Yeah yeah I know I said 5 more review but I was getting bored of just waiting so I posted this kay? so that means this time you've gotta review... OR ELSE! lol

DISCLAIMER! Is there really a need? THOUGH! Rue, Jace, Nom, Jenna, Mickey, and Devon are MINE! Allllll mine... though I do give out publishing rights XDXD. Happy Readin'!

"Steroids…," Rue was still muttering when we got to the lunch room. "Ew…mustaches,"

I sighed and spotted Jace and Dylan over at a table in the corner, by the window. We went and sat by them. I tried to ignore the stares of about every student in the entire place.

"Why do they keep looking over here?" I mutter staring down at my soda.

"Um, most of them are really curious," Jace said his head in his hands, concentrating. He looked over at Rue and she nodded.

"Um, they want to come over here and talk to us, but they're kinda scared of us," he said his eyes screwed up in concentration.

"Why would they be scared of us?" Dylan asked.

Rue looked pointedly at Jace.

"Um, well cuz Max and Rue ran at 20 miles an hour for 2 hours and didn't even break a sweat. And the officer had them tested for steroid," Jace said.

"And?"

"I have no idea, my head hurts and I've got math next so can I stop?" Jace said putting his head down on the table right where his food was a second ago.

"Nice," he said to Rue, "but I think people will notice if random trays of food start flying through the cafeteria,"

She scowled gently letting the plate back down on the table, "Should have let you dump your face in it," she muttered.

"Um, excuse me?" a timid voice from behind me said.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Um, do you really live in that house in the woods? Like a really big one?"

"Yeah," I said again looking at Rue cautiously. She nodded at me.

"And is there like, a whole lot of you… who are like adopted?"

"Um, no… we're not adopted but we all live together," I say.

"And… and did you really run 2 hours without breaking sweat?" she asked again her eyes really, really wide… it was kinda creeping me out.

"Yeah, they did," said Jace. He met her eye and she took in a sharp breath.

"Okay…" she said quickly and scuttled away.

We all stared after her for a second.

"What was that about?" I finally ask.

We all looked at Rue.

"Why do you always look at me? But any way what do you think we look like to them?" she asked.

"Um, the new kids," I said back rolling my eyes.

"No, well yeah, but we all are really pretty looking right?" she started. We nodded.

"And, we can run for hours at a time," We nodded again.

"And we live in a house in the middle of the forest," Rue said looking straight at me.

"Oh!" Jace said and then started laughing… really hard. Dylan caught on too and joined him.

"Wait what?" I said not getting it.

"Max, they think we're vampires," Dylan said looking at me.

I snorted, me, a vampire, well that was something new. Wow, I'm going to have fun with this.

"Listen in their direction," Rue said leaning her head in that direction.

I caught little snippet of conversation.

"Ooh, which one is single?"

"There's four of them, they're probably together,"

"Na, Max isn't with Dylan, I can just tell,"

"Oh! Exciiiiiting!"

"Which one can read minds?"

"I dunno, but there are others you know… it doesn't have to be these four."

"Yeah, but I wish Jace was single…"

"Yeah…"

-sigh-

"What do they mean, you are single," Rue said.

"Yeah… I am." he said.

Dylan and I shook our heads. They were so clueless sometimes.

"Wow, I guess that means we can't fly around here to much," Rue said sadly.

"Yeah, I'll bet they're gonna try and find the house," Jace said.

"They are, they're already planning to follow the car back home," Rue said cocking her head again.

"Psh, if we were vampires than we could have heard then," Dylan said in disgust.

"They're teenage girls, they're kind of blinded when it comes to guys," I say to his reasonably.

"Yeah, they're mental picture is just you and him," Rue said disgustedly, "You don't even want to know what they're thinking," she said putting her head on her arms. "I'm blinded for life,"

Jace put his arm around her and absentmindedly started rubbing her neck, even if I can't read emotions I could feel the jealousy radiating of the girls.

"Hm, yeah well that's not all. I may suck at this emotion thing, but I know those guys over there are looking at you," Jace said nodding in the direction of a few guys.

They were at the popular table, it was some of the guys on the skins team, well most of them. I think they were also planning on following us home. Great.

"Yeah, whatever, but Nick's been looking over here the whole time," Rue muttered still not looking up, "Don't look though, he has a girlfriend,"

"Who," I asked not too interested,

"Claire," she replied.

"Really? I thought that she said he was a player,"

"Yeah, she did but she's just kinda jealous, thinks your competition," Rue said looking up, her eyes sparkling mischievously.

"She's really nice though, a good person. Kinda surprised when Nick asked her out, but who's gonna say no to him?"

"Me," I said purposely not looking over there. I didn't need some girl thinking I was flirting with her boyfriend when I was definitely not interested.

"We'll see," Rue said so quietly I wasn't even sure she had said it.

I said bye to Rue and Jace who were headed to like AP Calculus or something like that, and to Dylan who had to go to German. Go figure, he was made by Dr. Hugan- Dienafruaingen or something like that… the name escapes me.

I entered Biology on my own. I was glad Mr. some random name that I can't pronounce wasn't on of those teachers who made you stand up and say your name and all this random crap I didn't want anyone to know.

He pointed to the only empty seat, which was, just my luck, next to Nick. The oh exclusive Nick. Rue had told me that at first he had sat by himself at lunch, alone. But the rest of them had followed him where ever he went. So eventually he put up with it and became the most popular guy in the lot. He didn't talk too much, the strong and silent type… great.

He avoided looking at me, and put his hand over his mouth. He sat as far away from me as possible. Even though I tried not to care, it still hurt, as inconspicuously as I could I sniffed my hair, it smelled like Rue's shampoo, pomegranate and lavender, it was nice smelling.

Well, screw Nick, I though and tried to concentrate on the lesson which was confusing and made my head hurt, I know I'll do Angel's homework and she could do mine, perfect arrangement.

As soon as the bell rang Nick leapt out of his seat and basically ran to the door. Well, I don't care, I was trying to avoid him remember?

I walked to Spanish quietly holding my books, it was like he had hated me, and I hadn't even done anything to him yet, did he even know my name? Well I bet he did, everyone here knew everyone's names. I sighed, well every celebrity has haters.

I had no idea why I had chose Spanish, well actually it was because German reminded me too much of Dr. Hugen Dien a Fruegen or whatever his name was, the guy who created Dylan. French or Spanish, well I really didn't care about either so I chose the one Rue was doing, not that there was any need since she already spoke it fluently, but it was required.

Well my Spanish was a little rusty, but I managed okay. I kept blanking out, thinking about Nick and his peculiar behavior. Rue looked at me sympathetically, I bet she knew exactly what was going on, well she getting ready for a big interrogation later. Well right as I thought those words she whipped around to look at me… great, I'll have to learn to control my emotions better, it's hard enough controlling my thoughts but now my feelings… I hate being a bird kid.

Yup it was kinda short but YOU didn't review so it's all your fault... unless you reviewed... but anyways sorry I had to do that vampire thing... nesscity... you know I'm thinking of doing a different twist kind of thing with Forks right, so there's Rue and Jace, and Fang and Max, but there is one single you know Dylan and do something like the Twilight plot with that... and have the other kids too of course XD

so yeah... but MY IDEA! yeah and does anyone know when the next Max book is coming out? Angel I think it's called... hmmm can't wait though XD.
