Trolololol. I feel really hyper. Even I like spent the whole night awake, on fanfiction. It's like 7 AM now, wheeeeeeee! Yeah, I'm just weird like that, on with the story...
Max POV
I just was just excused from school. And guess what? Nudge and I missed the bus home. And then guess what? The universe thought it would be funny to start a rain storm right about then. Screw the universe. Now I was stuck with a complaining Nudge walking through the pouring rain.
"Max! My hair is getting wet and
!" complained Nudge loudly, making my ears hurt.
"Not my fault someone had to make me wait for a certain person!" I snapped back, referring to when she insisted on making a quick stop in the bathroom to fix her hair. And now it was really "destroyed". That's what karma does for you.
"Can't we like, ask someone to take us home?" Nudge asked me, staring at her soggy shoes as we walked home.
"You mean you want us to hitch hike? Sorry Nudge, but that's a big no," I stated plainly, looking out straight ahead of us. It was getting a little dark, and a little chilly..
Nudge shut up at the mention of hitch hiking. She didn't say anything from then on. It was really pouring now, and the winds picked up their pace.
"I guess the universe just hates us that much Nudge," I told her, breaking the silence.
"Sure does Max. Sorry for making you wait for me in the bathroom," Nudge apologized.
"It's ok, you're Nudge. So you're excused," I grinned at her. She instantly brightened up.
"So how are we going to get home? It's getting dark, we have no money or any working phone..." Nudge trailed off. Just then a small and black car came swerving to the edge of the sidewalk. A door opened and a deep voice said;
"Get in, you're wet,"
I immediately covered Nudge protectively with myself. I slowly backed away, bringing her with me. I knew a protective look must have covered my face right then, whether Nudge was a real sister (she's adopted, duh) or not.
"Max, relax, just get in the car," the voice coaxed. Some cars behind would occasionally honk, annoyed that they had to swerve around to avoid collision.
I didn't take the bait. But I admit, I was surprised that whoever was in the car knew my name. I became even more frightened. I quickly started reviewing all the defense techniques I knew in my head. At the same time I was still slowly backing away, Nudge still in my arms.
"Max, jeez, don't be so protective. It's me, Fang. Just get in the car!" the voice snapped, angry now. I hadn't seen who it was, the windows were tinted that black. I reluctantly stepped forward, and ushered Nudge into the back seat. I took the shot gun for myself.
"Finally, took forever!" Fang said, rolling his eyes in frustration.
"Well excuse me for thinking that you were some raper planning to kidnap us!" I told him.
"Whatever. What were you doing walking through a rain storm anyways? You're soaking," Fang asked, eyebrows raised.
"Someone over here made us miss the bus, so we were planning to walk home," I said sheepishly.
"Walk? Through pouring rain? I thought you were smarter Max!" Fang teased.
"Just take us home, please."
"Ok ok," Fang said, still chuckling.
"Aren't you gonna ask where we live?" I asked him, suspicious.
"I know where you live Max. You live right across from me,"
"Stalker!" I yelled, slapping his arm.
"Hey! I just saw you going out to take a jog one day and I said to myself; hey look, it's Max" he grinned.
The rest of the car ride was spent with pointless conversation. But finally, we reached our destination.
"Thanks for the lift Fang, saved us a whole lot of trouble," I said gratefully.
"Sure, no problem," he replied, and drove off to park in his drive way. Now to prepare for what our parents would say when their two girls came home late drenched. As soon as I opened the front door..
"Max! Nudge! Where on earth have you two been?!" Asked my mom.
"Someone here made us miss the bus. So we tried to walk home, and got soaked. But halfway through a kid from school offered us a lift. He lives right across from us," I told them as calmly as I could.
"Someone? Whose this someone?" My dad asked suspiciously.
"He's a boy in my class named Fang. He's new," I told them, and then walking upstairs.
I basically ditched my parents and left them standing. I walked up the stairs, making wet squishy sounds as I did. As soon as I reached my room, I changed into some fluffy cotton pajamas and towel dried my hair. Finally I wasn't a wet and soggy girl.
Seeing that I had nothing better to do, I decided to turn on my ancient computer. I pressed the old button and the whole thing came to life with a rumbling. As soon as it finally loaded, I opened the Internet browser and decided to go on the schools online chatroom. It was really stupid of them to make one, seeing all the dangers. But it was password protected and each student had a identifiable account.
I quickly logged into my account, and I instantly saw some people I knew. Iggy, Dylan, Lissa, Jessica, Fang. Some few others I didn't know as well.
Maximum R.: Hey Guys
Iggy G.: Hey Max! What brings u here?
Maximum R.: Nothing rlly, besides pure boredom xD
Lissa J.: What's *she* doing here?
Maximum R.: Same thing as u *shrugs*
Dylan K.: Max can stay here, she's a student
Fang W.: Hey Max, you dried up yet? :3
Sam K.: ?
Dylan L.: ... O,o
Jessica S.: Wait, I'm confused?
Fang W.: Max here decided walking home in the rain after missing her bus was a better idea than calling for help. I saved her sorry butt!
Maximum R.: Fang... I'm gonna kill you!
Dylan K.: I'd watch out Fang.. Max is like a angry bee when she's mad.
Maximum R.: And this angry bee is gonna take out Dylan too ._.
Iggy G.: Can I be taken out? :D
Maximum R.: sure!
Maximum R.: Anyways, I gtg. Bye
Fang W.: No! Don't leave me here! Take me with u!
Maximum R.: *grins* Hope you like disappointment!
~Maximum R. has left the chat~
I laughed to myself as I turned off the computer. As soon as I did, I flopped onto my bed and just lay there, staring at the ceiling. I had blanked out till I heard;
"Max? You there?"
Nudge.
"Yeah I'm here. Why?" I asked.
"Fang is being a little... *weird* on the chat," giggled Nudge, and opening her laptop to show me. Sure enough, Fang had managed to get himself wedged into a argument with Dylan. About me.
"Those crazy teenage hormonal boys," I groaned.
"You sure you don't like any teenage boys?" Nudge asked, curiosity glinting in her eyes.
"Yes Nudge, I'm sure," I muttered out. Mostly because I wasn't actually sure.
"You know, the way you and Fang look at each other, it's quite unusual," Nudge hinted.
"Nudge! For the last time, I. Do. Not. Like. Fang!" I yelled, throwing my hands out in frustration.
"Ok, but you should pay more attention to the way Fang acts around you, talks about you," Nudge said, winking before walking out of my room.
There WAS something weird about Fang... It was almost like I was..
No. Maximum Ride does not have crushes on silly boys.
I wondered some more. Fang. His dark eyes like tunnels with no end. But yet flickered with gold. His soft, feather like hair. His-
Wait, what was I thinking? I must be going nuts.
And then I really did go nuts. The pain in my back returned, searing its way throughout my body. All I could say through clenched teeth was,
"Ow,"
And that's when I passed out.
Fang POV
I was laying in my bed, chatting with people on the school chatroom. Max was there briefly. And even online, she showed her strong attitude. That was Max for you.
There was something about Max, that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I felt almost, literally, attracted to her. But I knew she couldn't be the one. She was human.
And I was a angel. A dark angel at that. My species was only named that for our dark black wings. But really? We were the good guys. It was the light angels that were evil.
And angels had mates. There was the one. It had to be a angel. And of your own species. There was only one sure-fire way that you would know you found your mate. Mates could mind read each others minds, and each others mind only. Mentally communicate with each other. And you could only develop that with a true, full grown, angel.
And that's why Max was immediately ruled out. I still had lots of time though to find my mate, I was young. I didn't have to worry a bit.
But there was one thing that bothered me about Max; the way she crumpled to the ground the other day, in pain. She said it was caused from her back. This was exactly how angels initially fledged. The emerging wings were quite painful. She couldn't be fledging.. It was too late for her to fledge. He had fledged when he was 10. She was now 16.
I shut down my computer, let out my wings, and jumped out through the window. My wings caught me and I beat them, sailing higher and higher. I sailed through the night.
So how's that for a third chapter? I feel like I'm rushing it though.., but you did find out was Fang is! And what Dylan is as well, he's a light angel if you didn't catch it. White wings? I dont know why, but Im not liking calling them angels... but I have no other word so.. Sneak peek: in this story, the white angels are the evil ones. Darn those angels! D:
