailed off, rolling my eyes.

"I think it's sweet." She said dreamily. "So shut it." Not so dreamy. Classic Ella.

We entered the main office to wait in a short line behind a blonde boy around my age. Ella was still entranced by her phone's new contents. She is such a girly-girl.

The guy in front of us turned around and was obviously surprised. He looked me up and down with a creepy grin. Sexist pig. I was very tempted to slap him, but I guess that wouldn't have been a good idea on the first day.

"I'm Dylan. Who are you?" He said still grinning. He held out a hand for me to shake.

"Max. And this is Ella." I said giving him a bored look. I ignored his out-stretched hand. That grin is really freaking me out. And, naturally, Ella was still looking at her phone, oblivious to everything going on around her.

"You're new huh? Well I could-" he started to say. Attempting to sound seductive and failing miserably. Then the secretary behind him cut in, saving my life.

"Flirt later, Dylan." She told him. I did everything I could not to fall over laughing. H turned bright red. "Now, girls, what do you two need?" she asked as that Dylan guy stalked out.

"We are here to pick up our schedules. Max Ride-Martinez and Ella Martinez please." I told her. She got up and told us to wait a moment. She went over to a filing cabinet and looked through it. When she came back, she was holding two sheets of paper. She gave one to each of us.

"These are your schedules. Do I need to ask someone to show you two around today?" the secretary asked.

Just as I was about to say no, Ella said yes. Actually she said "Could you ask Iggy Griffiths to show me around?" That damn boy! That is he boy who implanted his number into my sister's phone! I sense he will be a huge issue this year…

The secretary nodded. She got on the speaker and asked for that boy and another called Fang Jones. What is with these names? Moments later that Iggy kid came in. He looked both surprised and happy to se Ella again, seeing at it had only been about two minutes. He looked especially pleased when the secretary told him to show Ella around.

Iggy came over and took Ella's schedule in one hand and took her hand in his other. Ella blushed a new shade of red and giggled really girly. Iggy smirked and walked out with her. "Bye Max! See you later!" Ella shouted as Iggy pulled her out the door. I swear I will kill that boy if he does ANYTHING to Ella. Wish I had said that but no, I said, " Bye. Don't get killed!" Little inside joke.

I sighed and turned back to the secretary. "Thanks for your help. I'll go to class now." I said as I started walking out the door.

"Not so fast, young lady. You have no idea where to go. Nick here will help you get around the school." She said, pointing to the emo kid that Iggy came in with. I looked him up and down skeptically. He had longish black hair, olive skin, all black clothes ensemble and he looked to be about 6'3, rivaling my 5'9. I have never felt short before meeting Iggy, Nick and that creepy Dylan kid. Now I feel like a midget. (A/N: I am really short. Not even 5 foot)

The Nick guy just kept looking down. But when the secretary said 'Nick' his head shot up, revealing startlingly black eyes. Like obsidian. "My name is Fang." He stated plainly. Not much of a talker it seems. He looked at me and smirked. Evidently, not one for smiling either.

Fang walked over to me and took my schedule. He surveyed it as if it were a deep complex code. Then finally said "We have all our classes together." Fantastic. I love sarcasm.

I groaned and started walking to the left when Mr. Tall, Dark and Silent (You thought I would say handsome. Funny) said "Wrong way." I could tell he was smirking.

I groaned again, trying not to turn and rip his head off and show my frustration. I slowly turned and started walking in the other direction. I swear I heard a low chuckle come from Fang.

As we walked to our next class, a high-pitched squeal (of delight maybe? It didn't delight me that's for sure) pierced the hallway. It was deafening. Suddenly, a red-headed slutty looking girl came racing down the hall, wearing little clothing. Ewww.

"Fangy-Poo! I am so happy to see you!" she trilled. If she doesn't stop emitting noises like that from that lipstick covered thing she calls a mouth I might shoot her. Then me.

"Hi Lissa" Fang said, sounding kind of annoyed. He was rubbing his forehead. I wanted to laugh. I'll wait though, till the end of this little show.

That's when Lissa spotted me.

"Fangy! Are you cheating on me?! Who is this slut?!" she shrieked, pointing at me with one badly manicured finger. I'm a slut? I'm guessing she is Fang's girlfriend. I almost feel bad for him. Almost.

I decided it was the 'sluts' turn to talk. "Ok, you whore, if I am a slut, you must be a desperate prostitute. Have you looked in the mirror lately? Try a turtleneck?" I said while pulling the collar of my shirt.

I looked to Fang and he looked shell-shocked. Lissa shrieked again and ran to her slutty posse. I heard her ask "What did she say?" Wow. She is stupid! I guess Fang heard too.

"I thought red-heads were supposed to be smart. She is a disgrace to red-heads everywhere. Does she have a brain?" I asked him.

"She is a disgrace to me." Fang said almost inaudibly.

"Then, and I'm guessing here, why are you dating her? Oh! Wait! I get it! You're with her because she is easy. Not one for a challenge, I take it?" I teased. He looked kind of pissed.

Before he could say anything, I cut in again. "Why don't you break up with her if you don't like her? Not that I care. Actually, it's kind of funny to watch…" I trailed off. The halls were completely deserted now. The bell rang two minutes ago. Fang looked very pissed now.

Suddenly, he came at me. I was startled and I tried to walk backward. I was stopped by the faded blue lockers. Fang placed his hands on the lockers on either side of me. As quickly as he'd done it, his anger evaporated into his impassive mask. "I'm sorry. Whenever people talk about me and Lissa like that, it pisses me off, I hate Lissa."

"I'm sorry too. I guess I went a tad far. But I was serious. Why are you dating her if you hate her so much?" I asked, still against the lockers. Fang looked me in the eyes and gave a simple answer.

"I don't know"
