Hello fellow readers! Our excuse for not updating is pretty lame and pathetic and I'm sure you'll hate us for it but we were just plain lazy and some personal things. Anyways! Thank you so much for all the reviews, favorites, and alerts, and a special dedication to FaxRideAllTheWay! We loved your comment and it really made us laugh! O, and by the way Fang's last name is supposed to be Ried not Reeder, typed it wrong, and I just realized it.

Chappie 6 (we've decided that chappies are so much better than regular chapters)
Lissa POV
I started hyperventilating, not believing what I had just heard. Me? And them? There is no way we were related. I mean, everything about us is different, my sense of style, her idea of what she thinks looks good, my fabulous looks, her lack of prettiness, and I could go on and on, but, for some reason, something held me back. I mean for sure, they were most likely thinking the same thoughts I was, and we shouldn't take out our anger on each other. It was after all our dad's fault, not ours. I know sometimes I may be shallow or full of hot air, but I can tell when somebody is stressed, and usually I push them even harder just so I can see them break down. But they weren't the only ones feeling like they might burst right now.
Max POV
As I was going to go on a rant about how this doesn't change anything between us, when my mom called us over and said it was time to start eating. At dinner it was extremely awkward and I kept seeing the flock sneak peeks at us making sure we weren't about to start pulling our hair out and screaming our heads off to the point where the neighbors would start calling the police. I mean, don't we deserve more credit than that?
Okay, maybe not, since I have done that before, but still! A couple times the adults tried to start a conversation between us teenagers and they ended up failing, for all of our replies were one word answers such as
- sure
-ok
- I don't know
- I don't care
But suddenly Iggy got this wild look in his eyes and I became very aware that he was going to do something either stupid, or funny.
"So Fang" Iggy said suspiciously, "checked out your office lately?"
"Uh, no. Should I?"
Quickly Nudge butted in and said, "No! I mean, if you want to you could, but we should probably be out of your reach when you do because you never know what offending vandalism you might find in there and then you might possibly take your anger out on us and stuff and we wouldn't want that because Ella, Max, and Lissa have been through enough already, although you wouldn't take your anger out on Lissa because she didn't do anything to your office but-"
At once we all screamed, "NUDGE!"
"Sorry"
"Wait. What did you say about my office?"
Immediately, he ran from the table while the flock exchanged looks of excitement and worry. Angel said, "3,2,1"
"OHMAWFREAKINGGOD! IM GOING TO WRING YOUR GUYS' NECKS!"
We all started cracking up and as we heard pounding footsteps coming near we laughed even harder when we saw how red Fang's face was. Bet he didn't expect that to happen!
I said, "Guys, I think now would be an appropriate time to exit the scene and RUN!"
Fang's POV
They freaking vandalized my office! it was horrifying! I got to see a close up of Gazz and Igs butts, and trust me that is NOT a satisfying thing to see. I was pounding down the stairs ready to beat the cheeze outta all of them, when i got to the last step of the stairs and fell, FLAT. ON. MY. FACE. I scrambled up quickly and ran after them trying to at least get to Gazzy. I wouldn't really hurt Angel.
After i chased them all around the block, i finally wore them out and found them climbing up a tree in the park. I climbed up the tree and screamed, "I'M GUNNA GET YOU GUYS!" i scared everyone and they all fell out of the tree. HaHa! I got them.
Max's POV
"Well, that went well," Iggy said as he held is arm close to his body. we had all fell out of the tree, and ONLY THEN, did Fang decide to stop chasing us. Everything was fine for us bunch of crazy kids ya'll!
Let us come back from flashback land and focus on the mission at hand.
How to turn off this annoying alarm clock without ruining it completely. If I ruin this one, it will be the 10th one in two weeks. I banged on the alarm clock super hard on one place hoping it was the snooze button, only to be dissapointed and left with yet another broken alarm clock. I groaned and sat up throwing the remains of my alarm clock away before showering and getting dressed. Today people of my highschool will see me wear dark blue jeans with black combat boots, a beige shirt that says, "Out of my Mind be back in 5 Minutes" on the front and on the back it said, "He always gets lost in thought because it's unfamiliar territory." next i did my hair... drumroll please... I left it alone to air-dry! Cue the applause!
-this is a line that skips the story to school!-
At school, the usual happened... NOT! Today in school, a kid actually bullied me. ME MAXIMUM RIDE! THE FEARLESS WAS BULLIED AND SAVED BY A FREAKING BLONDE HAIRED AND BLUE EYED HOTTIE! wait... hottie? i must be hallucinating from just realizing i was bullied today. Here's how it went down...
~~~FLASHBACK~~~
I was walking down the hallway when a boy around 3 inches taller than me pushed me into a set of lockers. Let me describe this dude, he had dirtyy blonde hair and leaf green eyes that sent shivers down my spine. He spat in my face, "WHAT A WASTE OF AIR! YOU IN THESE HALLWAYS SHARING THE AIR THAT I BREATHE WITH YOU AND YOUR LOSER FRIENDS!" oh great another one of those 'too good for everyone jocks'. but he did seem a little pudgy for a football player. Believe it or not, i had no words to say to this fellow! And I am the queen of words! I just stood there staring at him. Before I was able to kick him where the sun don't shine, he was fiercely pulled back by a strong arm. I looked up to see who my knight in shining armor (NOT) was. Since there are two guys that I do not care to learn the names of lets give them names. Guy 1 is the pudgy football player and Guy 2 is the one who is not actually a knight but just a loser in tin foil.
I looked at Guy 2 weirdly and asked, "Why are you covered in tin foil?''
He gave me an explanation as he punched Guy 1 in the groin and yelled at him to never talk to a girl like that again and then called him a crap head.
"Some weird guy named Iggy I think his name was dared me to try and do it to cook some whole grain toast on my body for him. He called it body toast."
I meant to say this in my head but accidentally said aloud, "Of course Iggy's the source of this. I think he was dropped on his head as a baby..."
Guy 2 looked at me wierdly and asked, "Huh?"
Then all of a sudden Iggy pops out of nowhere and screams, "HEY MAXIE-POO!" uggg not THAT name again. "It's. just. Max. Igtard." i ground out. Iggy ignored me and turned to guy 2 and asked, "Hey, Dylan are you done with my body toast?" oh, so his name is Dylan. Dylan pulled something rapped in tin foil to Iggy and said, "Here. I was on my way to give it to you, but found Sam over there trying to hurt Max." and guy 1 is named Sam. Hearing his nmae Sam got up and leaned on the lockers for balence. Iggy glared dangerously at Sam and they had a wierd stare off until Iggy finally said with round hand motions, "Yo dude, aren't you a little big for a football player?" Sam scoffed and replied, "Are you calling me fat?" Iggy responded fast, "No, Mr. Scale is calling you fat. I'm calling you Chubsy-Wubsy" Sam took a moment to think and then said, "Well at least i can grow chest hair!" You see Iggy gets personal about his chest hair so he screamed, "YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GROW CHEST HAIR, BUT YOU CANT GROW HANDSOME! IM HANDSOME, YOU NOT!" Then Iggy stormed down the hall grabbing both Dylan and my wrist as he left.
~~~~~~~END FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~
After school i raced home, did all my homework, and left a note for Mom and Ella that i was going to Iggy's place.
As cliche as it might sound i bumped into someone who was running on my way to Iggy's house. It was... Fangy-boy. Told you it was cliche! "Hey Max!" he said. "Oh hey." i responded. "Why so depressed Maxie?"
"Dont call me that you doo doo head."I said
"Why? Is somebody sad?" He said with a hint of a smirk in his voice.
"Leave me alone, unless you want a good hook punch to the head." I told him.
"Fine i will NOT leave you alone." Fang replied.
"If that was supossed to be a comeback, then you have rocks in your brain." I answered back.
"Does wittle Maxie have anger issues?" Said boy countered back.
I was getting annoyed, so I just kneed him where the sun dont shine and left him rolling on the ground in pain. Ya, im a mean person, but you guys reading are probably enjoying this so dont judge me. I ran the rest of the way to Iggy's house.
After a couple of hours of Ig and I playing an intense game of Mario Kart (Iggy and I act like 5 year olds when it comes to Mario Kart), Mrs. Griffiths came home and made dinner for us. Mrs. Griffiths looked like she just remembered something then said, "Hey, do you guys know anything about why i found Fang holding his groin in pain while walking home? I exchanges a glance with Iggy and we burst out laughing.
