Well I'm officially bored. I really don't feel like pointless studying or T.V. So what to do? Write fanfiction of course! I finally came up with a good excuse for why my chapters are so short... Want to hear it? write his so short! Fairly ingenious if I do say so myself. Any way, to the chapter!

"I can't believe I am about to do this." I complained to Fang. "And I seriously can't believe I let her do that." I said, pointing to my intricately crafted hairdo. I sparkled. Sparkled. Courtesy of Nudge, of course.

We were standing in front of a massive building that was swarming with chattering students.

"I thought this was a school for special kids, like us." Gazzy said. I could tell he was a little nervous and that he was trying not to show it.

"It is," Replied Nudge, "But there are a whole lot of special kids like us, without the wings. I'm not quite sure where they are all from, but they just don't fit into normal school. Some are, like, extremely important kids who're here because of the amazing security and stuff. Some are probably from the other labs... Actually that seems unlikely cause we're meant to be the only good ones left and stuff-"

"Nudge, we get it."

Angel was silent for once and I thought that I knew why. On our way here we had stopped at my mum's house to see if we could pick up Total from where we had left him. It turns out that the school had a "No pets allowed" policy. I knew she would feel safer and more comfortable if she had him with her and I wished I could do something about it, I hated seeing my flock upset.

"It's okay Max, I know why he can't come. I just hope he isn't too lonely."

"Okay guys," I was the leader all the time and that meant that I had to keep my flock's moral up even when mine was below my feet. "Let's go, we can do this! Oh, and Iggy, Gazzy? Please, please, please only let pyro-ness out in small controlled doses. I don't feel like getting kicked out."

I seriously didn't like the guilty look on both their faces.

"Give it here," I said, holding out my hand. "Now!"

Iggy passed it over.

"No blowing up the school on the first day."

It was sad that I even had to say that. I took a deep breath as we entered the double doors that led to a chance at normality and a place to relax. It was almost as good as Fang's desert island but something wasn't right and I knew that none of us could let our guard down while we were here. It was my job to see to that. How well could I do that job? Well, we'll see.

"You'll do great Max," Said Angel in my head, once again. "You always do."

There was a loud bang behind me.

Gun.

I spun around, already in my best fighting stance, to find-... A student slamming a door. Oh. Wow, I was on edge and I couldn't figure out why. Something wasn't right. Something was out of place.

"Max?"

I slowly turned back around. That voice was familiar.

"Max, is that you?"

"Sam?"
