a/n: this is based after the Final Warning (Maximum Ride) and after Twilight (twilight saga) this my first fanfic, so don't diss it to bad. If u are gunna diss it, then do more of a "what can I do better?"

Chapter 1: School

My name is Maximum Ride, but my Flock just calls me Max. If you don't recognize my name, it's not because you don't know me, its just that my name has died down in the last three years. For those of you who do remember me, good for you. My Flock and I haven't made a public appearance in three years. And wow have we changed.

Angel's hair has become blonder than before and she's gotten maybe half a foot or more taller. Her skins become paler, and she is more mature.

The Gasman has definitely changed. He looks sort of like a young version of Iggy, only with a dirtier blond of hair. But he still has enough gas to empty a room full of military officers.

Nudge's hair has straitened out some, making it more wavy than curly. Her wings have become darker, and it seems her motor mouth has gotten worse.

Iggy has gotten taller, if that's even possible. His hair has become so pale that it almost looks white. Although it does look funny on him because his skin got darker, so I guess they even out.

Fang has changed probably the most. He cut his hair short, short as in regular guy hair length. (but it's still in his eyes) He, like Iggy, has gotten taller. His skin has become closer to tan rather than olive toned, but you could still see the olivness still there. ( is that even a word)

As for me, my hair has become more of a light hazel color, or maybe a mix of Jeb's hair and Dr. Martinez's hair. My skin looks a bit darker and I've changed from my 5'8 to a 5'11. Yippy!

After we "disappeared" from humanity, we built a house up on a mountain near Forks, Washington (a small town). Thankfully the only way to access our house is by flight. Dr. Martinez and Jeb helped build it on one condition; Jeb has to take care of us. At first none of us trusted this, so we had Angel scan Jeb's mind (he took off the thing that was keeping Angel from reading his mind). After Angel gave us the O.K. we accepted the offer. It was just like before. Before the saving the world, before Jeb's disappearance, before our lives were complicated. At least, that's what I thought.

***

"SCHOOL!" I shouted. Thank gosh we were up on a mountain where no one can hear us.

"Yes Maximum, that's what I said," Jeb only winced when I screamed.

"But-"

"No buts Max, it's been a while since the world has seen you and I don't think that going out into it again will affect you. No one will remember you."

"What ever happened to 'live a normal life'?"

"That's exactly what I'm trying to give you. Normal children go to school."

I couldn't say anything to that because it was true. Normal kids do go to normal school. When I didn't retort back, Jeb went on.

"You will be starting tomorrow."

"TOMORROW!" I screamed again, and this time, the whole Flock rushed into the room.

"What about tomorrow?" Angel asked innocently.

"Sweetie… how do you feel about going to school?" I was hoping she would say something along the lines of 'why would I want to go to school' but that's not how it went.

Her eyes widened so big that the sun would look like a tiny speck, "That would be great Max!"

The rest of the younger kids joined in on Angel's excitement.

"This will be AWESOME!" Gazzy punched the air when he said 'awesome'.

"Oh my gosh Max! That would be so great. I hate feeling dumb. It really stinks. But if we go to school then we won't be so stupid. Plus, we get to make friends. Not that I don't think you guys are my friends, but you're more like my family than friends. The friends I would make would be ones without wings! You know, normal people, and they would think I was normal. Not that I don't like my wings, I love them, but-," thank goodness Iggy put his hand over her mouth.

"We don't mind," Iggy summed up.

I looked to Fang as my last resort. He shrugged and made a grunt noise. Thank you mister caveman. I thought to myself.

"Well, Max," Jeb had us all sit down, "I guess you all are going to school tomorrow."

I folded my arms and muttered, "Whatever"

"Will we be using our real names?" Nudge asked.

"Yes, Nudge. We'll just walk in there and go 'hi my name is the gasman' nope. That wont draw any attention to us," such a nice thing to say Iggy. Did you notice that sarcasm?

Nudge just stuck her tongue out at him. Like he could see that. Did you catch that sarcasm?

"Actually, you will be using your real names," Jeb said nonchalantly. This caught everyone's attention, even mine.

"Not like Nudge or the Gasman though. These are your real, real names."

We all waited for him to say them. He first looked at Nudge, "Monique," then at Angel, "Sophia," then at Gazzy, "Christopher," Gazzy pouted at the name. I ruffled his hair and let Jeb continue. He looked at Iggy, "James, but already knew that." Then he looked at Fang, "Brian," then at me, "your still Max." Okay, so I had to smile at that.

"The girls are the Martinezs and the boys are the Batchelders." I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Your mother wanted some credit and authority over all of you. What can I say, she sees all of you as her own," he answered my silent question.

"Do you we have a story background?" why did I ask that? Of course we do.

"Yes Max, you do. The story is that you all were adopted by Dr. Martinez and I when you were all very young. We have raised you ever since." Simple story, easy to remember… I liked it. Now all I had to do was wait for the horrible tomorrow.

Bella P.O.V

Damn this feels so good. I felt Edwards's lips against mine. Cold, but like I cared. They felt so good. Of course, like life, it can end in the blink of an eye.

"Bella," Edward whispered in my ear.

"Why did you have to break it," I made a pouting face, "I was enjoying myself."

"Sorry love, I have to go hunting."

"Oh," I suddenly felt guilty.

"Plus, you need some sleep. Tomorrow is that first day of senior year." He gave me one last peck on the lips before jumping out the window.

He was right, like always, tomorrow was the first day of school. I clenched my fist, which means it will be my birth day soon. I didn't like that thought.

End
