Can Change Be Good?

I do not own Maximum Ride

Chapter 4: School

Max POV

"Are you ready to show everyone the new you?" Cassie asked before openning the school doors. Then everything happened like it was in slow motion, Me and Cassie both started walking down the hall and I noticed many groups grow slient as we passed by. I looked over at Cassie who gave me a supporting smile before walking into the main office to retrieve her schedule. Which then just left me and the many people gawking at me until a student whispered "Is that Max?"

"I think it is" Another student whispered

"Damn, who knew she could look so good." Another student said before all chaos broke out.

"Max what happened to your glasses?" A boy from my biology class screamed.

"No, more like where did she get that jacket?" A girl from my PE class screamed. But in all the questions that were being screamed at me I couldn't help but smile a little, but it quickly dropped when I saw another group of kids walk through the doors and every one quickly became slient. I sliently craned my neck and saw that Nicholas and his new crew have arrived and were quickly approaching the crowd. I started shoving my way through the crowd to get as far away from them as possible before they saw me, but only to be grabbed by my hoad and quickly yanked back. I quickly spun around only to see Cassie's supporting eyes looking at me and for her to mouth Convenience. I slowly nodded and went back into the middle of the crowd with Cassie trailing behind me with her hands on her hips. Lissa and Nicholas with the rest of the populars quickly entered the circle and looked around until there eye's landed on me.

"Well look who's trying to fit in now." Lissa sneered. I felt Cassie nudge me in a way saying Well do something. So I quickly put on a bored expression and gave a small shrug.

"Well I guess she hasn't changed that much because she's still has that pathetic attitude of hers." Lissa's friend Bridget laughed, which resulted in me taking a few steps back until Cassie grabbed my wrist and made me stay still.

"OH! Max these were the girls you were telling me about. The ones who wear the stripper clothes and wear clown make up." Cassie said giving them a knowing expression. While everyone gave a small gasp.

"Well I see Max has made friends with the new girl and I guess she forgot to explain to her how this school runs. Well since I would hate for her to make the same mistake twice I will be happy to tell you the rules. Rule 1..."Lissa started

"No, it's cool I don't need to know the rules because I really just don't care." Cassie sneered linking her arms with mine. I looked up and saw Lissa and Bridget fuming while Nicholas, Travis, and Greg attempted to calm them down. Then with a sudden burst of convenience I said

"Yeah, so could you guy's move out of our way cause I wanna show Cassie to her locker and I can't do that with the two barbies in my way." Which resulted in the crowd gasping and whispering with out taking there eye's off the scene. While the populars had shocked expressions on there faces, except for Nicholas who wasn't tearing his eye's from my face looking like he was searching for something.

"What did you just say freak!" Lissa screamed

"You heard me! Or are you just that stupid." I retorted and took a step forward.

"I am not stupid." Lissa hissed taking a step.

"Oh yeah I forgot that brains aren't everything for someone like you..." I started and began to walk away with Cassie on my arm, but then quickly turned my head over my shoulder and said

"But I forgot that in your case there nothing." Cassie then took the lead and we exited the circle.

"You may have changed your look Maxie, but that doesn't mean your not the pathetic loser you have always been! And mark this right now that this isn't over!" Lissa screamed.

Once we were a little ways away from the circle, Cassie quickly turned towards me and said "That was awesome."

"Yeah awesome." I said taking a seat on a bench with my hands visibly trembling.

"Are you ok?" Cassie said taking a seat next to me.

"Yeah, just a little shaken up." I said taking a small breath. I turned towards Cassie and asked, "Will this get easier, I mean you know challenging people?"

"Of course!" Cassie said relaxing a little, "It's not like it's a magical thing. It's completley and utterly a mortal thing, that's why it came so easy for you because your not mortal."

"Ok, well we better get to first period because the bell is going to ring in probably 2 minutes." I said standing up.

"Alright, so what do you got first?" Cassie asked

"Biology. What do you got." I asked

"Uh,...Math." Cassie anwsered while looking at her schedule.

"So I guess I'll see you at lunch then." I said taking a deep breath because I'm not to postive that i'll be able to handle the new me without her.

"Alright then, but remember your powers are still coming in and when they do you'll be tempted to use them when a obstacle gets in your way, but you have to promise me you won't unless i'm there. You got it?" Cassie said turning dead serious and staring intently at me.

"I promise." I said turning around and walking to biology. I really didn't think my powers would come in too fast, so I really wasn't planning on sweating it because I probably wouldn't even know how to use them if they did anyway. Right?

The bell rang right when I walked into biology and Mr. Daily wasn't too happy about it.

"So nice of you to join us Maxine, so will you please take your seat because I would like to begin class." Mr. Daily sneered. I quickly took the closest's seat which was sadly in front of Nicholas and Lissa and let out a sigh of content while I openned my textbook.

"Alright class who you are sitting with right now will be your new lab partners for the rest of the year and there will be no changes. Now if you will turn your textbooks to page 89 we will begin are weather unit with low and high pressure units." Mr. Daily said pointly. A few students in the back slapped high fives, while others let out rough sighs. I looked over to my left of the lab table and saw a empty seat, which resulted in me sighing roughly too because not that I don't mined working by myself, it's just biology really isn't my best subject and everyone knows that, so I will most likely fail this term and end up spending my summer in summer school...again.

"Alright the difference between a high and low pressure weather current is..." Mr. Daily started until the classroom door busted openned and a boy with blond hair and turquiose eyes walked in the room with a confused look in his eye's until he asked

"Is this biology with ?"

"Yes and who might you be?" Mr. Daily asked. I looked at the boy again and I noticed he was looking back at me with soft eye's and a small smile which made my face turn a dark crimson and look away, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I knew him. But then it dawned on me and many memories started to flood in my head from swinging on the swings to drinking milkshakes by the river and then I knew who it was and I couldn't help, but gasp and say

"Dylan." Just as Nicholas let out a little hiss and said

"What do you think your doing here."
