How did I get to this? How in the world did I end up falling for him? I shouldn't love him but yet I do. How did it get to this, how, just how.

I guess I should introduce myself first my name is Maximum Ride Batchelder. I go by Max call me anything else and you won't live to say it again, we clear, good. Anyway I'm 16 years old. I'm a sophomore in high school. I'm 5'9, 120 lbs. I have long dirty blond hair with brown and red streaks and chocolate brown eyes with golden tan skin. I'm a bit of a tomboy. I hate skirts, dresses, the color pink, heels, and other things like that.

Said him is named Nicholas "Fang" Martinez. He is also 16 and a sophomore in high school. He's 6'2, 125 lbs. he has black hair, black eyes and olive skin. He's what you'd qualify to be emo/ Goth but he hates being called that.

Also he is my brother. Yep you heard/read right. My brother B-R-O-T-H-E-R bru-ther. Ok before you go rambling on about incest and all that shit I will have you know that Fang in my step brother but he is my brother none the less.

Ok now that we have all of that covered let me start from the beginning.

8 years ago

"Max come down here now" my dad (Jeb) yelled

"No I don't want a new mom I want my real mom" I yelled back

"MAXIMUM GET YOUR LITTLE BUTT DOWN HERE NOW" Jeb shouted

I stomped down stairs knowing that if I didn't I was in for one hell of a punishment.

"In the car now" Jeb growled". Went to the car and got in slamming the door hard. After about 15 minutes we pulled into the driveway of a two story blue house.

We got out of the car and Jeb knocked on the door a Hispanic lady answer the door and ushered us in she introduced herself as Valencia Martinez then, she introduced her us to her son Nicholas. From the first glance I knew I didn't like him. He was completely dress in black and completely silent. Even his eyes were black. Who has black eyes I mean really I didn't even know that could happen in real life I've only heard of that happening in movies.

Anyways since I didn't like him I turned to go wait in the car. I was about to get to the door nick grabbed my arm I turned to slap his hand off of me and he did something insane he bit me. He freaking bit me I screamed and yanked my arm out of his mouth. Blood started to well up on my arm. My arm started to throb and it hurt like hell and that's how Fang got his name.

A few weeks' later Jeb and Valencia got married and we moved into a house together and all that crap. Let's just say that the day Fang bit me was the day my roller coaster of a life went on its first major drop. God I hate my life.

Present

"Maaaaaax. Maaaax. Max. MAX. MAXIE."

"WHAT." I yelled while sitting up.

I have a few questions for you." my friend Nudge said.

"Yeah questions." said my other friend Angel.

We were sitting together at lunch

"What is it you want to know?" I said annoyed.

"ok I heard from a friend whose frenemy told her that her best friends sister saw you and Nicolas Martinez riding to school together ever since the merge"

(Important info: Nudge is referring to the mere of mine and Fangs high school. because I hate his guts so much I chose to go to a different high school then him but of course a quarter way through our sophomore year our schools merge which is just great. god I hate my life.)

"Yeah it's true," I said while stretching, "why do you want to know?"

Nudge stared at me awestruck then she turned to Angel saying "Ang why do we want to know?"

"Let's see Nudge," she said in a thinking position, "probably because." she paused.

Both she and Nudge looked at me and said in unison "he's one of the top five hottest guys in the whole school!"

I just burst out laughing. I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of my chair. after a good 5 minutes I began to regained my composure and said fighting back giggles, "Fang really you think that idiot is hot? I'll give you that he doesn't look half bad but he is not hot."

They just said there and gaped. after a few minutes Nudge said at impossible speeds "ok I have lots of questions now like why are riding to school with nick why did you call him Fang why did you call him an idiot why don't you think he's hot cause you know he I."

"NUDGE" I yelled

"You know that's no way to speak to yours friends." someone snottily said behind me.

I turned around and saw that it was the snotty redhead cheerleader. "Oh it's you Lissa. What do you want?" I snarled.

"Well I want to know the answers to the questions your little friend was just asking."

"Normally I wouldn't answer a snotty bitch like you but I have nothing to hide." I laughed

"Why you little."

I interrupted her "as for the answers to the questions. Ok let's see," I took a deep breath. "I riding to with Fang cause now that our schools are merge their making us carpool. I call him Fang cause eight years ago he bit me and I still have the scar. I called him an idiot cause he is, I mean he didn't learn how to tie his shoes till he was ten I mean embarrassing right. Also in pretty thinking Fang is hot which he is not is illegal."

"How thinking Fang is hot illegal." Nudge asked

"Well because he's my brother."
