Here 'ya go for the 2nd chap.
It's REALLLY LONG!
Chapter 2
Max's POV
I let the water cascade down me, washing the sleepiness away.
Massaging shampoo in my scalp, I thought about what had happened when I was eavesdropping.
Just friggen ask her out, dude.
It kept on running through my head.
It was obviously for some other girl that Fang must've saw when we went shopping for clothes before, or maybe while we were split up he met someone. Or, probably someone else from our school that he could have met while walking around to 'get his barrings'. (He decided to take a walk right when we got to the house. Don't ask.)
I quickly rinsed my head and rubbed in conditioner. I kept on thinking about what they could have possibly been talking about, I couldn't really focus on anything else, which meant Angel could have totally been reading my mind the whole time.
I would have know it if I would have been a bit more saner. But, of course, I am never sane. Just insane.
Ha. I heard every single thing.
I gritted my teeth.
It's not nice to read other people's minds, I reminded her. Just go eat breakfast and pretend you were sleeping like you always do.
I felt her smirk.
Well, she must've sent her emotions to me to show how 'sneaky' she really was.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed my fluffy towel and wrapped it around my wet, soaking body.
Taking my change of clothes, I put them on and brushed through my hair.
I looked in the mirror and almost fell backward.
I haven't really seen my face so... so... clean before.
Yeah, laugh if you want.
I walked out of the bathroom and went to the door that led to my room.
I felt like laying in my bed and letting everything sink in. I was tired from stress.
I was going to have homework again. I was going to have to go through school and having no friends. I was going to have to go to just go to plain old school again.
All over.
My life was about to become 10 times worse.
---
I didn't know how long I had been sleeping.
Yes, I had fallen asleep while thinking about my future await of school.
I sat up groggily and got off my ruffled bed.
I stared at myself in the mirror for a long time.
"How am I going to fit in?" I muttered to myself, rubbing my head, which had suddenly started to hurt.
"You don't have to." someone said.
I freaking jumped 5 feet in the air.
"Don't do that!" I yelled, and Fang smirked.
"It's going to be okay." he said, and brought me into a hug.
"No it's not." I replied back, looking up at him. "It's going to be a disaster, and you know it."
He looked me in the eye and actually smiled.
"Am I truly that bad at lying?"
I smiled back, "I've known you a while. I can tell."
He hugged me tighter.
"It's going to be okay. We'll make it through."
This moment was interrupted by a squeal and the front door opening, followed by greetings of, 'how are you?' and 'We're here!'.
"They're here." I said, untangling myself from Fang's arms and heading for the door.
He stopped me before I could open it.
"Just relax a little." he said, touching the handle and pulling it open. "You'll live life much easier."
Then he walked out.
Leaving me there, thinking, whaaa..??
----
I headed down the stairs to greet our guests.
Let's put it at that.
"Hey!" I said as I entered the kitchen where Dr.Martinez, well, my mom, was sitting with Ella and Jeb.
Yeah, I still call her Dr. Martinez, deal.
Ella got up from her spot to hug me.
"I'm so glad to see you!" she exclaimed. "Come help me unpack, I need to tell you something," she said in a rushed whisper.
I nodded and lead her up the stairs.
What could she possibly want to tell me???
Ella's POV
This house was sooo big!
How could Jeb afford this thing?
I followed Max up the stairs, one flight, and down a hallway where she showed me her room.
It was all blue and absolutely CUTE!
(Don't tell her I said that)
I smiled.
"I love your house!"
She rolled her eyes.
"It's temporary." she grumbled.
I took my small bag and threw it on her bed. I had several more in the car outside, but this bag was the easiest (and lightest) one to carry.
I guess she was waiting for the secret to be revealed.
I took a deep breath.
"Mom and Jeb are going to tell all of you this at dinner, but you need to hear it now." I began, and she raised her eyebrows. "You guys are staying here because..." I paused.
Maybe I shouldn't tell her this.
I mean, she didn't need anymore stress, she had enough already.
But her eyes told that I had to continue NOW, or else I'm bird food.
"You're staying here because ITEX is hoping that regular school will break the Flock up again." I blurted.
"WHAT?!" she exclaimed.
Oh boy.
Max's POV
"WHAT?!" I exclaimed. "Why would they do that?!"
Ella took a step back.
"I don't know," she confessed. "They think the pressure will do you good."
By then, I wasn't even listening to her.
I was pacing up and down my room.
"It's a trap, they'll be Erasers and Flyboys, maybe even Omega. We need plans..." I trailed off and Ella was against the door.
Sudden fury went through me.
"Why wouldn't you guys tell me sooner?!" I yelled.
"We didn't know!" Ella rushed.
By then, I had heard enough.
I went over to the window and opened it wide.
"Be back in two hours." I said to her, and jumped out and unfurled my wings.
Ella's POV
I shouldn't have told her.
I watched her jump out the window, then Fang open the door.
"Did she just leave?" he asked me, heading towards the window as well.
"Yep."
How he knew about it, I had no clue at all.
He jumped out it too, and I sighed.
This was not going to be a good experience.
Bahahahaha
Review so I write faster!
