Hey guys! I'm back, just like I said. Hope you like this story! It's a Fax story, duh, & I think it's coming on pretty good (: Before I forget [like I did last time] here is my first DISCLAIMER:
MAXIMUM RIDE IS NOT MINE. MAXIMUM RIDE IS NOT MINE. MAXIMUM RIDE IS NOT MINE. Got it? Good (:
Chapter 1: Before my Life Changed so Drastically
"Iggy is waaaaay hotter than Grant," Nudge said without even glancing at me.
Why would she glance at me, you ask?
Because this is my brother she's talking about.
"Excuse me? Did you really just say that?"
How could she even think Iggy was hot? I mean, well, maybe he was (God, kill me for just admitting that) but there was no way he was hotter than the Grant Laurie.
"Frankly, she's right. Iggy got even hotter during the summer," Angel said, shrugging.
My two best friends thought my brother was hotter than UI high's primo boy? This could bring awkwardness.
"Oh, don't get your panties in a bunch, Max. It's not like we're hitting on him or anything," Angel said, rolling her eyes.
"Right," Nudge testified, maybe a second too late.
I gave her a look, but her face gave away nothing as she skillfully avoided my eyes.
Don't get me wrong, I love my brother. He's just a little bit of a player. You know, one girl per week and all that usually comes with the stereotype. I've tried to make him change with no success. Though he's pretty cool, sometimes being a year older can get to his head. Ah, well.
"Okay then, this is getting uncomfortable for me, so change of subject. That, and the fact that Iggy could be listening in on the whole conversation."
They threw a nervous glance at my bedroom door, and nodded solemnly.
"So… tomorrow's the big day…" Nudge said, her voice a little squeaky. This effectively left the topic of Iggy behind us; we were more than a little anxious about the first day of school.
"First day of sophomore year." Angel, being the most confident of us three, managed to say without her voice trembling. "So are you hoping for new eye candy?" she continued.
At this I rolled my eyes; typical of them to be thinking about boys.
"You are so boy crazy, Ange. Didn't you just break up with Carter last week?" I stated.
"Yeah, but you know what they say."
"What?"
"I dunno."
Nudge ignored me as I laughed at Angel.
"Duh I'm hoping, but there are still some of the oldies who are worth looking at…"
She trailed off, and I hoped with all there was to hope for that she was not talking about my "hot" strawberry blonde, blue-eyed brother.
"Maybe you'll find someone this year, Maxie!" Nudge exclaimed.
"Guys, you know I don't do boyfriends. Literally and figuratively."
This earned me a half-hearted laugh from them.
I knew they were worried, but I was perfectly fine without a boy in my life. It wasn't like I was boy-phobic either. I mean, occasionally I would go on a date or two. I'd just never let things get serious. I didn't want any guy problems, like Nudge and Angel were constantly having. Plus, it seemed like such a heavy weight to carry on your shoulders, having a boyfriend.
I was not about to let a boy put me down.
First chappie. Hope you liked. Give me your input, it always motivates me (:
