Chapter 3- Realizing Some

Recap- "Were coming for you," I read, my eyes widening. Then I heard a tap at the window, and everything went totally black.

As it turned out, it WASN'T a scary stalker at the window, pinning me down and suffocating me until my vision went black. It was, in fact, J.J. Apparently, she had fallen back into the window, and come crashing down on top of me. I was relieved it wasn't some insane serial killer- but depressed my life wasn't as exciting as I thought. The message was probably just a virus. Now, I just have to pray that it didn't completely destroy my computer, which would suck. Curiosity for the life of my dear, dear, laptop over took me, and I brought a shaking finger to the power button. (My computer was one of the more important things in my life.) The screen flickered, looking dangerously delicate. My laptop was alive!

Weeks passed by slowly and surely, without leaving even a tiny trace of drama in their trail. I'll admit it- besides the computerized message; my life was as boring as hell. Every day was the same- Breakfast, School, Job, and Sleep. I needed change in my life, and to my surprise, change came. But it wasn't the change we were looking for. So when my Mom announced we were moving, I wasn't exactly a perfect example of happiness. 'WHAT?" I had screamed, slamming my fork on the table, in shock. Her eyes winded slightly. "Maximum Ride! Calm down! It's a great job offer, and we desperately need the money!" Hissing cuss words under my breath, I tried to put on a more calm face. "Well… where are we moving… exactly?" I said, crossing my arms. "Um… Mesa. It's a small town Arizona." My Mom said, looking nervous. "ARIZONA?" I shrieked, my hands flying up in the air. So we were moving away from our small Canadian home to Arizona. Arizona is across an entire COUNTRY! Was and job really this important?

Despite my pathetic excuses to stay in Canada, we did end up moving. So seven weeks later, all three of us were packed in a car, following the movers van, on a drive that could take days. Exciting, right? Not. By the end of it, I was so bored that I was tempted to strangle myself with my belt. Getting out of the cramped, hot car into the house I really didn't want to live in was more than a relief than I ever thought it could possibly be. That night, my Mom announced that me and Ella's first day of school would be tomorrow. Nice job ruining my day, dear.

When I woke up the next morning, I dragged myself out of my reasonably comfy bed and forced myself to take a shower. Putting on skinny jeans, converse, a sky blue tank top, and a dap of mascara, I tugged a brush through my dirty blond hair and practically sprinted out the door, nearly running into a pale boy with blond hair and cloudy blue eyes. "Hey, I'm Igg-Jeff." He announced. "Igg-Jeff?" I questioned? I mean, not to be rude but what kind of name is Igg-Jeff. "No, my names Jeff. Just Jeff." He said, saying the last word kind of harshly. "Oh, sorry…" I said, taken aback. "It's fine, what's yours?" "Max." I say. "Maximum Ride." Shock filters through the boy's face, and his eyes widen into huge blue orbs. "What? Is my name that weird?" "No," he stammers. "No, I just… knew someone with your same name… and, um…" He looks nervous. "Oh, ok." I say, slowly. "So, um, do you go to this school?" "No," He says, "No. I don't." "Oh. Then nice meeting you, I guess." Still confused at his odd behavior, I turn around. But when I turn back, he's gone. Shaking my head, I walk through the doors of Mesa Public High, completely not ready to start. It's like any regular High School. The day passes quickly, and before I know it I'm in my last period, Math. I sit next to a fairly good looking boy called Sam, who seems to have an excessive interest in me. As I walk home, I wonder who boy was. Did he even live here? I think, as I open the back door. But not before I see a black shadow duck behind the bush.

A/N- Ok, I tried to make this one longer. And to clear it up- Dr. Martinez DOES know that Max was part of the flock, and that she had wings, which is the main reason they moved.

To my lovely reviewers-

Emowing333- I tried, the next one will definitely be longer.
