Hey, Softballblazer here! You might read A Break before this. It tells you about a lot of the characters like Blaze and her brothers. BTW, I do not own Maximum Ride. I'm just having fun.
Max POV
Flashback
"Good riddance, you two." Iggy said icily.
I couldn't believe it, my family was abandoning me and Nudge. Who in their right mind, would think we were ratting them out to Itex. You know what, we're going to be just fine with just each other. We both looked at each other, and then at the flock. We both took off to the sky.
End Flashback
Yeah, that happened, but we don't think about it anymore. We have a new family. Nudge and I do sports for our high school. Four years will definitely change your mind about things. We go to high school in Wisconsin. We are now the Bankton High School Blazers. We even learned how to retract our wings.
Nudge does swim team, basketball, track, and tennis. She's got one best friend that she's always with. Angela Blare. Good kid. She's so open and will listen all the time. She also has a boyfriend. His name is Blake. He's very sweet. He's center for our varsity football team.
The jersey's for all school sports are dark blue with light blue trimming and white lettering. The word Blazers goes diagonal across the front. Even the swimsuits are like that.
Forme, you may ask. Well, I'm doing hockey, and I'm assistant captain, I'm in the mixed team, which is singing and dancing, and most of the music is hip-hop or R&B, and once again assistant captain, and softball, and again assistant captain.
The captain for all of my sports is my best friend Blaze Corollo. Well, ok, her name isn't Blaze, but who wants to be called Bantrala. Yeah, she doesn't like her name. Her boyfriend is Tony. He's the main goalie of the boy's varsity hockey team. He's so sweet, and he helps her work on her shots. Brave boy. He has straight black hair, green eyes, pretty tall, muscular. He's a great guy for her. They've been together for six years. I found it hard to believe that they've stuck together since sixth grade, but their crazy about each other.
She has five brothers, Bruce, Brett, David, Daniel, and Felix. (A/N: Read A Break for information about them) Bruce and Blaze are twins. Same with David and Danny. They live across the street from us in a three story, brown Victorian.
I have a boyfriend, too. Chris. He's captain of the boys hockey team. He works with me and helps me improve because he's been playing since he was four. He, Blaze, and Tony started the same year. He's always very, very supportive, and comes to all of my sporting events. He even makes Tony come along. He has dark brown, curly hair, really tall, tan, strong, has deep blue eyes. I swear I could swim in them. He's so great to me.
Our house is a one story ranch house. We only needed two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and possibly a living room, so we just stuck to the necessities. Thank god for the max card.
_____________________________________________________________
We're all sitting in my bedroom right now, discussing the matter of hockey. Nudge is out with her boyfriend.
"What are you talking about?" I asked Chris, confused.
"Cycling? When you dump the puck into the corner for the guy or girl in your case covering the center post to go get?" Chris answered, in his irritated tone.
"Well, we knew that." Blaze stated sarcastically. " We did not know, however, that you could take a perfectly normal sentence and turn it into a sophisticated math equation. I mean, is it so hard to say what you just told us first? Telling us the geometric measurements of the passes and skating doesn't help us."
"Will you all quit arguing with each other. I get enough of that at home with my two sisters." Tony nearly yelled.
Blaze hugged him and said she was sorry. She really tried to be a great girlfriend. You could definitely see that he loved her as much as she loved him. They were inseparable. Kind of like me and Chris.
"So Max, we have a game on Saturday and Sunday, then a mixed match against Malcolm High School Saturday night" Blaze informed me.
"Sounds good to me." I answered.
I was sitting, cross-legged, in Chris's lap. His arms were around me. We were sitting on the edge of the bed. I was happy. Blaze was too. She was laying down with her head in Tony's lap. He was rubbing her legs that were bent upward. My floor had carpeting, so I think they were comfortable.
We were like this after school a lot. We got our homework done fast, then we did what we felt like. Sometimes it's working on our routines for mixed team. The boys did that with us, too.
To practicing softball, in which I am the teams catcher and Blaze is the starting pitcher. That's a very different thing to do in the snow.
To practicing hockey shots on Tony, who doesn't like saving the shots when he's not on the ice.
To just talking in my room. My room has dark blue walls, violet carpeting, and black trimming. There is a full bed with black and white sheets, a small plasma television, a stereo, an X-box, a walk-in closet, a dresser with a mirror, and one without in it.
"It's okay if I sleep-over here, right?" Blaze asked. "My mom is going through her time of the year where she's a little weird in the head."
Boy, did Blaze know how to be sensitive. Honestly.
"Yeah, it's cool." I replied.
"Sweet." Such a simple answer.
We watched two Star Wars movies. Which ones, I couldn't tell, but then I needed to make dinner. Apparently Nudge had gotten home. I cooked a giant batch of spaghetti for the group of five. We ate for thirty minutes and then the boys had to leave.
"I miss you already." Tony exclaimed to Blaze as he stepped out the door.
"It's a Friday, you'll see me tomorrow." Blaze told him.
He kissed her, than told her he would take her up on that offer, than went to leave in his new Volvo he got for his birthday.
Chris left with just a peck on the lips and a goodbye. His old Ford F-150 was waiting for him on the street. When both boys had left, we grabbed the blow-up mattress and set it up for Blaze to sleep on. We watched another movie with Nudge and then went to bed.
