New Lives: Pt1 (Re-Written)

This is a complete re-write of the story New Lives. After reading it through I thought that it was pretty crap so now I'm writing it again. It'll have the same plot line – Flock goes to school, Max sees Fang kissing Lissa, Max goes on date with Sam, Fang gets peeved, Max follows Fang and Lissa to the movies with Sam, Max races home, Max breaks up with Sam over phone, Fang breaks up with Lissa. You know what happened b4 but it'll be written differently.

Disclaimer: The day that every dress and skirt in this world is destroyed is the day that I own Maximum Ride.

Chapter 1: New School.

Anne dropped us off at the school gates. "Have fun guys. I'll pick you up at 3 o'clock okay. Meet me here." I mock saluted her as we got out of the car. Anne started to talk again but I slammed the car door and continued walking towards through the crowds of people towards the front office. I had been against this from the beginning.

I hadn't wanted to come here. I hadn't wanted to have to wear stupid plaid skirts and white blouses. I hadn't wanted to be lugging around a school bag full of books all day. I hadn't wanted to sit through 6 hours of teachers dribble on about un-necessary crap. But After being bombarded with 'Bambi Eyes' and the pleas of the flock I finally gave in. How ever unwilling I was I still gave in.

Now I was standing in front of a white desk with a woman who looked in her mid-30s sitting behind it typing up a report on the computer in front of her. I cleared my throat to get her attention and she looked up from the computer. "What can I do for you dear?" I plastered a fake smile on my face and stopped my self from replying with a snide remark. "We're the new kids." She looked us all over quickly. "Oh, yes. You're staying with Ms. Walker aren't you? Well here, if you could just fill out these forms then I can just file that information away."

Anne hadn't told us that we had forms to fill out but fine what ever. I handed the flock their forms to fill out and they grabbed pens from their backpacks. All we had to do was fill in the basic information; name, age, address, phone number, parents names. I was just wondering what to put down for my parents names when Angel walked up to me, "Max, I need help."

"Sure baby, what is it?" She handed me her forms and I scanned quickly down the information she had written down. When I came to, " Mother's Name:" and "Father's Name " my breath caught in my throat. Angel had written down Maxine Ride as her mother and Fang Ride as her Father. I put the paper down on the table in front of me and pulled Angel into my lap and gave her a tight hug. She really thinks of Fang and Me that way? I thought to myself.

"Yeah Max, I do. You and Fang have taken care of me since I was a baby. To me you're my parents." Fang looked up from whatever he was writing and looked over to me with a look that clearly said, "What's she talking about?" I mouthed 'Tell you later,' and he nodded. "Now what did you need help with?" I asked Angel picking up her form from the table. "Well it's asking what my parents' occupation is. Can I really write down 'Saving the World' or is that to detailed?" I smiled at her.

She was so innocent. "Just write down that your parents are missionaries." She nodded her head and slid off my lap heading back to her seat next to Gazzy. I left my parents' names and occupation spots blank. I had no parents. I used to think of Jeb as my father but when we found out that he was working for the school he whole time we thought that he was dead. Well that whole, "I wish that Jeb was my real father," thing was kinda' shot to hell.

"Okay are you guys done?" There was a chorus of yes's as the flock handed me their paper, which I handed to the receptionist. She nodded and handed me, Iggy, Fang and mine's schedules and a map of the school. She pointed out where Angel, Gazzy and Nudges classes where and I said my thanks before walking back to the Flock. I was about to ask if the younger three wanted us older three to walk them to class when Angel's teacher turned up. "You're Ariel, right?" She asked. She seemed pretty nice and didn't seem like she was going to turn into an Eraser at any second.

Angel nodded her head making her blonde curls bounce. Soon the Gasman's teacher came and not long after was Nudge's. As soon as we were sure that the younger three were headed to their classes we headed to ours. Fang and I had dropped Iggy off at his first class and we were now heading to ours.

As we were turning the corner on our way to English class this brown haired guy came barrelling around the corner running straight into me making me land hard on my ass. "Shit, my bad." He held his hand in front of me to help me up. I grabbed hold of it and he pulled me to my feet.

"Sorry 'bout that. I'm Sam," He smiled kindly at me and I smiled back. "Max. Uh, I'd better be getting to class." This kid seemed nice enough, cute, nice smile. "Oh, right. Hey, um, do you wanna', you know, sit with us at lunch?" He added as I turned to walk around the corner. I turned back to face him a little shocked, "Uh, yeah, sure." I said getting over my initial shock. "Cool, cya then." I nodded my head and turned back to Fang who was glaring holes in the back of Sam's head.

I whacked his arm to get his attention, "Yo, Fnick. We have class to get to." He brought his head around to look at me, "Are you really going to have lunch with this joker?" I was confused by his question but answered truthfully, "Yeah, so? He seemed nice, and if you're that worried then you can sit with us to."

"Yes, I'm sure that he'd be very pleased about that." Fang said to me. What was his problem? I didn't have time to ponder this as the bell rang signalling that the students should start to make their way to their classes. Oh de joy.

Okay chillins that's the first chapter. Tell me what you think. Did you like it? How good was it? You know the usual. Both good reviews and Flames are appreciated.
