Fang- That's an understatement...

Me- Shut-up you!! You'll blow the whole thing!!

Fang-Maybe I want too!!

Me-That's my boy...

Fang- You dont own me though!!

Me- Yeah, yeah. I know. The same old spheal. Idont own any of Mr' Patterson's works blah-blah-blah...

-Chapter 2-

I awoke to the sound of an alarm screaming in my ear. I slam my fist down on the "snooze" button and shifted over to face Fang... to see that he wasn't there. I sat straight up and scanned around the whole room. The bathroom door was closed. The sound of a shower turning off filled the room. Well, now that I'm awake, might as well get dressed.

"Fang? Don't come out until I say. I'm getting dressed." I said through the door. That was the good thing about this school we were going too. We didn't have to wear ugly uniforms. They let you wear whatever you want. To a limit of course.

"Hurry up! I forgot my stuff outside the bathroom." Fang said sounding annoyed. Not at me, more at himself. I look over on the end of the bed and see he was telling the truth. Oh!! It is so payback time...

I quickly slipped into my plain lime green and white striped t-shirt and pulled my black hoodie on and zipped it up. I pulled my dark blue jeans on and slipped on sneakers after putting on my socks. I ran my brush into my hair and grabbed Fang's clothes. We all had decided to buy new clothes considering our old ones were dirty and disgusting.

"I'm done!" I yelled, waiting close to the bathroom door. I heard it unlock and open. Fang stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist. He walked over to the bed. I took the opportunity to close the bathroom door. Fang, after he realized what I was doing, turned to give me a dark glare. Woah. I never knew his glares were so scary!! Then again, he's never glared at me like that before.

"Give. Me. My. Clothes. Now..." Fang said with no trace of humor whatsoever. He sounded pissed. He started walking towards me. I didn't want to play anymore. I wanted to know what his problem was.

"What's your problem?" I asked as he ripped the clothes out of my hands and turned to go into the bathroom. Before he had closed the door, I heard him mumble, "Nothing..."

Now I know something is wrong.

We had to wait for the "bus". I feel so... normal... emphasis on normal. Iggy and Fang seemed just as fidgety as I was. We were going into a high school full of kids to crowd around us.

The giant yellow "thing", I mean, "bus", came and the moment the three of us walked onto the bus and sat down, everyone became really quiet. I felt awkward and out of place. Then, when I turned to look out the window, I saw him. Ari. Waving at me. I glanced back at Fang and could tell that he had seen him too. He whispered very quietly and very quickly to Iggy what we had seen. He immediately tensed. Fang's fists were clenching and unclenching nervously. I had only one piece of relief. I had sent the younger kids to school too.

The bus started to drive away when I nearly screamed when someone said right next to my ear, "Hi!! Who are you?"

I turned to see a curly, red-haired boy smiling at me. His skin was tanned and he had emerald green eyes.

"I'm Max. Max Ride. Who are you?" I said politely, resisting the urge to punch him for scaring me like that.

"Hey Christmas!! Leave the new kids alone!!" I heard a kid yell from the back of the bus. The red-haired boy turned and glared at the kid, then turned back to me.

"I'm Christopher Summerson. But you can call me Chris." Chris said smiling.

"Why do they call you Christmas?" I asked curious.

"My natural hair color is red and my eyes are green. Plus, my name is Chris." he said with an agitated sigh.

"Oh." I said with stupidity. That was obvious.

"I'm Nick. Nick Fletcher." Fang said twisting to face us from the next seat up.

"Jeff. Jeff Vanderson." Iggy said turning towards Chris, but not actually looking at him.

"Are you blind, Jeff?" Chris asked quizzically.

"Yup. Why? Is that obvious?" Iggy said with bitter sarcasm. He hated when people pointed out his blindness. Except for the Flock course.

"I didn't mean to sound offensive..." Chris said upset. He looked really cute with a pouting face. I glanced over at Iggy who looked like he regretted sounding so bitter. Fang seemed annoyed again and right when I'm about to ask him what his problem is, again, the bus pulls up in front of the high school.

Like programmed robots, everyone files out of the prison on wheels and heads into the school. Fang, Iggy, and I were to report to the office when we got to school, so I waved good-bye to Chris. We had to get our schedules at the office. We went in, said who we were, the lady gave us our schedules, and we headed off to homeroom.

I was sitting here doing, shiver, homework, when I hear a knock on the door to me and Fang's room.

"Come in." I called from my bed. Fang peeked his head around the door and came in.

"You know, you don't have to knock. This is your room too." I said playfully. He sat down on the bed tensely. He wouldn't look me in the eyes at all.

"Max, I'm sorry for the way I've been acting so... rudely, lately. I've just had a lot on my mind and it's been putting me in a bad mood. And about last night... I... um..." Fang's face turned a deep shade of red and I sat there recalling what happened. He had kissed me and I didn't know what to do or say. I still don't know what to do or say either.

"Fang... last night... what happened... I don't really know what to say..." I said slowly. He looked up at me, hope filling his dark eyes.

"Max, I wanted to a-ask you... t-t-to..." Fang barely began stuttering when Iggy storms into the room and stands right in the middle of the floor.

"Where is it?" he asks in hysterics.

"Where's what?" Fang and I say together in unison.

"My. Stuffed. Cow." Iggy said, paler then usual.

"You mean Moo-Moo?" Fang said, trying to control his laughter.

"Yes, Moo-Moo. Where is he." Iggy said, red with embarrassment and anger. He glared at Fang who let out a small laugh. Then, out of no where, Iggy is holding Fang off the bed, his feet dangling above the ground, by his throat. Adrenaline poured into my veins and I sprinted over and tried to pull Iggy off of Fang.

"Ig... W-What're you... doing?" Fang said, trying to breathe. Iggy's eyes just stared at him coldly. His hand was tightening around Fang's throat while Fang was trying to pry Iggy's hand from around his neck.

"You're going to kill him!!" I screamed as my voice cracked. Iggy's expression changed to fear as he released his grip on Fang and dropped him to the floor. Fang immediately jumped back up and punched Iggy across the face.

"What the HELL were you trying to do?! Strangle me?! I don't have your frigin' cow!!" Fang screamed at Iggy, who was standing there with his nose bleeding. He seemed shocked at what Fang was saying.

"I tried to strangle you?" Iggy said, sounding genuinely confused.

"Yes, you did." I said before Fang could say anything else. Fang is made beyond control at the moment.

"Iggy, what was that? Why does it keep happening?" I heard Nudge say. We all turned to face a scared-out-of my-mind Nudge. Iggy backed away from all of us and towards the very large window. Before I could do anything, he jumped.

OOOOOOHHHH!!! What's gonna happen? No one knows... Except me and my friends... (the friends who i see every day at school)
