Chapter-2-Max
After a long bus ride to school, we are finally here. Nevermore high. Named after the classic poem: Nevmemore. I sigh. Another day at the worst school ever. Actually, I don't think it's the worst school. It's just the ONLY school, so I have nothing to compare it to. That's right. Nevermore is the only school that exists. Or so I'm told.
Out town is … weird to say the least. We have one school, one library, one dentist, one hiking trail…. One if pretty much everything except houses. I'm told that we are the only town, the only people…. I know something is wrong. I feel that something is up. However, nothing bad has happened. So I Move on.
"Hey, Max." I hear. I turn around and I see Xavian. My day brightens up a bit. He is my best friend, like in the whole world, and everyone loves him. He's like this town's poster boy. He somehow knows just how to calm me down. He's a good friend.
I'm pretty sure that he knows about the wings, but he never told anyone, so I don't care.
"Sup Xavian? How ya doing"
"Good." he smiles back at me.
"Well, gotta go!"
"See you later"
I then hear the bell ring.
Crap crap crap
yes. crap.
I walk into the grand building that is my school and take a right, a left, and right. I then walk up the stairs. I end up in the high school part of the building. I walk towards my first class of the day and plop down in my seat at the back of the class.
"A little late Miss Martienez?" I curse and look at the clock. Fuck. I'm 10 minutes late.
"That's the third time so far Miss. Ride. You know what that means" I grumble. Another detention, another day. The teacher looks backat me, and continues to blab on about "Animals" and "research" and I tune it out.
I tune back in at the end of her conversation:
"And you'll be working in partners for this assignments." Wait. Partners? Fuck. I see Dylan, A.K.A jackass walking over. Ugh. He's been trying to date me ever since I was 10. He's usually fine, but when Xavian isn't here to threatening all reproductive abilities, he's a smug Jackass. And Xavian isn't here. He really never shows up to classes. I also see Nick Walker walking towards me. Double ugh. I'm pretty sure if anyone else knows about my wings, it's him. He has been practically stalking me since the 4th grade. I kept finding him in the shadows, watching me…..
They both walk up to me and ask
"Will you be my partner?" they both have an astonishing look on their faces.
"Back off walker, she's mine" I hear Dylan whisper. I pick up on it, but I decided to play with them first.
"My, my. Who to choooooose. Hrmmmmmmmmm" I look between them. I sigh. I know who to choose.
"Nick" I see Nick smirk and plop down next to me.
Smug jackass. But the lesser kind
Lay off him.
Gasp! You're defending someone! The world has ended!
Just, lay off him ok?
Fine.
"MAX!" I look back at Nick.
"I called your name like 10 times"
"Sorry I was distracted" I mutter
"By what? My smoking hot bod?"
I look at him and Shit. He does have a "Smoken bod" He got chiseled! Man, I never noticed an-
NO! Bad max. I look back at him and smirk.
"You wish" I feel my wings twitch a bit in my back.
Oh no no no no not now.
Looks like you in a pickle.
Fuck you,
Fuck the pickles.
What?
Yes.
No really what?
Bye.
Huh. Well, those conversations were... Interesting.
"So nick. What do you want to do?"
He looks at me.
"1. Call me Fang. weren't paying attention were you?" I stuttered a bit.
"Well-Uhm-I"
"For our project, we need to pick an animal and study it." He explains.
"Well thanks, Ni-Fang. So what animal do you want to do?"
"I figured we do birds.' I feel heat rising my cheeks and my wings twitch.
"U-Uhm-why?"
"I've always seen you looking at birds. Thought you liked them" I blush slightly. I never realized he knew what I liked. We continue to talk about the project, and we decide that will do it on birds. I like him. Hes kinda broody, but also nice. And his smile lig-WAIT. No. The great Maximum Martinez DOES NOT fall for a boy. Right?
