"Max!" cried her foster mother, outside her bedroom door

Max was already awake, when her foster mother is calling her, because she Max thinks she has Shark DNA, allows her not to sleep a lot, she and Jondy has Shark DNA. "I wonder what school will be like, since today is the first day of school, I wonder high school will be like," she said to herself, as she was putting on her black boots on. Max walks over to her mirror and looks at herself, wearing blue jean pants a black t-shirt; "Looking good" she smiles in front of the mirror.

"Max!" said her foster mother, calling again

"I'm coming!" as she yelled in her room, Max puts her hair down, covering her barcode, so no one knows she has a tattoo and she being hunted from Manticore after the '09 escape. Her foster family doesn't know she has a tattoo the back of her neck, when Max usually in the family's pool or whatever, Max has to cover the barcode, so know one won't ask questions, then her foster dad wants it removed, then like two weeks later is pops up and he probably would go ballistic, her foster parents goes ballistic at her, because she likes to steal and sell the stolen items at the black market, she goes to the black market to get this drug not really called Typrothan, a amino acid, this food supplement/drug helps take care of her seizures, X5's are common to get seizures and this stuff works the best.

Max walks over to her bedroom door and opens the door, she starts to walk down the wooden stairs and she enters the kitchen, "Finally," said her foster mother, she is about 30 years old, blonde hair, blue eyes, she wears black pants and white tank top, she is a mother of 2 kids, both 18, and they are guys, not a good thing when Max goes into heat, due to her feline DNA, one time Max had to hide herself in a closet, to keep away from the men, it didn't help, she broke the hinges on the door down and her foster father starts to yell at her and what she did, she couldn't tell no one, because she can't tell her foster family that she is genetically engineered and was made in a lab, created to be the perfect soldier, if she tells them, they will probably sent her to the nut house, not a good thing, especially when Manticore is hunting her down.

Joe sitting at the table is eating is Pop Tart, the blue berry flavor with yogurt, "Hey Maxie"

When Max heard that name, she starts to have a flash-back when she was at Manticore, her older 'sibling' X5-599, Zack, use to call her that, when during the night time, when its lights out, he use to call her that, when Ben, X5-493, use to tell these fantastic stories like what is like outside in the world and why we were here. Her flash-back fades really quickly, when her foster mother is calling her, "Max?"

Max looks at her, "Oh sorry" she walks over to the toaster and puts her Pop Tart into the toaster and she pushes the handle down.

"Looks, like she is out to lunch again," said Kyle

"Yeah, you doing that really often, what's on ya mind?" said Joe, cracking up laughing

Max hates the two, because they are wise guys and jerks, sometimes she wish to punch them or beat the living daylights out of them, but she can't, because she will end up hurting them and she needs to fit in, like when she was 9 years old, living with her foster sister, her foster father use to beat them up, like everyday, he does it most of the time when he is drunk, that guy was a pure alcoholic, sometimes Max wants to beat him up, since she is stronger than him and more lethal, but she couldn't she has to fit in, but one time she stand up to him and he smacked her right across the face, she still in fact remembers that.

Max sees the pop tart, jumping out of the toaster, meaning it is hot and ready to eat, Max pick it up, as it was burning hot, she didn't mind feeling the pain, because she is use to it, most it is from Manticore and to living with a alcoholic. Max puts her pop tart on a paper towel and she picks it up and she starts to eat it.

"Guys, the bus, will be here, in ten minutes, and I don't want you to be late for your first day of school, especially you Max," said her foster father

"Joe, let's have a bet, after the first couple classes, Max will be sent to the headmaster's office"

"Deal," said Joe smiling, "Last time, I won the bet, that Max was going to get into trouble at the middle school and guess what she did, because she started a fight with the most popular girl and end up breaking her beautiful nose"

Max finishes chewing her food and swallows it, "It was self defense and she started the fight, not me, I was minding my own business" Max stands up, "I'm going to wait for the bus"

"Ok, do you got your binder, paper, and pencil?" said her foster mother

"Yeah, its all in my bag," she nods and she heads to the front door and she opens the white door and walks out, she is waiting for the bus to come. Two minutes later Kyle and Joe walks out of the house and the two is surrounding her, "What do you want? Your crowding my space area"

"So what, when we get to high school, I don't want you to look at me or talk to me"

"Awwww, I don't want to ruin your reputation, with a foster sister that likes to cause trouble"

"Yeah, if you do, I will pop you one"

Max starts to laugh, "Haha" she backs up away from them with open arms in the air, "Feel free, go on ahead" Max stops talking and she sees the yellow bus coming down the street and went to an automatic stop, as it stops in front of her house. Max pushed past her two foster brothers, she almost knocks them down and she went up to the bus and sat next to a shy 15 year old boy, named Clay. "Hi"

He looks at her and turns away at the window, "Hi" Clay, doesn't really like to talk a lot, because in school he doesn't know how to start a conversation, the problem is, he is into sci-fi and a lot of sci-fi related stuff and the guys are into girls and money.

"What's your name?"

Kyle and Joe walks onto the bus, and heard, Max's voice, "His name is Clay, the weirdest person you will ever meet"

"Joe, did you last time, beat the crap out of him and left him in the middle of no where, for days?"

"Yeah, I totally remember that, if that geek tries to talk to me again, this is something her won't ever regret"

After hearing what Kyle said, in what Joe did to Clay, anger was filling up deep inside of her, "Don't listen to those jerks, if they ever lay a figure on you, I will lay the smack down on them"

Clay turns around and looks at Max, he and smiles, "Thanks"

"Did I hear what I just heard?" said Joe, sitting on the other side of the bus, in the same row, where Max and Clay are sitting at.

"Yes you did, she gonna lay the smack down on us," he starts to crack up laughing, "We will take her down in a heart beat, before she can act," he is wrong, because Max can take him down in like 10 seconds or less, because Max is a genetically engineered super soldier with feline DNA, that gives her special ablities. Max rolls her eyes at the two and she looks at Clay, "Nice name, I'm Max"

"Cool name" he wants to start to talk to this girl, because she seems friendly and cool around him, but he doesn't know what to talk about, because he never really talk to girls a lot, and he might say the random stuff that isn't related onto the topic or his voice might squeak, "So, what do you like to do?" he said softly, hopefully Max could hear him.

"I don't know, I like hanging around the town and check out the sci-fi books," she didn't say really much, because she spends half the day, especially at night, robbing places, she likes that, but she can't mention that, because she will get into trouble and then they ask her millions of questions, and its not a good thing when you're a Manticore refuge and is a bit different from average humans.

He smiles at her and he sort of perk up a bit, "You like sci-fi too?"

"Yeah, it kind of interest me, thinking how cool if there were like part humans and part human"

"Same thing too," he pauses for a moment, like this girl is the perfect one for me, that likes sci-fi as well, "So what classes do you have? And what lunch do you have?"

Max could tell he likes her, she can hear, Joe and Kyle in the backround giggling and watching Max talking to Clay, "I have English with Mr. Smith, Biology with Mr. Mack, US History with Ms. Faye, P.E. with Mr. Thomas, and Art with Ms. Flip, and for lunch, I have 3rd lunch"

He froze for a moment, he has all the same classes as her and he is third lunch too. This is kind of werid in way, a girl he likes, that has the same interests, who also has the same classes as him and has the same lunch period. "Whoa"

"Somebody is in love with Maxie!" hollered Kyle, "And its Clay!" the other teenagers start to crack up laughing, cause no one likes Clay, they like to torment him and make fun of him, the always do ever since elementary school.

"I think you should not talk to me," said Clay

"Why?" she thinks for a moment, "Don't listen to those idiots, just ignore them or stand up to them"

"I tried once and was ended in the hospital, by your brother Kyle"

"If he tries anything, or anyone touches you, they have to go through me first"

"Really?"

"Really"

"Ummm, can you be my friend?"

Max doesn't speak for a moment, because she doesn't know what a 'friend' is, she is afraid, if she ask him, what is a friend, he would think she from some planet, but she has to ask, even though what people might say in the bus, including her two foster brothers, "What's a friend?"

"Oh, you never had one?"

"You can say that, let's say, I'm mostly an outcast"

"Um, a friend is, is like trusting each other and do stuff together, like fun stuff, and bunch of other stuff and there is a best friend when the two totally trust each other, that would tell the person like almost anything that is highly secretive and the other person won't tell"

"Cool, let's be friends" Max pause for a moment, she doesn't like the sound of 'best friends' because telling your best friend about the deep and darkest secret, if she and Clay becomes best friends, he would probably will ask, and she won't feel right, because if she tells her best friend in what she really is, she doesn't know how they will act, but if it was Clay, he would probably think it would be cool, "Sounds like fun"

"Um, Max, when we walk to our first class, can you come with me, some of the guys, at the school likes to beat me up"

"Sure thing"

He smiles at her, "Thank you"

"Your welcome"

Twenty minutes, the bus stops in front of the large school and the bus driver opens the door and the teenagers starts to pour out of the bus, finally Max and Clay walks out of the bus and they head up to the large double doors and they enter the high school, this is going to be like an adventure to Max, because this is a whole new world to her.
