Hey guys this is Aurie and this is my very first story so hope you like it! ;)

Max POV

I hopped into the car into the backseat next to my sister, Ella. And I watched as my best friend, my boyfriend Dylan, and my home get smaller and smaller. I didn't want to leave California and neither did my sister. My mom had to for work even though she's a veterinarian. We were moving to Miami, Florida. It really wasn't anything like California but whatever.

We finally got to our new big house. My mom said she used to live in the neighborhood when she was a kid. I walked upstairs to my new room and was disgusted at what a saw. The walls were a yellowish green color and the carpet was white, which I'm guessing is supposed to be white. I frowned and the sight. The good part was that I had my own bathroom and a window seat. But I didn't necessarily have my OWN bathroom. Ella's room also connected to the bathroom. I thought back to the colors of the walls. I decided I would paint the top a baby blue and the bottom turquoise with a little white strip in the middle separating the two colors. "Maaaaaax!" I heard Ella screech. "Can you paint my room?!" Ugh sisters are so annoying, especially if their younger but still in the same grade. "Yea Ells!" I called back irritated. She told me to do something like my idea for my room but girly and with different colors. I decided to do the top peach and coat it with sparkles and the bottom a sunset pinkish color with zebra or cheetah print, I would let her decide. After all I am an amazing artist if I do say so myself.

At the store my and Ella parted away from my mom while she look for cooking supplies. Me and Ella raced to the designing section and of course, yours truly won! I picked out a WHITE carpet and a little turquoise rug with the paint cans we needed, I also chose to beanbags that were silver and a baby blue. Ella picked out a little pink carpet with white swirls on it, she also picked to beanbags that were pink and white. Once we got back home we darted to my room and set newspaper all over the ground to keep from spilling paint. I got to work on painting the baby blue on the top and Ella painted the bottom with the turquoise color, I got the top of course because, I'm like, 5 inches taller than her. We laughed and joked and talked the whole time until we were finished. Once we finished Ella got her room ready for painting. and I got to work on the designs on the bottom of my walls. I decided to splatter some of the baby blue on the bottom to make it look really cool and pop! We finished Ella's room in no time, of course I was the one who had to do her designs. it took all of 5 minutes to do the sparkles but it took 2 hours to do the zebra print. Once done I ran to my own room and started to get it together. With the help from my mom and sister I tore the carpet out easily and but the new white one in. I put my dresser and bed in and my new little rug in too. I put out all my trophies and my wonderful track stuff out! "Maximum Ride dinner is ready!" My mom called from downstairs. "Coming mom!" I said while running down the stairs. "Maximum Maria Ride, what did I say about running down the stairs! You could fall and break your face!" My Mother said. I smirked at her " Yes, I would be a TRAGIC if I broke this beautiful face of mine." I teased. My Mom smacked my playfully on my arm. We had my moms AMAZING spaghetti for dinner but I had no idea HOW she managed to make it, but I didn't care, it was here in front of my face so might as well enjoy it. We ate in silence, Which say a good thing for me cause there was nothing to talk about. After dinner we decided to get ready for school cause it was our first day tomorrow.

The next morning I got up and stumbled downstairs to smell bacon and waffles. I smiled to the amazing smell, "Eat up Max," Mom said excitedly "You have a big day ahead of yourself!" I groaned at the thought of school. I quickly ate breakfast and then rushed up stairs to get dressed. It was 7:24, almost time to leave. I put on my normal clothes: Gray skinny jeans, a black v-neck short sleeve shirt, and a gray sweatshirt, then I put on my black converse. I hurried myself to the bathroom and put my hair into a ponytail with my side bangs hangout out of the side, curse my side bangs sometimes. I brushed my teeth grabbed my backpack and screamed for Ella to hurry up. Ugh, we can NOT be late for our first day of school. I ran into the bathroom to find Ella hurrying to put on her makeup. I rolled my eyes and told her to hurry up with the darn makeup. It was already 7:36! Once she finished she grabbed her pink sparkly backpack and I grabbed her and we ran screaming bye mom while sprinting to school. I was yards ahead of Ella because I'm in track and she's in volleyball. We got to school on time which was at 7:47, the perfect amount of time to open my locker and find my classroom. I unlocked my locker with no trouble at all. I grabbed my binder and walked to class. Exactly when I walked into the classroom the bell rang. "Ahhh, you must be Max! I'm Miss Brummel, your homeroom teacher!" She smiled brightly, she look really young at least 26. "Yep that's me, I'm Max!" I smiled. I heard a bunch of murmurs like:

"Isn't that a boy name...?"

"Cool a new girl..."

"She's kinda pretty..."

"So Max, tell us a little about yourself." Said Miss Brummel kindly. "Ok ummmm Alright..." I said not reassured, "Ummm, I'm Maximum Ride but please call me Max, and I'm from Los Angeles, California. I have a younger sister and she's in this grade also... And..." My voice trailed off, "That's pretty much it.." I said embarrassed for some reason. "That's a cool name, Maximum Ride." Someone called from the back. "Umm Thanks, I guess." I grinned a little. "You can sit in the only empty seat in the back Max." Said Miss Brummel, giving a welcoming smile. I peered in the back to see that a boy was in the back wearing al black. I sat down next to him and smiled. He look back with an emotionless face and said "Hi, I'm Nick Miller, but people call me Fang." He grinned at his statement. I just nodded and turned to just stare off into space. Than the girl in front of me tuned to fang and batted her eyelashes. "Hi Fangy!" She said all excitedly, Fang just rolled his eyes. "What do you want Lissa..." He said very annoyed. She pouted "Aww, Fangy, don't be mean to your girlfriend!" She exclaimed trying to act all sad. WTF was this?! "Your not my girlfriend, never have and never will." I snorted at that comment. Lissa glared at me as if I just kicked her puppy. "What are you laughing at New Girl!" She spat at me "You can stay away from Fang, and don't act like your a hotshot!" I just snorted and rolled my eyes. "OK, first of all Lissa," I spat saying her name, "I'm not the one acting like a hotshot, your the one whose batting their as at Fang and probably making every guy in school bow down to you like your some queen. And second of all don't tell me what to do." I hissed at her. Fang smirked at snorted. She glared at both of us and said "Watch your back New girl, you just made the wrong enemy!" She spat acting like it was a great comeback. "What are you gonna do?" I asked like it was a Challenge. "You gonna smack me with you little purse." I smirked. She glared at me one more time and turned around to face her friend. Fang and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. The bell rang short after our little chat with Lissa. I looked at my schedule and it said I had History with Mrs. Hallion. N- Fang peered over my shoulder and looked at my schedule. "I have History next, too, I'll walk you there." He said trying to help. I looked at him weirdly like he just asked me to jump off a cliff. "Umm, if that's ok with you." He added quickly noticing my expression. Good choice, Fang I thought. "Sure, why not." I said even though I hated having to get help. We walked silently to the classroom and apparently I had all my classes with him.

Finally, it was time for lunch, Fang invited me to sit with his group of friends. He said people called them the winged group because they were really fast. That was ironic to me... but you'll fund that out soon enough.

Hehe mysterious pause! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm so evil! Ok let's continue shall we?

I sat down next to Fang and a dazed boy with strawberry blonde hair and very light blue eyes. "Whose sitting next to me?" He asked feeling my arms. He looked confused. "She doesn't feel familiar." I sat there confused just staring at him. Fang just looked calm as ever. "Hey, guys!" Fang said, "This is Max, she's new, everyone introduce themselves." Everyone smiled and said boy sitting next to me was James but said to call him Iggy and he's blind. Apparently I am too for not noticing. A chocolate skin colored girl was Monique but said to call her Nudge and she went on and on about how she got the name, she was very chattery. A boy with spikey blond hair said his name was Zeypher but to call him Gazzy. Wow did everyone have nicknames here? There were to more girls named Autumn but to call her Aurie. And Alyssa was the last girl to introduce herself. We all joked and laughed the whole time and I found out that Gazzy could mimick voices perfectly. The rest of they school day was boring so you wouldn't wanna hear about it.

I got home and flopped on the couch and got a snack and started on my homework. I was so uncomfortable that I let out my 14 foot wings. "Maximum Maria Ride, what did I say about letting yours wings out and not begin carful. I didn't know what she was talking about until I saw the smashed lamp on the ground. "Oops sorry Mom!" I said shyly. Ella ran into the house and gasped. Oh and yea you heard me right... MY WINGS!

DUN DUN DUUUUUN! What's Ella gonna say huh?! And OOOOOO crazy ending! Sorry it was short! I'll be writing everyday on weekdays for sure and maybe late at night on the weekends if I feel like writing! LOL! Pleeeeaaase keep reading! Stay tuned!
