"WHAT?" Jade screeched, glaring at my mom then at me. Valencia acted as if she didn't say anything and left.
MissMystery: SCHOOL! As in the one we just got kicked out of?
I laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Somewhere in there my family burst out laughing with me. Soon we were leaning on each other, tears streaming down our cheeks laughing.
"What?" The flock asked, confusion written all over their faces.
"School," I stated.
"As in…" Coral and Venus prepped.
"The one," Shade added with a big smile.
"We just…" Shade and Flame said with a smile.
"Got kicked out of?" Jade and I finished with our best smiles.
Val looked so confused, "Wait you guys went to school?"
I nodded, "Miss-we-must-not-be-dodo-birds over there decided we should go." Jade was actually the one that wanted us to attend school. We didn't care. Not at all. We loved it actually, until our powers started getting the best of our feelings. Flame lit up a teachers head, Shade started erasing the teachers' memory of his failed math test, Coral doused the head cheerleader in imaginary water, and Venus started making mini twisters. I admit Jade and I weren't angels; no we would beat the guys at everything. Then we'd start disappearing and making everyone's life hell. Then we got caught in one of our pranks that involved everyone and got kicked out. Simple as that.
"She made you guys suffer, too?" I saw humor in the boy's eyes and I knew they would take this chance to tease me and not get hurt.
"Yep, 24/7!" Shade said, popping the p.
"Shade," Jade said, eyes narrowing, "Shall we tell Snowy what you did just a few days ago?"
Horror flashed in his eyes, "You wouldn't," he breathed.
"Try me," She said, a smug smirk placed on her lips.
Storm patted Shade's back reassuringly, "Don't worry, bro, your secret's safe with me."
missundaztood: So…when should we?
MissMystery: idk but we need to before school. No way am I going as you.
missundaztood: DUH! I'm not going with WHITE hair! :)
MissMystery: lololololol I canNOT believe you actually agreed to that :)
"Hey, Valley, when are we starting school?" I asked Val.
"What?" She said, looking my way.
"Oh, sorry, Snow likes giving everybody weird nicknames," Storm explained for me.
I nodded. "Oh, umm well tomorrow, your information is already in and everything."
My heart seemed to stop. "Are we going in with different names?" She shook her head but nodded.
"Some of you like Shade and Flame. Coral and Venus. Snow." Coral and Venus crossed their arms and glared out the window. I just narrowed my eyes.
missundaztood: I think we should tell them….
MissMystery: Yeah. Go on.
"Excuse me. You tell," I said out loud, prompting her. She glared at me and furiously typed something.
MissMysery: Go die in a hole and then die again. And again, And again, And again.
MissMystery: Oh and I think we should let Iggy do the honors.
"No," I said. "And fine."
She just smiled at me. "Go on Iggy," she said, facing him. He looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"What?" he asked, shifting uncomfortably.
"Why don't we?" Jade asked looking at me. I shrugged.
"Sure, but you're explaining it. I'm going to get ice cream."
"No, no, no, no, no, Maxi, you're staying here until this is solved," She said with an evil smile. At least it's out now.
"Wait, what?" Fang asked, looking at me, then Jade, then me. Jade just laughed, I laughed with her. Only I was slightly hysteric.
"Shift back, Jadey Wadey!" I laughed. She glared at me, but did so anyway. My shoulder-length blond hair changed to her amazing soft and silky raven black hair and my hazel eyes changed to her gold speckled, jade green eyes.
"HA! I was right!" Iggy yelped.
I waved my hand dismissively and said, "Go do your happy dance somewhere else."
"Wait, but you're not Max," Maya pointed to my hair.
"Coral, do I have your permission to wash this horrid dye from my hair?" I asked in a polite, pompous tone. She laughed a little but nodded, an evil smile playing on her lips. "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" I yelled quickly, realizing what she was about to do. In about two seconds I was soaked to the bone but the dye was gone.
"So not what I meant, Coral," I muttered with closed eyes, wiping away some water. I opened my eyes to see my family trying not to laugh. I glared at them, forgetting about everyone else. "You're all dead."
I snapped my fingers and Coral was soaked like me. I stretch out my arms and move the water from me to Venus; getting her "amazing" hair wet.
I laughed, and she glared at me, "Oh, Maxi, you're a dead woman." I felt myself be picked up and knew that she was lifting me with the air. I was still laughing though.
I felt myself fall, and didn't mind that I went crashing down. I just got up and snapped my fingers, but I accidently made Jade's shirt light on fire.
"AH! MAX!" She yelled and I'm sorry, but I laughed. She snapped her fingers and the fire was gone. "What did I do?"
"Oops, that was for Venus," I said with a big smile.
She glared at me, "Dead for sure." Soon I was ecstatic. Then sad. I started breaking down right there. Then I was laughing.
"No! Jade! I thought we said no more emotion controlling!" I whined, knowing that was partially her fault. She just laughed.
"Let's see who's laughing now," I muttered, putting my hands in front of me like a witch about to say a spell, and made spiders appear. She started shrieking like Nudge. I laughed, clutching my stomach, I laughed along with the others.
"OH heck to the nah!" Jade shrieked, making vines climb up Flames pants.
"AH! NO! NO!" Flame said, burning the vines just to see them reappear. Now Jade was laughing.
It was a war; a war of fears and laughs.
Venus made tornados appear, pushing us closer until we were bunched together like sardines and Coral would dump water on us, both of the girls cackling.
"REALLY?" I shouted at my (again) soaked clothes. I looked at Jade and she nodded. They were dead. Dead I say! I disappeared first, creeping up behind Venus and whispered in her ear, just like in that movie we saw a few weeks ago.
"Let me in…come play…free me…" Venus let out a bloodcurdling shriek and Jade burst out laughing.
"OOF!" I groaned as her elbow collided with my stomach. I fell to the ground, clutching my stomach laughing, knowing everyone could see me.
"MAX!" She screeched, her eyes dark and stormy.
"Oh no…" I was barely able to run behind Storm before a blast of wind sent Storm into the wall.
"WHAT'D I DO?" He shouted and I laughed, wiping away a tear. Wind pushed me into the couch and I was upside down, my head dangling off the bottom and my legs kicking on the top.
Then Valencia had to ruin our fun. "WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?" She shouted when she appeared in the doorway. I lifted my head to see her.
"HI!" I said and waved at her. She didn't look pleased. Her hands were on her hips, anger still boiling in her eyes.
Then her eyes shot to me and asked me, "Max, what happened?" I shrugged.
"We were just having some fun." She gaped at me. I sighed, mom's I tell you. They never understand. "Where's Snow?" She asked and my flock burst out laughing, me with them.
"What?"
I raised my hand, "Right here, ma'am!" Confusion flashed in her eyes and sadness swept through me. She didn't even know it was me…

"Fine, sure," I said to Jade as I applied some eyeliner. I know, I know, the great Maximum Ride wearing….make-up! NONSENSE! But I am. Jade and I have days of the week for school and today is Monday, so….it's make-up day.
Then I applied some mascara, a natural pink lipstick, some blush to define my cheekbones, and red eye shadow outlining the top of my eyeliner. I looked at Jade and nodded, "I told you to just keep it." She shrugged and went to stand next to me by our make-up mirror.
She was wearing a black shirt with Paramore's Monster album on it with black skinny jeans and light/ dark gray Vans. She put on some dark brown eyeliner, natural lipstick, blush, and dark green eye shadow to match her shirt. She put her arms out and twirled, "What'd do you think?"
I nodded approvingly, "Awesome, me?" I twirled and she nodded with the same approval. I was wearing a white shirt that said in black bold letters, 'I HATE THIS SHIRT' with the R in shirt crossed out with a red marker. It came like that and I fell in love with it at the store. I had dark skinny jeans on and dark blue converse on.
We went downstairs and everyone was already there, well Nudge and Ella were missing, but everyone else was there. "You guys still do that?" Venus asked and we nodded.
"Duh, it's our thing," I answered with a smirk. I plopped down next to Storm and he passed me a bowl of cereal. "Aw, my favorite!" I used a fake baby voice and clapped like a girly-girl. Jade laughed and Storm smirked at me. I shrugged.
"So where's mine?" Jade asked, her eyebrows rising. He laughed.
"Like I could forget the girl who tried to kill me!" We all laughed and the flock stared at us as he passed her a bowl of cereal.
She faked disgust and said, "It'll do, Storm. Next time, I expect pancakes." He gave her a look and she laughed. "I'm serious, Stormy-pants, pancakes." Then Nudge and Ella walked in, their jaws dropping at the sight of me and Jade.
"SHE'S WEARING MAKE-UP! THE WORLD'S ENDING!" I just shrugged.
"It's Monday," Jade replied nonchalantly. I nodded, eating a more of my cereal. Pain seeped through me and I ignored it. You have to make it, Max. You have to make it… I let out a soft breath and ate more of my breakfast. I could tell Jade was feeling it to.
A hand flew to her mouth and she said, "I don't feel too good." I was out of the room running with her to the bathroom before anyone could over-think what she just said.
I held her hair back as she threw up in the toilet. I rubbed her back and tried not to hurl myself. I knew everyone was watching as she flushed the toilet. She leaned against the wall next to the toilet and closed her eyes. I helped her stand as she washed her mouth. "You idiot…" She started and I was looking for my laugh, "You freaking gave me the poisoned bowl, Max was supposed to get that!" I laughed and shook my head at her.
Storm put his arms up in surrender, "Hey! You said the blue bowl and there were two blue bowls!" Now our entire flock was laughing, only my old one didn't think it was as funny.
"Damn, I ruined my lipstick," Jade moaned in a falsetto voice. I laughed even more. "Oh, Jadey, what am I going to do with you!"

When we walked in the school, we were crowded immediately, it was just like before. I high-fived guys, hugged girls, and laughed with my flock. "Maxi!" I heard a male voice yell in a falsetto voice and I turned to see Josh with his arms outstretched.
I laughed and ran to him, "JOSHY!" I gave him a bear-hug and laughed. 'Joshy' was my first friend here and was awesome. He was the school clown before we came to town and we totally burned him.
When he finally put me down Jade gave him a bear hug. "Wassup my friends?" He shouted at us and Venus smiled at him a little. She must feel lonely; she just barely made it into this year, so she was no longer with Coral. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and thought: you okay?
A small sigh escaped her lips: No, but I'll make it through the day. The Joshy guy is kind of cute, not really my type though. Because while we're on the run we should have a 'type' right? But I just nodded, not wanting to ruin her mood even more. Jade grabbed my arm and said loudly, "We have to go get out schedules, onward little one!" I just laughed and let her drag me to the office.
On the way she stopped me a little, but continued walking, "It's hurting more." I nodded, trying to make it look like I was happy.
"We should tell them." She shook her head and I understood, "They'd act differently. No more fun. No more loving stupid family." I heard the bitterness in her voice. I understood her. That's all we wanted, a stupid loving family. Because that's all we have to live for. It's all we want in our life. It's how we want to spend the rest of our short lives.
A/N: So what do you think is wrong with them? SUSPENSE! The next chapter will have the entire day of school and maybe more, because not too much happens at school... if you're catching my drift.
Yours Truly Forever...
ME!
