Adventures in High Scool

Chapter 1

This is it, Max. You're here. Finally. I thought to myself as stepped through the doors of Liberty High. My mom, adopted sister Nudge, and I had moved here from a small town in Rhode Island to Seattle after my parents got divorced...quite a culture shock I'll say. They had all different kinds of shops, restaurants, tourist attractions. Quite different then quiet little Rhode Island I'll say. This is where I would spend the next three years of my life. I walked passed several lockers and around the corner to my locker 346.

I opened it and right as I placed my bag inside...

"You're Maximum Ride aren't you?" I heard a very deep voice ask. I closed my locker and turned to see a tall, curly dark haired boy slumping against a locker.

"Yeah..what's it to YOU?" I asked in return. I hate talking to people. Especially creeps who come up outta nowhere and interrogate me.

"Woah! Down girl! No reason to pick up the defensive side here." He said. "I just want to welcome you to Liberty High and introduce myself. My name is Nick Benedict. But lots of people call me Fang."

"Hey. How did you know who I was?" I asked curiously.

"Principle wants me to show you around and help you. It's tough moving schools in the middle of the year. Believe me..I know." He said with a hint of kindness and amusement hidden within his voice. I noticed that Fang had dark mysterious obsidian eyes. I could practically drown in the..ok never mind that. Right at that moment the bell rang for first period. I pulled my schedule out of my jeans pocket and looked at it.

"Mrs. Davidson..." I said aloud, pondering as to where room 102 resided.

"Oh. You're in my class. Follow me!" He said, gesturing with his arm. We passed through some hallways and around some corners before we finally reached the room.

"Okay. Today I will assign you a new book. A Wrinkle In Time by Madeliene L'Engle." The teacher began as Fang and I found our seats. "i would also like to welcome our new student, Max Ride, to our class. Glad to have you, Max!" I nodded and pulled unsure at my completely pitch black t-shirt and rubbed my hands nervously over my jeans. I hate schools! They all have this..weird smell like lab chemicals. It makes me wanna jump out of my skin. Fang reached out and put his hand gently on my thigh. To brake his wrist or not to brake his wrist...THAT is the question..

"Hey Max! Calm down. You're fine!" He said with a glimmer in his eyes. Ugh. I HATE being around people. I wish I could just fly off into the desert.

"Yeah. Thanks. And..hands off? Cool?" I replied with a somewhat more bitter tone than intended. But..guy needs to keep his hands OFF the goods here.

"I want all of you to finish this book by the end of the month. Then you will all do what you do best.." at that point I heard a series of moans embark from the mouths of almost every student who was awake. "Yepp. write a report." She said. I just there. What's hard about that? We continued this for a somewhat boring 35 minutes or so while she corrected papers and lectured on spelling, punctuation, etc. Next was P.E., my favorite class.

Hey guys! I'm hoping this one will be better than the last own! *Disclaimer* I do not own Maximum Ride or any of the characters FROM Maximum Ride...sadly. So.. yeah. Tell me whatcha think!
