Due to recent… um… thoughts? Anyway, I've decided to change the story up a bit. It will now be a crossover of Maximum Ride and Gallagher Girls. I already had some ideas for the story, and I've already started to write them down. And I'm sorry it took so long to update.
Cammie POV
I looked around the dark room and sighed. I can't believe I fell for that. I turned around and started to walk away, but I ran into someone. I looked at their face. It was illuminated by the light of the closing door behind them. Bex. She must have followed me.
"Bex? What are you doing here?"
She smiled. "Well, you were acting really weird at dinner. When I saw you head off, I decided to follow you. You know, make sure everything was alright. Plus, I got a note to come here too."
I snorted. Figures. "So, why were we told to meet the guys in the gym, but no ones here?"
The room was black now, so I couldn't see Bex even though I knew she was only a foot in front of me. "Maybe it's a surprise?"
I frowned. "I doubt it. Maybe we were just set up. You know, we were kidnapped for a reason. Maybe this has to do with that?"
I imagined her shrugging. "It's possible. Anyway, let's get out of here. I don't really feel like standing here all night waiting for nobody to show up." I could hear a clear note of bitterness in her voice. It was pretty obvious that she liked Grant, and she was upset that he had stood her up.
Then the door flew open and six people entered. The first two were Zach and Grant. Better late than never, I guess. Another person was Lucy, actually dressed as Lucy instead of Luke. I didn't recognize the other 3, and I couldn't tell what they looked like from the lack of light.
Deciding to actually be smart for once, I walked over and flipped what I thought was a light switch. Wrong. The gym floor started pulsing in a rainbow of colors, lighting up the room like it was a disco.
I glanced behind me at Bex, who was biting her lip. Once I caught her eye, we both burst out laughing. Why on earth would the guys have a dance floor in their school? Oh well. So much for the light switch. At least there was light now.
"Cam, it's not that funny…" Grant stated.
I nodded, then stopped laughed. Bex did the same. Then I decided to ask about Lucy, who Bex was studying out of the corner of her eye.
"Lucy?" I started, taking a step forward. "What's up? I thought you were supposed to be Luke?"
Lucy shifted uneasily. Apparently she doesn't like being the center of attention. "Yeah, um, about that…" She trailed off nervously. Zach, finally speaking for the first time, picked up where she left off.
"She was good. Had everyone fooled up until today. Jonas found a tampon in our trashcan. Turns out she wasn't expecting puberty."
Oh. Well that makes sense. Lucy had blushed a deep crimson color during the explanation, and was studying the floor intently. Poor girl.
"Aww. Poor girl." One of the three strangers had spoken up in a feminine voice, taking the words right out of my mouth.
"And who the bloody hell are you?" Bex demanded, sizing up the female.
One of the two boys answered. He had pale skin and strawberry blond hair. He was 6'2" and had filmy blue eyes. He was blind. "My name is Jeff. Jeff Ride. This is my adopted sister Max and her boyfriend Nick. Max and Nick are seventeen, and I'm sixteen. My birthday is next month though." He smiled, then chuckled. "Gosh, I'm starting to sound like Nudge now!"
I was still wearing my lie detecter ring, and it vibrated slightly when he said his name, the other boy's name, and when he said Max was his adopted sister. But why would he lie about that? Unless he had a cover... Hmm...
The girl, Max, grinned at that. She had brown hair with natural blonde streaks in it. She had pretty brown eyes and stood at 5'8". The other boy, "Nick", didn't show any change in emotion. He was 6' even and had shaggy black hair. His eyes were dark, black. His skin had a nice olive tone. Wow, he's got a good poker face! I thought.
"Who's Nudge?" I asked.
"Another sister. Also adopted." Max quickly responded. Lie.
Well, Nick doesn't say much either, I noted. He's the only one that hasn't spoken yet.
"Yeah, I'm confused. Completely lost, actually. Why are you here again? And how come I've never seen you before? Or, at least, I haven't. Have you Cammie?" Bex blurted.
I shook my head no. Never seen them before.
Max smiled. "I'll explain later. But can you please show me where my room is supposed to be? I've had a long day, and I'm tired. I'm sure Lucy here would rather stay with us, too."
I nodded. "Of course! Come on, follow me."
I quickly led Max to the girls' section of the school with Bex and Lucy trailing behind us. Jeff and Nick set off after Zach and Grant to who knows where. I was determined to get answers, and I would get them if it was the last thing I do.
Sorry that the characters are OC. I didn't really mean to do that, but I didn't know how to change it either.
