Summary: "I didn't know you had a sister." "Yeah, well, we don't talk about her much." I rolled my eyes and snorted. "I'm kinda the weird one of the family." Too bad they didn't know how weird I really was.
DISCLAIMER! I don't own Maximum Ride nor The Covenant.
Chapter 2
Caleb's POV
I peered over the cliff that over looked the party at Dell's and sighed.
"Aw, come on Caleb. Now isn't the time to mope around. Just because you're Ascending soon doesn't mean that you can act like it's the end of the world," Pogue, my best friend, said giving me a reassuring smile.
"Yeah, Caleb. Pogue's right. Besides, how do you expect to get girls if you act all pout-y and depressed," Tyler, Baby Boy, added also smiling.
'They just don't understand.' "Yeah, thanks guys. Just kinda freaked, you know?" "Yeah." They really didn't know what it was like, not yet at least, but I gave them points for trying.
"What's up fellas?" questioned Reid as he entered.
"Where were you? I thought I was supposed to give you a lift?" Asked Tyler.
Reid smirked. "Had things to do, people to see. How's the party?" I rolled my eyes typical Reid and his cryptic answers.
Pogue answered. "Don't know, just got here." Crap, Reid's got that look in his eyes.
"Well, hell boys, let's drop in,"Reid said glancing back at us and then jumping off the cliff. Fuck, he needs to stop Using like that!
"Shit yeah!" Tyler said and then fell backwards off the peak spread eagle. I looked at his night black eyes and smiling face as he fell.
"Tyler!" Of all people, Tyler should know better than to follow Reid's example.
Pogue looked over the cliff. 'Don't do it man.' "Come on, Caleb. It's not like it's gonna kill us." He glanced at me over his shoulder. "Yet." And then, also careened off the edge. Sigh. They just don't understand how dangerous Using is especially when we're all so close to Ascending.
I tapped into my Power and reluctantly walked off the cliff. I felt the simultaneous rush of my Power running through my body and the stomach plummeting feeling of free falling course through my system. I landed safely on the ground, joined my fellow brothers and walked to the party at Dell's.
Walking over the hill to the party I saw lots of teens, many drunk and most dancing. I scanned the crowd looking for Kate's brunette hair. I looked over at Pogue who was doing the same thing I was, and from the look in his eye and the smile on his face, I'll bet that he found Kate. I noticed that something was off about Pogue though. I looked over in Kate's direction and saw that she was talking avidly to some girl that looked a lot like her, well at least her face did. But besides that the two girls were polar opposites. Kate was brunette, average height and extremely welcoming and warm. Whereas, this girl was tall, abnormally so, she's almost as tall as me, with dirty blond hair and gave off a rebellious and sarcastic air. Pogue got to the girls first.
"Hey, babe," he said, missing her mouth and kissing her cheek. 'Why would Kate turn her head away from Pogue?' I looked over at the other girl. She looked confused and very angry.
"Hey!" Kate replied. Kate turned to us. "Guys, this is my older sister Max, she just transferred here!" 'I never knew she had a sister.' Judging by the look Pogue was giving Kate, he never knew about her sister either. 'This'll be interesting.'
"Max, this is my boyfriend-" "Pogue, Pogue Parry," Pogue interrupted, a little upset about being rejected earlier. Kate rolled her eyes, "Anyways, this is Tyler Simms, Reid-" "Garwin, Reid Garwin. Pleased to meet you." I rolled my eyes. Every time he sees a pretty girl, the first he does is flirt with her.
"I wish I could say the same thing," Max said, speaking for the first time, and ignored Reid's offered hand. 'Wow, that's a first.'
"Hi, I'm Caleb Danvers and thank you for deflating his head some." "Anytime," she replied smirking.
"Hey, Caleb." Sigh. Kira, the girl that I'd least wanted to see right now. "How was your summer?" she asked, completely interrupting my conversation with Max. I looked at Max, she seemed angry again.
"Excuse you," Max said. Kira turned to Max, smiled sweetly at her and looked Max up and down, disapproving of her windbreaker-shorts-combat boots combination. "I'm Kira." She stuck out her hand. "Max," Max squeezed Kira's hand and Kira grimaced. "Oh, right, Kate's sister. Tell me, how does one go about getting into Spencer's from a public school?" I rolled my eyes. Kira always was a snob and conceded. Max bristled and opened her mouth to snap at Kira.
"Why don't you give it a rest Kira," I interjected. "Why don't you give it a rest Danvers," Aaron said coming out of nowhere and eying me up and down. I saw Reid come up closer to my side.
I stared him in the eye. "I don't want any trouble, Aaron." "I'm sure you don't," Aaron glaring back at me.
"You losers make me want to puke," said Aaron's lackey.
Reid stepped up, ready for a fight. 'Typical'. "Is that right-" "Hey, hey. Let it go," I stopped Reid.
"Yeah. I think you owe my friend an apology," Aaron said, looking so self-assured.
"Actually, Kira owes Max the apology," Kate said, before I could even utter a word. Both Kira and Aaron turned to Kate. "Is that so?" Aaron said approaching Kate. Pogue tensed and went to step in front of Kate, but Max beat him to it. 'How can she walk so fast? I didn't even see her move.'
Max glared frozen daggers at Aaron and Aaron backed up a little. "Hey, this is about me. So, why don't you back the hell off of my sister's case before you get your ass kicked?" Max quirked her eyebrow at Aaron and motioned him away with her head. Aaron smirked at Max, fear completely evaporated, and walked closer to her. I felt a strange emotion creep up my body and into my throat as Aaron walked closer and closer to Max. I had to fight the urge to scream at him to back the hell off of Max. 'What's going on? I just met her.' Max and Aaron stood toe-to-toe with one another.
"You know, most guys would find your cold attitude repulsive, but I find it incredibly sexy." 'That's a horrible pick-up line.' Aaron walked closer to Max, obviously missing the 'Piss-off' vibe that she was sending off in waves around her. I heard Kate curse under her breath.
"Really?" Max replied, actually getting closer to Aaron. I looked Max's face and she was smiling seductively at Aaron. 'What the hell?' Looking around, I, apparently, wasn't the only one was shocked.
"Yeah, really." Aaron smiled, lust filling his eyes.
"Max, don't," Kate pleaded.
"It's okay, sis. I'm a big girl. I can handle myself. Besides, I want to show Aaron just how sexy I can be," Max said before she turned to a smirking Aaron and punched him in the face, hard. 'Oh, shit!' Aaron was sent to the ground, but quickly got back up to punch Max back. I stepped up to defend Max, but some new guy beat me to it.
"Hey," the guy said laughing and grabbing Aaron's fist. "Don't you know your not supposed to hit girls?" Aaron just stared at the guy growing more angry, until Aaron's friend puked on him, that is. Everyone moved as far away from Aaron and his barfing friend as possible. I looked at Reid laughing. 'Of course.'
"Guys, uh guys. Dylan just called. He said he saw three cop cars headed this way on old Dell road." 'Crap. It's time to go.' Everyone started running from the party and further into the woods. I looked behind me.
"Do you need a ride?" Kate answered from between Pogue and Max, "No, Max gave us a ride here." "Hey, I could use a lift, I'm Chase by the way," the new guy, Chase said.
"Sure. No problem. I'm Kate and this is my sister Max," Kate said. Both Pogue and Max looked irritated at that idea.
"Thanks." He smiled at Max, even though it was Kate who answered.
"Hey," I said diverting his attention. "Nice going back there. Caleb."
"Chase. I thought I was gonna have to fight him or something. His friend's puking sure came at an opportune time," Chase said looking towards me.
"Didn't it though," Reid laughed. We reached the cars and separated. Me and the other Sons piled into Baby Boy's Hummer and Max, Kate and Chase got into Max's dark purple Challenger. 'Hot car.'
"Kate's sister's hot," Reid said. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, but too bad she's only got eyes for Caleb though," Pogue teased. I smiled at Pogue.
"We'll see about that."
I heard a groan of frustration from Max's car.
"Need any help?" Reid hollered over me. "Reid do-" "No thanks, I got it!" Max yelled back. I smirked at Reid. "Piss off!" he shouted, obviously irritated at being shot down, again.
We all watched as Max popped her hood and leaned over here engine looking at what was wrong. 'Thank you Max for saying no to Reid.' I couldn't help but stare at Max's mile long and toned legs. My body began to burn up when my eyes started to wonder further up Max's legs and landed on her jean shorts. 'This is ridiculous. One girl shouldn't be stirring up so many feelings in me.'
"Kate start the car!" Max yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts. I could tell that Reid was having similar, if not worse, thoughts that I was having about Max. The engine roared to life.
"See you at school!" Kate yelled as Max tore out of the forest.
I could hear the sirens. "We gotta go."
Reid shoved Tyler, "Move over Baby Boy, I'm driving."
"But, it's my car," Tyler protested but still moved anyways.
"Too bad!" And then we speed away with the cops following us.
So, here's Chapter 2! Big thanks to all pf you who put my story on their alert list! I really appreciate it! Anyways, I changed the POV of this chapter, but the next chapter will definitely be a Max chapter. I just felt that people needed to see how the boys would react to Max, through a Sons' eyes, so yeah. Please Review so that I can know how my story is (Even if it's just like 'Update' or something)! Thank you!
