Before you read this, let me tell you this: It involves Max, Fang, Iggy, the Gasman, Nudge, and Angel, but they don't have wings, they don't have powers, and most of them don't know each other. They are pretty much normal kids. This chapter focuses on Max…
Tuesday, September 6, 2011.
"Another year of school, think you're ready for it?" Sam asked, hopping up to Max in the school parking lot.
"God, no," She breathed, chuckling. She shifted her books to one arm and took Sam's hand with her free one. It was the first day of 16-year old Max's junior year in high school. Her 18-year old boyfriend, Sam, was starting his senior year.
"Yeah, me either. I could so live without the drama of high school. Do you think I could make it in the wild, if I ran away?" He asked, swinging his and Max's hands.
"No," Max answered with a laugh. They sauntered along through the flood of anxious teens, worry free. Max had a pretty perfect life with two parents - though they weren't her real parents - who loved her, a perfect boyfriend, and a lovely group of friends.
"Hey, lovebirds!" Nadia, one of Max's best friends, screamed, popping up over Max's shoulder.
"Oh!" Max exclaimed, turning around to find Nadia and her twin sister Nya squeezing her in a large bear hug.
"Hey, girls," Sam said, adding onto the Max sandwich.
"What the hell?" Kennedy, another one of Max's and Sam's friends, yelled. She appeared out of the blue and slapped the back of Sam's head. "Why was I not invited to this big ball of PDA?" she laughed, putting her arms around Sam's neck. She clung to him and rocked back and forth in his arms.
"Okay, enough of that," Max murmured, pulling Kennedy off of Sam. "He's taken."
"Oh, yeah he is," She smirked, linking her arm through his. Max came up and took his other arm and they headed in the direction of the touring school building.
Up ahead, they heard screams and a bunch of kids moved to make a path. Sam pulled Max and Kennedy to the side just as a tall kid with black hair and black clothes was pushed to the ground at their feet. He had blood dripping from his eyebrow and his lip was split. Another kid, about his same height with brown hair and a bruise in his cheek ran up and kicked the guy on the ground hard in the side. Max gasped pulled away from Sam.
"Stop!" She yelled, pushing at the guy still standing. He shot her a dirty look then ran away through the crowd. She turned to the boy on the ground, grabbed his hand, and pulled him off the ground. "Are you okay?" Max asked, trying to meet his eyes.
"Yeah, fine." The boy said, touching his bloody eyebrow then looking at his hand. "But I could've handled that myself," he spat, pulling his hand away from Max's grip. He looked at her and their eyes met for a quick moment, and then he turned and ran the opposite way of the other guy, to the main road and away from the school.
"Well, that was weird," Kennedy said, as Max stared after the mysterious boy.
"Great way to start the year," Nadia murmured.
"Totally," Nya agreed.
