Prologue Chapter
Hi, my name is Ella Martinez. You've probably heard of my sister because she is super-freaking-cool. Her name is Maximum Ride but I just call her Max because that's what everyone else does except for evil scientists. Long story that I'm not going to tell you. Okay, so anyway, my sister got away with being 2% avian which is super scientist-ese for bird. That means that she has giant wings that are HUGE. And also she's really tall and doesn't have to watch what she eats at all because she was built that way by Jeb Batchelder who is a freaky weird creeper. And she's supposed to save the world from global warming or pencils or something (I have a short attention span).
I, on the other hand, did not get off so easily. So, guess what? My sister's 2% bird and my mom never told her this but I have some "animal DNA" in me too. I, Ella Martinez, 13 year old president of the Thomas Jefferson Middle School drama club, future actress and singer, (breath) am 3% yorkie. Like the dog. And let me tell you, that 3% has changed me a lot. So first of all, I have a tail, which is really annoying. It's really small because it's a yorkie tail, but still. I've learned to control it though and tape it to my back so that no one is like, "OMG, YOU HAVE A TAIL!" And then they would spread it all over Twitter. No that would not be good for me. But there are some perks to being 3% yorkie. I'm adorable. It's a fact, I'm not being ostentatious (which means stuck-up, I looked it up in the dictionary). Also I have really shiny hair. I'm a little bit colorblind, but not so much that colors don't look normal to me. I just have trouble with grey's because I can't tell if they're black or just grey or something.
Other than being 3% yorkie, I love ice cream and cookies, I love singing and acting, I am in love with watching the sunset, and…I drink diet pepsi because it makes no sense to drink the kind with like, 100 calories in it. It basically tastes the same.
Anyway, so my mom says that I'm going to have to find a "legion". A legion is a group of people who fight like badasses together. Okay, that's not the exact definition, but that's basically what it means. I have to recruit people who are also "mutants" so that we can help Max and her "flock"(who the heck came up with that name?) SAVE THE WORLD AND OTHER EXTREME SPORTS! Whoa, where did that random outburst come from? I have absolutely no idea.
Also, I kind of like one of Max's flock members. His name is Iggy and he is (don't tell him I said this) super hot. But that's not the reason I like him, it's just part of the reason. He's also funny and even though he's blind, he doesn't really act really depressing and sit in a corner all day. So, yeah, I really like him. J
Okay, so now you basically have accepted a challenge. I am recruiting for my very own "flock" (but we will come up with a better name for us because we are going to be so cool). But I don't want people going and getting mutated by the School so that you can be part of my legion. So just…calm yourselves down because that's not what I'm asking of you. So basically if you see me or my "group" you won't yell "THAT'S ELLA MARTINEZ!" Got it? Kay, love ya. See you in Chapter 1.
