A/N: Well, This is my first fanfiction ever, so give me your feedback. I feel really awkward… like I'm talking to no one…I don't own anything… yeah… k bye…

Chapter 1

I got out of the car to my new house, somewhere unimportant in Arizona. To start things off, my name is Maximum Ride (Technically it should be Maximum Martinez, since that's my adoptive moms name, but whatever), I'm 17 years old, and I have wings. No one knows about this not even Val, my "mom" or Ella my "sister". My real mom found out when I was five and they were just growing in so… she freaked and left me, she dropped me off at the adoption agency and never came back.

Anywhoo… My Val was just offered a job as a vet here, so we had to move here from New Jersey. Ella and I don't have a dad, I never did, but she used to, some weenie named Jeb, he ditched them for someone named Brigid.

"Max," Ella said sounding bored, "Are you coming or what?"

"Uhuh," I said climbing out of the car. Ella and I didn't see eye to eye. She was happy being the only child.

I looked up at the HUGE house infront of me. Wow! I had no idea we were that rich… Val broke through my train of thoughts, "Max, your room is on the left side of the hallway all the way down on the left, on the second floor."

I went in the house and if it was nice outside, man it was PERFECT inside. Everything seemed so nice, and I hated it, I missed my tiny New Jersey house. I lugged my stuff to the room Val instructed me to go to. I slowly opened hoping that Val would know that I wouldn't want anything to expensive or girly. But, when I looked up it was MY definition of perfect.

The walls were sky blue, but not to light. My bed had a black quilt on it, there was a desk for my laptop, and to a T.V. It wasn't one of those flat screens though, it was an old antique one, I loved it! There was even a lock on the door so that I could unfurl my wings a bit and not worry about Ella charging in saying I took her iPod.

I quickly unpacked my few belongings and put my close away in my new mahogany dresser (A/N: I just thought of The Hunger Games, Just had to say… k bye…), and then my mom called me down for dinner.

For dinner we had pizza, yum. Then Val started talking about how grateful she was that we moved here for her and her dreams of being the best vet ever.

"I know you girls have friends back home, and trust me we'll take visits to see them, I promise you," She started tearing up after that. Aaw, well Ella had tons of friends because she was popular, but me, I had a grand total of 0, no joke, Ella told everyone how my real mom hadn't wanted me, so I must be a freak. Ella was the most influential girl in school, so everyone agreed to make me feel as if I was an outcast. Can't you just feel the sisterly love? I was kinda hoping that maybe I could make some before Ella climbed to the top of the social pyramid. Since school starts tomorrow, I got to bed early that night.

A/n: So, tell me what you guys think of it… should I keep going…? K bye…
