Here you go! A new chapter! And it's actually Friday! Sorry for typos, I'm having a writer's block, and can't think of anything creative!

P.S. This chapter contains some swearing!

Claimer: I do however own any characters not involved in the original Maximum Ride book series!

Fang's POV

The nerve of some people. Yes, I might have almost ran her over, and made her crash into a post. But she doesn't have to make a big deal out of it. I gave her a ride and~ what am I saying, I'm a jerk. But she didn't have to be so moody about it. One moment she's all sweet and nice, and then the next bam, she starts talking about making up my mind on my personality. Look who's talking. But on Monday, after that weekend, she had made it pretty clear she didn't want anything to do with me. For example, ignoring me, if eye contact was made, she would give me the stink eye, many, many more. I personally don't give a crap about her, but I can't help feeling guilty. Since will I almost killed her. I guess I do give a crap.

I sat down at lunch with one of my best buds, Ari (A\N Yes I know that in the original Max book's Fang and Ari hated each other, but I'm running out of characters from the original books to use. I don't want to use too many OC's.)

"Sup Man" Ari said.

"Hey" I sounded cold.

Ari raised an eyebrow. "You okay? You're not acting like yourself,"

"And how do I act exactly?"

He shrugged. "Cool I guess. You seem frustrated that's all."

"Bad weekend."

He nodded understandingly, knowing not to push me more. I took a bite from my pizza and looked up. Max and her friends (I just found out the guys are her brothers) entered the cafeteria. Max looking confident as ever. I looked away from her. I continued to eat my lunch, chatting with Ari, when I heard a bang. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw Max standing in front of Lissa (A\N A.K.A The Redhead Wonder) covered in food, and her tray on the floor. Lissa had on a fake apologetic look. The cafeteria turned quiet.

"Oh my gawd! I'm so sorry Max! I didn't see you there!" Lissa said, stifling a laugh.

Max looked back at her, her face darkening. Ella and Nudge quickly got up, and stood behind Max.

Max put up a sarcastic smile. "Aw don't worry about it Lissa. Accidents happen. Especially to the slutty bitches like you"

There was oh's in the background. Lissa dropped her smile.

"Excuse me?"

"Oops! I forgot, you're not used to being called that. I just thought it would be better, than saying this behind your back like everyone else does."

Lissa's face turned bright red.

"Why you little-" Lissa started but Max interrupted her by dumping lasagna remains on her head.

"Better!" Max smiled and made her way out the cafeteria. As soon as she walked out, everyone burst out laughing. Lissa flipped everyone off and shook of the food on her head, and ran to the bathroom, with her posse close behind. I couldn't help but smile myself.

Max's POV

Ella let me use her back up P.E close after the little lunch incident. Though it was kinda weird walking around in P.E. clothes, I thanked her for the clothes. My day was ruined. I was embarrassed in front of everyone, and I still smelled vaguely of lasagna.

"It's okay Max. She's just a skunk sack." Said Ella(Ella doesn't swear)

I smiled. I knew Ella was attempting to cheer me up, even though I insisted I was fine.

"C'mon. We're late for class already" I gave her a quick hug and went to my science class. The rest of the day was about whispers about me and Lissa's little incident. I met up with a Ella and Nudge after school.

"OMG Max!" Nudge said. "The whole school's talking about you. Even the Seniors!"

"I know" I shrugged "Not necessarily good news"

"Max! Are you kidding me?" Ella protested "You put Lissa in her place!"

"It's her fault. She's the one who knocked my tray over"

"Well" Ella started, but stopped. "Um Max, Fang's staring at you"

I hadn't told Ella and Nudge about the little incident that happened on Friday between me and Fang. They can't keep a secret.

"What?"

"Look behind you"

So I did. Sure enough Fang was 'talking' to Ari, but looking my way. Which reminds me.

"Hey, be right back" I told my friends, and made my way towards Fang and Ari.

Fang's POV

I was doing it again. I don't mean to stare at her. But as soon as she looked at me and made her way towards me, I thought I was in trouble.

But she didn't come to talk to me. She came up to Ari instead.

"Hey Ari" she said

"Sup"

"My mom said to ask your family if they wanted to come over for dinner tonight,"

"Uh sure, I'll ask my mom but I bet we'll go."

"Okay, my mom having one of those crazy cooking sprees, and I'm not looking forward on gaining weight"

Ari laughed. "Last time, I couldn't eat a proper meal for like a week!"

A car honked. Max looked behind.

"Ugh, Iggy. Gotta go. See ya tonight!" she said and ran, towards the parking lot, meeting up with her friends along the way.

I looked at Ari, dumb strucked.

"You know her?" I asked

"Uh ya, she's my cousin." he said coolly.

"Since when?"

"Um, since forever?"

I shook my head. "And you didn't say anything because?"

He shrugged. "You never asked"

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever"

Max's POV

That night my Aunt, Uncle, and my cousins came over. Ari, Angel, and Gaz. Angel and Gaz where Sophomores and twins as well. Twins ran in the family I guess.

Angel for some reason hates my guts. I've never done anything that I know of so far. But Angel lives up to her name in other ways. She dresses like an angel. She acts like an angel, except to me of coarse, and she just plain looks perfect. She has bright healthy blonde hair, The brightest of blue eyes. (But not quite as beautiful as Iggy's eyes)She has perfect flawless skin. I doubt she's ever had a zit in her life.

Gaz is well Gaz. His real name isn't Gaz of course but when he was little, he had a 'problem'. We used to call him Gazzy but we shortened it to Gaz. He still had his baby face, and was obsessed with science. Iggy and him where the bestest of friends, until my mom died, and Iggy became distant. Iggy hasn't talked about blowing anything up since, will that's how my mom died. Gaz knows better than to mention it. But Gaz did look an awful like his sister. Except they had totally different personalities and Gaz actually liked me.

While Ari, was will Ari. He's the blonde and green (his eyes are kind of grayish) eyed version of Fang. But Ari is really to get along with. But for some reason, Iggy hate's him. He says 'he's up to no good'. Whatever that means. But me and him rarely talk.

So there we were, sitting around the dining table. Me, Iggy sitting next to me on my right, and Jake sitting next me on my left. My mom and dad, sitting next to Iggy. Then Angel, Gaz, My Aunt Anne (A/N You see what I did there?) and Uncle John (A/N IDK!), then Ari, completing the circle, sitting next to Jake. We were eating, turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, and some chicken soup. With my mom's famous apple pie for dessert. We talked about, how the big move has affected us. And my aunt asked me about how it felt for having a permanent home. Since Iggy and I were always moving, now that my mom is a stay home mom, we don't have to move. I told her it's a nice change.

After dessert, the all the guys went to watch football (American football) in the living room, while us girls picked up the table. Oh stereotypes. Me and Angel kept quiet, while my mom and aunt chatted away. My aunt suddenly asked me how schools going.

I shrug. "Fine." Is all I say

Angel snorted. "That fight you had today, sure didn't seem fine to me."

Angel, that little

"Max? You got in a fight?" My mom asked, clearly shocked and concerned.

"It wasn't a fight" I protested

"She knocked your tray by accident, and you dumped lasagna on her head" said Angel

"Angel, shut up!" I said

But she didn't stop there.

"And you did swear at her, and embarrassed her in front of everyone" she finished, making me sound like the bad guy.

Did I mention, she's part of Lissa's posse? Angel's her second in command.

"Max! You did what" My mom said, not sounding happy.

"She knocked my lunch tray on purpose!" I explained

"But was in necessary to get her back?!"

"BUT-" I started.

"No buts! You're grounded for the month! No phone and no hanging out with friends after school! You hear me?"

"WHAT?" I yelped

"Absolutely no electronics!"

"Mom!"

"Max, go to your room."

"Please, Mom!"

"I said now!"

I looked over at Angel, who was trying really hard not to smile or laugh. I ran to my room, making the impression I was mad by stomping up the stairs, and slamming my door.

I lay on my bed looking at my blue ceiling. My whole room was a turquoise blue, except my closet which was a lavender purple. I got up from my bed and entered my closet. I looked behind my clothes that were hanging and found the secret door. I found out about when we first bought the house. It was a secret flight of stairs that led into the basement, which was recreated to become my music studio. That's why I made sure this was my room. I opened the tiny door, and crouched down, walking down the stairs. I opened the door at the bottom which opened into another closet in the studio.

I sat in front of my keyboard and started playing

(*I request you play this song right now!* Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia)

You shout it out,

But I can't hear a word you say

I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet

You shoot me down, but I get up

I took a deep breath.

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I closed my eyes.

Cut me down

But it's you who'll have further to fall

Ghost town and haunted love

Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones

I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium

I am titanium

I paused

Stone-hard, machine gun

Firing at the ones who run

Stone-hard as bulletproof glass

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium

I sat there for a while silent. I got up and went back up the secret stairs. I went to bed, falling asleep. If only I'd known I wasn't alone down there.

If only.

Okay this is Katherine from the future again going back and editing this story. I'm literally cringing as I do this. Just wanted to say that this story isn't like some musical thing and will involve a lot of singing. Just a few times through the story. Wow I wrote this over a year ago and it's so weird going back. Anyways, peace!
