Max P.O.V.
A/N The first chapter was all Max's thoughts. I promise you this one will contain more interaction with the outside world.
Chapter 2
When I entered through the front door, everyone started starring at me. Really staring at me. I haven't been stared at for a very long time since the Flock got separated. I mean, I don't really use my wings anymore, only twice a week when I stretch them out so as to not let the muscles relax too much.
Okay, I'm tall for my age, and adding the fact that all these kids here were two freaking years younger than me, you can imagine how much I stand out. Which is, in fact, a lot.
I took a seat at the back of the class, Ella at my right. This was going to be one long day. Number one, I had no Fang to give sarcastic comments to, number two, people keep staring at me and it's freaking me out even more than Omega did when he popped his shoulder back in place.
The teacher walked into the room. "Good morning, class," she greeted. I tried slouching but I still got noticed. Why do bird kids have to be tall? "Today we have two new students with us." She gestured in our direction. Oh crap. All eyes turned to us. Me, Max the weirdo, and Ella, the normal one.
"The tall one's Max," the teacher said. Everybody clapped their hands politely. "The other one's Ella." I can tell you, she received a louder round of applause than I did. Because I'm Max, and she's Ella.
"Today, our school is launching a new program called 'The Pen Pal'. Later, I will be giving out forms for you to fill in your particulars if you want to join. This is not compulsory, but we encourage you to participate," the teacher said, then handed out a stack of paper to a girl and she handed them out.
Even I got one too:
Pen Name: The Mutant (how imaginative can I get?)
Address: 6 Laureate Gardens
About yourself: I'm a freak who completely stands out in public.
About whom you want as a pen pal: Someone like me. (is there even anyone in this school with wings?)
Then I submitted it.
It turned out that there really was a person who was a freak and stands out in public. His or her Pen name is 'Fangs'. It reminds me of Fang. Is it some weird coincidence or what? I mean, 'Fangs'? Which person in his or her right mind would call himself or herself 'Fangs'?
It is stated in the letter to me that I'm supposed to be the one to initiate the conversation. Now how bad can it get?
The answer is: very.
A/N Okay.Done. Uh, I don't mean the story. The chapter.
