Chapter 5: Monday
Hi guys! How are y'all doing? Sorry for not updating these past few weeks. You know, school just started and yada, yada. Anyways, I had just got finish reading the reviews for chapter 4, and realized that I haven't got to answer the questions some of you were wondering so…
maximumride04: Is Fang and Maya dating? - Answer: Actually, yes, they are.
Guest: Why is Fang dating somebody who is two years older than him ?-- Answer: I don't know. You'll just have to read and figure out soon.
And now, I present to you...Chapter 5!
Disclaimer: Yada, yada. I know, I know. I don't own Maximum Ride, but I do own this story! :)
Monday. The start of another long week in New York. School. Practice. Red heads. God, I hate, hate, hate, hate Mondays.
It had been two days after the argument with Fang happened, and darling, I tell you, my brother and I had gone famous in New York after that. If you were to pick up a magazine, you would see headlines like "Nick Jones-cheating on M&M?" "New taste of girl for Nick?" "Crazy, violent teen breaks a fight with Nick?" "Who's the lucky, mysterious girl?" "Nick Jones gets into a fight with fan?" "Nick spotted cheating on M&M?" And etc, etc.
And I tell you, it is annoying. I wonder how famous people can live with their life with everybody knowing about their personal life? I know I wouldn't want that.
And.. you guys are probably wondering what I did to Gazzy when he returned back to the hotel? Well, you guessed right. I yelled at him and kicked him into Pluto, then forced him back then kicked him into China. He's probably being shipped here for me again. Just kidding. I didn't do anything to him at all.
*Flashback*
"Gazzy!" I yelled as they entered the hotel floor. He quickly came into my room and closed the door.
"Please don't hate me. I can explain." He said innocently. Too innocent.
That was it. I started laughing. I laughed and laughed and laughed until tears came running down my cheeks. "Don't hate you? I can never hate my oh, so, wonderful brother!" I said while giving him a hug and a pat on the back.
"What?" He asked, confused.
"What? That was fab-u-lous! I know, I know, you were just protecting me and all, but that was fan-tas-tic-o! He deserved that!"
He smirked at me and pulled me into a hug again. "Anything for my little sister." I pushed him away and glared at him? "What? It is the truth."
"Whatever. Get out of here before I send you to Pluto."
"Aiya, Captain." He said while walking towards the door. Once he was at the door, he turned back around and said "And Max?"
"What?"
"I love you, and I'm sorry."
I raised an eyebrow up at him, confused. Then he let one rip and slammed the door, running as fast away as he can.
God, I'm going to kill that boy one day. It literally took me 3 hours and 5 cans of febreeze to get the smell to disappear.
*End of Flashback*
Right. Back to topic. Monday. "School" starts in…"SHOOT!" I mentally yelled in my head. It was already 8…, which means I missed the first hour on my first day already! Damn, one day, just one day, I'll kill those people who I call my friends.
I quickly got out of bed and entered the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I ran into my room again and got on a pair of light blue skinny jeans, a black V-neck t-shirt tied my hair in a loose bun and put on my dark brown combat boots. I rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a granola bar and my brown leather jacket then headed out the door.
Once I was out the door, I face palmed myself. I didn't even know which room it was held in. Annoyed, I walked down the hallway, opening every unlocked door so I could peek inside to see where they are. After going through every single door on this floor with no sign of any living life, I gave up and headed back to my room and texted Blaine.
(Max= Normal Blaine= Bold)
"Where are you guys?!" I sent, while eating my second granola bar. And after a few seconds he texted back.
"Good, morning Sleeping Beauty."
"STFU. WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"Aaw. Did somebody got up on the wrong side of bed today?"
"Blaine Smith. I. Am. Serious. If you do not tell me where you are right now, I will make sure you won't be able to talk for the rest of your pathetic life."
"Mkay, Maxie. Hmmmm, lets see. Due to a particular problem that your brother was involved in, the instructors took us to… the 1st floor, room 0028. See you soon, Sleeping Beauty! ;)"
I rolled my eyes and looked at the time on my phone. 8:45. Well, I'm already late, so a little later won't bother. Taking my time, I ordered up a cup of coffee and grabbed another granola bar. Once my cup of coffee came up, I made my way down to the first floor.
As I walked past every door, I looked at the numbers on the door. 0020...0021...0022…0027...0028. There! I slowly breathe in and breathe out as I stood outside of the door, knowing that once I enter the door, I would be welcomed with yelling by the instructors. Straightening up, I opened the door and walked inside.
Since this wasn't the official "classroom", the room looked like any regular hotel room in the building. My so-called classmates were sitting on couches, on chairs, and on beanbags, looking bored while listening to the instructors lecture about something.
Once everybody was aware of my presence, they all turned to look at me. Blaine and Lisa and her posses all had smug smirks on their faces, while Angel, Ella, and Nudge looked worried. After a few more seconds of silence, I turned to look at the teachers. "Hi?" I said.
One of the instructors was a male. He was pretty tall, probably around 5'9 or 5'10. He had light brown short hair, hazel eyes, and designer glasses on. He's probably around… 21 or 22.
The other instructor was a female. She has shoulder length dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, and also wear similar glasses like the male instructor. She, like the other instructor, also looked around 21-22.
Hhhmm… maybe they're a couple or something. They do look pretty nice together.
"I'm guessing you are Maximum Ride?" the male instructor said.
"That would be me!" I said with a smile.
"Good. Glad you could join us. Since this is my first day with your group, your absence will be excused, but if this happens again, there will be consequences."
"Yes, sir."
"Now, go ahead and pick a seat to sit in. I'm Mr. Jacob Kims and that is Mrs. Anna Days."
I nodded and sat beside Blaine on the 3-person couch.
"Okay, now that everybody is here, we'll continue with introductions," Anna said. "As you all know, Jacob and I had been going out for a few years now. We're both from New York, and this is our third year of teaching USAMAC classes."
Yes! I knew they were an item! For the rest of school time, we continued getting to know each other and playing some boring activity that were meant for us to "engage". But I just had to say.. Anna and Jacob were some cool people!
Once it was 1 o'clock, we were let out of that room and back to our rooms. Blaine and I went straight to our floor's "kitchen/dining room" and dug in.
"Mmm. This. Is. Heaven." I said, between bites of food.
"Totally," Blaine said back.
After a few minutes of silence, Blaine finally spoke up again. "How bad do you think Fang is?"
"Hhhmm, knowing Gazzy… probably a few bruises and a broken nose. What do you think?"
"I don't know. We'll figure out in an hour."
Right. Training. Ugh.
**One hour later
We were all gathered up in the penthouse of the Plaza Hotel once again as we waited for Nancy to say something. Like Friday, everybody who were in there before were all gathered up in there again. Which was us, Nancy, and a few other people that I didn't know. Everybody was here except for… you guess it. Yep, Maya and Fang. They're probably off somewhere making out.
"What's going on?" I whispered to Iggy, who was sitting next to me on the couch.
"I don't know. She's probably mad."
Then we heard hands clapping and we all looked at Nancy.
"Okay," she said as she looked over every one of us. "Due to Friday's events," her eyes locked on mines, "we are behind schedule. Since everybody is here today, we will continue with introductions today. After introductions, you guys will show us what you got, so that I'll know what you need to improve on. Understand?"
Everybody nodded and continued staring at Nancy. "Okay, we'll all start over again. My name is Nancy…yada yada."
"Okay! I want to go around the room, so Ella will go first. You can pick a song, just tell me and I'll put it on," Nancy said after introductions.
In the middle of Ella's song, Maya and Fang came in. After seeing Fang, I looked at Blaine, and as if thinking of the same thing, we both snickered, causing glares to come in our ways from Nancy, Maya, and Fang.
Fang doesn't look all that bad, but he do have three large bruises on both sides of his cheeks and under his right eye. Sadly, no broken nose.
They both walked quickly across the room and sat on the recliner, Maya on Fang's lap. Eeew. I made a gagging face, which caused Iggy and Blaine to snicker.
After Ella was finished with her song, it was Nudge's turn. As her song started, I nodded my head along with the beat.
"Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again
Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo"

Everybody clapped while Nudge grinned widely and bowed dramatically.
"Whooo- hooo! You go, Nudge!" Iggy yelled.
After everybody else went but Blaine and I, it was my turn. I looked at Blaine and raised an eyebrow. Understanding what I'm asking, he nodded.
"Nancy? Max and I were actually thinking of doing a duet..? So… is it okay if we do?"
"Sure, Blaine." She said with a smile, maybe she's not that bad. Nah. She's probably just getting crazy because of his good looks.
(Max= Normal Blaine= underlined italic Both=Bold)
Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah, but this is happenin')
You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh, tear ducts can rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

We both finished while smiling at each other. I gave him a high five, but he decided to hug me instead. Hhhm, it has been a long time since we'd sung together. A week? Two? I don't know, forgot.
While Blaine held me in his death grip, I heard somebody got up and walked to the door. We both looked up and saw Fang walked out the door, slamming it after he got out. Maya followed closely, but before heading out, she turned to me and gave me a glare. I smiled at her and give her a wink, causing her to huff in annoyance.
After practice ended at 6, Blaine, Iggy, and I headed over to Pizza Hut for dinner. Hhhmm, p-i-z-z-a!
"Damn, did I tell you guys that that was fab-u-lous?!" Iggy said. "Like oh my gosh! That totally beats the original! Oh, and daaammnnn, Max! That high note! Damn, you scored it!"
"Yeah, yeah. You told us a million times already," Blaine replied while rolling his eyes.
"I did? Well, I don't remember telling you.."
"Word of advice, Iggy. Stop hanging out with Nudge. You're becoming a Nudge-a-la-tor too."
Iggy looks at me with mock hurt and put a hand over his heart, and said "Ouch. That hurted, mommy." Which caused me to slap him over the head.
After a few minutes of pointless conversation, I heard the bells on the door jingle. They probably hadn't taken the bells off because Christmas had probably just ended. I looked up and… saw the people I don't want to see the most entered. AKA, Nicholas and Maya.
Sitting in the front wasn't hard to get avoid. So, you guessed, they saw us. "Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you guys, I kinda...invited Fang and Maya here also.." Iggy said as he waved them over.
Maya smiled and pulled Fang by his hands over to our table. I watched them curiously as they came over and a feeling I'd never felt before overcame me. Jealousy? No, it can't be. He's a horrible person. I shouldn't like him.
"Hi, Iggy," Maya, said as she looked at Iggy. Then she looked at Blaine, "Hi Blaine." Then she looked at me and nodded, "Max."
"Helloooo"
"Hey"
Instead of saying hi, I scoffed and said "What are you doing here?"
"Well, if you haven't notice, my friend Iggy here has invited me to dinner tonight. What about you? What are you doing here?" she said in a sickly sweet voice.
"Nothing for you to worry about." I said as I sent a glare to Iggy. "Actually, the smell of skanks and emos in here has just increased, so if you'll excuse me, I have got to go. Salut!" I said as I left a $10 dollar bill on the table and made my way away from the table.
As I walked a couple blocks away from Pizza Hut, I suddenly noticed a pair of footsteps following me. I turned around only to meet a pair of oynx eyes and give out a long and loud sigh and said, "What do you want, Nick?"
"To talk."
"There is nothing to talk about," I said as I turned around and started walking again.
"You didn't allow me to talk last time." He said, still following me.
"I guessed you knew why, Fangy-poo."
I heard a low growl and smirked in satisfaction.
"Aaaw, Nicky here is mad? It's okay, I'm positive Maya can cheer you up…. if you know what I mean." I said as I put in arm in the air, meaning "bye".
I heard a louder growl and felt Fang grabbed my wrist that was in the air and pulled me to an alleyway on the back of a random store.
"Nick, you dickhead! Let go of me!" I screamed as loud as I can as I tried to yank myself free from him, but it was only causing him to hold onto my wrist tighter. "Nick, I swear if you do not let go of me right now, I will make sure you will rot in hel-"
"Shut up, Max." Fang yelled angrily as he pushed me up against the ice-cold wall, due to the snow. That act shut me up.
Hhmm, Plan, plan, plan. I could knee him in the crotch and run away.. Yeah, good idea! I looked at my leg to see if it was free then looked at Fang with a sweet smile on my face. As if reading my mind, Fang trapped my legs in his and smirked at me. I glared at him and felt a blush coming to my face, probably due to the close approximately. There was no space in between our body at all. Like literally, you cannot even squeeze in a piece of paper.
"Lighten up, Max," Fang said casually. Oh, it must not be awkward for him because he's probably put a lot of girls in this position. Stupid jerk.
"What do you want, Nick?"
"Hhhm, there are many things I want, but you're probably not going to give them to me…"
"Shut up and get to the point, Jones. What. Do. You. Want.?!" I yelled.
"Sheesh, Max. Shut. Up." He whispered in my ear, his breath tickling my ear, which sent shivers down my spine, causing him to chuckle.
"Get off me, you freak!" I said as I pushed him back, successfully. I managed to run a couple of steps away from him before being smashed up against the wall again, this time with my hands pinned above my head.
I gave a low dangerous growl, glaring darkly at him; causing him to smirk.
"Can't run away from me yet, Maxie," he said, as he looked intensely into my eyes, his face just inches away from me.
TADA! Cliffhanger! This chapter was long, but it's probably just because of the sing lyrics. But, what do you think is going to happen?! I know, I know, Fang is out of character, but I plan on making him talk just a little much in this story… so don't hate!
Question: What's your favorite color?
