Chapter 3- Dreams
Ok this chapter has some of Max's memories, it was originally going to have all of the flock's memories but it would have been extremely long… so each member of the flock will have their own chapter. ENJOY!
OK… on with the story!
***Flashback 3 years back from senior year, same day at the school***
-MAX'S POV-
My whole mind had just gone into flashback mode. I mean seriously there was not one moment of my life that did not flash through my head.
My life was literally flashing before my very eyes. God I hope I'm not dying…
But I did not get it; my life was going in reverse. Like starting with yesterday and going back, weird.
I saw everything. From Fang leaving to me dumping mac and cheese on his head, from me practically strangling Angel in Africa to me changing her dippers at the E house, I saw everything. Every moment with the flock, to going back to the school. The last thing I saw was being at the school, in a cage next to Fang and Iggy across from us. Then my mind just felt kind of blank. Empty.
Soon the emptiness was filled with a room, a room I had seen before… but could not remember where with a young women. She was holding something in a bundle of blankets. I was looking up at her, she sat on the couch and I looked down, she was holding a little baby wrapped in pink blankets.
"Mama, who's this?" A two-year-old version of me said. My hair was a light brown, split down the middle in two low pigtails; I sat on my knees on the couch and leaned over to look at the baby.
"This is your new baby sister." The woman who I'm guessing is my mom said.
"What's her name?"
"Ella."
"Hi, Ella."
"Shhh. Max let her sleep."
"M'kay mommy."
***** Next memory…
My 5th birthday party.
"Maxie!" A four-year-old boy yelled. He looked so familiar, he had strawberry blond hair, his eyes were a light blue, or a grey (I could not quite tell), he smiled at me and ran over holding a package wrapped in blue and green stripped paper, with one of those sticky bows on top.
"Mommy, its James, James is here!" James (aka Iggy), set the package down and ran over to hug me. I hugged him and smiled hugely, I was missing my bottom front two teeth.
"Happy Birthday Maxie!" He said letting go of me. Ella came waddling out of the house and into the backyard, smiling at us.
I had 5 friends there, not counting Iggy. One of the girls ripped a juice box out of a boy's hand. She had red hair in two high-pigtails (aka Lissa), the boy had light blond hair that fell in front of his eyes (aka Sam), a little girl came over to the blond haired boy and stuck her tongue out at the red head, and she had brown hair that was pulled into a loose braid (aka Tess).
There were two other kids. One girl, with pretty black hair pulled into a low neat braid, (aka Kate) and then the other girl with long blond hair (aka Star) were sitting off to the side playing with some dolls.
"Ok everyone lets open presents." My mom called. We cheered and ran to the picnic table. I smiled at her.
*****Next memory…
Weekend at the park (10 years old)
"Iggy! Come swing with me!" I called. Iggy ran over from where he had been sitting, and jumped on to the swing next to me.
"I bet I can get higher than you!" He yelled as he pumped his feet.
"No way!" I started pumping my legs harder smiling occasionally at Iggy.
We were swinging for a few minutes and Iggy and I were neck and neck. Ig smiled at me and jumped off. He rolled in the sand, laughing.
I laughed too, but did not let go of the swing.
"Come on Maxie! What are you scared?"
"Stop calling me Maxie! It was funny when we were little but now you know I hate it!"
"Don't try changing the subject and just jump! It's so fun; it feels like you are flying!"
"Well… Ok. But if I get hurt, I blame you."
"Don't worry!"
I let go of the swing at the highest point. I landed hard on the sand hearing something snap under me. I cried out, my ankle hurt.
"Max!" Iggy ran over to me and I looked up at him, fighting back the tears. I was holding my ankle. My mom ran up and looked at my ankle.
The first time I had ever broken a bone.
*****Next Memory!
First day of middle school, 7th grade
"Igster! Come on! Back to school today!" I yelled, walking into his house. He came down the stairs with blue jeans on, and a black shirt. He smirked at me.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me "Igster"? I mean seriously." We walked out of his house and started down the street.
"As soon as you stop calling me "Maxie" I'll stop with calling you, Igster."
"Yeah like that will ever happen… Maxie." He did not look at me but he was smiling; I was giving him a death stare. Hey at least he was not calling me Maxine… that's my full name.
We walked in silence until a bouncing red ponytail came into view.
"Oh no." I mumbled under my breath, Iggy frowned slightly.
"Hey Max! Hey James!" Lissa called. Meeting us halfway to the bus stop, she threw her arms around me, and then hugged Iggy.
Iggy and I mumbled a hello as she hugged us. We all walked together, I wanted to shoot myself right there, Iggy probably felt the same way and Lissa talked and talked about how "Unfair life is." this girl would now know unfair in a million years.
She is a spoiled brat, who also just happens to be the biggest slut at our school. And why does she hang with us, you ask?
I have been asking myself the same thing for years.
Our bus pulled up and we got on, Sam waved us towards the back, our little group had sat back here ever since we all started taking the same bus.
It was Me, Iggy, Sam, Tess, and Lissa. Our other friends in our little clique Kate and Star went to a catholic school. I sat down in one seat across from Sam, Iggy sat with me, Lissa sat behind Sam, and Tess always sat by Sam when she gets on at the next stop.
We all talked about how our weekend was and Iggy finished his Social Study's homework.
*****Next Memory…
Last day 8th grade year
I slammed my locker shut.
Ugh, only one more day of this crap. I thought as I made my way down the hallway
Someone came up to me and took my hand, I smiled at Iggy.
No we are not dating! No matter what anyone tells you, he had been my best friend for as long as I can remember.
Together we walked to algebra our last class we will ever have in middle school.
We also had that class with Tess and Sam. I was happy the one class that all of us had together… without Lissa. We walked in and sat down, I sat by Tess and Ig took his place in front of me and next to Sam.
Yep this year was a good year, but I am excited it is over, the only part I am sad about is that over the summer I am moving to go live with my dad.
I was not looking forward to it, but right now I just wanted to focus on my life here, and my super friends.
I smiled at them, I had known these guys ever since I was like 2. We did everything together, Iggy had to be my best friend. I had known him the longest and I feel like I can tell him anything, we do the craziest things together but it is fun.
Yes he is totally perverted but he will always be my best friend. No matter where I am or what we are going through.
I hope you guys enjoyed it!
