Hey guess what! I'm not James Patterson! SO, I guess I don't own Maximum Ride! Darn...

Not everyone goes through life with hardships. Sadly mine don't come to an end. I am Maximum Ride

I don't remember everything, but when I was six I escaped from a place where me and other kids were experimented on. More specifically, me and these other five kids got wings. Yes, wings. Well we all escaped but we shortly had to leave each other. The only thing I remember after that was that me and this one guy were particularly close, I don't recall his name.

Before we left we had given each other gifts to remember-he gave me a long necklace with a smooth stone at the end. It has a F engraved on it. I'm guessing t's fr his name.

I gave him a knit bracelet. It was all black and had wings on it, well, for obvious reasons. I wear my necklace everyday, usually tucked under my shirt out of view.

We haven't seen each other since.

I am now 15 and starting my sophomore year. The only bad thing is, my foster parents were in a car accident a month ago.

It didnt end well. So bad that they couldn't identify them. So I took most of my stuff, food, any cash i could find, the tent we went camping in, and left. I didn't want to go to foster care again. I walked down the street to this little bridge that has woods and a small creek to the left, and some more woods and a lake to the right. Near the lake, I went a little ways into the woods and pitched the tent. This is where I will live for a while. I can handle it, I'm Maximum Ride.

Well, it's been a month and I'm flying to school. I land in the woods across the street and walk over. I have first period CAD with . I sit down and wait.

Then, this kid walks in. He's tall, has long brownish-black hair (looks more black than brown), wearing a black shirt with a faded blue zipped sweatshirt over top and jeans. I don't know why, but he just seems familiar.

The whole class period I couldn't shake this feeling that I had to go talk to him. Then the bell rang and my day went on.

I'm flying back home after volleyball. Yeah, I play on the JV volleyball team for my school. I am so exhausted. Yet again, I can't remember a time where I havent been exhausted. Oh well.

I land and I crawl in the tent. I go back out and quickly wash up in the lake with some shampoo I smuggled. Yes, I steal occasionally but I'm not that bad of a person. I just, have too. But I clean up, do my homework, and got to bed. The only thing I've eaten today was an apple. Living the good life, huh?

It's been a week into school or a little more and it's friday. I've finally decided to go talk to that kid in front of me.

I sat down next to him "Hey! Mind if I sit?" i try to sound somewhat cheery. Not really my style.

"No, go ahead." he replied. His voice is somewhat deep, but not too deep. It sounded nice. Wait, back on topic!

"My name's Maximum. Maximum Ride, but people call me Max. Call me Maximum and you will regret it." So much for cheery. I threw in a smirk to show him I'm not gonna kill him..yet. Just kidding!

"Fang." he gave a half smirk. It made me melt.

I did not just say that

"Fang?" what kind of name is that? Not that I don't like it.

"Well it's actually Will but everyone calls me Fang. And if you call me Will I can say the same to you for calling you Maximum." again the smirk.

"Am I supposed to be scared? Ha!" It was an instant click. He's different, I'm glad I went and talked to him. I just still can't shake this feeling that..that I just can't explain.

The next week flew by and we've gotten closer. I feel like I can tell him anything! Well except for the wings and me living in a tent. i don't think anyone can tell though. I have all my good clothes that I had when my foster parents were here, i still have an iPod and wi-fi from the people near me so i can text, and I can hide me feelings very well. At least i hope I can hide the last one...

Okay so this isn't my first fanfic but it's my first Maximum Ride. I just had been having this dream and I wanna write it out so I can expand on it. Hope you liked it!
