Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on in a while, but I recently started high school. Everything has been extremely discombobulated! Enough with excuses, though. I decided to start a new story. It will be another song fic! Hopefully you guys enjoy the story more than the others!

Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride, but I own the plot! Pretend this is at the beginning of every chapter! :)

Hello there, dear readers! The name is Maximum Ride, but if you call me that, well, let's just say, don't call me that. Everyone calls me Max. I'm 15 and I have a sister who's 14. Her name is Ella. She's starting high school this year, but we have to move to California. [Insert sad face here] I am extremely upset about it. I have to leave all of my friends, and I was just getting used to my high school. I'm kind of appreciative of moving, though. I need a new start, and you can't get better than moving across the country!

I lived in New York, but my mom, also known as Valencia, got an awesome offer for a building to start her own Veterinary Clinic. I am so proud that my mom is finally getting what she has wanted for years. She deserves every bit of it. Now that I'm done with the background information, we can get on with the story!

I'm sitting in my mom's car, staring out the window, and listening to my music. We recently made it to California, and let me tell you, it is everything how I pictured it! There are hotties that I know are full of themselves walking around without a shirt! Yeah, they're on a beach, but still! I probably have a better body than the latter of them!

After evaluating these narcissistic idiots, we finally arrived to our new home. It was set on the beach with reserved parts for our family. Yeah… did I mention we were rich? No? Well, we are. Once my grandmother died, we got all of the money in her bank account. My mom probably doesn't even have to work for the rest of her life, but she enjoys her job. Everyone wants a job they enjoy, so I don't blame her for continuing to work.

I ran my hand through my hair after looking over at the house. This is going to be a long 3 years! As soon as my mom parked I ran out of the car to claim my room. We don't want Ella to have a bigger room than me, do we? No, we don't. Turns out, I ran into a bunch of furniture because the house was already furnished. I guess my mom forgot to let me in on that tiny detail. I crumpled to the floor, writhing in pain as I stubbed my toe on the couch.

"Arrrgghh!", I screamed. Ella walked in, bags in hand, and laughed at me. "As soon as I can walk you are so dead!" She ran up the stairs to her room without another thought. I laughed internally. I love being the older sister. I can threaten her and she will never think twice before running away.

I stood up to check out my new room, flattening out my clothes from rolling on the ground. I should definitely be more careful. As I made my way up the stairs, I noticed a closed door with MAX written on the front. I walked in, and I set my stuff down. I had teal blue walls. Yes! I looked over to where my bed was with a black and white comforter. I sat on my bed, and I noticed the rest of my room. There was a miniature walk in closet in front of me, and my instruments behind me. I also had a bathroom to the left. Perfect! I never have to leave my room! Well, except for food, and school, and other social events… never mind.

I ran my hand through my hair again, which seems to be a habit of mine. I stood up and went out to my balcony. I got a view of the open ocean, which happens to be breathtakingly beautiful. To my left I saw a tree. It looks like I can climb it and get to the beach… or the neighbor's window, which, somehow, I doubt they would appreciate. I ran back inside and threw off all my clothes. You must be thinking, what the hell is she doing? Well, dear readers, I'm going to the beach, duh!

As soon as I was in my bathing suit, I ran to my balcony and grabbed onto the tree. It seems sturdy enough. I put my full weight on it without it cracking. I shrugged and continued to climb down. Unfortunately, life can't be that easy. As I was almost to the bottom, I felt a tug on the top half of my bikini. I knew that if I moved further, I would be topless in 2 seconds. I screamed for help, since I knew there was someone in the room across from mine at the neighbor's house. I heard halfhearted chuckling, but no one came to get me. Gosh! I hate neighbors, especially these rude nincompoops!

Ella finally came over to my balcony, in her bikini as well. As soon as she saw me she burst out laughing. My face turned red with anger as I screamed for her to help me. She climbed down the tree, much more gracefully, might I add. She followed me to the beach and I tackled her. I pinned her to the beautiful, white sand.

" If you say a word of this to anyone, I'll force this fist up your nose", I uttered through clenched teeth, as I held up my right hand in a tight ball. She slowly nodded as I got off of her. Good, I taught my sister well. I sank into the water as it embraced my body. I sighed, completely content. Maybe moving wasn't so bad.

I sat down at the dinner table with my hair still knotted from swimming earlier today. I ate my dinner quickly, as usual, occasionally brushing my hand through my hair to keep it out of the way. I thought about my new high school tomorrow. Would I have music class again? Would I make more friends? Or would I be the loner and outcast of the whole school? I thought about music some more, making some new lyrics in my head as I thought about my new life. Speaking of, I haven't sung in days. I miss it, a lot. I frowned as I got up to put my dishes in the sink. I slowly rinsed them and made my way back to my room. I collapsed in my bed, almost immediately falling asleep. But I couldn't.

As I laid there I realized that I'm not used to the random sounds of the ocean or the house, for that matter. I tend to wake up at the slightest of sounds if I'm not used to them. I sleep very lightly. I sat there for hours, waiting to get a wink of sleep. It finally came, and boy did it feel good.

So that's it for now. If I get 5 reviews, then I'll post the next chapter tomorrow. You guys decide!
