Thanks for the reviews! Only my mom went all weird on me saying oh I'm so proud and stuff like that. Oh and I don't own maximum ride.
Over the next week everything was normal or as normal as 3 mutants living in an attic can be. It involved fang sneaking down and getting food , it turned out he can turn invisible, Iggy learning the layout of the room surprisingly fast, Iggy setting bombs off downstairs (mostly on Anne), everyone laughing when we hear her high pitched scream, Anne storming up to yell at us (which we can't hear over our laughing) for ruining her "brilliant" hairstyle. We each fell into our own routines. I became the leader half because I was (or at least looked) older and partly because I knew most everything that ticked Anne off. (Remember I have lived here all my life)
Nothing really noteworthy happened until today. I was jumping up and down on my bed to make the kids under me go complain their whiney little buts to Anne, Iggy was fiddling with things (probably a bomb), and fang was practicing his invisibility so it doesn't go out in the middle of one of his escapades for food.(its happened before) I suddenly heard the click of the lock on the door, everyone stopped what they were doing and tried to look unsuspicious . Anne opened the door and looked highly annoyed. Then I noticed the girl she had with her. She was about 9 years old. She was black and had very wild, long, dark brown hair.
Anne pushed the girl inside and closed the door quickly. I wonder what's with all the new roommates. I thought. I helped the girl up and said "what's your name, girly?"
I wasn't usually this nice but the girl looked like she was going to cry. "I don't have one, but everyone calls me nudge." She sniffled. "Why?" fang asked. Still the man of many words, I see. Nudge seemed to get the skip back into her step because she said more confidently "my friends used to say all they had to do is nudge me to get me to talk. They also said I'm the nudge channel all nudge all the time! So where can I sleep? I don't really mind sharing a bed, but I don't think it would be that comfortable. OMG! Where are my manners? What are your names? Do you have wings? Because that horrible lady said I would be rooming with some of my own kind! So I'm guessing your it!" she was going to say more but Iggy clamped a hand over her mouth.
Then said "okay? I can see where you got your nickname! Well help you get your mattress from over there onto an empty bed. We won't be sharing beds. Yes we have wings and we'll all get to know each other after that."
While we were heaving the mattress over to an empty bed, nudge went on and on about herself. So I learned that she was given to an orphanage when she was born and was adopted (they didn't know about the wings) by a single mom who recently died. She was flown (on an airplane stupid I just said they didn't know about her wings) over here to Arizona by some science representative she guessed, he had on a white coat. When she got here she was treated nicely until the scientist guy left. I guess Anne recognized the bulge of the wings on her back. So then she was thrown in here.
I introduced myself and my history. Fang and Iggy followed, but I noticed fang used less words to explain himself. Nudge nodded as she took this in. she then noticed the state of our clothes." OMG what happened to your clothes!"She screeched at me. It was true my clothes looked horrible. If I ever did something really bad to Anne (a girl needs to be entertained!) I had to go through the orphanage and clean. So i had wears and tears everywhere. Oh and throw in some stains too.
i didn't even have time to answer as she tried to make me as fashionable as possible. She rolled up my pant legs to remove view of the stain on my knees. I had on a long shirt that went down to my hips, which she tore just above my bellybutton to get rid of the stains of where I wiped the grime off my hands.
I got a good look at myself. I looked good with a little hint of don't mess with me message going on. "Well it looks like we know who the future fashion designer is." I said as I looked at her smiling face. She was already growing on me.
