Hey guys...it's been a while. I'm sorry I didn't update. There are actually a couple of reasons why. The first reason was because the device I typed this up on, got confiscated from me... I have it back now...which you can probably tell...
Second, I'm really not that into Maximum Ride anymore. A few months ago, I would have gasped if I heard my self say that...but now, my obsession has moved on to BONES =D
I'm dedicating this to my bestie (dear god, I sound like a mega girlie girl..) you are reading this, I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH! I miss begging you for oranges at lunch. I also miss just goofing off with you for like 6 hours a day. I miss telling you blonde jokes like five times every hour. I miss getting your special smirky look everytime someone would come mear us. I miss getting threatened after I make some inside joke. I miss our constant word battle. And the list goes on my friend/sister :)
and the sad thing is...I live a mile from you and see you every weekend..
There's a lot of inside jokes in this chapter, so it might seem weird... And random... Some of this is also based on true events...
Disclaimer: I'm 5'2, a girl, and call Canada 'Canadia'... Maybe JP calls Canada 'Canadia', but yeah...oh, you know what. I disclaim rights to these characters. Blah. :)
I also don't own the Lion and the Lamb duo. Some people might know who I mean. ;)
Max P.O.V.
I stood there, my eyes bugging out of their sockets, as I stared at the wicked witch. As I looked at her, I couldn't help but think that it was my reflection I was staring at that showed what I would look like in a parallel universe, and not an individual.
I noticed that her identical chestnut colored hair, which was shining red at the moment, was pulled into a messy pony tail. My hair on the other hand, was let down in loose waves.
She was wearing a similar type of tank top as me, hers a blood red color, and mine an olive green shade. Her jeans were torn at the knees, and there were what looked like stars drawn with sharpie on the right leg. She had white one star converse, the left shoe having zebra striped laces, the right with regular black laces.
My jeans on the other hand were dark washed skinny jeans, with no sharpie marks. For foot wear I was wearing black all-star converse with plain white shoe laces. Ella had tried to force me into wearing pink flats before we left our home, to come here, but I held my ground, even against the bambi eyes!
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." Maya stated snarkily towards JJ who's mouth hung open, starring back and forth between Maya and I.
JJ shook her head as though shaking a thought out of her mind. "Sorry, it's just you guys look like twins!" She exclaimed, clearly amazed with our facial similarities.
I inhaled a deep breath, a natural reaction from me when someone mentions how identical my cousin and I look.
"Don't remind me." I groaned out loud, hating the fact that I even shared the same DNA as the witch.
I turned to Maya who was still seated on my bed, her sneakers leaving scuff marks on the bedding. "Get your butt off my bed." I told her, snapping my fingers in a movement that was telling her to scram.
"Woof." She replied sarcastically, her similar brown eyes rolling from left to right. She stayed seated on the bed.
"Oh, are you trying to communicate to your kind?" I asked snidely, as I placed my right hand on my hip. Most of my weight was now placed on my right leg.
"Nope actually, I was trying to communicate with yours. I was trying to tell them that I found their leader. " Maya retorted in the same matter. Just to bother me more, she switched her position to sitting cross legged on my bed.
I could feel my left eye twitching, causing her to smirk the only smile the devil would have.
"Is there something in your eye there, oh dear cousin of mine?" Maya questioned in a what was supposed to be 'innocent' tone. Well, if you got one look at her face, there was definitely nothing innocent about her.
"No, but there's about to be something in your eye, if you don't get off my bed!" I fumed, my nails were now digging into my palms.
Maya batted her eyes in an innocent manner , "Actually, this belongs to the school." Maya corrected in a smart-alecky way. She flashed me one of those creepy news anchor smiles.
"That's true, but I was in here first." I bickered.
"You know what they say; finders keepers, losers weepers. You Max, are the loser. I'm the winner. It's like how it usually is." Maya retorted.
"Says the girl who got her butt whooped in a fist fight; by me!" I practically screamed, my arms were flying in all directions now.
"I won!" Maya yelled, abruptly standing on her feet, now as angry as me.
"No, I won!" I exclaimed, jabbing my pointer finger in my direction.
"I won!" Maya screamed with force, her eye lids were dropping into a death glare.
"Would you two shut up! Gosh, I feel like your mother. I barely even know you guys!" JJ exclaimed, while rubbing her head. She looked as though she had a head ache.
"Hey, it wasn't my fault; blame green face over there." I jutted out my thumb in Maya's direction.
"Yeah, well my face is probably green from having to see your ugly face!" She rushed.
"Yeah, well my face is identical to your face! So, if my face disgusts you, then what happens when you look in a mirror Sherlock?" I asked snidely. Maya's eyes showed flaming hatred towards me. My eyes probably looked just like Maya's looked, but my hatred was directed towards her.
"Guys stop! I seriously feel like your mother. If you guys keep acting like this, I'm going to have a head full of grey hair by next Tuesday." JJ proclaimed, while walking over to her bed.
I could vaguely hear JJ mumble something, but I wasn't to sure since it was as low as a whisper. She had said something like "Next thing you know, you two will be throwing scissors, and any sharp objects you can obtain, at one another." That actually wasn't such a bad idea.
After a few moments of Maya and I staring one another down, I deciding to save my friends sanity and be the bigger person for once.
"You know what? Just keep the bed." I stated through clenched teeth.
"Her germs have probably infected the bed already." I mumbled as I went to where my luggage was moved to by Maya. Eh, I can be the bigger person next time.
Maya grinned triumphantly and fell back down to the bed. Poor bed.
The three of us stayed in silence for a few minutes. JJ and I were unpacking our clothes, and placing them into the drawers and the closet, while Maya sat on the bed, smacking her gum. I swear she did that just to bother me.
I was tempted to go over there and slap her back to make her spit the gum out, but I stayed cool. I absentmindedly stared at the wooden bunk bed for a few minutes, and was brought back to reality when I felt a searing pain in my palms. I looked down to see that I had sunk my nails into my palms out of anger. I brushed of my palms on my jeans, and continued to unpack in silence.
I stormed out of the dorm room less than ten minutes later. Anger, and frustration were probably rolling off of me in waves, considering how everybody peeled out of the way from me. I stomped down the beige colored stairs, and shoved the door open. A loud slam echoed throughout the center, causing everyone in hearing distance to jump and halt their conversations. I felt as though a hundred pairs of eyes were watching me in alarm. I didn't turn, I was to busy coming up with a speech I was going to direct to some special people.
I had finally reached the prestine glass door that signafied you were about to enter boy land. I tugged the handle open, and letting my grasp fall as I stepped through the barier, but letting it go in a way that it shut with a loud 'bang'. Everybody in the halls stopped whatever they were doing to stare at me. Some heads popped out of dorm rooms to see what the abrupt silence in the hall was about. I ignored the glances, and swiftly headed up the stairs. I noticed that the beige tiling was a little bit darker then the one in the girls dorm. This one seemed to have a layer of dirt covering the original coloring. I guessed that this building was probably a little bit older than the building I was going to live in for the next year.
Fortunately, I wasn't greeted in the same manner that I had been greeted on the first floor. Some guys did stop to stare. A few glances were a little uncomfortable (if you know what I mean), but I payed no attention to their probing eyes. If this were any normal day, I probably would have punched them for eyeing me in that manner. But I had a mission I refused to lose focus of.
I opened the wooden door to room 201 with so much force, that whatever was on the otherside of the door came crashing down. I looked at the ground to notice that the item was a framed picture of Bella and Edward. A very noticible crack now ran from the glittering vampires face, trailing a little bit to the crazy humans shoulders, and then breaking off into a different more pronounce one that led to the bottom of the photo.
"My poster!" A guy voice cried. I looked up to see the voice belonged to Iggy. My face positioned into what I assumed was probably a questioning glance, and hopefully not that stare that came along with 'Oh gees, did someone just shove me into the sewage?' Iggy then began to cough into his balled up fist.
"I mean," he started in a much deeper voice. "My sisters poster." He stressed the word 'sister'.
"Okay.." I stated in a tone that was normally used in moments like this. Iggy knelt down to where the poster was, and proceeded to pick up the remains of the poster. The glass was still in one piece, but with the way it was cracked, it would be unusable. He gently removed the poster from the frame and set it down on his bed. He took the ruined frame, and set it outside of the closet, which was close to the window.
"What's going on in there?" I heard a very familiar voice say. I turned to the direction of where Ari was sitting in front of small work table. His laptop was in front of him, and the face of the woman that gave birth to us was centered on the screen. Suddenly remembering why I had come in here in the first place, I stomped up to where the laptop sat, shoving Ari out of my way in the process. A little yelp came out of his mouth. He apperantly was not expecting me to litterally shove him out of his seat.
"Max!" My mother scolded, seeing me shove her baby boy down to the carpeted floor.
I rolled my eyes at her tone. I helped Ari up, who looked a little flustered.
"I'm fine!" He announced before she could launch into a string of questions making sure he was indeed fine. She gave me a dissaprroving look. I shrugged back a reply.
"What are you doing in here anyway?" Ari questioned. His brows were furrowed.
I ignored my brother, and spoke directly at my mother. "What's she doing here?" I questioned through gritted teeth. I put enough emphasize on the word 'she' to break a bridge in half.
"She's going to school." My mother replied nonchallantly. She knew who I was talkign about since I had used the term 'she' to describe my cousin since I was about 6. Well, actually, at first she was refferred to as 'it', but my mom wasn't to thrilled about that name.
"Why couldn't she go to school, in gee I don't know, anywhere but here?" I fired back, sarcasm imbedded into my voice.
"Because your aunt and uncle thought it was the best option for her." She replied back the middle of her response, she let her reddish-black hair out of the pony-tail it had been confined in. Letting it tumble in delicate, and natural waves just a little bit below her shoulder.
I took a closer look at my mother. He eyes looked weary, and dark colored bags stood out from her normally smooth, tan skin. her eye lids were little tighter then they normally would. I noticed that in the background was a large glass window, with the view of airplanes from left to right. To the right of her was a door with the sign 'Gate A48' above it.
"Aren't you supposed to be on a plane to Italy?" I inquired, deciding to drop the cousin subject, for now.
My mom's face turned into a grimace. "The planes been delayed. We're not to sure how much longer we have to be here." She reported.
Before I can reply, the dorm room opens, revealing JJ.
"Max, we've got a problem."
Cliffy XD What do you guys think is the 'problem'?
