Maximum Ride is property of James Patterson. Kisha Reaper and Deveann are property of Me! Kumali is property of Jwan!

Guess what? I just figured out my hair has blond highlights! That's creepy. And as if my hair didn't already look enough like Max's the other day. You should have seen it. My hair was all curly from sleeping on it funny and I got of my car and looked in the window which made everything look black and white. The wind was really strong and my hair was in my face. For a moment there I thought I was looking at the cover of Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. Not kidding. But then I was like, hey, she's not pretty! That's not Max, that's me! (sigh) After that I washed my face with some Clearasil. (do not own said acne removal product)

Kisha's POV

Deveann rolled his eyes. We went back to our jobs.

"What's up?" Aaron didn't even look up at me.

"Nothing, must there be something up for me to go have lunch with my friends?" I asked, sounding a bit harsh but also becoming suspicious of him.

"New girl's with Devon, she your friend?" Grammatical errors, messing with thought process.

"In English."

"Who's the new girl?" He grunted.

"Her name is Natalie. She's pretty, huh?" I wrung up some guy's shirt. I'm not even going to tell you what was on it, it was so disgusting.

"A little young for him, wouldn't you say?" I laughed spitefully.

"five, ninety five please. Here is your change. She's not Devon's girlfriend, Devon has a girlfriend." I explained.

"Yeah? Who? I never see any girl's going over there to visit him, I mean, other than you or your friend's that already have guys with them or are years younger than you."

"Um... well..." I stuttered. The next in line was buying a gir hoodie, one of the few items we sold that I actually liked. "Fifteen, sixty. Thank you. Have a nice day."

"Oh. You meant you." Aaron sighed. He had a crush on me. I knew that, he just wasn't my type. Deveann was the only guy for me, probably the only guy out there who could fully tolerate me if you know what I mean. Like, accept me, family history, race, wings, and all.

"Yeah."

"Hey, buddy! Did you forget about me while you were on your vacation?" I looked up to see Malissa, my only friend outside of the flocks and Lash.

"Hi there, Malissa." I smiled, finally something to release the tension.

"I hear from Deveann you're staying at a hotel!" She was the best, really, well that is, other than Max and Kumali but they were like my sisters, it's different.

"Uh huh!"

"Well, how about you and your friends come over tonight and we can hop in the pool?" You see, the thing about her was, she knew. About all of us, well, other than Lash, but she'd soon figure it out. When you become my friend you have to be willing to get past the fact that I'm secretive about everything, if you can't do that, you're like Malissa, you stalk me until you figure out what I'm hiding. In this case, my wings. Malissa had an indoor pool, she lived all by herself. She was trustworthy and so we all felt pretty secure around her.

"If you didn't know, we have a new addition to the team, Natalie." I waved my hand toward her.

"Yes, I saw. She's not exactly hard to miss." She raised an eyebrow, suggesting we might have been a bit too casual with her ears.

"She really likes anime." I explained.

"I see. She may come as well."

"Yo! Deveann!" I hollered across the hall. Deveann sighed and ambled over.

"What is it?" I grabbed his arm and pulled his ear to my lips.

"How's about getting the gang together and going over to Malissa's? Lash is welcome. We'd have to bring our bathing suits, don't worry, she has an inside pool." I let him go.

"Sounds like a plan, I'll go call Max. You're almost done with your day anyway. I'll ask to get off early." I'd be surprised if Deveann actually had a day where he worked the full day. "Hey, Natalie! Come meet Aaron!" He nudged Aaron and I thought I heard him growl. Deveann looked at him, shocked, then he started laughing. "It's more effective when you have fangs." He snickered, baring his fangs and strutting off.

"Do I sense a bit of tension?" Malissa asked. One of the few things she didn't know about me was my relationship with Deveann.

"It's all in your head."

"Hey, lady! You're holding up the line!" Some guy hollered.

"There's another register, Jack(censored)!" Malissa shrieked at him.

"Alexa...?" Lash seemed a bit scared of Malissa. (Alexa is her other name, she doesn't really need a back up name cuz Kisha's pretty common but I like to have code names.)

"Sorry, hon, she got a little riled up." I sighed. "Meet Aaron." He was ringing up some lady's lingerie. Ew.

"I'm busy." He groaned. "Three fifty is your change. Have a good night, day, I mean day." I suppressed a laugh.

"He's not usually like this." I gave him a hug as he bagged some Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends T-shirts. "He's having a bad day." I felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up and was almost proud of myself.

"Hey Alexa!" I turned and saw Deveann, not mad. I was glad about that. "Max says yeah!" He said going back into the Libby Lu to talk to his boss.

"It's set!" I said to Malissa.

That was boring. What will be more boring is writing about their boring time at Malissa's house. Then, I know I'm revealing something from the coming up chapters but it's not really exciting and doesn't have anything to do with the main plot so I don't mind, I have to write about their boring time at the movies. Then something else boring. Then, something fun, Fang being stupid... heh heh heh. I have plans for you, Fang. (rubs hands together evilly) Bwahahahahahahahahahaahahahaahahahaha! ... Ha! Kisses!
