I'm sooooooo sorry that I haven't updated in forever. First was my birthday, then exams, then I had to go out of state so I wasn't allowed to be on the computer for that long, and now I'm getting back in the swing of school and testing. Again I'm soooo sorry that you had to wait for this update.

"Max! Max! Get up! You lazy butt!" Ella yelled hitting me with a pillow.

"Go away," I mumbled.

"No!" she yelled back, hitting me with the pillow again.

"Urge. Fine!" I snapped, knowing she wouldn't go away. "Get out so I can get dressed!" She ran out the door laughing. I quickly found some black clothes and grabbed a few errrr . . . extra gadgets. I slowly dragged myself down the stairs, half asleep.

I sat down and stared at the table. It was quiet and peaceful; I could almost sleep when a loud bang sounded from behind me. I jumped about ten feet and spun around to see Ella, grinning with a couple of pans.

"You little twit!" I got up, fully awake now and chased her around the house until mom said breakfast was ready. When I went in the kitchen, mom looked surprised to see me up, let alone fully awake.

"Ella woke me up at . . .?" I trailed off questionly at Ella.

"Five thirdly A.M.," she answered happily. I groaned.

"I may not be a morning person but why are you getting me up that early?" I asked irritated.

"Cause I wanted to," she answered still happy. "And we have school today if you forgot."

"Now why would I forget something like that?" I asked. "I don't want to go but, unfortunately I have to."

"Alright, alright girls. Eat your breakfast and get ready," Mom said. "Oh and Max, Ella's riding with you."

"What!" I yelled, dropping my fork.

"Ella's starting high school this year and since you go, you can take her," Mom said, getting a cup of coffee.

"But-but-"

"No buts. You're taking her and that's it," Mom said, walking to the door. "I have to go to work. I'll be home after school. Bye, love you," she said, grabbing her keys and was out the door before I could stay anything.

I finished my food and stared at Ella. "What?" she asked, looking uncomfortable.

"Nothing. I'm going to go so if you want a ride, hurry up," I said. This was so . . . I'm lost for words. As I opened the door to go out Ella ran up.

"You could wait," she complained.

"Nope," I said. I walked out to the garage to stop, stunned. A new black car was sitting in fornet of me with a bow and a note.

Max,

I know that your birthday isn't for a few weeks but this is a early present.

Love,

Mom

P.S. Don't blow it up. Love you.

"Wow," Ella breathed, stunned as well. I chuckled at her expression before taking the bow off and climbing in . As we drove I noticed that it was so much smoother than my last one.

When we pulled up at the school everyone stared, or course. As we parked and were about to get out, Ella turned me, desperately.

"Why is it, that everyone stares at the new kids?" she pleaded. "I don't like it when they stare."

"Nobody likes it when others stare and as for the new kids part . . . that's all they have to do," was my oh-so-smart answer. "Come on."

We got out of the car, Ella looked about ready to run inside, and I glared at the people until they looked away.

"Let's go before I accidently hit someone," I said to Ella.

As we walked up to the main building a boy stepped in front of us. "Hi, you must be new here. I could show you the place," he said, looking me up and down.

"No. Not now, not ever," I said in a threatening voice. I grabbed Ella's arm and dragged her up to the main building.

"Max! Ella!" I looked over my shoulder and smiled when I saw Iggy running up with Fang walking.

"Hey Iggy, Fang. Do you think, that you could, maybe show us around cause I don't trust anyone," I said, glaring at the other people that were staring again.

"Just say you need help," Iggy said smiling.

"I don't need help. . . I just don't need to e late to class," I said.

"She won't say it, so I will. We need help so we won't get lost," Ella said. I growled at her before stomping to the office, muttering under my breath.

At the desk was a young lady with blue eyes and black hair.

"Hello. How may I help you?" she asked kindly.

"Hi. My sister and I are new here," I stated.

"Okay," she smiled at me before going to a cabinet. "What's your name dear?"

"Maximum Martinez and my sister is Ella Martinez," I said, board.

"Okay sweetie," she said. I was suppressed a growled as Ella walked in.

"I'm taking care of it," I said just as the lady came back.

"Here you go. I want you to have each of your teacher's to sign this and give it to me at the end of the day. Name is Mrs. Drew and I hope you have a good day," she said, with a cheery smile on her face.

"Thanks," I said before grabbing Ella's arm and all but dragged her out. "Here's yours. I have to go to class," I said and turned around to almost run into a wall. No, not a wall, a Fang. "What?"

"Class," he said.

"I have Mr. Vince, Social Studies," I said, looking at me schedule.

"Same. Follow," he said and started to walk away.

"Wow, two words. Is that a new record?" I joked. He just ignored me but I didn't mind. He has a nice voice, I thought but quickly shook it away.

Iggy ran up to me which caused even more people to look at me. "Get ready for school to start," he said, smiling evilly. "Because I don't think it will be unforgettable first day."

Again, I'm soooooooo sorry that I haven't updated. If I could I would have. And thank you to all of you that have been patient with me. I'll try to update soon but I can't tell you when I can. I understand if you don't want to review but reviewing would be nice.
