I don't own maximum ride.
I wanted for nothing but the pain to go away. But, it kept swirling around me, taking me away from the world. Death was a mere inches away from me. I could almost see its bottomless pits for eyes, and hear its evil and cruel laugh. I panicked; I started kicking, trying anything, grabbing everything. OR, at least I tried to grab everything but, only, there was nothing to grab. I would die in a matter of seconds.
I jolted upright on my bed. Sweat dripped down from my brow and my breathing was labored. It was just a dream. NO! It was all just a nightmare. Everything about it sent shivers down my spine, from the darkness to death. I looked at my alarm clock. 12:32, I sighed. I almost didn't want to go back to bed, but I needed the sleep.
BEEP! Ugh.
BEEP! What is that?
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Stupid alarm, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, then turned off the alarm. I ran my hands through my dirty blonde hair, wincing when I hit the knots.
Another day to add to the growing pain inside me, I could be a poet. Not, I have no friends, and nobody cared. It was just me alone, by myself.
I hopped out of my bed and went to my closet. I closed my eyes and randomly picked out an outfit to wear.
Dark wash skinny jeans and a 'music is life' tee. I then went into the corner of my room wear my like 15 pair of converse were waiting for me. I just put on some simple black ones; I headed out of my room and into my bathroom across the hall.
I brushed my teeth and combed my hair, then picked up my backpack outside the door. It was heavy with all new supplies for the first day of school. I went downstairs into the kitchen; nobody was home so I poured myself like 5 bowls of cereal. But, like I said, nobody was home. So it was okay. I grabbed my backpack which I had thrown onto a couch, and headed out the door.
I lived about a 10-15 minute walk from my school. While walking my mind began to wander, will I get a friend this year? Probably not, will I get a boyfriend? Hell no! Will I get suspended? Probably. No, no, no, no. My life was full of no's. Suddenly, I ran into a black wall. No? it was a person, a boy.
"Sorry." I muttered. I started to walk away when a hand grabbed my arm. I quickly pulled my grip from theirs and twisted their arm.
"Ouch! Hey! Sorry, sorry! Whoa calm down!" The boy exclaimed.
"Sorry, again." I said "What do you want?"
"Um, where's the flock high school? I know it's like, the last few days of school but we need to go here before the Flock Academy." A strawberry blonde haired boy said. He was the same guy that grabbed my wrist. He had piercing blue eyes; he was tall and had on a white shirt and black skinny jeans.
"Um, well it's this way I'm going there too. The flock high school and Academy. I can show you where to go."
"Thanks, that's really nice. I'm Iggy and this is Fang" he gestured to a tall shaggy black haired boy. He had on all black and his eyes were like bottomless pits. They were a really dark brown, almost black and they had flecks of gold in them. "I know it's really closer to the last day of school and we really appreciate this."
I realized 'Fang' hadn't spoken at all.
"What, you don't talk to strangers? Didn't your mom ever tell you that's rude?" I said with a smirk.
"Nah, I always talk to strangers, just yesterday I talked to red-haired stranger. She was god-awful annoying." I froze. God-awful annoying? Red-haired? Remind you of anyone Maxy? The voice in my head said.
"You mean Lissa?" I asked. You could hear the distaste in my voice. "God-awful is right! She's a bitch, and the school slut, other than Brigid."
"Well, I defiantly hated her. She was flirting with me, rather umm, sexually. It was horrible!" he shuddered. I laughed my first laugh in who knows how long. It felt, good. Maybe the Academy wouldn't be all that bad; it couldn't be now that I knew Fang and Iggy. But, they could turn, just like everybody else.
