AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hellooo!

Let me start off by bowing down at your feet and kowtowing. Thank you so much for the two lovely reviews, which means I now have… a grant total of EIGHT. If I'm not wrong. My Mathematics is utter crap. Anyways, to show my gratitude, I'm starting earlier! (Just so I don't confuse you as much with my inane babble, I write my A/N based on the order. So this A/N would be before I started writing the chapter.)

I'm going to cut the crap and get to the chapter already. ENJOY!

~ILQX~

SUMMARY:

Maximum Ride and her merry band of winged mutants are here to save the world... again. Of course, they have to save the world AND receive an education, while dealing with the love triangle between Max, Fang and Iggy and maybe... someone else? Fax/ Miggy.

DISCLAIMER:

Last time I checked, I'm not a man and I don't have a receding hairline, so no, I'm not James Patterson. While I do not own Maximum Ride, I do own a lot of Famous Amos cookies. Seriously, my mom nearly went berserk buying them. But that's a story for another day.


WARNING:

Language, language, language! What can I say? Lissa's crazy and I'm not responsible for anything she says.

Maximum Ride's Point Of View

As you might imagine, I wasn't downright thrilled with the fact that Jeb was gracing us with his presence today. Well, let's face it; I wasn't exactly thrilled with anything I had to do today but seeing that traitor just made everything about ten times worse.

"Hello, Max."

"Jeb." I nodded coldly at him, not letting my guard down. I was pleased to note that the rest of the flock glared stonily at him, as they should. All except Angel, who was beaming happily at Jeb. I should probably have a word with her.

"Welcome back to the Day and Night School! It's so great to have you guys back again." Ms.

Hamilton, the fairly harmless lady who had shown us around the first time, beamed at us.

I tuned out the conversation as she briefed us on our schedule at the school and started taking note of all the possible escape routes. I was just exulting over the first thing that had gone right today, the open space where the school was situated, perfect for taking-off from, when my day abruptly went downhill again.

"Oh my god, Nick! Is that you?" A girl with a waterfall of stylishly tousled reddish-gold curls came out of nowhere and hugged him. Of course, with the way my today was going, I should have expected nothing less than to see the Red-Haired Wonder Bitch, Lissa. Hmm… actually this might be the perfect chance to get my revenge on her.

"Uhh… Hi?" Fang extracted himself from her vice-like grip.

"Don't you remember me? Lissa? You know, the girl you went out with in Virginia before you just took off without saying goodbye?" She looked expectantly at him with her arms crossed and her hip jutting out. Of course, that just further pronounced her cleavage which was proudly on display for the world to ogle.

"Sure, I remember you…" Fang trailed off, sending SOS signals with his eyes behind Lissa's back, pleading for me to intervene before things got messy. I held up my hand, waiting for the perfect moment.

"Well, you should welcome your girlfriend appropriately then, silly." Lissa smiled enticingly, trailing a perfectly manicured finger down Fang's chest suggestively. I was already seeing red but I just needed to draw it out a little… longer. She leaned forward, giving him an unobstructed view all the way down her shirt and her lips parted slightly, expecting his lips but coming up with empty air as he swiftly stepped out of her grip.

"I don't think that's such a great idea, Lissa." Damn straight.

"Whatever do you mean, Nick? I mean, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?" The Red-Haired Bitch widened her heavily mascaraed eyes to accentuate her point.

"Well… now that you mention it." I made my grand entrance, making it a point to brush my lips against Fang's before turning to face her.

"What the fuck? You're his fucking sister, you crazy bitch." She laughed derisively at me.

"Didn't you get the memo? Oh, sorry, I guess you weren't on our mailing list then. His name isn't Nick, it's Fang and he sure as hell isn't my brother." I smiled triumphantly at her while Fang wrapped an arm around my waist and whispered an 'I love you' into my ear.

"Nick, tell me this isn't true." She pleaded to Fang, her big blue eyes wide and shimmering with tears.

"Sorry, Liss. What do you want me to say?" Fang shrugged as "Liss" dissolved into tears.

"Is something going on here?" Ms. Hamilton asked us in concern. I realised that everyone had stopped talking and were staring at us. Oops?

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Hamilton. Liss over here's going a bit hysterical," I leaned in closer to whisper loudly into her ear, "She's having a few mental issues now." Ms. Hamilton nodded and gestured for the security guards to lead Lissa away.

"You fucking, shit-eating, slutty whore!" Lissa screamed, pointing a trembling finger at me as a security guard started coaxing her away gently.

"Bite me." I mouthed as the security guards gave up the gentle, soothing route and took the grab-her-by-the-elbows route, dragging her away kicking and screaming.

I love my life.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hi! I'm aware that this isn't the best chapter I've ever written but I had SO much fun writing this. I guess I'm just spiteful that way. Anyhows, thanks for reading and please review! There might be a few spelling and grammatical errors because I don't have enough time to check everything.

Hugs,
