Don't own Maximum Ride.

Today we are being forced to go on a field trip to the white house. They say its to reward us, but if they really wanted to reward us they'd take us to the spa, or the mall, or just let us stay home.

I walk up to to Nick, he's sitting next to his brother, Jeff. Ugh. I go over push, Jeff out of the way and sit down, practically on his lap. Yeah, that's right, I pushed a blind orphan. Well news flash for you people. I ain't no Mother Tereasa people.

"Hey there," I say flirtatiously.

"Leave me alone, Lissa," he sighs.

This takes me aback. Why would anyone want me to leave them alone? He should be honored that I'm using my time on him! I go ahead and sit down next to him anyway. He just sighs and rolls his eyes. The blind dude, Jeff, goes over and sits by the stinky eight year old. They start talking about making bombs and stuff. Blind people can't cook, so how can they build bombs?

"So, did you hear that Kelly Barbra is dating Matt Hana? They are sooo not good together. And I heard that someone heard that someone saw someone telling someone that they heard someone saw Carolina cheating on Zack with that French exchange student, Henri! I don't blame her though, he is, like, super cute! Oh! And Nancy Bone and Shirley Prinstemple weren't invited to Bianca Hart's party! They must be, like, sooo unpopular now," I ramble on.

"Worse than Nudge," Nick mutter.

Who the heck is Nudge? Oh well! IDC! I talk to him about all the juiciest school gossip. This school has more drama than he's ever even heard of his whole life! I know he loved it, even though he had his iPod on the entire time listening to this super loud punk rock music, but there was no way he couldn't have herd me; I was practically screaming in his ear.

When we arrived at the White House tons of kids were taking pictures of it I just linked my arm through Nick's. I couldn't let him run away! He looked irritated, and it seemed like he mouthed 'Help Me' to his sister, Shane maybe. But I must just be seeing things again. After all, my therapist did say the hallucinations might come back. If they get too bad, though I might have to stay with my mom in the fluffy, yellow padded room. I might even have to live there permanently when I grow up!

Okay. So. Back on topic. We were walking through the gift shop, my favorite part, when his sister came over to us. She'd been giving me the evil eye ever since I kissed Fang and she didn't seem like someone who I wanted to be on her bad side; so I decided to play it sweet.

"Hi. I'm Lissa, you must be," I faltered for a minute racking my brain for her name. Ah Ha! I got it! "Max."

She blatantly ignored me. Can somebody say rude?

She looked straight at Nick, not even acknowledging my presence.

"F-Nick. We've got an emergency. I can't find Ange- I mean Ariel anywhere!" she told him.

"I'll help you look for her," he nodded.

"Anything to get away from the she-devil," he grumbled.

They went to search for Ariel. They confuse me. If my sister was missing I'd be singing, Halleluigah! Not looking for her! A few minutes later an adorable little girl with blond ringlets a big blue eyes, presumably Ariel, came out holding the presidents hand. I guess I can kind of see why they would look for her. She is cute, my sister's a toad. She has hair like spaghetti, muddy brown eyes, and super thin lips. How did she get to meet the president of the United States? I've asked, like, a bagillion times before and they always told me no, and she just waltzes in here and holds the president's hand? Her family must have connections! All the more reason why I must make Nick mine.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Sorry for the wait, I've had major writers block lately. Please review. If you have any ideas for the next one, please PM me, or write a review telling me!
