Thank you to everyone that reviewed again but guess what? I got no votes on any kid names which makes me kinda sad…. Haha so I am giving you guys one last shot to vote (you can see all the kid names in Ch. 4) and this will be in Fangs Pov since I haven't done him in a while. Im not real good with sounding like a guy so hints on how are very helpful!
Disclaimer for all the other Ch.s: I do not own Maximum Ride only my characters and my plot.
Fang's Pov:
"Nick Ride, why don't you answer question 13 for us?" I glanced up at Mr. McDonald. He was my Biology teacher, and he looked like a rat. He had a sharp pointy nose, with greasy hair around the sides of his head. On top of his head he was bald. He had big Harry Potter glasses and honestly needed to get a new definition of colon. Today he was wearing a purple button up shirt that was tucked in his black dress pants. He had an orange tie on with brown spots.
I looked at the board. "Anaphase." Mr. McDonald frowned.
"Yes that's correct. You need to stop dosing off and doodling in that notebook of yours. You're lucky you even have a low B in this class Mr. Ride." Then he went on to picking on Stephan the trouble maker in the class. Iggy turned around in his seat to give me a sympathetic look. Yes he is blind but the whole rapture hearing thing lets him know where everything is. His hearing has been getting even better lately, so he knows who the person is by vibrations in a second. I shook my head and began to write in my notebook again.
It was a journal of every time and date that the flock went searching for Max. There had to be at least a hundred from the past two years. I was writing down a search that we had done last night.
5:37pm May 13th 2010:
California- Looked through whole state of California until 4:00am next morning. No sign of Max and the school is abandoned and run down. Went inside and found a file that had Max's name on it. It also had my name on it and the words Experiment 19 and Experiment 20. Also the numbers 40228145. Nothing else and no location. Trying to decode numbers as of now.
"F-Nick? Dude you there?" Iggy was shaking my shoulder.
"What? Oh shit the bell rang." I gathered all my stuff and headed out of the class room. Thank god the end of the day.
"Hey Nick I wanna talk to you for a minute," Lissa said. She was standing right next to my locker, daring me to say no. I sighed.
"Get the rest of the flock together and meet me outside of the Starbucks. Don't get Nudge anything with to much caffeine please?" I asked Iggy. He laughed then nodded and whispered a good luck to me. I'll probably need it.
"Ya?" She smiled and flicked her long red hair.
"I think we should hang out at the movies tonight… maybe grab some dinner while were at it?" She said taking a step closer. I took a step back, my head touching the wall.
"Nah I'm busy tonight. Any ways I don't date. I have to be focused on my grades," I lied. The true reason was I didn't want to date because of Max. I loved her. And I wouldn't rest until I found her. Apparently my answer wasn't good enough for Lissa. She took another step closer.
"Come on Nick. We could have so much fun together… if your so worried about your grades we could have a study date. I promise I'll try not to distract you." Then she took her hand and caressed my cheek. I pushed her hand away then pushed her away.
"Lissa I said no. I don't want to go any where with you I'm sorry." Than with that I walked away to meet my flock.
When I got there Nudge and Gazzy were drinking a Java Chip (That's my fav. drink from starbucks! (: haha) and Angel a double chocolate chop. Iggy handed me a Mocha Frappe, while he had a Iced Coffee.
"How did it go? Angel told me Lissa had some pretty nasty stuff on her mind." Iggy said winking. I glared at Angel. She just shrugged than went back to drinking. We started walking to the lodge. Crap I had world cultures homework to do. Whatever I'll just skip it. Stupid longitude and latitude.
Fang that's it! What are you talking bout Angel? Longitude and latitude! What if that's what the numbers are? SHIT! I had never thought about that. Wow isn't school supposed to make you smarter not dumber? Fang language! Sorry Angel. We need to get home fast that way we can see if that's really what the numbers mean.
"Guys come on were gonna fly home I think I know what the numbers mean."
Everyone nodded and we ran into an ally way. Unfurling my dark wings I jumped into the air followed by the flock. We flew through the air, enjoying the wind hitting my face. I pumped my wings to make them go faster. Damn why can't I have super speed like Max? That would be so convenient right now. I spotted the lodge and dove down towards it, being careful not to land to ruff. When we finally landed I sprinted through the house and into my room. I could hear running feet behind me. Mrs. Martinez was out shopping with Ella so we didn't have to worry about her questions.
"Fang what do you think the numbers mean?" Gazzy asked.
"40228145. What if those were a location?" I opened my laptop and entered the numbers in on Google. I clicked on the first link that referred to them as a location. Sure enough it popped up with something. I wrote it down on a piece of paper with everyone crowded around me peering at the screen. Nudge gasped. Gazzy ran inside his room and shouted something about packing followed right behind Angel.
"Will someone please tell me what happened?" Iggy demanded. I put a hand on his shoulder.
"Go pack your bags we found Max." He nodded. I ran into the kitchen and grabbed my school backpack. I carried it to the table and dumped everything on it. Books, pencils, calculators, and trash came pouring out. Trust me I was not the organized person. I shook it then went to the kitchen and started putting dry foods in it. Then I took some waters and 5 apples out for the flight.
I put the pack on the counter then scribbled a note on an old envelope, telling Mrs. Martinez where we were going and that we would try to be back soon. Then with that I grabbed a draw string bag and went to my room. I yanked open my dresser, and started stuffing clothes into the bag. Most of the were black with an occasional gray shirt. When I was done I took one long look at my room and went back to the mess on the table. Grabbing my journal with all of the searching dates and times in it.
Were waiting for you outside. I nodded letting her know I was coming. Slamming the door shut, I locked it. Then I studied my flock. Each and everyone of them had something new in their eyes. Hope. I gave one of my rare smiles. Wow I haven't given one of those…well since the day Max disappeared. They all smiled back, especially Nudge grinning ear to ear. I put my fist out and we all stacked fists.
"Come on guys. Were going to Chili Ohio."
