Aftermath: A Maximum Ride Novel

A/N: Hey Guys. This is my first fanfic so please, don't be harsh! ;) Anyway, I know you hate it when a whole chapter is an author's note, so I will not do that. Plus, if you have any suggestions, I will listen to them but please PM them to me so that they are not spoiled! (By the way, Max, Fang, and Iggy are 19. Nudge is 16, Ella is 19, Gazzy is 14, and Angel is 12) Italics: Voice Bold: Angel's thought communication. YES FAXNESS

Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story except for the setting idea. The rest belongs to James Patterson.

Chapter 1: Finally Done

Max's Point of View

I must admit, it feels good to be normal. (Well almost normal, you know, with the whole flying bird kid stuff but you know what I mean.) No on the run, being chased by the School, eating out of dumpsters, et cetera. But the flock wanted to be WAY too normal for my comfort zone. They wanted to go to school.

"Max please? Almost all of us are teenagers and the total amount of school time we've had in our ENTIRE lives, is probably no more than a month!" Nudge begged. And what is wrong with that? Is what I wanted to say, but I thought on it for a second. Maybe she was right. It couldn't possibly hurt. I looked at Fang for help. "You do whatever you feel is right. But I would be kinda bummed if you said no." Thanks Fang. That was basically saying, 'Well, I want to go, but I'll dump he pressure on you just for the heck of it. Dammit Fang! "I guess we could try. But-" I was interrupted by cheers of joy all around me. I spoke louder, "But, if I catch any sign of danger or the school, we are out of there. Understand?" The Flock said yes all together and cheered more. I stomped upstairs to my room. I had a bad feeling about this.

Chapter 2: So this is normal? Huh. Not bad.

Max's Point of View

I got dressed for school. Fang, Iggy, Ella, and I are going to be attending UCLA (University of California, LA) I have all my classes with Fang, Ella, and Iggy, so that we can be close by in case of Emergency. Nudge and Gazzy, will be going to Artesia High School, and Angel will be attending Mark Twain Middle School.

I got dressed for school. I put on skinny jeans that hug my curves, and a light blue tank top. I heard a light knock at the door, and Nudge entered, with Angel tagging along behind her. "Can we please do your makeup?" Nudge asked. "And hair?" Angel added. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." They squealed with joy, and pushed me into the bathroom.

Fang's Point of View

I came downstairs for breakfast, and wondered what was taking her so long. Iggy was in the kitchen making waffles, and Nudge, Angel, and Max walked in the kitchen. Nudge looked happy, Angel looked pleased, and Max looked- beautiful…

After we ate breakfast, Max called quick meeting in the living room. "Okay, we may have taken down the school, but just to be safe, I am deciding that we need to change our fake school names. The schools that we are going to already know our names. Okay, Fang, you are going to be Jake. Iggy, you are Tyler, Ella, you're Ella. Nudge, you are Stephanie. Angel, you are Ashley. Gaz, you are Luke. I'm always going to be Max for various reasons. Alright, Let's move out!" Max said to them. She moved to her yellow Porsche (courtesy of Max's mom) And I got on his black motorcycle. Ella and Iggy got into Ella's silver convertible. Nudge, Gazzy and Angel flew to school partially and landed a few blocks away from there, to be extra safe.

Max's Point of View

We got to school and I was hurrying down the hall to get to my first class. I wasn't looking at where I was going and I tripped over something. I looked up, and came face to face with Lissa.

DUN DUN DUN!
