A/N: First off I wanna say that I'm sorry for all the typo's and horrible spelling. My keyboards pretty messed up and I have a cat that likes to lay on it when I'm not at my laptop.

Thank you for reviewing/following this story, and for suggesting songs! My last chapter was almost hlaf as long as the first one but, I kinda rushed it because I wanted to gt up the next chapter. And it was late at night, and The Big Bang Theory deprived me of sleep. And so did my dog. She doesn't like thunderstorms and kept breathing right in my face.

Enough of my ranting. On with the story!

Chapter 3: New Neighbors and a Mystery

The rest of the first day was pretty uneventful. Kids stared at me in every new class, only making me more self-concious about my wings.

I felt like may day just kept progressing from worse, to absolutely terrible. That is until last period. Orchestra. Apparently, Tipisco Academy had already known how good I was and just went ahead and put me in the top group, Symphony orchestra. But the kids here just called it Chamber. I told the director that I played violin, viola and cello on pretty much the same level and asked him what section I played in. Since I loved all equally (I can't pick a favorite. It's like picking a favorite kid.) we just picked at random. I was in violin one. Since they hadn't had a chair test yet, I just sat fourth chair for now.

I was on my way back to my dorm when I turned a corner to our hallway and bumped into someone. Or should I say Fang. Again.

"Wow. You seem to pop out of now where quite often." I said. He offered a hand to help me up, which I took and pulled myself up.

"Sorry. Again." Said Fang.

"It's fine. I should watch where I'm going." he nodded his head.

"So which dorm are you in? I think you told me earlier that you were in this hall too." I said, trying to change the subject.

"1410."

"Cool. Right across the hall from me. See ya later then." he nodded his head again and went back into his dorm.

He sure didnt like to talk much. I unlocked my door and walked in to see Ella sitting on her bed with two other girls, who were chatting away.

"Max! I made two new friends! This is Nudge and Angel," she said, gesturing to the two girls sitting on her bed. One of them came up to me. She was a little taller than Ella, had tan skin, cand curly brown hair that went a little past her shoulders.

"HI! I'm Nudge! Well my real names Monique but I go by Nudge. I live next door with Angel! Do you like it here! Your dorm is amazing! What's Max short for? Are you in orchestra? Do you like music? Because I LOVE music! I can't imagine anyone who would hate music! I mean how can you hate music? It would be horrible to be deaf because then you wouldn't be able to listen to music, or talk to people or listen to them. It would suck to be blind to, like Iggy, even though he deals pretty well with it. He still remembers what it was like to see. He wasn't born that way though. Iggy's my brother. Well adopted brother. Because we look NOTHING alike! Kind of like you and Ella! Except for the eyes kind of. Are you half siblings?" Wow she could talk.

"Great Nudge. You rendered her speachless. I'm Angel." she said, who looked, well, angelic to be honest. With a halo of golden curls and the bluest eyes I have ever seen.

"Max. Yeah we just got here this morning. And yeah I'm in orchestra and I obviously love music."

"Dear God Nudge! I can hear you from accross the hall! You could talk someones ear off!" said Iggy. Don't ask me how he got into our dorm because I have no idea.

"Lock picking kit." Angel said to me. I don't know how she knew what I was thinking. But it was spooky.

"Ummmm...Okay then...I've gotta get started on this make-up work so if you'll excuse me." I said, making my way to my laptop on the desk.

***PAGE BREAK. I LIKE TO CALL IT WRITERS BLOCK alskdjfowivknknx kngiiorfj;akldvlkjrg;oaeif;kcn. That was my writers block frustration. On with the chapter***

"Max. Max. MAX!" said a voice.

"AGH!" I subconciously threw a punch in the direction of the voice. Hard. I opened my eyes and saw it was Fang. Whoops.

"God Max! Do you always punch in your sleep?" he said

"Wha-what happened?" I felt that my face had keyboard marks. Had I fallen asleep doing homework? Well lets see. Sleep or researching biopharmeceuticals? Sleep wins every time.

"Ella, Nudge, Angel, Iggy and Gazzy all went to go get dinner. Ella told me to wake you up if you didnt wake up after they left. I kinda regret agreeing to that." he said while holding his jaw. I gotta say. I'm shocked. Thats probably the longest thing I've ever heard him say.

"Sorry. Force of habit."

"Whaddya mean?"

"Ummmm...wanna go meet the guys at the mess hall?"

"Uhhh...sure I guess."

I'm not the most pleasent person sometimes. Plus I just woke up and I've got a killer headache. Yeah, you wouldn't wanna bug me.

Fang and I walked to the mess hall in silence. But not an awkward silence. It was comfortable with him. It was weird. I'd felt like I'd known Fang for years even though I just met him this morning.

We were in the middle of the courtyard, sorrounded by the buildings and various gardens of desert plant life. It was really pretty actually. The sun was starting to set, and there was a light wind blowing in the East. This is perfect. I just wish I could whip out my wings and fly off into the sunset, not caring who sees.

"You wish you could what?" said Fang a little suspiciously.

Did I say that last part out loud? What was that like, my FIFTH "whoops moment" today?

"Ummm..." But I was cut off right then. Remember that killer headache I mentioned before?

It felt like it had exploded into a million pieces inside my head. Like a star just blew up into a supernova. Only ten times bigger and more painful.

I couldn't see. Couldn't think, couldn't breath. The only thing I knew right now was that I felt like my brain just splattered onto the inside of my skull. There was a loud screeching noise and I covered my ears and for a brief second, I realized that the screeching noise was me, screaming. I dropped to the ground like a sack of rocks and curled up into a ball the tightest I could be. All I wanted to do right now was die so the pain could stop.

Random images flashed before my eyes, none of them long enough for me to actually process what I actually saw. I started screaming again. I didn't care. I couldn't hold it in.

"Max?" Fangs voice felt like it was a million miles away. I think I heard the others run towards me. I knew I needed help, and that they would take me to a hospital. Maybe Ella could stop them?

It didnt matter anyways because by the time I felt Iggys gentle fingers brush my forehead, I was already blacked out.

But before I did, I saw one image pause in my head long enough for me to see.

Jeb.

THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN MY SHORTEST CHAPTER YET. I'm REALLY sorry! I know I left you guys on a cliffhanger (not a very good one by the way) but I once again got writers block. Not really. Thats just my excuse for being lazy.

One more thing. I still need some song ideas. Same criteria!

REVIEW!
