A/N: I'm getting writer's block. This chapter probably won't end up being published until like a week after I wrote this A/N. Any ideas can be sent to me via review or e-mail.
I need to decide a name for a new character so I made a poll on my profile.

First day of School

Iggy's POV

I was making breakfast for the flock. Now that I'd got the layout of Ella's place, it was relatively easy to cook here. I loved cooking. It made me feel useful. Like being blind didn't stop me from being able to help the flock. I was the only one in the kitchen, but I knew the others would be up soon.

I heard footsteps behind me. Quite soft, a girl's. Ella's.

"Morning Ella," I said, knowing this would surprise her.

She was silent for a moment, and then, "How on earth did you know it was me?" she asked, amazed. I laughed and grinned.

"I guess I'm just very intelligent," I said, "You want scrambled eggs?"

"Sure," she said, "It smells great. I still have no idea how you cook though."

"Well I guess I'm just used to it now," I said modestly.

"Well I think you're amazing," said Ella quietly. I felt my cheeks redden, and there was an awkward silence until I heard the sizzling of bacon behind me. I turned back to the cooking.

"Looks like it's ready," I said, handing over a plate of eggs, sausages and bacon.

"Hmmn, smells great," she said, and started eating. I made myself a plate too, and it was delicious, even if I do say so myself. We ate in silence, but were soon joined by the rest of the flock. The conversation turned towards school, again. Max, Fang and I, would leave with Ella, and the younger kids would go together a little afterwards, to try and make it look like we were separate, and preferably not be recognized.

Once we were finished, and ready, we walked out the door, and set out for school.

Max's POV

It was quite cold outside, making our faces flushed. I was wondering if we'd be able to fly to school on some days. It's be great in Summer.

Before we'd even gone ten steps from the house I saw a boy step out from the house next door. He had quite dark blonde hair, and blue eyes.

"Hey, Ella!" he called. I raised my eyebrows questioningly at Ella.

"That's Ollie, he's my best friend at school, and he's in my class," explained Ella.

Friend or…?" asked Iggy playfully. Ella shoved him.

"Friend," she emphasized, "He's dating a friend of mine,"

Meanwhile, Ollie had caught up to us, and he looked confused.

"Do I know you?" he asked, unsure. Crap, this must be the Flock fan Ella had mentioned once.

"Uh, I don't think so," I tried, "I'm…Max, Ella's half-sister, I've been living with my Dad, but we moved here and decided to join Ella at school." That sounded…believable.

"Max..." he seemed to be on the verge of working it out but then came back to the present,
"And these are your brothers?" he asked sceptically, looking at my brown hair and eyes, Fang's black hair and dark eyes, and Iggy's strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. Crap.

"They're, uh… half brothers," I said, wondering how long this would go on for, "Our Dad's been married a few times,"

"But you're all the same age?" he asked. Ok, this kid wasn't dumb.

"Uh, yeah, we're all fourteen," I replied, this wasn't going well.

"Hmm…" he said thoughtfully, observing us. Then he gasped.

"You're the bird-kids!" he said, shocked.

I sighed, "Yeah," I said, we wouldn't be able to fob him off.

"Woah, cool," he said admiringly, but then a look of confusion crossed his face, "But where are Gazzy, Angel, and Nudge?" he asked.

I raised my eyebrows, he knew our names.

"They're going separately, to try and make it less easy for us to be recognised," I said.

"Right…But you could have just told me straight away, I'm trustworthy," he said.

"Well we didn't want to take risks," I said, "And we didn't know you,"

"Have you got fake names?" he asked, "I can't just call you Fang and Iggy,"

I shrugged, and gestured for him to ask Fang and Iggy.

"I'll be…Jeff," said Iggy, "I've used that name before."

"Nick," said Fang, the first word he'd said all day. Ollie nodded. He seemed like a nice guy, if a little weird.

"So why've you decided to go to school?" asked Ollie, "I thought you were saving the world,"

"Yeah well, until I get more instructions, we decided to lie low and Ella gave us the idea of going there," I decided not to mention Angel's prophecy, it was confusing enough already.

"Well this'll be cool," said Ollie exuberantly, "But don't worry, I won't tell."

Iggy's POV

Most of the walk was spent with Ollie questioning us about different subjects. I slipped in a few jokes but I didn't say much. Ollie seemed like a nice guy, and if he was Ella's best friend he couldn't be too bad. I heard a few other voices as we got nearer (I guessed) to the school.

It seemed to have quite a large amount of students.

The conversation changed in to stuff that wouldn't matter if it was overheard, and I found myself wishing I could see the school and all the people there. I knew I'd be able to build a good mental picture of it after a few weeks, but I hated the beginning bits of somewhere new.

I was completely and utterly lost here if I didn't have any help.

Not good.

A/N: Next chapter won't go up until the poll has a definite winner, and I need to ramble on a bit so I reach my one thousand word goal. Please review. What do you think of Ollie? Did I build a good character or… Never mind, that's a thousand words.
