Hey, this is my first story so sorry if it's bad! Please review if you want me to continue.

DISCLAIMER- I don't own Maximum Ride or the characters.


Chapter 1- Max POV

My name is Maximum Ride, Max for short. I am 16. I'm average looking with brown hair that has blond streaks in it and brown eyes. I have a little sister named Ella who is 14. We have different dads so we don't look alike. She looks like our mom. They are both tan with dark brown hair. Ella and I are complete opposites. She is more of a girly-girl while I prefer a pony- tail and converse to straightened hair and ballet flats. We disagree a lot and today is the perfect example. We are moving from New York City to a small city in Arizona. I hate the idea of leaving the big city and my friends while Ella hasn't stopped blabbing about how excited she is. My mom is a vet and got an offer she apparently couldn't turn down which brings us to present day: moving day.

"Girls this is our new house!" my mom exclaimed pulling up to a pretty big house. Ella hopped out of the car as soon as it was stopped and my mom followed. I however decided to remain in the car for as long as possible to annoy my mom. Apparently it worked because my mom yelled at me to stop wallowing in self pity and come inside to help unpacking. I sighed and got out, only to run into someone.

"I am sooo sorry!" the girl squealed. She looked about Ella's age with mocha skin and dark hair. "My mom said we had new neighbors and I couldn't wait to meet you guys! I have an older brother named Fang, but he looks nothing like me cause I'm adopted. He's 16 and I'm 15. And then there's our other neighbors: Iggy is 16 too and Gazzy is 10 and Angel is 6. What's your name? Do you have siblings…" suddenly a hand appeared over her mouth cutting her off. I just stared at her with wide eyes. Wow that girl could talk.

"Um, my name is Maximum, but you can call me Max. And yes I have a sister Ella who is 15."

"Cool name. Sorry about my talking, this is my brother Fang." She said gesturing to the boy who had covered her mouth. Wow he's hot, I thought. He was taller than me, and I'm pretty tall. He had black hair that was kind of long. He had deep brown eyes and olive skin. He nodded hello.

"No offense but what's with all the weird names?" I asked after I stopped staring at Fang.

" Max isn't all that normal either." Fang said smirking.

"They're nick -names." Nudge explained. "Wow Fang, you talked! He doesn't usually talk to people except us but he doesn't even talk to us that much. He must like you! OMG you guys should date, you would be so cute together!"

"Nudge, chill." Fang said giving me a half smile. I mean while was blushing, something I rarely do. "You want to hang with us tonight? We are having some other friends over to watch movies." He asked.

"I'll have to ask my mom but I'm sure she'll be thrilled I already made some friends. Is it ok if Ella comes too?" I asked. This whole moving thing is already looking better.

"Sure! Maybe we can give you a make over, not that you need one cause you're already really pretty but…" Fang cut Nudge off again.

"We'll let you get unpacked, see you tonight." Fang said. Nudge waved good-bye then they walk to across the street to their house. I was actually looking forward to tonight, especially seeing Fang. "Snap out of it Max, you don't obsess over boys." I told myself walking into the new house.
