Chapter One: school

Max's Pov

I saw big black wings about a foot from my face. I ransacked my brain, but couldn't come up with a face that matched the wings. I thought of Angel, my baby. She was seven years old and an avian hybrid. She had dark brown wings about twelve feet across from tip to tip. I thought of Gazzy (Gasman), who was seven and Angel's brother. They were the only one of the flock who were acutely related. Gazzy also had the same twelve foot wings as Angel. I thought of Iggy, he was fourteen and had fifteen foot wings that were pure white with black splotches. Then I thought of Nudge, she was six years old and had grayish-white wings. None of the flock matched these dark black wings in front of me. Yet I could tell that whoever they belonged to, was an avian hybrid, just like the flock.

I quickly sat up in my bed. I looked around my room in a daze. Just a dream, it was only a dream. Maybe not max, remember, you can see the future. Great I thought, a freaky dream, school, and now my voice was back.

For those of you who haven't bothered to keep up with the books I'm writing than you don't know what I'm talking about, and are probably thinking "What voice?" well, you see the flock and I are avian hybrids as I mentioned earlier. It's not just that we have bird D.N.A. grafted into our bodies, but that we can fly. Our bones are built different than humans because of the bird D.N.A., we have a body like a bird. We have quicker reflexes and we also have air sacs. We have lugs and all that stuff humans have but more. We are basically non-existent in the human mind and we have NO schooling. You can call us avian hybrids but we tend to prefer Avian American. But along with all that amazing bird stuff we also have special powers for example all of us can breathe underwater and Angel can read and control minds. Well I guess all I have to say about Gazzy is that the kid has a problem with his digestive system. Iggy is blind and, sadly doesn't have any powers. Nudge can be called a magnet since she has the ability to pull metal close to her; she also has the power to touch any imamate object and knows about anything that ever happened around it. And me, I have hyper drive which means I can fly extra fast and I have a voice inside my head.

Oh, be quiet! I snapped at the voice. Of course, it didn't answer. I got out of bed a stumbled over to the closet. I took out a pair of skinny blue jeans and a red tube top. When I had my clothes I went over to the shower and laid my clothes down beside the sink. I turned on the shower nozzle and let the water heat up. I slowly climbed into the shower and let the water relax me mussels. I let the memory of my dream be slowly washed away by the water.

I got out of the bath and quickly dressed into my clothes. I put on black heels for shoes and glanced at the alarm clock which had just gone off, it was 6:45! i had woken up early. I combed my hair and then used a curling iron to put it in ringlets. I ran down the stairs and swooped into the kitchen. Iggy was there making about twelve dozen pancakes, as usual. The flock and I were staying at my mom's house in Arizona; we were having a great time, just the seven of us. Dr.M, Ella, Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge, Angel, and I. By the way I'm Max, but you can call me Maximum Ride. I glanced at Iggy who hadn't noticed me yet and said"Hey Iggy, are the rest of the flock up?"

"I think so," was his only reply. I guess he still wasn't too thrilled about school. Then the rest of the flock came running down the stairs.

"Hey guys," I said. There came a course of hey, max's.

After we had eaten breakfast we all ran to the front door and jumped into the air as we unfurled our wings, we were off.

I groaned and got out of my bed as the alarm clock went off. My family had just moved to Arizona and i hated the heat. Today was my first day of school.

When I was done getting ready my mom drove me to the school and I climed out of the car. I went into the school office and the assient told me my guide was to be there shortly. I sat, and awaited the guide I didn't yet know was very much like myself.

Sorry for the short chapter! Please review!
