Wow, I haven't updated in a long time! I had to delete Danger, I apologize if you liked it. I thought the writing was mediocre, and there really isn't a point in having a sequel when the story before was deleted.

Disclaimer: Don't own, never will own.

I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING!

Max (Lumina) POV

"Okay, so talk to me. You're wasting precious time here, girls," I replied, being quite hostile. Blondie scoffed while Red just flipped her hair. Obviously, nobody's talked to these two like that.

"Look, newbie. You don't talk to us like that or do you cling onto Nick and James," Blondie hissed. Ah, I was right. Soon enough, Blondie and Red are gonna form some kind of fan club for Nick and James. You know, unless they already have.

"Who says? This is a free country," I stated.

"I say since I'm the Queen of this school," Red sneered. "You probably know me already, but since you're new, I'll introduce myself. I'm Lissa Taylor, and the blonde is my best friend Brigid Dwyler."

"I really care," I deadpanned. Brigid scoffed, and Lissa took a step forward.

"This is the last straw. Either you listen to us or-"

"Or what?" I flicked my black bangs out of my face, clearly showing my eyes in a full-blown glare.

"Or-or we'll tell Nick and James! Yeah, that's what we'll do. Then we'll see how famous you are among them," Brigid said, her shoulders shaking and cowering in fear.

"Please. Do whatever. I could seriously care less about them and what they think. So if you'd excuse me." I passed the both of them and went back to the classroom.

"You're going to regret this! You'll regret ever showing your face at Quinn Willow High!" I heard Blondie and Red screech after me as I left. Sigh. Idiots- can't live with them and can't live without 'em.

"So... What was up with them?" James asked when I was spotted in the doorway.

"Oh, nothing really. Just wanted me to stop talking to you guys," I shrugged casually, as if this happened everyday.

"You didn't agree, did you?" Nick asked me. I gave him the 'Are-you-stupid?' look. He nodded since he now understood.

"So, Lumina, why'd you transfer here in the middle of the school year?" James asked doubtfully.

"Complicated. Don't wanna talk 'bout it." I shrugged, brushing off the question. Nick had narrowed his eyes at me- must be getting suspicious.

"Okay," James drawled. "I can literally feel the tension." I stared at him for a while and started to chuckle.

"You idiot." I was full out laughing now, and the boys stared at me for a long time. Then James cracked a grin, and Nick had a smirk.

-Time Skip After School-

"Max, I am your father!" My earpiece rang. Yes, that stupid line from Star Wars is my ring for my dad. You could hear cackling on the other line when I picked up.

"Yes, O Demon Highness?" I answered.

"I cracked a code," my dad replied.

I blinked with confusion. I had no idea what this guy was talking about. "What?"

"That means that I've got some new info for you," he sighed.

"Oh, good. What is it?" I asked, now interested.

"Well, if you'd let me talk, I'd tell you," he said.

"Just get on with it, old man," I irritatingly stated.

"Fine. Party pooper. You're absolutely no fun. Complete opposite of your brother; so serious," I heard him mutter to himself, probably intending for me to hear.

I rolled my eyes. "What's the 'big news'?"

"I figured out how you'll know which kid it is. You remember, the gold heart ya gotta steal. 'Member? You 'member."

"Quit the act and just tell me." I grew weary and tired of his joking.

"Again, completely boring. Anyway, you know that necklace you wear? The silver one?"

Of course I knew. How could I not? It was on my neck, after all. "Yes."

"Well, the blue quartz jewel pendant starts to glow when you come near the kiddo. That ought to be a big clue," my dad informed. That's some good stuff to know.

"Thanks for telling me, Dad. You're actually of use this time around."

"Of course I am, Maximum. Well, see ya around." And then he hung up on me. Ugh, I hate it when he uses my full name.

Guess I just gotta walk around near kids and wait for the jewel to glow. Man, I can't wait to get over with this mission and show my dad's family what I'm made of. Gotta wait till the jewel starts to get all radiant and shiny-like.

Man, how long'll that take?

Guys, sorry about the short chapter. But I promise I'll make the next one longer. I just felt that I had to update today cause you guys were waiting for so long.

... I don't really like this chapter that much. Kinda boring and plain, if ya ask me. Oh well.

Like it? Hate it? Love it? R&R!
