HEY!

OK, so first things first. I must thank my awesome FF Bestie/co-writer AmiRide because without her there would be no story! So all our great thanks to her! You da bomb Ami!

Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride or any of the MR characters, and neither does Ami, although that would be so cool...

What?! A girl can dream! Don't look at me like that!

ANYWAY

Let's get on with the story, shall we?

You know when they told you that high school is this awesome new experience, where you have all these freedoms and cool new friends and the whole four years is just one huge party?

Well, those people sit on a throne of lies. (AN: haha that quote is from the movie Elf. good movie.)

In reality, high school is an awful place where you're constantly surrounded by morons and freaks who can't keep control of themselves (head out of the gutter people!). It's even worse when you're trying to live up to your twin's "amazing" rep. Yep, I'm stuck in a hell hole, surrounded by idiots, and totally invisible. Could it get any worse? Well, since this is me were talking about here, then yes, yes it could.

Let this beith a line!

I looked at the clock. Only thirty more minutes until the next class period, then lunch, then another class period, and then I was home, free. Literally. Of course, then I'd just have to come back here tomorrow, but I try not to think that far ahead in life. Another minute ticked by. Stupid clock was so slow. It was teasing me on purpose. I groaned inwardly, turned my head away from the clock, and fell asleep on my desk.

"Maya!" I grunted, hoping the person, who was nudging me, would get the message: piss off.

"Maya, you idiot, get up!"

"Five more minutes," I groaned.

The person sighed, "Fine, I didn't want to do this but..."

I felt something wet and slimy in my ear. I shrieked and shot up trying to push away Sam's hand...only to fall out of my desk, and right on my face.

Sam stood over me, his hands on his hips, one eyebrow all the way up to his hairline.

"You know, next time you decide to fall asleep in class, you might want to consider setting an alarm."

I glared daggers at him, making him smirk. Well, not exactly the reaction I was hoping for but then again, this was Sam we were talking about here. He's not exactly like other teenagers boys.

But still, he was the best friend a girl could ask for.

My eyes floated to the clock just behind Sam's head. 10:52 am. Two minutes until my next class.

I shot off the floor, and out the door, like a bullet, yelling curses the entire way to my next class.

Finally, it was lunch time. I hadn't eaten breakfast this morning, and was starving by now. I took the rather large brown paper bag out of my locker, and walked to the school cafeteria, hearing whispers of "there goes Max's sister," and "isn't that Max's twin?" and "Max is so much hotter than her sister, to bad Max is taken," along the way. Yup, around here, I'm referred to as "The Great Maximum Ride's Sister." Not even twin, just "sister". I'm as invisible as it gets. As I entered the lunchroom, I spotted the Queen Bee herself, the great, all powerful, beautiful, Maximum Ride...standing n the lunch line with her super popular boyfriend, Fang Martinez. Oh God, he was so hot. I watched as he leaned over and kissed her, full on the mouth, and she kissed him back. They separated, smiling at each other, and carried their lunch trays walked over to sit with their oh-so-popular friends, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. I sighed as a spike of sadness, and longing, was jammed into my heart. My eyes drifted over the lunch room. I saw Sam, waving his arms around in such a way that he looked a lot like a chicken, trying to get my attention. I smiled a little, rolled my eyes at how stupid he looked, and made my way over to the table he was sitting at.

"Well, it's about time," he said clearly annoyed as I started to sit down, "I was starting to think that you went blind or something."

He turned around, and looked behind him, to see what I was staring at.

"Or maybe you were just too busy drooling to see me," he said as we watched Fang as he turned his head to say something, probably mushy and cute, to Max.

I snapped my head back to glare at Sam. "I was not drooling!" It was then that I felt something wet on my chin. Quickly, I lifted my arm to my face and wiped away the saliva that was coming from my mouth.

"Yeah, right," Sam said smirking.

I kicked his shin under the table. His eyes widened and he sucked in a breath. Now it was my turn to smirk, and his to glare. For the rest of the lunch period we talked about random stuff like the AP math homework, squirrels, and whether or not Linkin Park was a good band or not. (AN: I LOVE LINKIN PARK!)

Soon lunch ended and the other juniors were clearing out of the cafeteria, carrying Sam and I with them.

LINE*LINE*LINE*LINE*LINE*LINE*LINE*LINE*LINE*LINE*LINE*LINE

School was over before I knew it, and I was on my way home, walking of course. Max had taken the car, probably to go somewhere with her oh-so-fabulous friends. So I was walking home on my own. Only about a half a mile to go. Sigh. I looked down at my beat-up gray checked VANS, and sighed again. I had walked about another ten feet when I heard a low rumbling coming from behind me. I stopped walking, and listened. The rumbling got louder, and it had started to sound oddly like...footsteps. Like a stampede of footsteps.

I turned around to see a horde of kids, boys and girls alike, charging at me at full speed. They were screaming excitedly, and there was dust clouds flowing up from their feet. My eyes widened. This couldn't be happening, this was impossible. I did the only thing I could think of. I whipped around, and sprinted in the direction of my house.

So, there you go. Let this be the first chappie.

Like it? Hate it?

REVIEW AND TELL US WHAT YOU THINK!

BTW it's Ami's turn, so she will be writing the next chapter.

And she has a policy of No-Next-Chapter-Or-New-Updates-Until-There-Has-Been-A-Curtain-Amount-Of-Reviews-Posted.

And, quite frankly, I agree, because it's like, why should we spend time writing new stuff if nobody bothers to read it?

So anyway, let's start with 5 reviews, and then Ami will update, okay?

Love Yall!
