Chapter 7

Max POV

The ride to school was longer than expected and very loud. I ended up riding in the back of Iggy's Jaguar with Angel and Nudge. Ella sat in the passenger seat up loving the fact that she wasn't wedged between two motor mouths.

"And then he totally smiled at me and he did that totally cute hair flip thing he does! It was so cool and I could see his dreamy blue eyes. I cannot believe I actually saw him!" Nudge exclaimed loudly and Angel squealed eagerly. I groaned and slammed my head back on the seat. Iggy laughed and leaned his head back in the seat.

"Hey Max be happy were at school!" I literally darted out of the car as fast as possible, so fast I slammed into Fang who had parked his car next to ours and was outside the door waiting.

"A Bit eager to get out of the car?" He snickered smirking. A blush crept up my face and I looked away, stepping away from him. I opened my mouth to say something but bit my lip and stayed quiet keeping my head down.

We headed up to the building; me not making eye contact with anyone. All I could hear around me was gossip which mostly consisted of people wondering who I was. Our group was quiet as we walked up towards the office.

"Igster and I will go with Max to get her schedule you guys should get to class" Fang exclaimed, "Especially you Gazzy, if you get detention for being tardy again I am not helping you sneak out of detention again" I stifled a laugh. Gazzy muttered something about not getting in trouble and shuffled down the hall with the others behind him.

"Come on Max! Lets go see if you have any classes with me!" Iggy excitedly pushed me into the office and up to the desk.

"Can I help you?" The Lady asked looking up from her computer. "Oh you must be Maxine Batchelder our new student. Let me get your schedule" She got up and went back into another.

"Your full names Maxine?" Iggy snickered. I clenched my fists by my side.

"No, it's Maximum. Maximum Martinez" I hissed making Iggy flinch.

"Damn, my bad" The lady came back out and handed me my schedule and locker number. I thanked her and we exited the office.

Schedule-

US History

Cooking

Biology

Personal Health

Geometry

I sighed, really? Out of every class possible I get these. I hate History and Cooking; I suck at Geometry and hate Science altogether.

"Looks like we have History, Biology, and Geometry together Max. And you have cooking and Health with Iggy." He paused then continued, "And your lockers two down from mine."

"Alright, show me to my locker so I can drop off my stuff then we can go to History" he led me through the halls where most of the kids stared at me or whispered back and forth to there friends. I knew the whole thing. I was the new kid and no one knew who I was.

"Here locker 176, I'm going to put my bag away real quick" He walked to the other side of the hall and up to his locker. I did the combo, having to do it twice since I messed up the first time and eventually got it open. I shoved my backpack in there and grabbed one of my empty binders.

"Hey baby what's happening?" I turned my head to see some guy leaning on the locker next to mine, "You new here? I would remember someone as good looking as you" He was another one of those common assholes.

"Buzz off" I muttered shutting my locker, "I don't want to deal with assholes like you" his eyebrows raised and I could feel his eyes on me as I walked over to Fang. He was rummaging through his backpack.

"Ready?" I asked. He pulled out a crumpled stack of papers and nodded his head. He smoothed out the papers and shoved them into his binder then shut his locker.

"Yeah, History with Mr. Jay is a lot of fun trust me." He said starting to walk down the hall at a quick pace. We ended up going to the end of the hall and into a small classroom. Several kids were already sitting in there desks talking to the people around them.

"We don't have any assigned seats" He exclaimed sitting down towards the left wall of the classroom near the window. Since I didn't really know anyone else in this class I sat next to him. Not a few minutes later the bell rung.

"Good morning class, I hope all of your days started off well." The teacher exclaimed walking to the front of the room, "I understand we have a new student here today, Maxine Batchelder? Would you come up and introduce yourself?" I gulped but did as I was told. I was good at that, and walked to the front of the room.

"My names not Maxine Batchelder" I said for starters, "Its Maximum Martinez, but I prefer Max, and I just moved here from San Diego, California." I said crossing my arms. I heard many people mumbling about my last name, I heard Ella's name several times.

"And yes I am Ella Martinez's sister" I hissed at the girls in the front row. The scowled back at me.

"Well Max, welcome to Cougar high I hope you'll have a great time here. You may sit back down" I walked back and sat down, "Now class today's lesson is going to be Immigration."

I could already tell today was going to the longest day of my life.
