so. hi.
this idea popped in my head at like 4 in the morning.
yes.
4 in the morning.
another creation at 4 in the flippin morning.
it seems that's where they all come from.
no wonder they're all weird and confusing and crazy.
chips are the bomb.
anyway.
summary: my OC is at school when i hear a familiar name over the announcements, may or may not be good, I'm not making any promises.
rating: t for teen book
disclaimer: don't own anything except my OC and plot...maybe...i haven't seen it yet but it might have happened.
and i know my friend has the same name as max's sister. it's just a coincidence. she's not really max's sister but my real life friend who really exists :) (it'll make sense later!)
oh, and the eldest members are all in 8th grade, it happens. I mean, they are 14 after all. it's not that old. only one year older than me. :)
and nudge is 11 so she can be in 6th grade! i was! for a little while anyway.
and on with the story!
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
My teacher Mr. Spack was going on and on and on about some math gibberish. I don't know what. I wasn't listening.
Again.
What? You probably wouldn't either. Mr. Spack is a very creepy person who has no life at all. He probably lives at the school. He is very old and his full name is John Spack Jr.. JR.! That's just very humorous to me. That he's a junior. :)
AnYwAy.
As I"m bored I'm just looking at the board, pretending to listen, to know what the crap is going on.
"Shardae?" Crap. I looked at my teacher. I raised my eyebrows then lowered them. He knew I was listening to him.
"What's the answer?" He asked.
I once again looked at the board. A bunch of numbers were sprawled on it. I quickly read through the writing trying to figure out the answer.
"5x." I heard whispered. I didn't look at the person who said it. I knew who it was.
"5x?" I said, well more accurately asked loud enough for my teacher to hear.
He nodded and turned around, talking again to the class. I whispered my thanks to Ella, my friend, who sat beside me in the back of the room. She just rolled her eyes, nodded and started working on her story again.
Wow. Lots of nodding.
aNyWaY.

"Good morning staff and students. Today's date is Monday, May 18, 2009. If everyone could please stop what they're doing at this moment in time, it is now time for the morning announcements." my assistant principal, Mr. Owens said over the intercom. He paused for 10 seconds giving the teachers time to quiet the students down. Then, he said the announcements, blah blah blah. I was hearing every other word not the entire thing. Next, he said, "I need these students to come to the office after the announcements are completed." I always listened to this part. It's nice to wonder who's being sent to the office first thing in the morning. "I need Jeff Ride, Nick Ride, Tiffany-Krystal Ride and Maxine Ride to come to the office after the announcements are completed."
Now. My first thought was who the heck were Jeff, Nick, Tiffany-Krystal and Maxine Ride?
Then it dawned on me.
.
..
...
....
...

They were eighth and sixth graders.
Duh.
Just kidding. I did not really know they were eighth and sixth graders.
It took me a few seconds but I knew it was Iggy, Fang, Nudge And Max.
At my school.
On a Monday.
I inwardly squealed. Because I would never squeal out loud. You wanna know why? Because I'm a very quiet person. Really. I am. I could almost, probably pass for Fang's sister. If I had black hair, black eyes, black clothes and olive-colored skin. And if I never showed emotion.
When the announcements were over I asked to go to the restroom. Mr. Spack said go ahead. Then went back to his lesson.
I quietly walked out of the classroom. I went out into the hall. And started walking toward the girls restroom. Of course I didn't actually have to go, I just wanted to see the oldest members of the flock. And guess what?
I did. I instantly recognized who each one was. The really, really, really tall light-haired, sightless eyed guy was Iggy. The not-so tall but still tall guy with black hair, intimidating dark eyes was Fang. And the tall brown-haired girl with brown eyes was Max.
Max had walked out of the 8th grade spanish class, Fang from the 8th grade math class, and Iggy from the 8th grade science class. Yes, even though I was in 7th grade, I knew where all the 8th grade classes were. It's not that creepy. No, of course not.
They met up in the middle of the hallway on the second floor. The office was on the first floor and all three of their classrooms were on the second floor close together. My homeroom was right next to Max', then there were some purple lockers then Fang's homeroom in the corner. Next to his was some more purple lockers then the hallway and after that Iggy's homeroom next to the computer lab/class. The steps were near the computer lab. The steps had a fence type thing around the top so people don't fall and die.
Okay, so maybe they don't die but break their neck or something. Yes I know, I'm so optimistic. Absolutely.
.
I saw a girl with curly brown hair and brown eyes walking down the hall and she said hi to me, I gave a small wave. Then, she joined the trio. I put two and two together and figured that was Nudge that just passed me.
"Should we go down there?"
"I don't know."
"Ig-Jeff, what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything Maxine! Ow!"
"Nudge?"
"No. I didn't do anything. I mean, we've only been here 15 minutes and I didn't want to get in trouble and I was just talking to people and making friends just in case we were going to be here awhile and--"
"Okay Nu-Tiffany."
"Nutiffany?"
"Shut up Jeff. Nick?"
"How come you remember his name?"
"Jeff. Shut up before I kill you. Nick? What'd you do?"
"Nothing."
"Max, What did you do?"
"Nothing! That's why I'm asking you guys!"
What? I'm allowed to listen to their conversations. They shouldn't have been so loud. I stepped out of the bathroom quietly. As I walked past them I said, "You know guys, maybe they have information for you about stuff, you don't always have to assume someone's out to get you."
Remember how I said I was a quiet person. Well, that was probably the longest sentence I have ever said.
"Um, thanks...I guess." Max said, clearly thinking hard. She probably thought I was from the School, or Itex or even BRIGID! :o
Just kidding bout that last part.
I'm not Brigid. I would kill myself if I were. There are plenty of fanfics where Brigid's the evil bad guy out to get the flock and kill the FAX. I am definately not her.
I LOVE the FAX. I would never kill it. Ever. I mean it.
I heard Max mutter something.
Then I turned around and asked, "Aren't you guys the flock?"
Max', Nudge's and Iggy's eyes widened slightly, and Fang, well, you know, he didn't let emotion cross his face.
"Excuse me?" Max asked, after finding her tongue, "Who's this flock you speak of?"
"I'm not working with Mr. Chu or Itex or the School, if that's what you were thinking." I replied. Wow. I have turned into quite the chatter box lately. Freaky.
"How do you know-" Iggy started.
"I read Max' books." I simply stated.
"What books?" Fang asked.
"ZOMG. Max? You wrote a book? Why didn't you tell us? When did you have time to write them? How many did you write? What did you write about? Does she know why we call ourselves the flock? Wh-"
"NUDGE!"
I laughed on the inside. Sometimes, Nudge is just really funny. :)
"How do you know we're the flock?" Max asked me.
"I'm a smart cookie." I replied, almost inaudibly but their hearing picked up every word.
"How many books does Max have?" Nudge asked.
"5." I answered, again quietly.
"Did she tell you why we're called the flock?" Nudge asked.
"Yep."
"Well, what are we?"
"Avian-American."
"You're really quiet. Almost like Fang." Nudge said gesturing to Fang with her thumb at the right time.
"What happened to the lie low, stay hidden policy?" Iggy asked Max incredulously.
"Well..." Max started but didn't finish for the announcements came back on.
"I still need Maxine, Jeff, Nick, and Tiffany-Krystal Ride to come to the office."
"You guys should go down there." I said, it sounded like I whispered but that's how I always talk.
"Yeah..." Fang said.
Wow. First thing Fang said and it was one word. Yeah...
The eldest flock members waved their goodbyes while Nudge told me it was nice meeting me and I should try to be louder when I talk. I told her it wouldn't happen in a million years. She laughed at that and went down the steps with the rest of them.
Overall, I met the flock and it was awesome. :)
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
