Chapter 1

This is my first story, please be kind and do not judge too harshly. Thank you and enjoy reading!

Also I do not own ANY Maximum Ride characters.

Max's P.O.V

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off at six' thirty in the morning. I quickly turned it off, my way. My brain had just started going back into "dream world" when I heard my mom scream from downstairs. Great. I rolled out of bed, and of course being me, forgot that the boxes were their. "Ouch!" I screamed silently. By know your probably wondering, okay not the most normal way to introduce myself. My name is Maximum, (Max for short) Ride. I have tow siblings, both younger than me. One is named Ella and the other Angel. The three of us are pretty close and if we ever fight, well that should go in the world record book for 'Shortest Fight Ever." Pretty normal life, right. Well, this is where my life gets interesting. My mom is a single mother, after my dad left us. She recently got promoted for her job, which was great because they were going to pay her more. However, this meant we had to move from our cottage by the sea to a small-town-home. Not that I don't love the outdoors or anything, but I am a little bit of a "water-girl," so being away from the sea-not easy. Last night we had arrived at our "new home," and I had to admit when I first saw it, I could not believe that we would be living here. It was really pretty and big. It has two stories, four bedrooms and bathrooms, and everything else, your common home has. The outside was also not that bad, it did not have the sea (unfortunately my mom could not bring that with us) but it seemed to have been well maintained. It was also really weird for us to have neighbors too. At the cottage the only other home was six miles away. Well this morning, I had my first day of my new school. High School, to be precise. Is it not already difficult enough to have moved, but now start at a new school. Meeting new people and trying to be nice, while everyone is judging and watching you.

I walked over to my one of the boxes, since I had not started (I mean finished) unpacking,and picked out some clothes to wear. I decided on a pair of jeans and t-shirt. As you can tell, I am not a very girly-girly. About ten minutes later I was showered and dressed. I walked downstairs and was greeted by my mom and sisters, who had already started eating breakfast. I joined them and then it was time to leave for school. Oh Joy, (note the sarcasm). Ella and I started walking to school, since my mom was going to drive Angel to her school. Sadly, Ella was only in middle school, and unlike our other school, middle school and high school were not combined. First, I walked Ella and she immediately found a group of girls, in which she started a conversation with. I wish things could be that easy for me. I continued my walk to my new school while having "What-If" thoughts. I soon realized where I was, in front of my new school. Here goes nothing. I walked through the front doors and headed to the front office. There they gave me my new locker combination and schedule. As the woman behind the desk, handed me my stuff, she wished me a "Good Luck." Not a good sign. I walked out only to bump into a red-haired boy.

(Italiacs: Iggy, Regular: Max)

"Oh, my gosh, I am so sorry, I should have been looking where I was going."

"It's okay," he responded, "By the way, my name's Iggy, what's yours?"

"Max, Maximum Ride, I'm new here."

"Cool well it was great to meet you Max, I am hoping we can be good friends," Iggy said.

"Yeah me too. So Iggy, is there anything I need to know in order to survive here?"

"Only one thing, stay away from the kid named Fang. He is the school bad boy and is always causing trouble."

"Alright, thanks Iggy."

"Hey by the way, do you want to sit with me and my friend, Gazzy during lunch?"

"Sure, that sound great. See ya' around."

So how was it. Please review thank you very much!
