You know those neighborhoods, the ones with the perfect green grass and the three story houses with little stone walkways and solar lights? The ones with the perfectly paved side walks, the flower gardens and big beautiful trees? The ones you mostly see in movies? Well I live there. I live there with a younger sister named Nudge who will NEVER STOP TALKING, a mom and a dad. But they aren't my real family. I don't know where I came from but I know I wasn't born into this perfect family.

My name is Maximum ride but I go by Max. I opened my eyes and groaned. Not again. Not another day at the dreadful thing called school. I through back my purple comforter and looked around my pale green room with light pink curtains a cute plaid window seat, purple desk, and dresser. My room looks a lot like the Easter Bunny puked all over it. But it's nice. Keeps me happy. After wrestling into my super skinny jeans (I will never give them up!) I pulled on my black Dubstep t-shirt, and pulled my long blonde hair into a ponytail. I yanked on my purple converse (I will wear them everyday until I die). After just a little makeup, I ran down the stairs to the kitchen.

As soon as I stepped in Nudge was exploding like a machine gun with questions and random chatter.

"Max! Guess what?! GUESS WHAT?!"

"What." I said sitting down at the island and beginning to eat.

"Mom's friend's house burned down!" I stopped chewing my toast and stared at her. She was smiling and practicly falling of the stool.

"How is that a good thing?"

"Because they are staying with US! For a couple of months!" She screamed and jumped of the stool to get ready for school. My mom put some more eggs on my plate.

"Who is staying with us?"

"My friend Jessie from high school. She is bringing her two kids." She must have seen the horrified look on my face. "The younger girl is Nudge's age and the boy is your age. I'm sure you guys will all get along great." She smiled and began washing the dishes. Ifinished my food and ran up the stairs to the second floor bathroom to brush my teeth.

The door bell rang. I started to fix my hair and had more eyeliner. My mom's cheery voice echoed around the entryway. Then she was walking up the stairs, the sound of other feet behind her. I stepped into the hall way as a petite woman with very light hair and bright blue eyes followed my mom. Her hand was loosly holding a small girl who shared her mother's thin frame, and bright eyes. Behind her was a boy all in black with shaggy black hair and extremely dark brown eyes shining through his bangs. My mother was playing tour guide and led the boy up the next flight of stairs.

Great. My floor of the house is now invaded by Emo. Let's hope he doesn't play any loud punk music or anything. That is my job. I grabbed my bag and ran out the door.

The side walk was white washed and clean. The trees were big and green from the summer growth, September hadn't taken it's toll quite yet. So far the past few weeks of school have sucked. So walking to the bus stop was like a kid walking out the the battle feild. 3 weeks in and I was already branded Loser by just about everyone. I don't understand it.

The kids at the bus stop were laughing and talking and playfully shoving each other. I stood a good 10 feet away and jammed my earbuds in. I clicked on some Skrillex. The bright yellow bus stood out against the blue sky. I climbed up the steps and ducked my head as people threw curmpled paper balls at me. I hurried to the back of the bus which was pretty much reserved for the losers. I took the last seat and ducked as a pencil flew past my head. I switched to my Pandora app and attempted to blast my brains out with Flux Pavillion,

The bus crawled to a stop at the last bus stop and I looked up to see Ella run down the aisle stopping only breifly to flip off a girl who had chucked a notebook. Ella crashed onto my seat, swearing under her breath.

"Was there some rumor spread about us that I don't know?" I shrugged.

"Don't know." Ella stopped untangeling her head phones.

"What's wrong? You usually aren't this moody." I didn't answer. "Is some one on their per-" Ella said laughing.

"Don't say the dreadful word. And no, that was last week." I looked down at my phone and continued reading the story online, laughing to myself.

"My mom didn't break the news that there would be a lady and her two kids staying with us for a couple months. Now there is 2 Nudges and an Emo in my house."

"Yikes," Ella said putting in her earbuds, "It could be worse."

The bus finally pulled up at McAlaster High. The building was huge and made of brick. Small trees grew in big stone planters. A flag whipped in the wind on it's pole. We walked up the the school and into the halls lined with blue and grey lockers. I opened mine and got all my home work and books situated. Ella and I parted ways as we made our way to first period. All the work and avoiding being the target of flying objects in the halls, kept me from thinking about anything to do with home and the slightly unwanted guests.
