Chapter 3: Max's POV
Senior year.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Ugh. I slapped my hand on my alarm clock.
Time: 4:30 am Perfect
Why am I getting up at 4:30? Easy- nobody is up right now so I can run for 2 hours in peace.
I threw on my running clothes: black running shorts, black tank top, and of course black converse. I scribbled a quick note to my family
Gone running
-Max
Let me start over: My name is Maximum Ride. Max for short. I have waist length brown hair with natural blonde highlights. I'm 5'9 and have chocolate brown eyes. I've been told that I'm pretty but I assure you that's not true.
And I don't speak. I'm the nerd at my school, top of her AP classes with hidden unknown talents. My 3 best friends: Ella, Iggy, and Nudge are the only people I trust, and these people are the only ones that hear me speak since the incident in sophomore year with Nick.
And now you're are probably wondering what happened to him. He dated Lissa for about a week, than got bored and dumped her.
He is now the biggest player at school, every girl swoons at him except Ella, Nudge and I.
Dates girls for a week than dumps them. Disgusting. Pathetic.
I started out at a jog for about a block, I kept up my hood that blocked my face. Sorry but I don't want anybody to know I can run faster than Nick himself. Hump he thinks he's the best, cocky jerk.
Just as a rounded the block I ran into a mass of black, only one person wears the same amount of black clothing as me: Nick.
I fell backwards but thanks to 10 years of gymnastics I did a back hand spring and landed on my feet.
I quickly hide my face.
"Sorry I didn't see you there, but nice moves. What's your name?" Nick asked.
I slowly got up, I couldn't tell him my name and the fact that I refused to talk. So I quickly went around him and started to run as fast as I could. I could hear his feet behind him as he tried to catch up. I sped up, causing my hood to fall, great I thought as I quickly brought it back up. Not before I quick glimpse of my eyes were revealed. Nick stopped but I continued to go faster but a school pencil fell out of my pocket. He picked it up, smirked and yelled:
"I will find out who you are mystery girl! Than you and I are getting to know each other!"
Well. Fuck.
