Chapter 2

Secrets

The next day, Joe asks if I wanted to meet his family.

"Yes. I would love to meet your family! I just have to ask my mom first." I told Joe.

"Already taken care of." Joe said

"What the hell! Stoker much!"

"I'm not a stoker." Joe said

"Then how did you know my phone number?" I answered. I still thought he was a stoker.

"My mom knew your number somehow. Strange. She could have looked it up in the phone book?" Joe said

"She couldn't have. My number is restricted. It wouldn't show up in the phone book."I said

"Oh well. We will ask her later."Joe said

"Yea. Can't wait."I replied

School ended at 2:35. It was 2:30. In 5 minutes I would be going to Joe's house. I got to remember not to make a fool of myself. Those 5 minutes went by faster than I wanted them to. I was nervous. I waited on the playground until Joe got out of the building. When he exited he walked over to me. He then walked me to Kevin's car. On our way there, my friend Karolina asked if she could talk to me for a minute. I said OK. We walked to the side of the building and she asked me a question.

"Why are you leaving with James?" she asked

"His brother is giving me a ride home. Our parents knew each other so my mom asked if he could give me a ride home." I lied. I didn't like to lie to her. She was one of my best friends. But she believed me.

"OK. Well I will see you tomorrow then. Text me tonight with what happened."

"OK. Bye Karolina." I said while she walked away.

I met back up with Joe. We then walked to Kevin's car. We climbed inside then the car drove off.

The ride was very quiet. I was really nervous. I wonder if Joe was nervous too. I doubt it though. He is a celebrity. He must be used to girls sneaking into his house. This was different though. He invited me. We pulled into his driveway and climbed out of the car. We went into his house and into his room. When we entered, we saw our mothers on his bed. What was my mom doing here?

"Hi mom. Hi . Mom, what are you doing here?"I said

"We both have something to tell you." said

"What is it?"Joe asked being inpatient.

"Well. You two are part bird and your bird names are Max and Fang. You two are two of the bird kids from the book Maximum Ride." My mom said.

"WHAT THE HELL!!!"Joe and I say at the same time.

"Watch your language." said.

"Sorry. You just caught us be surprise."Joe said. But we can't be part bird. We don't have wings." Joe said

"Yes you do."my mom said."Both of you. Turn around."

We both turn around and they unzipped these fake body suits. There were these wings about 13 feet long. I was in shock. I looked at Joe and he looked shocked too. We both spoke at the same time.

"Start explaining." We said.
