Chapter 3: Max pov
We were about fifteen minutes into The Lion King when I started to get tired so I excused myself and went to my twin's and my room. Once I had entered and locked the door I stripped my clothes off and grabbed a silk nightgown. Usually I would never wear this but it was very comfy. I thought about how right as we started a movie Damien just had to remind us about parent visitation tomorrow afternoon. I was worried about if Jeb would notice me or not, I was hoping for not. But of course because I'm Maximum Ride nothing ever goes my way, ever. I walked into my bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair then went to bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was instantly asleep. I awoke to the annoying sound of two very annoying alarm clocks that were perched on both of our alarm clocks. I arose from my bed and pulled Aphrodite out of hers. She fell to the floor with a loud OOF. She quickly got off the floor as we both walked to our separate bathrooms to take a shower. When we both had gotten out and she had finished curling her hair she came into my bathroom, blow-dried it, and curled so that we were exactly the same. We both had to dry our wings and tuck them in our backs. She ended up picking out our outfits and they consisted of faded denim short shorts, blue flip flops, light blue tank tips with semi-see through white t-shirts. I just wanted to warn you that yes it was summer time. We went down to the little living area's kitchen where she made eggs and bacon with toast and peanut butter. When people first saw my twin's and my wings and marks they were in utter shock until finally we had to go to class. I happened to have all of my classes with Aphrodite so I never had a problem with getting lost. I decide to always sit next to her, mostly because all of the boys were checking us out and all of the girls were glaring.
"Hello class, have all of you met Maximum Ride?" asked Z as she stepped into the classroom. A few kids raised their hands timidly. "Yes John, do you have a question?" asked Z with a gentle smile.
"Umm, is she, umm, the girl on tv?" he asked in a scared voice meanwhile Aphrodite and I just smirked at the same time.
"Yeah I am, do you want to see our wings?" I asked gesturing toward my twin and I. Everyone nodded eagerly accept for the nerd herd who had already seen it. My twin and I stood up and extended our 20 feet long wings, the class gasped but my twin and I just smirked at each other. We curled our wing back up against or spines as we sat back down in our seats. A bunch more hands shot up in the air and as a High Priestess she had to answer them all. After all of the questions had been asked the bell rang and Aphrodite and I shot out of the room towards the horse stables. When we entered a kind looking woman was standing next to a horse that Z had said it's name was Persephone. I walked right up to the horse and started petting her nose. Her eyes closed in contentment as she nudged her huge head into my hands. When I looked up the class was standing there gaping at me like fish, well everyone but Prof. Lenobia and my twin.
"What's wring now?" I ask with a sigh.
"Persephone only ever let's Z, Lenobia, and I touch her." explained Aphrodite as she beamed at me. I rolled my eyes and started to walk back to stand by my twin, except for Persephone pulled the reigns from Lenobia's hands and followed me. I stooped and turned around as Persephone stuck her hear back into my hands. I grabbed her reigns and led her over to Lenobia. But as soon as I started to walk away Persephone followed. I ran over to the side of the field and the horse followed me still.
"What? Do you want me to ride you? Lenobia may I please ride her?" I ask. Lenobia nods her head in consent as I mount the horse. Persephone automatically starts running laps and doing jumps that were surely to the extreme judging by the groups gasps of amazement. After a couple minutes she slows down and stops so I can get off. I quietly dismount the horse and hang my head. The horse could have gotten hurt. "I'm sorry..." I say as I run off to my room and jump into bed. I can hear two five sets of feet running towards my door and the finally burst in after a few seconds. Standing in the doorway is Z, Stevie Rae, Stark, Aphrodite who had started making her way towards my bed and sat on the edge of it, and Lenobia.
"Hey, you're not in trouble, they just want to know if you have and affinity and I own part of this bedroom plus if you have an affinity that means so do I! And I should probably say that I was worried about you." she said with a generous smile. Everyone gasped, we immediately check to see what's wrong.
"What happened?" we yell in unison.
"Aphrodite was kind and caring!" exclaimed Stevie Rae.
"Yeah, so, she's usually nice to me." I explain. Their faces are a look of amazement. Oh boy, I am starting to wonder if my twin is nice at all.
