Hey thanks for reviewing. I hoped you guys like the last chapter.

Dear Journal,

Why am I keeping a journal? I really don't know. I guess since I don't talk much. I write more. Ever since that day, I don't talk much. I don't have

many friends either. They all hate that I don't talk anymore. I stopped playing guitar and singing. I don't know why I signed up for drama. I not a good

actor. Plus I don't say like more than one word. I feel like I can't tell anyone about that day. I never really smile anymore either. I guess I just don't like

to show emotion at all. So my goal for today is to smile a least once. Maybe even make a friend or get back my odd ones. Hey, its the first day of high

school anything could happen. Right. I hope so.

Nick

Nick pov

"Nick, come down here."

My aunt yelled up. I live with my aunt and little sister Angel. I had a nickname before that day but I don't like to go by it anymore. No one really

knows about that day but me and the police. I silently walked down the stairs. I grabbed a bowl of cereal and started to eat. Angel comes

bouncing down the stairs. She the only one I say more than one word to.

"Nick, are you really wearing that to school."

She may be 8 but she's already bossy and hates that I wear all black, all the time.

"What's wrong with it."

She looked disgusted.

"It's all black."

"So."

"Black is so....... well black."

I laughed.

"Well, I like black."

She smiled.

"I know you do."

My aunt came in then.

"Nick, do you want me to drive you to school?"

"Sure."

"Ok, then lets go."

She was use to the one word answers. I swallowed the rest of my cereal and put the bowl in the sink. I grabbed my bookbag and walked out to

the car.

"So are you excited for your first day of high school.'

"No."

She looked over at me.

"You have to be a little excited."

"Nope."

"Well, have fun."

I got out. First day of school. Well, high school. I walked slowly towards class. The bell rang. I started walking towards building K. I had just

walked inside when someone ran into me and fell down. I turned around to see these amazing blue eyes staring at me. I offered my hand to her.

"Thanks." she said when she was up.

"I'm Max and you are?"

"Fang."

Wow, did I just say that? I answered way to quickly. Why did I say Fang? I'm Nick now. I could get lost in those blue eyes. Wow, did I just

think that. I looked down.

"I'm looking for Reider. Do you know where that is?"

"Yeah."

I started walking. I didn't know if I could be friends with her or not. So one word answers it is. She kept talking.

"So, do you have Reider too?"

"Yeah."

She looked like she didn't like me just saying one word answers.

"Do you like saying one word answers."

I smiled a little. She could be a good friend. She's joking, I hope.

"Yep."

"What other classes do you have?"

I handed her my schedule. I hope I had some classes with her. She was different. I mean a good different. She seemed like a good friend. There I

go again with the friend thing. I don't need friends. Well, I wouldn't mind being friends with her. I guess.

"So we'll be seeing a lot of each other."

"Why?"

"We have all but one class together."

"Cool."

I have Max in all but one class. This is a good start of a year.

"Can you please say more than one word."

"No."

I know that is mean but its fun to make her mad. Even if I don't really know her. She would be fun to hang out with. I opened the door. The

teacher looked at us.

"Nice of you to join us, Nick, and who are you?"

Shoot, I told Max I was Fang now she probably thinks I'm a creeper or something. I'll have to explain which means talking more than one word.

This is not going to be good.

'Maximum Ride but call me Max."

Maximum Ride that an awesome name. It way better than Nick. That's how she got the name Max, I guess.

"So your the new student.'

She looked unsure.

"I guess."

"You and Nick can sit in the back together."

We walked to the back. I sat down and waited. I knew Max would ask any minute.

"So Fang or is it Nick?"

She said Fang and Nick meanly.

"Did you think that since I'm the new kid that you would play a joke on me and give yourself a new name?"

I looked up. I could tell that she could see the the hurt in my eyes.

"No."

"Then why did you tell me that your name was Fang. Fang is a stupid name anyway."

She said that even meaner.

I had just met her and she already hates me. This is great, just great. NOT! I actually was going to try being her friend but now she just disted my

nickname. I'm not sure if I wanted to. That name is very special to me. I don't tell everyone that.

"It's my nickname."

Nikki :)
