After Fang had left, I composed myself and went back to finishing my history assignment. However, I still couldn't get over Fang's little overprotective brother act. He was never really like that before, so what was making him act like this now? Suddenly the sound of the garage door opening pulled me from my daze. Anne was home. I glanced at the clock on my nightstand and found that in was actually 5 o'clock. Anne was home late for some reason. The door opened downstairs and the sound of high heeled shoes clomping on the hard wood floor rang through the house.
"Hey kids!" She yelled from the bottom of the stairs. I didn't even make a move to get up from my comfortable position on the bed.
"Sorry I'm late!" She yelled as the clomping of her high heels became louder. Then a rustling sound of a plastic bag appeared, making my ears perk up.
I couldn't image what she was carrying. If it were groceries, she wouldn't be coming up the stairs right now. The rustling sound became louder and I knew that she was on her way to my room. I groaned loudly and closed my history book. The clomping sound stopped and was replaced by a light tap on my door.
"Max honey? Are you in there?" She said sweetly.
I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Yep, you can come in."
She opened the door smiling from ear to ear with a large plastic bad draped over her forearm. "Hi Max. How was school today?"
"Fine," I grunted as I looked at the bag.
"Good," She smiled and laid the bag down onto the bed. "Well, your school called and informed me that you have a dance tomorrow night."
I sighed once again and rested my head on my hands.
"Yeah, I just found out about it today too."
"The school also told me that it was going to be a formal dance, meaning that you have to dress up." She smiled even wider, if that was even possible.
"Yes."
Her eyes filled with excitement as she began to take out the mysterious item from the bag.
"Well Max, since it is formal, I believe you need a dress to wear. Now I know that you might not like the idea of me buying a dress for you, but I found the prettiest little dress that I believe will look beautiful on you."
I sat there looking at her in disbelief. I was expecting a pointless conversation with her about something stupid. I definitely didn't think that she would take it upon herself to buy me a dress already. I held my breath as she took the dress out slowly and raised it up beside her.
Though I hate to admit this, the dress was actually really pretty. It was made of a black silky material that looked smooth and shiny. The dress had a neckline that was shaped like a 'V' with two straps holding it up. From there, the material bunched up almost like tiny ripples until it reached the waistline. Under the waist, the material flowed gracefully down to just below the knees.
"So how do you like it Max?" Anne asked.
"It's, um, it's really pretty." I couldn't lie, the dress was beautiful.
"Great! I'm so glad you like it! Oh, I also got you a little sweater to go over your shoulders to cover your wings."
She them set the dress down and pulled out a thin aqua colored sweater.
"Wow, thanks." I said quietly, still blown away by the outfit.
"Well, you can try it on now if you'd like. I'm going to go and give Fang and Iggy their outfits. Iggy started dinner already, so hopefully it will be done in about a half an hour." Anne said.
I looked up at her and gave a small grin. "Okay, thank you."
She smiled back warmly and walked out of the room. Once I heard her walk away I jumped up and ran to lock my door. For some reason, I really couldn't wait to try on my dress. Once the door lock clicked, I ran over to the dress and held it up against me. It seemed like a perfect fit, so I quickly stripped off my clothes and carefully stepped into the soft material. It slid on easily over my hips and waist. I gently situated my wings so they were laying over the dress comfortably and I pulled on the straps. Next was the sweater, which fit just right and succeeded in covering my wings.
I took in a deep breath and walked to the mirror to see myself. It didn't look too horrible on me. Actually, it was really pretty.
So this was actually happening. I, Maximum Ride, am going to a school dance tomorrow. That's just weird.

Okay, SUCH A SHORT CHAPTER! I'm sorry. But next one is the dance and I think it's going to be really long, or split into two parts. I haven't decided yet. But it will be the dance! Yesss, I can't wait to write it.
And as for Break, I'm currently working on the next chapter. I am such an inconsistent writer. Bad me! It's been like, two flippin months since its last update! Ugh! So my writer's block is almost gone. I just have to fix all of the little kinks in the plot. There might also be some editing going on in the previous chapters. I'll let you know.
Okay so PLEASE REVIEW! I hope you like it and I'm going to write more soon. I'm sorry this chapter is so boring, but the dance will be long and some 'things' will happen. Okay, I'll shut up now.
Review and let me know what you think!
