Chapter 2: Max Gets Another Chance

Fang POV

When the doorbell rang the Martinez family rushed to get it. I smirked. They were all pretty nervous to meet the new addition to their family. I didn't blame them. Only Dr. Martinez had met Maximum and even she didn't know much about her. The Martinez family came back to the family room with a two new people.

It was a lady probably in her thirties and a girl around my age. "Oh, Valencia, it's great to see you again." The woman exclaimed. "The pleasure is all mine Christine." Dr. M replied. "Okay everyone this is Maximum Ride." Christine announced.

"No, it's Bon Jovi." The girl said sarcastically. "But call me Max not Maximum." She then said. Max was … beautiful. She had light brown hair with natural blond streaks that fell like a glossy waterfall over her shoulder. She was about 5"6 and had brown eyes that were sharp and at attention. It seemed as if it had a twinkle behind them. She was tan and was wearing a neon yellow tee shirt with the sleeves rolled up and it had splatters of neon orange all over. She wore black shorts even though it was November. But it was November in Arizona, so it was still hot.

Then Dr. M introduced us. "That's Jeff the oldest and same age as you but he likes to be called Iggy. The twins are Ella and Monique. They are both 14 and Monique likes to be called Nudge. Oh and our two dogs are Magnolia and Akila." As each person was introduced you could tell if you looked that Max was sizing up each of them and their personalities. "Oh, and the other three kids are the next door neighbors. That's Angelica but she likes to be called Angel." Angel then went up to Max and said, "Hi I'm so glad that you're going to be my next door neighbor. Maybe we can be best friends!" Max smiled and replied, "It's definitely possible." Angel then smiled really big and went to sit next to me. "Her brothers are Gazzy or Gasman and Nick or known as Fang who is the same age as you." Gazzy smiled and I nodded.

"Would you like something to eat? I have home made chocolate chip cookies and Iggy made blueberry muffins and fruit salad." Dr. Martinez asked.

"Sounds great but do any of them have nuts and peanuts because I'm severely allergic to therm." Max asked.

"Thankfully no but we will definitely have to remember that." Dr. M said.

"Well I got to go. I have to look into another case. Bye everyone and Max, remember I'm here, okay?" Christine said as she headed out the door. "Max, okay?" she asked again when Max didn't answer.

"Okay, bye Christine." Max quietly said. Christine left but not before she shot Max a worried glance that Iggy and I saw. We looked at each other in question. Why would Christine remind Max she was there for her? Max saw it. She gave us a meaningful look that turned into a glare as if she was daring us to ask about what Christine said.

I was brought back from my thoughts when Nudge went into one of her infamous rants. "So Max, how did you get the name Maximum? I mean no offense but it's a pretty interesting name. I love my name Monique. It sort of rhymes with unique and I am so unique. I love to shop. Do you? It would be so cool if all of us could shop together. Or even just Ella, you, and I. That would be awesome. We could buy so many clothes. I love clothes shopping and shoe shopping too. Any type of shopping is fun really. We could shop for cookies! Yum. I love chocolate chip cookies but I like mom's cookies the best. Iggy is a really good cook actually. His muffins are delish don't you think?" Nudge was then interrupted by Ella's hand over her mouth.

"As you can see, my twin sister earned her nickname Nudge because you have to nudge her to make her stop talking." Ella told Max.

"The story of how I got my name is for another time. No offense taken. I like your name too. I strongly dislike clothes shopping. Shopping all together would be, um, I guess interesting. Yes, your mom's, I mean, our mom's cookies are the best chocolate chip cookies I ever had and Iggy's muffins are indeed delish." Max calmly replied as if she was talking about the weather.

Everyone stared at Max in disbelief. Not even Ella her twin could answer all the questions Nudge asked in one of her rants. I usually just zone out. Nudge for once was speechless.

"What? Do I have chocolate on my teeth? Oh I get it, you guys are just gaping at my good looks. Take a picture it'll last longer." Max told all of us after none of us were talking for a while.

Dr. Martinez snapped out of the trance and said, "Sorry about that. Do you want to see your room and unpack? We can get more furniture and decorations for your room along with some school supplies if you need it tomorrow. Your room is sort of empty because we thought it would be a good idea if you picked out the stuff by yourself incase we bought things you didn't like."

"Sounds great. Thanks." Max replied.

"Follow us, we will show you your room." Iggy said while all of us climbed up the stairs.
