A/N: Hey Im back w/ another chappie. I thought I should clarify when Travis isn't in his alternate personality he doesn't like Max like that at all I just thought I should say that because that is supposed to show how big a flirt he is in that form.

The next day
Travis POV
I came back this morning when everyone was sleeping. I tried so hard not to wake anyone up, but before I could get to the stairs to go up to my room I heard someone moving upstairs. I looked up and noticed Max at the top of the stairs. "Im sorry for last night I didn't mean to do any of that I ..." Max held up her hand and stopped me.
" I know you couldn't control yourself. But you don't like me like that do you?"she asked obviously hoping Id say no.
" No way. I don't like you like that. I like you more like a sister or some other close family member. But definitely not like that." We both laughed for a second.
I looked up at the time on the microwave. It was 8 in the morning. Great now I'll get no sleep. Just great. " You can go get some sleep Travis. I mean tomorrow we start school. You don't want to be tired for that do you?" Max told me obviously seeing how tired I was.
"Thanks, I think I will don't want to go all skitz in the middle of class from lack of sleep." I said with a chuckle. " That would be bad." I smiled and went up to bed. When I got into the room I dropped onto the bed and immediately crashed.
Max POV
It was now 3 in the afternoon, I heard someone move upstairs and I knew it was Travis because everyone else is down here. Iggy and Nudge are teamed up in a game of Monopoly with Angel and Gazzy. Fang and me were helping my mom and Ella cook dinner. A few minutes later Travis came walking down in his usual black dickies hoodie and black baggy pants, if you didn't know any better you'd say he was imitating Fang. But there were many differences between Fang and Travis for one Fang never showed emotions while Travis was always laughing and joking around whenever he got the chance. The other, Travis only wore black because it was the easiest to wash. Fang wore black because he hated bright colors.
" Mornin' everyone. What's for breakfast?" I don't think he realized what time it was because he was serious.
" It's 3 in the afternoon and you want breakfast?" I asked jokingly. But I got a nod and a hungry stomach growling. " Mom do we have any more pancakes left?"
" Yeah but you'll have to heat them up." mom pointed to where they were.
Travis POV
I heated up the pancakes and when they were done I dug into them. I was starving after all that running I did last night. I had ran to the school we'd be going to. I wanted to see if it would be far enough to take the bus. I loved the bus when I used to go to school. But yeah we would probably have to take the bus.
"Everyone school starts tomorrow so were going school shopping today because Im not having you guys going to school looking like you just crawled out of a dumpster." Dr. Martinez told us after I had finished eating.
1 hour later
We all piled into the mini van and drove to Wal-Mart. Thank God there is a Wal-Mart everywhere. It was a ten minute drive from the house to the store. We all walked in the store and Dr. Martinez said " Ok everyone, you have an hour to go gather clothes and school supplies and meet me back here. Ok?"
I was looking around for a faded blue pair of jeans when a girl walked up to me. "Hey, Ive never seen you before. Where you from?" she was perky but not preppy somewhere in the middle. I looked up and saw a piece of heaven. Her brunette hair was flowing right above her shoulders, her blue eyes looked like pools of water that noone had ever found. I must have been staring for quite some time because she waved her hand in front of my face and asked, " Hey, are you alright?"
" Yeah Im sorry. Who are you?"
" I believe I asked you first."
" Oh yeah, Im Travis... Travis Martinez." oh why did I go by that name. I mean Im probably going to go by that name in school anyway so I guess its ok.
"Nice to meet you Travis. Im Rose, Rose Collins. Are you going to go to Jefferson High School. Because that's where I go."
"Yeah, I just moved here with my family." good lie Travis, I mentally patted myself on the back.
" What grade are you going into?"
" Eleventh grade so Im a Junior I think." She smiled really wide.
"That's what Im going into also." she squealed, " Oh, I hope we get some classes together." I already knew why she was so happy, its because she was hitting on me and I guess it was going good.
"Yeah we'll probably end up with some classes together or like the same lunch." she squealed.
" Ok well bye." she turned around and left.
"Well that was weird."
"What was weird?" Nudge asked grinning evilly at me coming from behind a rack of clothes.
"Nothing, just a girl."
"Just a girl? Because she really liked you and not in the way like a friend likes another friend. More like in the way a girlfriend likes her boyfriend, isn't that wierd because she just met you and everything. You know if she really" I put my hand over her mouth because she was starting to give me a headache.
I finished up my shopping and met everyone by the checkout lines. I told them about the girl and everyone started cracking up.
Max POV
Travis told us of some girl that was freaking out about him and we all cracked up. My laughing was interrupted by, who else but Jeb himself
'All the girls are going to be falling head over heels for him.'
Why is that?
'He was one in a new line of experiments where we overdid the pheromone level in his body in otherwords. Girls that see him before they talk to him fall madly in love with him. I doesn't work on two types of people; the flock members and girls that have heard his voice before seeing him.'
Wow is that a power or just you whitecoats being a-holes and messing around with biological structures again?
As usual Jeb didn't answer when I asked him a question.
" Travis what are pheromones?" Angel asked reading my mind again.
"Well there a chemical the body let's off when an animal is in heat or in some cases its on all the time. Think of it as perfume." man Travis is smart.
"Oh ok. Thanks."
"No problem. Now why do you ask?"
"Well max was talking to the voice in her head and they said you had an extreme amount of pheromones." Travis' eyes opened really wide and his mouth widened into a big smile.
We left the store and we all knew why all the girls were staring at Travis.
