A/N. Thanks for all the support! I have a plan laid out for this story and I hope you'll like it as much as I do. Oh and if you noticed, I redid the chapter because of spelling errors.
Max POV
I fixed my black hoodie so the knife wouldn't be seen. I gripped the hilt and practiced taking it out as fast as I could. My fastest was less than a second and if that wasn't enough I had a razor hidden in my shoe, you can never be too careful.
I looked at myself in the mirror, my hair wasn't a total bird's nest today and the dark circles under my eyes had lessened since I've been getting a good night's sleep lately. Arizona wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I still miss sunny California. I miss swimming in the sea or surfing or just lying on the beach. I miss the way I could perform a song in front of the crowd. I miss our house. I miss our home.
Arizona was different, I couldn't find a beach if my life depended on it and I certainly couldn't sing in front of a crowd, that would really attract attention and this house we're living in; it isn't home, not even close.
I sighed then went downstairs to join Ella/Tina.
"Hey Sydney," Tina greeted me.
"Hey, you ready to go?" I asked her and she nodded.
We were walking to the bus station when we heard a voice call out to us.
"Yo! Tina! Syd!" We turned around to see Iggy and Fang walking behind us. Iggy was the one who called out to us if you didn't figure it out.
"You guys wanna hangout later? The Flock is going to the mall later and we were wondering if you wanted to go with us," Iggy said, mainly to Tina.
"Sure that sounds great! Doesn't it Syd?" Tina asked me but the underlined message was clear: you have no choice but to go with me. The girl had a lot of hidden messages apparently.
"Of course Tina! I'd love to go!" I said mocking her preppy voice and she stuck her tongue out at me.
"Great!" Iggy grinned "See you guys later then."
"Bye McGulicutty," I mocked Fang.
"Good riddance, Peterson!" Fang called back.
Tina stifled a laugh "You two are so cute," she smiled.
"If by cute you mean in a constant banter of words then yes, we are cute."
Tina rolled her eyes "You guys like each other and you know it."
I sighed; I really didn't have time for this. "Whatever you say Tina."
The day again went by quickly, I was actually thinking of just skipping telling you about school since it was just so damn boring! That was until a certain red head tripped me.
"What the hell was that for!" I yelled at her and looked at the food all over my shirt.
"You stole my boyfriend!" she screeched at me. I looked at her too tight shirt and too short skirt. It looked like someone spray orange paint all over her face and poured the rest of the paint in her hair.
"Uh, who would wanna date you?" I asked in all seriousness.
By now the whole cafeteria was watching us. "You stole my Fangypoo!" she screeched again.
Okay, first of all 'Fangypoo'? And as if that wasn't enough, just the idea of Fang and her together was just…hilarious so I did the natural thing anybody would do in my position. I burst out laughing. Okay, maybe not everybody but anyone with a sense of humor.
The red head's hair wasn't as red as her face now.
"What's so funny?" she asked me.
"You. Fangypoo. Dating. Me. Dating. Fang." I managed to say between laughter. When I finally calmed myself down I cleared my throat.
"First of all, I am not dating Fang. Second of all, I don't think Fangypoo is dating you either and third of all, I think your clothes count as rated PG and not in a good way.
She huffed then turned away with another red head following close behind her. The whole room burst into laughter and clapping; so much for no attention.
I sat at my lunch table and looked at the Flock who were all looking at me in awe.
"Man that was awesome!" Iggy grinned and high fived me.
"Did you see Lissa? I think she just got rid of your stalker Fang!" Nudge said.
"Thanks," Fang said.
"You're very welcome, Fangypoo," and everyone laughed, except for Fang.
"You and Tina are now officially part of the Flock," Angel decided.
"Everyone in favor, raise your hand," Nudge said and every hand went up.
"Welcome to the Flock Sydney and Tina Peterson," Gazzy grinned.
I'll just tell you that the rest of the day would probably bore you tears if I described every little detail of it; I know it did to me so let me speed this up a bit to when we met up in the mall.
"So what do we do first?" I asked and they all exchanged looks.
"Laser tag," they all said.
"It's tradition," Angel told Tina and I.
"So the team leaders are Fang and Iggy like usual so start picking your members," Nudge said.
The blue team was Iggy, Tina, Nudge and Gazzy and the red team was Fang, Angel and me. When we got there the man seemed to recognize us already.
"I take it you have your teams already?" he asked us and we nodded.
He gave us our gear and we went in.
This should be fun.
A/N. Love it? Hate it? Don't give a damn? Only one way to let me know so why not press the pretty little review button? If I get 3 reviews, I'll update in a week, if I get 5 then 2-3 days for now, if I get more than 5 then I will update tomorrow since the next chapter is already ready! So review!
