MPOV

I awake to a hyperactive sixteen year old jumping on my bed.

"Maxie! Time to wakeeeyyyy!" Iggy exclaims. I groan.

"Go away!" I yell throwing a pillow at him.

"No bacon for Maxie!" He responds, I jump out of bed.

"I'M UP!" I yell at the top of my lungs.

He laughs and runs out of my room. I pull on black skinny jeans and a red v neck. I grab my converse and bag and head downstairs.

Iggy hands me my breakfast, and I inhale it. Ari walks out of his room all dressed and showered.

"Not dressed to impress I see?" He says to me and Iggy.

"I DO WHAT I WANT!" Iggy yells, Ari is about to respond to him but Gazzy walks out and asks for his breakfast.

Ari pushes us out the door, since we only have one car we have to walk. Iggy skips ahead of us and I roll my eyes. There is something wrong with that boy.

"So Gaz, are you excited for ninth grade?" I ask with mock enthusiasm.

"How did you know?" He responds sarcastically. I laugh and ruffle his hair, he glares at me, as we arrive at the school.

We all head to the office to get our schedules. Iggy and I have the exact same one, and Gazzy is in the other building, but we get to see him at lunch.

"Bye Gaz" I say to him.

"Bye Gazzy. Remember HUGS NOT DRUGS. CRACK IS WACK!" Iggy yells at the top of his lungs. Gazzy puts his head down and pretends he doesn't know him as people give Iggy weird looks.

"Come on Ig" I say dragging him in a random direction.

After a couple of minutes of aimless walking I have no idea where we are.

"You have no idea where we are either right?" Iggy checks

"No clue" I reply. He sighs.

"It seems we're in a bit of a pickle" He says.

"But don't worry. I well get us out" He says striking the "Charlie's Angel" pose.

I laugh, and we continue walking in random directions.

"Um, are you lost?" A deep voice behind me says. I jump.

I turn around to see Fang, the guy from last night.

"Nope" Iggy replies.

"What the hell Ig? Um yeah. We're lost" I answer.

"NEVER GIVE IN!" Iggy yells. I shush him and turn to Fang, handing him our schedule.

He nods and we follow him.

We all walk into the classroom, I assume that Fang's in this class too.

Everybody looks up as we walk in. Whispers start immediately. The teacher turns to us.

"You must be Maximum and James" The teacher says. I hear laughs at my name.

"Uh I go by Max" I tell her.

"And I go by batman" Iggy says, seriously.

I roll my eyes, as the class laughs.

"Do we call you James?" The teachers asks.

"As I sai-" He starts to say, but I cut him off.

"He's Iggy" I tell her. She nods. And Iggy glares at me.

She assigns us seats I'm In front of Fang and behind Iggy. I honestly have no idea what the teacher is talking about so I decided that the logical explanation is to sketch.

Someone kicks the back of my chair. I turn around to glare at Fang. He motions to the front. Everyone is staring at me including the teacher. Shit.

"Maximum what am I teaching?" She asks me. I look at the board behind her. Everything is erased. I glance at my schedule. Math.

"I think your teaching math" I answer. She sighs,

"I'll let you off with a warning because it's your first day, but next time pay attention" She says. I nod and the bell rings.

Iggy and I run out, a Hispanic girl runs up to us.

"Hi I'm Ella" She says smiling. I nod at her. Yep that's me. Socially awkward Max.

"I'm Iggy. Want to be friends?" He asks in a three year old voice. She laughs.

"Sure" She replies.

"YAY! HA! Suck it Max. I made a friend before you!" He yells. A couple people give him weird looks. I turn to the stranger next to me.

"Want to be best friends?" I ask her, glaring at Iggy.

"Sure" She laughs, "I'm Angel"

"Max" Then I turn to Iggy. "Ha! I have a best friend. So there" I say

His lower lip trembles.

"I didn't say best friend, cause that's you buddy" He says, fake crying.

I roll my eyes. "Fine Ig we're best friends. I'm sorry" I say to him.

"YAY! Twinkies! Oh and ain't no thang but a chicken wang" He says shrugging.

"Oh my god. I swear if you don't stop saying that-" He cuts me off by turning to Ella.

"Do you know where this class is?" He asks her, pointing to his schedule.

She nods, "Angel and I are in that too, let's go" She says turning around and walking.

We arrive at the door and we walk in, a teacher who looks mean is writing crap on the board.

"I'm Mr. Bruce. Two facts about yourselves go" He says turning to me and Iggy.

Creepy much? Iggy opens his mouth, and I'm sure it's gunna be inapropro so I cut him off.

"I'm Max. Fact one. I have a twin" I gesture at Iggy. "And fact two I uh. Have a little brother" I say. The teacher glares at me, like my answers weren't "suitable" Just wait till he hears Iggy.

"I'm Igniteus. Fact one. I'm the person who started ain't no thang but a chicken wang. Fact two. I have a twin sister. And I can read her mind" He says. I roll my eyes as people laugh. Mr. Bruce glares at him. And it's really awkward cause we're just like standing there. And he's staring at us, no joke, for like fifteen minutes.

"Uh. Can we sit down?" Iggy asks.

"You must raise your hand in my class" He says narrowing his eyes. Okayy. Someone drank their haterade. I raise my hand to piss him off.

"Yes?" He asks glaring at me.

"Can we sit down?" I ask him.

"I don't know can you?" He says. "I hate him" Iggy mutters under his breath.
Luckily, Dylan and I figured out what to say to teachers when they say that.

"When I was using "can" I was using its secondary model as a verbal modifier asking for permission, as opposed to expressing an ability. I thought since you were a teacher you would know that. MY bad. MAY we sit down" I say to him. A lot of people laugh, and Mr. Bruce looks at me, and if looks could kill I would be buried. He opens his mouth, probably to give me detention but the bell rings.

"Oops. Gotta go bye" I say. And I grab Iggy and get the H outta there.

The rest of the day passes uneventfully, and finally it's time for lunch. Ella and Angel asked us to sit with them and their friends, so we follow them to a table. Sitting there is Nudge, Fang, Gazzy, and a blonde guy.

"Hey Gaz. Sorry I haven't seen you all day" Iggy says in a weird voice. Everyone looks at him confused and I just sigh, cause I know what he's trying to do.

"Hey Ig, And ain't no thang but a chicken wang" He answers. I groan. Everyone at the table laughs.

"Hi I'm Sam" The blonde guy says. That makes me think of my old friends because my friend was named Sam.

"I'm Max"

"I'm Iggy"

"Gazzy"

Conversation goes on around me. I'm just being socially awkward and like eating and staring at people. I pull my phone out and see I have a text from Dylan.

(underline- Dylan, italics – Max)

Maxieee! I'm bored and I miss you! Whatcha doin? Text me dooode!

Hey dyl. I'm just being an awkward penguin at the lunch table. What about you?

Hahah. Oh Maxx. Watching Sam try to eat his fist. Bahah. Totally not working.

Ugggh. Tell Sam it's never gunna happen! Gosh I miss ya'll so much!

He like almost started crying. Bahaha. And I knowww me tooo

Uggh sorry Dyl I have to go. I don't want to be too awkward…

Kay dooode. Text ya later.

I look up from my phone and everyone is staring at me.

"What?" I ask them.

"I asked if on Friday ya'll wanted to spend the night, and Iggy and Gazzy said to ask you" Nudge explains.

"I think that's okay" I tell her.

"Great" She says smiling.

"Wait. Ig. We're you paying attention when Ari yelled at us yesterday?" I ask him.

"HA! No. Why? He asks me.

"I think we might be grounded" I say uncertainly.

"You don't know if you're grounded?" Sam asks us, laughing.

"Ari grounds us so much" Gazzy tells him.

"Wait. I don't think we are" Iggy tells me.

"Okay. Then we can come" I tell everyone.

"Great" Ella adds again.

So looks like I have a sleepover next Friday.

Challenge Accepted.
