Max's P.O.V.

A week later what do you find? Ella and I walking on to a school bus with my bag and pass port. Mom made us pack the next day. Well Ella packed. Everything I pt in my bags Ella took out, and put in things I would never wear. Not even to save my life. So yesterday, while Ella was asleep I put everything I originally packed back. Just, don't tell Ella.

I sat next to the window, putting my bags under the seat and Ella by my side. Being the social person she is she was already in a conversation with a mocha girl in the seat in front of us. Being the anti social person I am I didn't talk to anyone, just stared out the window listening to Linkin Park on my iPod.

Eventually, Ella ditched me and joined the girl she was speaking to.

Why did I agree to come to this dumb camp any way? What was the point of it? I'm a "gifted individual" because they think so? What makes me qualified to have such a title any way?

The sound if weight on the bus seat made me look over to see who sat next to me.

It was a boy, my age, he was dressed in all black, and he even had black hair. I couldn't tell what colour his eyes were since his head was turned the other way. He didn't look in much mood to talk so I left him be.

"Hello, I'm Angel, short for Angelina."

I turn in my seat to see a little girl with blond curls and bright blue eyes.

"Hi, I'm Max." I smiled slightly at the girl.

"Have you been to Pine Lake before? This is my first time. I hear it's really fun if you can get in it." Angel said resting her arms on the back of my seat.

I shake my head. "This is my first year too. I came here only 'cause my mom made me."

"You didn't want come here? This camp is the best in like the world! Or it comes close anyway. My brother Gazzy told me so. He said he found it on the internet."

"Gazzy? His name is Gazzy?" I asked surprised.

Angel shook her head quickly. "No, no, his actual name is Lucas. But he's been the Gasman ever since he was born. You can probably guess how." She giggled.

"Yes I can."

Angel glanced around the bus. "The only down part for me is that I'm probably the only seven year old here." She pouted. I suddenly had the impulse to comfort her, to make her happy again. Like I would a little sister, like I would for Ella if she ever cried when a guy dumped her.

"I don't think you're going to be the only seven year old at this camp. There might be another one wondering what you are right now." I smiled reassuringly at her.

Then with out warning the entire bus was filled with toxic smells.

"Gazzy!" Angel yelled. Everyone turned to glare at the one unaffected, smirking boy on the bus. He looked about ten.

I covered my nose with my shirt and hoped he wouldn't decide to let another round go. Poor Angel having to deal with this on a daily basis.

When the air was breathable again the guy next to me decided to speak.

"So it's Max?"

"Yeah. And you are?" I looked at him again, he was now facing me and I could tell that his eyes are dark and endless and you could just get lost in them…no bad Max. You swore to a boy free summer.

"Fang." He said simply.

"Wow, I've defiantly found Suzie Talks A Lot."

Fang smirked. "Yep."

"MAX!"

I sighed and rolled my eyes at the sound of my sister screeching my name even though I was right behind her.

"What?" I responded slightly ticked.

"This is Hilary. She prefers to be called Nudge."

"Hi, Ella's told me about you. You're Max right? Aren't you so excited about this camp? I'm so excited. This is my first year for going. I heard there's something for everyone. I heard there are art lessons! I love art! I love drawing different clothes. I want to be a fashion designer when I grow up. Or a model. Get to show the world all the new cool fashions. Oh my gosh that would be so fun! I love clothes. Do you love clothes? I love wearing pink and gold and purple. What were we talking about?"

I was staring at her in awe. How can someone talk so much? The total opposite of Fang here.

"I think we were talking about this stupid camp." I pointed out.

"So you're not excited for the camp?" Nudge said.

"How many times am I going to have to repeat the story? No, I'm not. I-"

The bus swerved, throwing me into Fang who was more stable then I was and caught me. That left me in the uncomfortable position of my head resting on his chest, causing Ella, Nudge and Angel to all giggle at the same time. I glared at Ella and Nudge since they were the ones I could see.

"Can I get up now?" I asked looking up at him. Fang looked down at me, held me a second longer before letting me go.

I turned to glare at Angel too before trying to see what caused the bust to swerve. But I couldn't see a thing. Must have been a deer. I reasoned with myself.

"We are coming up to the border pass ports out please." The bus driver yelled.

I put my iPod away and got my pass port ready. Not much farther to go. Joy.

I know those aren't the normal names for the Flock members but I wanted to be different and they made sense. Hilary means cheerful and Nudge is pretty cheerful. And Angelina means little angel. Lucas…I just like that name, anyway, next chapter, Pine Lake! REVIEW! Please.
