PLEASE ENJOY, then REVIEW!

I woke up again on my second first day of school to the sound of my alarm clock. I was not very excited, today we were back in Oregon, in our old house, and going to school again for the first day. I was really hoping we could convince my mom to let us move back, but I guessed she probably would never give in. I had already tried getting on my hands and knees and begging, but that didn't work. I know, very Max-like, isn't it, Ella was surprised by my doing of that because it is weird for me to beg, I am not a beggar.

I got out of bed, got dressed in my normal t-shirt and jeans, but I realized I still had my soccer jersey from the Arizona team, I decided to keep it just in case we move back. I walked downstairs to find pancakes, I ate 10 pancakes and walked out the door and headed to the bus stop, unlike in Arizona we couldn't walk, we had to ride the bus because it would take about 2 hours to walk to our school, because we live out in the country.

When I got to the bus stop I waited for Ella to finally arrive, while my old friend Amy came up and hugged me while screeching, I think it was supposed to be in excitement, but it sounded like she got stung by a bee.

"Why did you move back here?" she asked.

"My mom is annoying and made us move back because Jeb ran away and doesn't mater anymore, so we moved back. I had made some great friends too." I answered quietly trying not to gain more attention that there already was.

"Oh well, I am very glad you came back." she replied.

I couldn't tell her more than I did because they didn't know about my wings, only my new friends and family. I was amazed by how fast I told them that I had wings, but they were my only friends that knew.

The bus finally got here just as Ella was running up. She got on just as the doors were closing. I sat down in the back alone, but then a boy with dark blond hair and turquoise eyes the color of the Caribbean Sea came and sat next to me. When he smiled I couldn't even look at him, his teeth were like the sun, they were so bright I couldn't look at them. He was more muscular than Fang, at least thats what it looked like and he was a little taller than Iggy, so he was probably around 6 feet, 4 or 5 inches.

"Hey!" he said very happily, a little to happy, weirdo.

"Hi" I said looking away.

"Where are you from?" he asked.

"Here, but I just recently moved to Arizona, then moved back her as my rude mom decided." I replied.

"Oh, well I am glad you moved back. What is your name?" he asked again. I wish he would just be quiet I didn't want to talk to anyone, especially him.

"Max"

"Dylan"

I looked out the window, but I sensed Dylan staring at me, so I looked back at him and he smiled his "bright sunny smile."

I looked back out the window, we had finally arrived at the school. I got up and walked out of the us leaving Dylan standing there stunned, weird. I walked into the school alone, but I found myself looking everywhere for my friends, without realized I wouldn't see them. I walked into the office, to find Ella standing there with a guy talking to her. She looked at me and smiled, she mouthed something, but since she is horrible at mouthing words, I didn't understand what she said so I just smiled.

"Hi, my name is Maximum Ride, and I am here to get my schedule."

"Okay, if you wait in that chair there, then you can go talk to the principal and get your schedule." the receptionist answered while pointing at a chair.

After about 30 minutes of waiting a guy with dark brown hair that covered his right eye and dark brown eyes that looked black came out of the principals office. I recognized him for some odd reason, he hadn't gone to school here when I was here. How could I recognize him?

I walked in the office, it was really big and official looking.

"Hello Ms..." he looked down at his paper to see what my name was, "Martinez"

"Hello, you can call me by my first name, Max, I don't need a map" I said as he handed me my schedule and map.

"Why?" he answered curiously.

"I just moved to Arizona a few weeks ago, so I still know my way around, but thanks anyways." I said while getting up and heading toward the door.

"Wait..." he almost yelled, he was looking down at the paper on his desk. "Try not to get into as much trouble as you did the last few years you were here,"

"I will try" I answered, with a smirk.

I walked out of his office and headed right to my first class. When I finally got to the door the bell rang and everyone came running out. I fell down and tried to get back up but couldn't because everyone was running out of the classroom. I felt arms wrap around me and lift me up, I looked up to find Dylan lifting me up onto my feet.

"Thanks," I said while trying to get out of his arms.

"No problem, anything for you," he answered.

I walked away and headed to the girl's locker room, I had PE next.

"Hey wait up, I need to tell you something.." I heard Dylan yell.

I stopped walking just to make him happy, he was getting very annoying.

"Hey, I know you have wings, and I do too..." he whispered, "Well, I was told that I was made for you, I am your other perfect half,"

I was speechless, he was my perfect other half, he had wings? Yeah Right! How could he have wings? This was getting really weird. I started walking faster, but he just sped up easily. I got to the girl's locker room, I opened the doors and got stopped from going in by Dylan. He was getting very annoying.

"Do you believe me?" he asked.

"No, and I am going to be late for PE, so bye!" I said sarcastically.

I quickly got out of his arms and made my way toward my locker. I unlocked it and got into my shorts and PE t-shirt, and put my hair into a sloppy ponytail.

I walked out into the gym to find the teacher with a stop watch, I was guessing we were going to run the mile again. Since I was pretty annoyed at Dylan right now, I would probably get a pretty good time. Whenever I am in a bad mood, I go for a run to cool off, so I should do good since I am annoyed.

"Okay class, we are running the mile today, as some you probably already know. Since it is such a nice day, let's go outside to stretch, then we will run, and yes everyone will run, no matter what, even if you break your ankle." he said while looking at me.

We got up and walked outside, Amy wasn't in this class, so I didn't know anyone except Dylan. Oh well, because I for sure was not going to run with him.

"Figure four" one of my classmates yelled so we could all hear. We started doing our stretches. I felt someones eyes on me, so I looked behind me to find Dylan staring at me. I gave him one of my death glares, and he quickly looked away.

When we had finally finished stretches, we got up and onto the track, our teacher told us that it was four laps for who didn't know how many laps the mile were. I was going to beat everyone, that was my goal.

"On your mark, get set, GO!"

I started running and got ahead of everyone, since my bones were very thin I could run really fast, faster than most people thought humanly possible. I looked back and I was a at least a whole 100 yards ahead, but Dylan was gaining. I would not let him bet me, I didn't want to be near him. I passed my teacher as he yelled out 1:16, I was doing pretty well for my first lap.

I was on my third lap, and I had almost finished it when I was running and tripped in a hole, I heard my ankle snap, it was bent at a very odd angle. I knew it would heal in like 1 hour, so I just kept on trying to run. But I couldn't put weight on it, that was really weird because normally I could already walk. I started hopping, and I was a really fast hopper, so I finished my third lap and was going on my fourth lap when Dylan came up to me and asked if I wanted him to carry me. I answered no very quickly without even thinking. My ankle started hurting real bad now, so I hopped faster on one foot, I lost balance and I started getting dizzy. I couldn't see, I fell on the ground, or at least that's what I think it was. Then I blacked out.

I couldn't believe Max was gone, school was totally boring without her and everything was boring actually. I couldn't do anything without thinking of her. If I ever see Jeb, I am going to ki...

"Don't think like that" I heard Angel say softly in my head.

I just ignored her and kept trying to write a song. It was not working, I couldn't do it. I took a break and went downstairs to get a snack and something to eat. I found nachos in the cupboard, so I grabbed those and warmed them up. Angel is at her house, so that means she is getting better at far away mind reading.

"Yup, that took you a while to figure out." Angel said.

"Well, you should try talking to Max because then maybe we, or I guess you could see how she was doing. I will be right over, I want to see how it works." I answered.

Nudge has been extra upset because Ella was a really good friend to her, and she had another friend she could shop with. I told Nudge I was going over to Walker's, she said she would be right over. I walked outside and walked over to their house, as I was walking I looked over at Max's house, they still hadn't sold it, I guess that was a good sign. I knocked on the door to find Angel opening the door. She looked so little against the big white door.

"Hey, come on in" she said happily.

"Hey" I replied.

"Have you tried yet?" I asked.

"No, I was waiting for you and Nudge, is Nudge coming?"

"Yes, she should be right over" just as I said that, Nudge came running into the house.

"Hey!" she said out of breathe.

"Let's go get Iggy and Gazzy, then we will go into my room and try." Angel said very angel-like.

"OK" Nudge and I both said in unison.

We walked up the steps to Iggy and Gazzy's room, it didn't smell too good, so I guessed they were making a bomb.

Angel knocked on the door and said, "Hey, can come to my room? Without smelling like bombs, please"

We walked over to Angel's hot pink and white room with clouds on the ceiling, it looked like a castle, I guess that's what it was supposed to look like but it was too much pink for me.

Finally the bomb-brothers came in. They still smelled like bombs, but "oh well".

"Fang had the idea of trying to see how Max likes Oregon, and what she is thinking and feeling." Angel told everyone.

"Oh, great idea Fang!" Nudge bellowed.

Angel closed her eyes and concentrated, I knew she could do this. I just hope Max doesn't realize she likes Oregon better than Arizona, that wouldn't be good for us.

Angel finally opened her eyes and said, "I could read Ella's mind and she was really sad, and missing us, and thinking about all the fun times we had, but I couldn't read Max's it was blank, the only reason it would be blank would be because she is..."

"Come on, what!" Nudge yelled.

"Dead..." Angel finished.
