Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Maximum Ride, Romeo & Juliet or any of the characters. That would be awesome though.


Max's P.O.V.

"Six weeks of detention?" Tess exclaimed as I told her. It was free period and I was filling her in on my visit to the principal's office.

"Yes, it was the only thing we agreed to." I replied.

"What about the play?" she questioned.

"It's only lunch detention and we don't have play practice at lunch." I replied. Tess didn't understand because the girl never had one detention in her life.

"Sad…but other than that I do wish I was you."

"Why would anyone want to be me?"

"Actually everyone wants to be you because you have to work with Fang Walker in the play."

"Actually it sucks! Ugh why do I want a freaking successful job anyways? You know what; I'll just work as a pizza person gaining minimum wage and crap." I said exasperated. She rolled her eyes and exclaimed.

"But Max, you're not Minimum Ride you are The Maximum Ride, you at least deserve the best."

"You're right Tess I-"then the bell rang, interrupting my sentence. I waved goodbye and got inside my school. As I got to the hall closest to my class I started to run down the hall to be early to play practice (To get candy! =D) when I bumped into someone.


Fang's P.O.V.

As soon as the bell rang I ran out of that classroom. It was English; I love English, my teacher is awesomely open but I can't be late for play practice I really want candy. In my house we barely had candy so a teacher offering candy is like Halloween every time you come early to the play. I kept running when Ride bumped into me.

"Ugh, really Walker." She groaned, I laughed.

"Hey it's not my fault I'm a chick magnet" Max started to pull away but her hair was stuck to the button of my shirt. Crap!

"Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow! Why me! What did I do to deserve this?" she put her hands to the button of my shirt and started working on it. I let her and stood still.

"Hmm you're hair smells like strawberry's" I said to annoy her, her hair really did though. Max finally untangled her hair and started running. I chased after her and got ahead, and since she is the most competitive person I know; she ran faster, but I kept getting ahead of her until we finally got to the auditorium.

"Ride, Walker! You're late, get in your places!" our teacher yelled. We immediately grabbed our scripts and got in place.

"Ok! Everyone get in place! Act 1 scene 1 Adam you're one of the servants you start us off as Samson. And action!"


"Gregory, o my word, we'll not carry coals"

"No for then we should be colliers."

"I mean, an we be choler, we'll draw"

"Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o' collar"


*An hour later*


Max's P.O.V.

"Ok that was off to a good start now you guys can go home" yes! We finally got scene done, and about 4 more scenes and we'll be to act 2. Ugh this is going to be forever until we finally perform. I got to my locker and grabbed my skate board and bolted off starting to head home, but on my way there I saw the ice-cream truck I drove up and the truck stop only to see my friend Dylan.

I've known Dylan since Middle school but now he goes to a different high school. He still lives near my house but I rarely see him.

"Hey Dylan! I didn't know you had a job." I said smiling. I looked at the menu to see what they had.

"Oh hey Max, I got this job a couple of weeks ago. You want ice-cream?" he asked politely.

"Yeah, a chocolate Oreo bar." I said, it was the yummiest one there.

"Ok…hmmm…oh there it is," I heard him mumble; "Here ya go! That'll be $1.20 please." I reached in my pocket and pulled out some loose change I had and a dollar.

"Aw! I only have $1.10!" I grunted.

"That's ok I think I have 10 cents with me somewhere." Dylan started searching his pockets.

"Thanks Dylan, are you sure that's alright?" I asked. I kind of hated it when people paid for me.

"I'm paying the extra 10 cents now here is the ice-cream." He handed me my ice cream bar then started his creepy music again.

"Okay bye Dylan!" I got back on my skateboard and rode home. When I got there is saw Ella watching TV and my mom making the kitchen smell good with her cooking. Yum!

"Oh sweetie how was the play?" she said chopping some vegetables and putting them in a pot.

"Oh just the usual like the other ones except Walker had to be in it this time." Normally we weren't in the same play because I tried to avoid him as well as I could. It didn't work out well this time. Considering we're now lovers.

"Nick Walker, oh he's in the play? That's wonderful! I can't wait to see you two perform." She said still chopping. I glared at her.

"No mom that's horrible because he's my worst enemy. I will do bad things to him…horrible things that, that devils child deserves." I told her truthfully. She thought we were friends just because I was friends with his sister.

"That doesn't sound like him, he has good grades and attendance records and he is a charming sweet young boy! His mother talks about how great he is all the time!" she told me. I sighed exasperatedly. She rolled her eyes at me.

"Yeah that's called bragging mom, it's annoying when people do it…no matter how nice Anne is."

"And what did my daughter do today that I can brag about?" she asked pointedly.

"Ha-ha! Funny story mom…um today your daughter got…six weeks of detention." I said quietly. But because my mom had such great hearing she yelled…

"What!"
