Chapter 1
I stood there, mortified, embarrassed, as I watched the two twist and turn their heads to deepen the passion between them. I couldn't take my eyes off of them, though all I wanted to do was run out and let the sky take me away. They pulled away for air, and that's when he noticed me. He turned to see my face, pale and eyes wide and knew that I had seen everything. When his sweet lips spoke my name, the sound flowed with a melody like no other. It made the scene replay in my head a million times until my brain finally listened to me and I took off down the school hallway. I was running at full speed, my wings aching to spread out in the warm, intense sunlight. I heard his footsteps falling into the rhythm of mine and I ran faster. But he was just a bit faster than me and grabbed my arm. His dark eyes pierced my heart.
"Max," He said again. I stared at him.
"Fang, no." Was my reply. I jerked my arm from his loose grip and continued running. My golden brown hair flew in waves as I burst through the doors. I took a deep breath and jumped into the air. My white-speckled wings unfurled as the sunlight caught my features for a split second. I zoomed straight up into the sky, not taking a second look at the dark haired boy below. I tried to clear my mind, let the wind blow all of my worries, troubles, and stress away. But no matter how hard I tried to be the tough leader I usually am, my heart was shattered into a million pieces. I closed my eyes as the sun warmed my face and stopped in the air. I let myself float for a moment before soaring in the direction of the wind. This was usually my bliss. But the way Fang had looked at her, the way he kissed her; it was as if I could see sparks flying.
I sighed, inhaling the clean, fresh air. There was a rotten sour taste in my mouth, the taste of jealousy. I was flying on my own this time, no backup. It was kind of unusual; I always had at least one flock member with me. But this time I was alone. I scowled at the old taste and flew down into the city.
We lived with an agent, Anne, now. We went to school and besides having wings and being on the lookout for Erasers; we were just normal and ordinary kids around other ordinary kids. So far I only had one friend, me and my trust issues. But Fang seems to have adapted to this new world pretty well. I felt like punching myself, or banging my head against a tree. That's how stupid I felt. My head was spinning, and I felt a migraine coming on.
Most girls would cry, feeling like their world had ended altogether. But I wasn't like most girls. I was built for destruction (sort of). I was born for revenge. And that's exactly what I was going to do; get revenge on Fang for kissing that girl, Lissa. And I knew the perfect person to use for this type of revenge. Because nothing drove him crazier than seeing me get kissy-kissy with some other guy.

I walked into school confidently the next day with my head held high and my chest out. I had tried my best to avoid Fang that morning and I did pretty well, if I do say so myself. There was one guy that had caught my attention, and I had certainly caught his. I walked into the Media Centre of the school and spotted him. His name was Sam. He had flirted with me since the day that the flock and I had first come to this school. He was perfect for my plot, and pretty good looking anyways. I walked over to his desk and took a seat. His face was buried in a textbook so I decided to try to get his attention.
I cleared my throat. "Hey, Sam." I grinned.
He looked up from his book and smiled back. "Oh, hey Max. How's it been?"
I casually flipped my hair over my shoulder; I had straightened it. "Eh, same old, same old. What about you? Anything going on?"
He crinkled his nose. "Not really. But if you're not doing anything, wanna hang on Saturday? My relatives are coming into town and I need to be as far away from them as possible."
My eyes lit up and I felt like I was finally back in control. "Sure, yeah, that'd be great." I smiled a bit. "I'll see you Saturday?"
He nodded. "Yeah," He smiled; he had a great one. "Saturday."
I glanced up at the clock and saw the school day was almost over. "Yeah, well I got to go. I have to get to the hallway before I get trampled." He laughed.
I picked up my bag and left him. I thought over what had just happened and smirked to myself. I had a date on Saturday with a fairly decent looking guy. Maybe this plan was better than I thought. I flipped my hair again and walked out the door. The air in the hallway was crisp, the whole place lit up by the bright florescent lights. I squinted and let my eyes slowly readjust to the new light. I blinked a couple of times and saw that the hallway was completely empty. I walked through two glass doors and to my locker. I twisted the number s of the combination and out fell a piece of paper. I turned it over and saw a picture of me and the rest of the flock. Fang, Iggy, and I were in the back and Nudge, Angel, And Gazzy in the front. Total was sitting in Angel's lap and we were all smiling. I looked at Fang's face and my breath caught in my throat.
I closed my locker and sat on the floor, my back pressed against the cool metal. I heard a door shut and turned my head to see him. Fang. I watched him walk towards me, not moving, not making the slightest sound. My heart was thumping in my chest and I wondered if he could hear it. I slowly and quietly breathed in through my nose, the sharp, metallic smell wafted in my nostrils. His footsteps matched the beat of my heart, which right now was slow and hesitant. He sat down next to me, but didn't say a word. His back was also pressed up against the lockers, and I saw the outer muscles of his wings twitch, anxious to be set free. We were both staring at the dull white wall before us; the clock's soft clicking the only sound in the hallway. The silence was growing and it was beginning to box in my ears. The ear-shattering bell then sounded and the hallway was then flooded with screams, laughs, and the kids of my new school. Everything seemed to be moving in fast forward except for Fang and I, who had pressed pause.
The hallways eventually cleared and once again it was me and Fang, alone.
"I screwed up, didn't I?" He breathed.
I wanted to yell at him, curse at him, and tell him that was the most idiotic question ever asked. But then I remembered Sam.
I took in a deep breath. "No, you didn't. It just took me by surprise that's all. If you wanna date Lissa, that's fine with me. I mean, we can both date the people we like, right?" I glanced over at him.
He looked at me with a bizarre look on his face. "What are you talking about?
Just then, Sam walked out of the Media Centre and spotted the two of us. He looked Fang over and then at me. He smiled his 100-watt smile.
"Hey Max. Can't wait for our date on Saturday!" He walked off after taking another quick glance at Fang.
Fang slowly turned to face me and our eyes met. "You're going on a date with Sam?"
I smirked. "Can't we both date people we like?" I grabbed my bag, grinned sneakily at Fang and strutted away, leaving him behind. I looked back at him over my shoulders and saw his head tilted back against the lockers. I saw something on his face, in his eyes, that I had never seen before.
He looked…hurt.
