The only POV are: Max, Fang, Angel, and Nudge
Max POV
Well. First day of high school seemed bad enough… now I have to be separated from my best friend! What the heck is wrong with these people? While I'm walking down the hall I start thinking about how stupid this idea was. Well, I have 1 friend who is moving and nobody else…oh yeah and my sister Ella. She's so lucky with her perfect hair and perfect face and perfect body and me… I'm just ugly. I mean dirty blonde hair with tints of brown in it. While Miss. Perfect walks with her copper toned hair with hints of copper and ginger highlights. Lucky, I sometimes get jealous but I'm almost never thinking about her. What? Not like you don't get jealous over other people!
I mean seriously back off. Lie off the hater Ade and get a li- next thing I notice I'm on the ground. Then two warm, strong but gentle, hands are on my shoulders. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry I was distracted. Please don't be hurt!" a voice says apologetically When I open my eyes I see dark black eyes looking into mine. Wow, are those beautiful eyes or what? Um, I never said that now shut up! "I'm fine thanks." I say as I get up I realize he doesn't take his hands off my shoulders. "You can let go of me now, I said I'm fine." I say as I shrug his hands off.
As soon as I started walking to my next class I realized he was following me. So I started walking faster and faster until I made it to homeroom. I took my seat and put my books away when I looked up…there he was again! What a stalker, I don't even know this guy why did he follow me.
He walks up to my desk and puts my phone on my desk. "You dropped this." He said, as I noticed him panting. "Thanks." I didn't know what to say after that so I just started looking out a window and hummed my favorite song, Dynamite by Taio Cruz.
Fang POV
I feel so bad about running into her. I wonder how I could make it up to her. So I grabbed her phone out of her pocket as she started walking. I entered my phone number in her contacts including my name. I think she's new to this school so I might as well be her 1st friend. Then I started after her and she started walking faster when she noticed me. I went into my homeroom and handed her, her phone. "You dropped this." I said but not telling her my crazy plan I'm unfolding. "Thanks" she said after she started staring out a window humming my favorite song, Dynamite by Taio Cruz.
So "That's my favorite song!" I said just to get some conversation to happen. "Yeah? Mine too." I took out my phone and put the song on then started to text her number that I so sneakily put into my phone. Heh heh.

To: Max Ride
From: Fang Walker
Easy I'm sitting right next to you and just handed you your phone that I may or may not have gotten your number off of.
"Miss Ride! We do not use cell phones in class, please bring it up here. Would you like to read it aloud or do you want me to keep your phone the rest of the week." Mr. Fergusin yelled at Max.
I sat down next to her in an empty chair. "You might want to go read it aloud." I whispered so quietly only another bird kid could hear. She nodded and stood up walking to the front of the classroom.
She read the texts aloud little did I remember my name was mentioned in those texts.
"Hmm... Fang Walker please come here. Give me your phone." Darn she still doesn't know it was me texting her… crap! I stood up though and handed him my phone and she glared at me but kind of smiled a little. I smiled back and then I knew for sure that I officially made it as her 1st friend. Score!
Max POV
He's so sweet, and handsome, gentle, muscular, dark, oh yeah and hot! His smile made me melt like butter. It was like a half smirk. Oh well a hottie like him is sure to have a girlfriend already. His longish black hair and olive skin was so…different. After class was over and I went to creative designing. I noticed he had walked next door to inventive writing.
So after 3rd bell I walked up to him and went to lunch with him. His name is Nick Walker but kids call him Fang for some reason. Even the teachers call him Fang. Oh well Ella waved for me to come over to her. "I'll be right back" I told Fang as I sorta walked over to Ella's table "So I see you've made…1 friend. Max come on at least make a friend that's not emo or a girl!" Ella whisper yelled at me.
So I walked back over to Fang and some girl tripped me causing me to fall onto the ground face first into my food. I started to cry as everyone laughed at me and ran outside the lunch room and into a space between some lockers. I sat there crying for a while until Fang come back with a bruised cheek and some girl was with him.
"This is Nudge. Nudge this is Max." Fang introduced us. "Fang, what happened to her?" Nudge asked "Hillary tripped her and made her fall into her food." Fang explained. "Oh. Well sweetheart Hillary is just a jerk ok. In fact most of the popular kids are. Hillary is just queen of all jerks." She said before we all giggled a little. "Well I have detention later so I can sit here for a while." Fang told me. Nudge nodded and got up to go back to lunch.
"What happened to your cheek?" I asked after Nudge left. "Oh is it bruised? Well after you left I went and yelled at Hillary but then Sam her boyfriend punched me in the cheek so a punched him really hard in the gut so then I got detention." He explained. He rubbed my back after I came out of the locker space and I like totally freaked. "Don't touch my back! Stay away from me! You're going to kill me!" I yelled and he quickly took his hand off my back and backed away. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you. Why would I kill you?" He sounded depressed now. "Oh, I, um…nothing!" I got up and ran out the school's front doors and into nearby woods.
Fang POV
Well that was odd first she can hear my bird kid whisper now she doesn't want me touching her back. Man she ran fast too. This is very…odd. Oh well I got to head to detention later then I'll look for her. As I walk down the hallway I see Ella and Iggy the pretty couple or whatever and run over to Ella. "Ella what is wrong with Max and why do you want to talk to her all the time?" I asked her. "Well I don't know maybe she just got embarrassed in front of every kid in school and she's my sister." She explained.
"No I mean she started freaking out when I touched her back." I said. "Oh um…she'll tell you when she wants to." She said quickly then walked quickly away.
After detention I ran outside almost as fast as Max. I ran into the woods next to our school and looked for a while when I saw her sitting in a tree. I popped out my wings quickly and made a silent landing on a branch close behind her and hid my wings again quickly. "Hey there you are! Why'd you run off like that?" I said behind her. Apparently that scared and she fell out of the tree.
"Oh my god! Are you okay?" I said hopping out of the tree. She stood up and started talking "I'm fine. It's just I need to tell you something. Or at least show you something." "Okay show or tell away." I encouraged her to hurry.
She stepped back and 13ft, wingspan, wings came out of her spine they were white at the bottom and ¾ of her wing in general was white and the top ¼ was copper colored but the white part was brown speckled. What I take inventive writing doesn't mean I'm passing it. "I have something to show you too." I let my wings uncurl and I think her jaw dropped at my 15ft. wingspan, all black wings.
I smiled and her cheeks turned red. I pretended not to notice but I liked it. Then that is when it all hit me. She doesn't wear make-up. She doesn't like school. She wears ripped jeans and t-shirts with denim jackets. She's different than all the other senior girls at our school. She's from the school too. After she went home I did the same and checked my blog, then fell asleep.
Max POV
I felt bad for getting Fang in trouble. Well I guess he did it to himself. He took my phone...I think and caused that mess, but I didn't mean to flip out when he touched me. Oh well. I was about to go to sleep when I suddenly got this great idea. I uncurled my wings and flew through my open window towards the school. That's when I realized Mr. Fergusin left his classroom windows open. Stupid teacher. I land silently in his classroom. I walk over to his desk and find the phones he...collects. I found an all-black phone with a picture of the word "Fang" as the screen saver so I figured that was Fang's phone and I grabbed it.
That's when I heard the sound of someone trying to get in through the door. I quickly hid under 's desk in fear of getting caught. Then a black figure walked inside the classroom. I held my breath to save my life.
The dark figure got closer until I felt exposed when the figure lifted up Mr. Fergusin's desk and threw it across the room damaging lots of stuff in the room. Then the figure picked me up and pinned me against the wall holding my hands against the wall with only 1 hand. The other hand curled into a fist and punched me hard in the gut. I got a closer look at him…it was…Ari!
Ari swiftly grabbed my leg and snapped in two. I yelped in pain as he dropped me to the floor. He finished me off by kicking me in the jaw…hard breaking it. All I saw then was him laughing then it went black. I still had Fang's phone with me.
