This Fanfiction is based on the book Girl VS. Boy by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout. I own nothing. All characters From Maximum Ride are owned by James Patterson. This will be the only disclaimer.

I do own the characters Sara, Erika/Jade, Skylar, and any other characters I end up adding later. :D

Boys VS Girls

Max

I walked into the gym and found a seat while waiting for the Monday morning assembly to start. My two friends, Erika and Skylar, were not here yet. It was the first Monday of my junior year, and I was hoping I would get noticed by someone who would sweep me off my feet, be my prince etc etc. But right now it wasn't looking like it would happen anytime soon.

I watched as familiar faces filed into the seats around me. One of the few people that caught my eye was Sara, the head cheerleader, prom queen, most popular person in school – but also the school slut. My friends and I believe that that's the reason she's so popular and why all the guys want to be with her.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding when my friends walked through the double doors. They stood looking around, probably trying to find me. I stuck out – I was wearing my fire engine red dress with a thick black belt around my waist, small black flats and my caramel hair flowing down my back.

As they started towards me my view was blocked by a half coved stomach. I looked up to see Sara looking down at me.

"Yes?" I asked, wondering what she was doing. The only thing she did involving me was to laugh and mock me. I could tell she was holding back laughter.

"What are you wearing?" she asked, finally letting the laughter out. See, I'm not intimidated by her. Or anyone really.

"Actual clothes. Clothes that cover up something. Instead of something that has less fabric then a string bikini." All of her friends looked at me, shocked by my answer. I heard laughing behind me and turned around to see where it was coming from. What I saw shocked me. It was Nick and his friends. They were the other popular group. The guys. The football team. And they were laughing at my joke. Wow. I snapped from my thoughts as Sara's mind apparently returned.

"WHAT!!" she screeched. I turned around and leaned back in my chair.

"Oh, you heard me." I smirked and then pulled out a book prepared to completely ignore her when she started yelling at me.

"Excuse me?" the principal said from the podium. "Please take your seats." Sara and her posse stomped away to the back of the gym as Erika and Skylar scurried into the empty seats behind me, determined not to get detention before the day started.

"WHAT was that about?!" Skylar whisper-screamed after Principal Burns started talking.

"Oh nothing," I said, smirking. "Sara was just wondering about my outfit." They both looked at me, dumbstruck. Sklyar was one of those people that were care-free and easy-going. If you weren't careful though, her temper might be the only thing you remember of her. If you did the slightest thing, especially to one of her friends, she would pretty much kill you if it was bad enough. Erika (But all her friends call her Jade) was nice and understanding, but she would mess you up if you did something to tick her off. That was something in common with all of my friends and I: we won't hesitate to fight back or yell at you.

"Did she do something to you?" Jade said, concerned.

"I think she got the worst of it," I told them both. The Principal finished her long speech about obeying the rules and all that crap. She began calling names to hand out schedules and locker assignments.

A bunch of names later, I heard "Maximum Ride." I stood and walked down the bleachers heading towards the podium in the middle if the basketball courts. Principal Burns handed me a lime green piece of paper and a white half sheet. I looked at my locker number and the combo. 12-10-05. That wasn't so hard to remember. I walked to locker number 415 and started putting in my combination. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end and I turned around so fast that I probably looked like a blur. Standing there leaning against the locker next to mine was Nick.

"Hi Nick, what do you need?" I asked politely. I had no idea where that came from.

"Fang," he said.

"What?"

"Call me Fang."

"Uhhh okay. So what do you need Fang?" I watched him, waiting for the answer.

"I just wanted to say that that was awesome the way you stood up to Sara. She can be…." he trailed off, trying to find the right word.

"Thanks," I told him and put my books into my new locker. He didn't say anything else – he just walked away towards he friends. "Jerk," I muttered.

"MAX!" I jumped when I heard how close the screaming was. I turned to see Jade and Skylar behind me.

"Gosh. Do you think you could have screamed any louder?" I asked, digging through my locker.

"Why were you talking to freakin' Nick?" Skylar whisper yelled again. She does that a lot.

"Um. He came up to me and started talking about how he thought it was cool how I stood up to Sara," I told them putting some books away.

"Yeah yeah what else?" Jade asked eagerly.

"Then he walked away and you screamed in my ear making me partly deaf."

"Heh heh," Jade laughed nervously.

"Well what class do you have after homeroom?" I asked them, trying to change the topic. Luckily it worked.

"We both have Math. What do you have?"

I glanced at the pink (I think it's pink) paper in my hand. I let out a deep sigh before I told them, "I have English first." They gave me a sad look before they left to find their own locker.

After I finished putting all my school supplies and books in my own locker, I headed off to find my new English class.
