Betrayal and Befriend

Chapter 1 BETRAYAL

Max POV

Did you ever feel alone when someone didn't hang out with you? Or did your best friend turn their back on you and left you to fend for yourself? That's how I felt. Except it's even worse. My whole family, the only people I have ever trusted in my life, has left me in the world of Itex and worse. I also remember it like just yesterday when I was abandoned. Now I have a new life, but I will never forget them.

* Flashback *

"Max" Fang called to me when I was sitting at the edge of the cave just looking out. All traces of love and friendliness were gone from his voice.

"Yeah?" I asked, getting worried since the rest of the flock looked as if they wanted to jump off a cliff (and not open their wings duh!).

"We have to talk to you" he said, his voice getting harsher and the kids were putting a brave face on. The only person that was not here, was Angel and Total who looked like they were angry at the flock and disbelieving, while looking at me with empathy.

"Ok?" I was really confused.

"The Flock has decided to kick you out. We don't want a traitor like you here telling us what to do and leading us to danger." My baby Gazzy said that! I was about to break down cryng, but I didn't want the Flock to see me weak when I go.

"I am not a traitor! I always put you guys first for everything, like if one of you got hurt, I was the first to help you. When you guys wanted food, I was the one to lead you to it. Most importantly, when you wanted a family, I was there to comfort you. But if you think I am a traitor, then I don't want to live with you guys." I said as I took my bag and dived out of the cave.

"ANGEL! COME BACK HERE!" I heard someone scream. Then I heard 2 pairs of wings flapping behind me and found Angel and Total following. I turned around and burst out crying with them following as I landed near a river.

"It's okay Max, we believe you. I tried to convince them but they didn't believe me so were going to follow you! When we see them again were going to kick their butts!" Angel said, trying to cheer me up as she sat in my lap letting me stroke her curls.

*Flashback over *

Now here Angel and I are today with our new and improved flock living the perfect lives that all teenagers want. Not.

"MAX GET YOUR LAZY ASS DOWN HERE!" Crystal yelled at the top of her lungs. May I point out that she cursed in front of kids!

"CRYS DON'T CURSE IN FRONT OF THE KIDS!" I screamed back loud enough to travel through the big mansion I call a house

"WELL IF YOU CAME DOWN ON TIME FOR SCHOOL I WOULDN'T HAVE TO!" She said back.

"ENOUGH! I CAN'T TAKE YOUR CONSTANT BICKERING" Shine yelled back.

Yes, she did say school. I, Maximum Ride is going to a high school in California along with her flock. I have started 2 years ago when I defeated Itex with my family. Now I am a top student ( even though I don't pay attention) in my class and according to Spark I am 'popular'.

I hoped into my bright red Porsche with leather seats, and told everyone to get in, except for us who can drive; cough cough, Crystal, Shine, Shade, and me who each has their own car.

I dropped off all the younger kids and said bye to them, then walked over to the high school with the rest of us high schoolers in my flock, which is home to the jocks, preps, emos, Goths, skaters, geeks, my group, and many more…

This is my first story EVER so please review and comment! I also really want criticism since I am new and I want to improve a lot! I know this is really short, but the others will be longer I kind of promise heh heh ok review! (I know that a lot of people already have that idea, but I love reading these kind of things so I decided to write it!)
