Thank you everybody for your reviews! GO MATH! Moving on, this is Chapter 3 of We Found Love and I hope you like it! (Gosh, I sound like a radio station.)
Disclaimer: I did not write Maximum Ride, therefore I do not own it.
Chapter 3
Max POV
I don't cry easily. Or get angry, now that I think of it. So you can bet that I was pretty frikin furious if you heard my scream in Phoenix, Arizona from where you are right now.
"Whaatttttt?!" I yelled, fuming and more enraged than a stampeding rhinoceros, restraining myself from flipping over the table.
Fang's eyes just widened a fraction, which, I figured, was his way of screaming his lungs out.
Flashback
"Angel, Gazzy, Nudge, Ella, can you go outside?" Ms. Walker asked. "We need to... discuss things with Max and Fang."
"Awwwwww..." they whined, but they still trudged their way out the door. Except for Gazzy. In the end, Nudge had to drag him out of the room.
"Ok, Max, Fang, pleaseeeeee don't freak out when we tell you this," my mom pleaded.
Fang shrugged.
I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms, bracing myself for whatever they were planning to tell us.
Our moms took a deep breath and looked one another in eye and made one of those "secret-mother-agreements" that you always see.
"So, your fathers, who are not here, have decided," my mom said.
"Not us," Fang's mom added.
"Yes, they have decided that you two will get married."
Well that went down like a ton of bricks.
End Flashback
So that led to our current... problematic situation.
"How long have you been planning this?" I demanded.
My mother scrunched her eyebrows, thinking back.
"Say... eehh... 3 months?"
"WHATTTTT?!"
"Just cam do-" my mother started to plead, before I broke her off.
"Calm down? CALM DOWN?! I've just been told to get out of all things married to my enemy and you want me to calm down?" I raged. "Are you people nuts or something?"
By this time, my chair was overturned and I was about ready to rip somebody's head off.
My mom laughed nervously.
"I think it's time to go so we'll just," she dragged me out of the room and to the front door," talk to you later! Come on, Ella, we're leaving now!"
She pulled me out the door while Ella tried to block my flailing arms and feet.
"Bye, Max!" Angel cried cheerfully from the porch, waving goodbye to us. "Come back to play with us again!"
"...and that's what happened. Don't tell anybody though." I finished explaining, while I laid my head on my friend, J.J.'s, shoulder.
She sympathetically pet my head and brushed down my hair.
"Well, it could be worse. You could be forced to get married to Dylan, the pretentious, good-for-nothin' little..." J.J. said, trying to comfort me.
"Right now," I groaned, "even he's better than Fang."
J.J. looked at me in astonishment. "You must be really desperate."
"I am."
Then the bell rang interrupting our conversation.
"Whoops, see ya', Max. Ms. Serio won't let me hear the end of it if I'm late for class," J.J. said, looking down at my black watch (AN: I also like black watches. Have I mentioned that before? I don't think so. I think I said backpack... oh well. Just figure I make a lot of things back because I like the color.). "Bye."
She grabbed her backpack and waved a hand before walking out the door to go to her Math class.
I sighed. "4th period... that would be... PE."
I groaned. PE. Yet another class I had with Fang. Not like I didn't have a class where he wasn't in it.
I usually like PE, even if Fang wasn't in it. I usually was the one who made up most of the girl's population's strength, not to brag or anything, so it was fun beating up the boys. But now after the... situation that had occurred, I was dreading going to the class.
'Maybe coach'll let me go this one time...'
Of course, he didn't.
"Max."
"Nick."
Those were the first words that we said to each other when our English teacher paired us up to "get to know each other better in the middle of the school year." Because I was the only one who didn't fawn over Fang, I was paired up with him. If only she knew about our certain little situation.
"So... this is a grade."
"Yeah."
"So we have to record stuff down."
"Yeah."
"So let's start."
"Yeah."
"What the fnick, say something else!" I nearly shouted.
"Sure."
"Ohmigod, this will take a while..."
"Yeah."
"WHAT?! WHYDIDN'TYOUTELLUSTHATYOUTWOWEREGETTINGMARR-"
I slapped a hand over Nudge's mouth before she let the entire world know about the forced engagement and looked around to see if anybody was staring.
Of course, the entire cafeteria had grown quiet and was now staring at us, me staring cautiously around and a hand thrown over a squirming Nudge.
"Nothing here, peeps! Go back to eating your lunch!" I announced nervously, waving my hands, laughing nervously.
One by one, the people started to go back to what they were doing before and the conversations built up again.
"Whew, that was a close call. And Nudge," I faced the blushing girl, "try to be quiet for once!"
"Impossible," the entire table chorused.
"Hey!" she protested. "I can be quiet!"
"No you can't," we all said again in sync.
"Thanks for the support," she said sarcastically.
Before we could respond, a dog-killing shriek filled the cafeteria.
"Fangy!" she, no, it called.
We all groaned, got up, threw our lunch away, and headed outside before Lissa could reach us in her killer heels.
"I'm home, Mom!" I called, setting down my keys on the counter top and throwing my bag on the couch.
No answer.
"Mom?"
Still no reply.
"Ok... I guess she's still at work then," I said with a shrug.
I walked to my room and shrieked at what I saw.
All my things were gone. What do I mean my gone? Vanished. Disappeared. Nowhere to be found. That gone.
The only thing that was left behind was the walls, door, and windows. Oh, and a note lying in the middle of the floor.
A note.
My chance of knowing where my belongings were.
I quickly grabbed it and opened it, almost tearing it.
Dear Max:
You might have noticed that all of your stuff have been removed from your room. Well, used to be room. Anyway, Anne and I have decided to buy a house for you two! We've already moved all of your belongings and it is now at the following address: **** Something Street. I have attached a credit card to the back of this note and $1,000 are on it. We will test this idea out for one month so if you need any more money just call me! Love, Mom :)
Wait. What?
Finished Chapter 3! Sorry I got a little off topic for a while... Anyway, I might update on Sunday (hint hint) if I get at least 5 reviews. If not, then I'll update on Wednesday as usual (it's a promise). R&R! :)
