Hey guys! So I haven't wrote anything in a while :S So this is my first story in ages :D It's summer hols, so I thought, why not? Hope you like! XD

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own Maximum Ride!

"Gah!" I muttered clutching my nervous stomach. Yeah. You heard right. The Max Ride is nervous. And why? I'm just starting my new school...

I sat in my Volvo ( :) courtesy of my immensely rich scientist dad) still holding the wheel. At my old school in Colorado I was happy at all the heads that I turned in this car, but now? Now I wanted to die. Yeah, turn heads I did, but I could practically feel the weight of everyone's stares at the 'New Girl'. I gulped, wishing I had tinted windows or could shrink as I turned the car off. It was winter and term had stared since September. So it was 2 months into my sophomore year. Yey! (Note the sarcasm :( ) I swallowed stepping out of my car and self consciously adjusted my bag strap and positioned my hair like a shield in from everyone's gawking eyes.

The floor was icy and I thought it would be just my luck to slip over on my first day. Luckily, though, I didn't and I began the pain-staking walk towards the school office, staring at my scruffy converse toes to ignore the looks. Occasionally, I would peer through my lashes and curtain of blondish-brown hair to see the school. It had a glass front and steps up to the front. I looked at the office door which was designed with the school motto 'Education is for Life, Life is Education'. Urgh!"Sure it is." I muttered tugging on the handle.

"What?" I let go of the door and it slammed shut.

I looked over to see a tall, mocha coloured girl with pretty brown eyes and a cute skirt on.

"N-nothing!" I blurted out suddenly feeling out of place and tom-boyish in my black skinny jeans and scruffy t-shirt. It was my favourite shirt that I had gotten from a Paramore concert and it was fading from how many times I had worn it. I had on my jacket on to cover myself from the cold but had it partially zipped so you could see the name.

"Oh my gawsh!" she drawled out. " I haven't seen you around before! You must be the new girl! God! OMG! I know who you are! You're Ella's sister! Oh my gawsh! She is so ,like, totally my best friend ever! OMG! Max? It's Max, isn't it! Hi Max! Gosh you're sisters right, you do look nothin' like her! Shit! I don't mean that in a bad way! You're really pretty like she said! Aw crap! Sorry! I'm sorry! I talk too much! I mean...I'm Nudge! Well my real name is Monique but everyone calls me Nudge! Oh and OMG! You should totally sit with us in lunch! Yeah!"

God this girl had a motor-mouth and she was practically panting at the end of that speech! My sister Ella was a freshman and she'd told me all about this 'Nudge'. She'd offered to give up her ride with Nudge and her parents today to accompany me but I refused. Now I 'kinda wished I hadn't. Damn these nerves! So you're probably all confused now about how Ella has a best friend here at this freak place already but this is because she's always gone to this High school. I stayed in Colorado with my father after the divorce but Ella had gone with my mom (a vetinary surgeon named Valencia Martinez) here to Boston Massachusetts. "Yeah that's right." I said awkwardly looking at her. Suddenly, the bell rang and saved me from Nudge's awe-filled gaze :S .This place was so strange! "Well, ciao for now!" She said brightly before whipping her ringing cell phone out and saying "Yo Ella, where did you go off to? Never mind, guess who I just met!" and walking away. I opened the door again but was abruptly nearly knocked off my feet. A strong pair of arms stopped from landing on my butt. I looked up (and I mean way up, god I hate being 5"7!) into a pair of dark chocolaty eyes. My sarcastic words I was just going to snap died on my lips as took in all of the guy who I just crashed into. God, he was HOT! Wth, Max? I stopped checking him out and blushed furiously as he smirked, knowing what I was doing. Suddenly, the floor seemed veeery interesting. *Insert embarrassed cough*

"You must be Max. I'm Nick Houston, but you can call me Fang... I'm showing you round once you get your timetable." the guy ( 'Fang'! Wth!) muttered dying to laugh at me and what I was just doing. Oh joy. Guess I'm talk of the school and now talking to an ignorant jerk. And embarrassingly he was showing me round all today. God, I hate school...

So guys that was my first chapter! Sorry! I know I got some of the American terms and things wrong, but hey I'm English! So don't kill me! Maybe you should just ...review! hint hint! x
