Moving Changes Lives

Max P.O.V

I hate hate hate this! I threw the basket ball hard at the hoop, it bounced off and flew back into my hands. By the way I'm Maximum but you can call me Max, I am 16, my mum was making me move house because she got a new job, I threw the ball half hearted and it went in with no problem.

"MAX!" I turned slowly and I was face to face with my sister, Ella. "what?" I said with deadly calm only because she had that evil grin on her face. "Its time to go, oh and I got the bigger room this time. You got the room in the basement." she gave me a big smile and we piled into my mums car. The ride to the train station was long. We were moving to Florida all the way from Montana, Great. I held my basket ball to my chest. "I know your sad Max, but I need to mov-" "I know" I cut her off.

I don't talk much. Apart from when I am mad then I cant stop. Anyway when we arrived and Ella was jumping up and down in her seat. I just stared out my window. I got out and pulled my hood up so that the kids playing in the street couldn't see my face. I turned around and bounced the basket ball a few times, suddenly a small girl wrapped her arms around me "I love you Fang" she said in a sweet voice and hugged me tighter.

I heard my mum and Ella laughing and I scowled "Angel!" I heard a boy shout across the road. The girl jumped back and looked at me "Fang?" I just looked at her, "OH I'm sorry, I thought you were my brother," "thanks," I said sarcasticly, The girl blushed and I smiled at her and out of the corner of my eye I saw Ella and my mum gaping at me. Well that shut them up.

"Well bye," and with that she ran over to the boy that called her name. So her name was angel... hmm. "OK then lets get to unpacking," turned around to face my new house. I scowled and went to my room.

I walked down to where Ella said my room was. When I walked in it was …...pink...YUK. "MUM," I screamed and walked up that stairs, "yes Max?" "why the hell is my room PINK!" "here, Max paint your room and stop shouting," my mum handed me two paint tins, one black and one sliver. I took the tins and walked down stairs.

3 hours later...

I sat on my bed and looked at my room. I had been aloud to paint it by myself, it look much better. The walls were painted black and I had spent 2 hours to put strips on them, but not normal strips, I dipped my brush in the tin and flicked it at the wall so it look so cool. I was proud of my work. It was another 3 hours to put my stuff away and when I was finally done it was ten... I missed dinner, great. I walked into the kitchen, I was glad my mum left some pizza out for me. I put the pizza into the microwave, suddenly there was a screaming from next door (shouting scream not scream, scream).

I looked out the window and saw a man walking fast to the car out side my house then was a woman shouting at him with bags of things and threw them at him. The man got into the car and drove off, the woman was crying and screaming after him. She turned and ran back into the house next door. "OK... that was weird,"I said to myself. I was still watching to see if anything else would happen when the microwave beeped making my jump. I grabbed a coke and my pizza and went back into my room.

When I was done I set my plate on my desk and crawled into bed.

The next morning...

I woke up to my alarm playing behind these hazel eyes by Kelly clarkson, its one of my fav songs. "Max get up, NOW," "OK!" My mum can be really annoying but I love her. I got out of my bed and pulled on my track suit. I walked up the stairs into the kitchen and grabbed an apple. Ella was on the phone (most likely to her best friend) so being the lovely sister I am, I crept up behind her when I was right to next to her ear when I shouted "BOO" "AHHHHHH MAX!" Ella jumped up and lunged at me. I dodged with ease and ran for the door.

"I'm going out mum" I shouted as I reached it. "OK but be back by 12. our neighbours are coming over,"

"all right," I flung the door open and ran out. Ella was right on my heels. Keep in mind that this was 7AM! And I just woke up. I started to pour on the speed and ran down the street. Ella gave up when I left the garden because she was still in her pyjamas. I kept up a steady pace until I reached a huge building that looked very modern. It had white walls and a blue sign that said `south-wind leisure centre` cool.

I walking in and it was very lush. It had big blue sofas and everything was shiny. It was much better than the one I had back in Arizona. I went to the front desk. "Hello how may I help you?" A women with short blond hair tied back asked. The badge that I guess had her name on it said `Mary`.

"hmm could you tell my what clubs you do here?" I asked in a bored tone. "well, we do swimming, diving, boxing, kick boxing, basketball, netball, hockey, and football," Mary said in a overly chirpy voice.

"Thanks," I replayed and walked off in the direction of the basketball court.

When I reached to court there was a few boys playing a game, so I slipped off my jacket and grabbed a ball. I bounced it a few times, testing it, I dribbled to the other side of the court where there was a free net, I play for a while then went home.
