Howdy! How are you guys doing? Just wanted to say thanks for the 2 reviews :) I'm introducing new characters in this chapter. Okay..here we go..
Disclaimer: I do not own Max or any other characters. James Patterson does. hehe :P
2 years later…
Max's Pov:
"In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh
There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you, let's hear it for New York
New York, New York
(I made you hot, nigga)
Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game
Shit, I made the Yank-"
"Will you both shut up, please? I know we're in New York and all, but your horrible singing is killing my ears! Gaaah!" Lisa yelled from the front of the bus. Lisa Montgomery. Eeew. Even if she's got the beautiful piercing clear emerald green eyes, she can still be passed as a slut; due to her fashion choices. Yep. Like really, who wears tube tops with mini skirts that can basically be passed as underwears? Oh, also the fact that she has a different "boy toy" every single week.
Blaine and me turned to look at her with a smirk on our faces. "Aaaw, little Lissa baby here mad she can't sing?" Blaine said, in a baby voice, and then stuck his tongue out at her. "Ugh, so immature," she muttered, as she put her earphones back in her ears.
Blaine Smith is my new best guy friend. Yep. He- aka, Fang had been replaced right after he left. After my dad died, Blaine transferred to our school. He was the person who was able to put up with my problems and turned me back into my old self again. I swear, if it weren't for him, I would have still been the depressed, messed up girl I was 1 year ago. Not only that, but my best friend also got the looks! He stood at 6''3' with his long, messy sandy blonde hair that will always be spiked up, similar to One Directions' Zayne Malik's (He is HOT!) hair, but what's more amazing about him is his blue eyes. His eyes are one of the most beautiful pairs that I had ever seen in my life. I promise, if you see him, you will not be able to take your eyes off his captivating blue eyes.
How did we get wind up in New York? Well, at Burbank High, the top 13 seniors in the performing arts class/ program gets to go up to New York to receive extra training/ practice by a professional coach for 7 months, then they get to compete with other schools, depending on what their talents are. So, for example, if you're in the singing group, you will get to compete with other school's singing groups and if you're in the dancing group, you compete with other school's dancing groups. Out of all the 13 students competing this year, only 6 students, Blaine, Ella, Nudge, Angel, Gazzy, and me are in the singing group. And the other 7; Lisa, Katie, Dee, Daniel, Sunshine, John and Jake are competing in the dancing competition. The best school in every state gets to send up 13 seniors to go compete each year, so in Arizona, Burbank High School is going. Yay! And the cool thing is that if your group wins, you get a $10,000 scholarship for whichever college you choose to go to, which is a LOT! Double yay! And we also get to stay in New York for the whole 3 months of summer. Triple yay! So basically, we get to stay in New York City for 7 MONTHS! Yay!
I know, I know. You're probably wondering if we still go to school or not while we're in New York and the answer is…. sadly yes. And yes, it's also the whole 6 hours a day, but the good thing is we only have class 3 days a week due to our training sessions. We were told that a teacher will come by the hotel and we'll use an extra room for a classroom for Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday everyday for class. Since we're gonna get the same teacher for the next 5 months, hopefully I'm on his/her good side.
Okay, back to topic. We had just got out of the plane after two long, excruciating days and are currently piled in our coach bus, heading to our hotel. "Maaaax? Helloo? Earth to Max!" Blaine yelled in my ear. "Aaah! What the heck was that for?" I asked, while rubbing my ear. "Look outside, idiot. We're here!" Nudge replied in front of my seat.
During the last two years, Nudge's looks had changed a lot, considering the fact that she is now 18! Now, she is standing at 5'5', which is still shorter than my 5'8, but she had really matured and her looks had just gotten more beautiful.
We followed our supervisor for the trip, Miss. Scott, inside the 4- star hotel. After she gave us our room keys, we all headed towards the elevators to get to the 8th floor, while some hotel staff carried our stuff for us. Because of our 7 month stay and because our school was super, super rich, the whole 8th floor was ours, which was about...25-30 rooms. Yes, all ours! As soon as we picked our room, Miss. Scott told us to unpack, then we'll head out to take a tour around Central Park. I picked the room all the way at the end of the hallway, with Nudge beside me (on my left), Blaine across from me, Ella next to Nudge, Gazzy next to Ella, and Angel next to Blaine. Luckily Lisa's and Miss. Scott's rooms were at the other end of the hallway. Whew. No sluts or supervisor near me.
-LINE-LINE-LINE-LINE-LINE-
Wow. New York was… wow. We, meaning Blaine, Angel, Ella, Nudge, Gazzy, and me had separated from the rest of the group for the tour and now we were resting on a bench in Central Park. I looked at everyone's happy and exhausted face with a smile on my face until I looked at Nudge. Oh-oh. Three… Two… One. "Oh my gosh! Did you guys see M&M's tweet saying that she will be filming her next album in New York, specifically, New York City? Like, Oh. My. Freakin. Gosh! I'll get to see a famous celebrity in my life! Oh! Do you guys also know that her boyfriend, Nicholas, is also here too, for his own album and fashion shows? Damn! That boy is sexy! Oh, the other sexy model, what's his name. James? Yeah! James will also be here too. I'm livin' the li-" Blaine covered his hands over her mouth.
"Thank god. Thank you very much!" I yelled out to him. Who the heck is M&M and Nicholas? But oh, well. I don't really care anyways. Ever since Maya left us, I ignored all these famous people and celebrity crap, fearing that I might see Maya's face on a magazine. I don't think I would be able to face her yet... "Oooh, I'm hungry.." my twin brother, Gazzy moaned out, while clutching his stomach.
Don't ask. He's called Gazzy or the Gasman for a reason. Even though we are twins, we are complete opposites. He stands at 6''0', which is.. Tall. He's only 3 minutes and 36 seconds older than me, and he never, and I mean, NEVER let me forget. He's got blonde hair and blue eyes from my dad, unlike me who has brown eyes from my mom and dirty blonde hair. Even though our looks are completely different, we still have a lot of similarities; like, our sarcasm and our way of thinking.
"Let's just go back to the hotel and order room service," Ella suggested. Ella was gorgeous! Gazzy should be proud to have a girlfriend like her. She's got dark brown hair and the same eye color as her hair, which was really amazing.
"Sure," Angel answered. Angel is really, really sweet. Her shoulder length natural curly blond hair will always bounce on her head every time she moves it, which I found really cute. But her hair really brings out the light blue color of her eyes. And, really, she lives up to her name though. But what's more adorable about her is that even at 17, she still has a cute baby face. Aaaw!
"Hey, Max?" Blaine said as we made our way back to the hotel. "What?" I answered while turning towards him. He nodded behind me and whispered "That dude is staring at your ass." I rolled my eyes and turned around, and yep, there was a guy around my age staring at me. You can't blame me, man. Even Nudge, Ella, and Angel agreed that I got a nice body. As I looked at him, he walked over to me, smirking. "What's up, baby?" he said, receiving a glare from me. "Are your feet tired?" he asked. "No? Why would it be tired?" I replied confusedly. "Well, you've been running in my mind ever since I saw you, 5 minutes ago," he finished, smiling cockily. That's it.
"First of all, I don't even know you. Second of all, don't call me baby. Third of all, get out of my face, you douchebag," I fished with a glare.
"Mmmm. Feisty one, aren't you?" he said, as he attempted to wrap his arms around my waist. I quickly slapped his hands away and punched him in the nose, smirking when I heard the satisfying crunch of his nose. I leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "Feisty ones are tough. Comprendre?" and with that, I turned around and walked away.
"Wow! That was fabulous, Maxie!" Blaine yelled next to me, holding out a high five. I slapped his hands away and glared at him. "Don't call me Maxie, Smith."
"Or what?" He challenged. "Or this," I said as I lightly punched him in the stomach. "Ow! Maxie! Stop! I know you're PMSing, but you don't need to take your anger out on me like that," he teased. I rolled my eyes again and kicked him in the shin. "Shut it, Blainie. You know what I am capable of if you get me madder than this. I can either leave you here and let that man seduce you," I said, while pointing at an old guy staring at Blaine, "Or I can kick you where the sun don't shine and you won't be able to produce any mini Blaine's."
"Okay, mother dearest. I surrender." he said as he ruffled my hair. I jumped on his back and made him gave me a piggyback ride back to the hotel. There's a reason why he's my best friend, you know?

As I laid in bed that night, I called my mother and informed her on what happened. Knowing that me and Gazzy left, she will be the only person home. At first, I felt bad for leaving her alone, but no matter what I do, she still made me go, saying that it's a nice opportunity for a scholarship. Aaah. I miss my mother. And I won't get to see her in the next 7 months. Great. Life is super great. (Note the sarcasm).
I sighed as I fell into a deep sleep. Aaah. Tomorrow's going to be a long, long day. Goodnight!
