~CHAPTER 1~
~*Wolf's POV*~
*Time: Around 7:15*
I walked onto campus, stopped in front of the school, and sighed. I have a feeling this will be a llloonnngg day….
I finally opened up the double doors to the school. At least no one is here right now.. I really should find my watch, if I even have it.
Hold up. Let me rewind a bit here.
My name is Wolf Fox(kinda made it up myself, but you'll here that story later). I'm about 15 years old, and I'm kinda living on my own at the moment.
Sorry! No flash backs yet.
So anyway, I decided to go to a high school called Arizona High. Stupid name. They need imaginations! But, yeah. So here I am wandering the halls, figuring how I should grab my books, what classes I have to do, where my classes are, and most importantly, where the office is.
I really don't want to deal with this crap, but it's alright I guess.
"Mom! C'mon, you just happen to be teaching our classes today?"
"Yes, actually. They needed me for these classes, and you guys have most of the same classes!"
"BUT MOM!" I think I heard an echo…. Did I happen to mention that I have very dry sarcasm?
When they turned the corner, I saw another freshman (it's really obvious when someone is a freshman), and I'm guessing her sister, who looked to be about a sophomore, arguing with their mom.
The younger sister was wearing navy blue knee-length skirt with a white half-sleeved shirt with navy stripes going across the shirt and white sandals with straps around the heel, while the older sister was wearing dark colored jeans and a dark purple shirt with "Rockin' out!" splatter-painted in all caps across an electric guitar with dark blue Converse. The mom wore the normal "female teacher attire" – calf length light brown skirt; slightly frilled around the edges, plain black tank top; black Mary Janes.
The sister growled at me because I was smirking at the scene before me. "What's your deal, kid? Who are you and why are you here this freaking early? Are you crazy?"
I'm a happy person, so I smiled at her. Well, that, and I'm not easily intimidated. "Sorry, I just thought that it's funny how you guys are acting. My name's Wolf, and I'm new to the school. Freshman. I'm here just to get used to the school a bit. And yeah, I am crazy. What about you?"
They all (mom included here) stared at me with identical 'WHAT THE FRICK!' faces. I had to laugh.
The older sister spoke first. "Uh, I'm Max," she gestured to her sister, then her mom. "This is Ella, and this is our mom, Dr. Martinez. She doesn't like the title Mrs. Martinez. We found out she had to sub today, so we have been trying to talk her out of it, and just ended up here."
I smiled. "Nice plan, Dr. Martinez. Welp," I started, popping the 'p', "I should go hunt down the rest of my classes, then I desperately need food even though I ate, like, 30 minutes ago so.." I don't know what else to say.
Ella giggled, so I tilted my head a slight bit to the right and cocked an eyebrow, which is my sign and/or a universal sign for 'I'm confused.' "You even sound like you are a wolf!" I turned my head back upright and smiled.
"So, where is your homeroom?"
"409. What about you, Ella?"
She smiled. "Same one."
I felt my eyes widen and I ran the whole 5 feet over and high-fived her. "YES! I WILL KNOW SOMEONE IN MY CLASS!" It's kinda awkward not knowing anyone, ya know?
Max reached over and took the paper with my classes out of my left hand(I forgot those were there…), interfering with our epic high-five. "Uh, whatcha doing?"
She stared at the paper in shock. "Uh, we have 3 of the same classes, and besides homeroom, you have 2 other classes with Ella, and you have lunch with us."
Everything went awkwardly quiet as they stared at me again, so I said, "Whoa, wait. Hold up. Rewind." I stepped a half step back as they smiled. "Why is this a shock?" They stared at me so I explained, " I was in Catholic school until this year when I came here." Then came the 'A-ha!' moment…. Yes, I name stuff like that… All of you laughing at me, I know it's funny, but this story gets better so save the laughing please.
So here's where all the drama came in…
~*Max's POV*~
*Time: About 6:45*
I heard Ella yelling at mom for subbing from my bedroom. Dang it Ella!
I dislike… That's not good enough… I hate… no….. I despise Mondays from the bottom of my very soul. Much better.
So I woke up, changed, brushed my blonde-brown hair quickly, and ran downstairs. "ELLA, SHUTTUP! WE WILL DEAL WITH IT OKAY?"
"NO, WE WON'T!"
"YEAH WE-"
"GIRLS!" mom shouted. (I think we all need to learn how to control our anger better…)
So we shut up. Mom nodded. "Much better. Now, if you have to talk to me about this, c'mon. We need to go buy breakfast."
Let's see, genetic traits include: Anger issues, can persuade people to see things our way easily (unless we are trying that on each other), and aren't the best chefs in the world.
Sure, mom can make desserts and things, but it's harder for her to make a meal. Ella can make soup, and I just make any food I'm cooking explode. Why? Because we all get distracted easily, and technology hates us. Another genetic factor.
So mom and Ella argued the whole way to McDonald's while I listened to New Divide by Linkin Park on my iPod. I love IPod Touches so much.
I started supporting Ella, and we somehow ended up in the hallway of high school. Wait where did my- Never mind, I ate my McMuffin….
"Mom! C'mon, you just happen to be teaching our classes today?" Ella whined. I agree 100% on this.
"Yes, actually. They needed me for these classes, and you guys have most of the same classes!"
"BUT MOM!" We said in usion, and mom just rolled her eyes, and started to stop when we turned the corner. Ella and I stopped too, because we saw a random girl just leaning against the lockers, smirking at us, eyes twinkling with mischief. I don't know what to think about her.
So I did what I did best. I intimidated her… or at least tried to. "What's your deal kid? Who are you and why are you here early?" There. Growling that out should make her scared.
She just smiled at me. "Sorry, I just thought that it's funny how you guys are acting. My name's Wolf, and I'm new to the school. Freshman. I'm here just to get used to the school a bit. And yeah, I am crazy. What about you?"
We all stared at her, and after about a minute, I introduced all of us.
When she and Ella high-fived after finding out they are in the same homeroom (haha she has to deal with mom now!), I snatched her class sheet. What the-?
1st period: World History(mandatory for freshmen) With Angel and Nudge 2nd period: Geometry(very few freshman get to take this when they transfer) With Ella I think… No, she transferred out…. Wolf's with Iggy and Fang, I think… 3rd Period: AP Bio Another one of my classes. Lunch-2(same as the gang, Ella and I, since the class before lunch can go into part of it, or the class after) 4th Period: Study Hall …That lucky dog… 5th period: P.E. That's with Ella I. The years get mixed up so you can meet upper or lower classmen. 6th period: English 10. With Nudge and Gazzy.
Mom and Ella saw the list so we all stared at her. We all talked for a bit…
Until Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge, Angel, and Fang all showed up, running towards us, yelling random stuff.
"Max, Angel-!" "OMG ELLA, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE-" "Sorry Max but-" "Hey Max-"
"EVERYONE SHUT UP FOR A SECOND!" I yell over all the noise, quickly silencing my friends. "Good. So what's going on?"
"Nothing." "Just trying to catch up-" "Making bombs of-!" "ZOMG, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE DRESS I-" "Max, Gazzy ate my-" "Don't trust Angel! I didn-"
I glared everyone down, graudually making everything silent.
Until I hear loud laughter that is.
I turn and start cracking up as soon as I see Wolf on the ground, who is so close to howling laughter, it made Ella, mom, and I laugh to the point where we were hunched over.
As soon as our laugh fest was done, Wolf noticed everyone staring at her, so she attempted in trying to keep a straight face-and failed- and she rolled on her back and sat up, leaning back on her hands. "Hey. I'm Wolf. So… What goes on people-I-don't-know?"
"Hey there! Well, I'm Nudge-" Nudge started until I said to let everyone introduce themselves, which made Wolf snicker as she got up.
"'Sup? I'm Iggy."
"I'm the Gasman, but call me Gazzy!" Please note this was said with a face that practically yelled "ASK ME WHY I'M CALLED GAZZY!"
To his disappointment, she didn't ask, and instead looked over to Fang, who was next.
Head nod. "Fang." Head nod from Wolf. Nice basically wordless introduction, Fang.
Angel giggled at my thoughts, which made Wolf look at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Hi, I'm Angel! Gazzy is my brother." She said with a look of pure innocence.
"Cool. Nice to meet you guys!" Wolf said.
We all looked at her schedule and told her if we were in her class, and then began the walk to homeroom.
It's a bad thing having all of us in homerooms really close to each other. Ella, Nudge, and Wolf in the same homeroom while Gazzy and Angel were in the one right next to them. Around the corner was where Fang, Iggy, and I had homeroom. This is going to be a fun day. Can you tell that there is sarcasm?
~A/N: Super long 1st chapter, sooo I hope it's good! 1st fanfiction I have written for Maximum Ride, and it isn't beta'd. Next chapter will be some more filler of classes to help the story get moving! ~
