Hey! So, this is a Maximum Ride fanfic. The Flock will come in a little bit later. Just FYI, all of the characters are OC's right now. Also, I don't own Maximum Ride, as awesome as that would be. Anyways, I hope you like it! Feel free to check out my other stories and give me a review. I always like to know what you're thinking! Thanks! :)

No one gets it. No one understands. If the did, I wouldn't get put through this. Every day. For my entire life. They just run tests on me. They use me for experiments. To them, I'm just a thing. But to us, I'm a real person. With real feelings. And real thoughts.

So to us, the White Coats are complete idiots.

And by us, I mean the experiments. The test tube babies.

Who are currently living in dog crates.

Yeah. Dog crates.

Luckily, we bird kids get the Husky sized ones, unlike that poor fish guy who lives like a Chihuahua.

If you haven't noticed yet, the White Coats completely hate us.

So, a little bit of back story. I'm Shay. I've lived in the School my entire life. Therefore, I am not your normal 15 year old.

I have wings.

Go ahead. Read that again. Stare at those words in shock. But it's not going to change a thing, I can promise you that.

My wings are a light brown. They have black, white, and gold specks on them that add to their beauty. Overall, I love my wings. I give them an A+.

As for my life, well, it fails miserably. Believe me when I say my life sucks. I honestly wish things would turn up for me.

But that's obviously not going to happen, so.

And don't you call me Little Miss Negative. For one, I am not little. I am extremely tall, thanks to my part avian DNA. And two, you should try living like me. You'd want to murder yourself within 5 minutes here.

I'm not kidding.

Oh crap. Here they come again.

Aw, shoot. Please skip my cage, please, please…

Have I ever mentioned my horrible luck?

The White Coats yank open my crate's door and roughly drag me out. I sadly glance at one of the cages next to mine before the nightmare starts again.

Told you so.

So, what do you think? Sorry it's so short, but more is coming soon. Oh, and I couldn't figure out how to fit Shay's description into the story so I'm just going to tell you now. She has light brown hair that is beachy wavey and goes a few inches past her shoulders. She has green eyes. And she is a fighter, kinda like Max.
