Hiya! Here is my next chapter! A new chapter will hopefully be coming every week, I also start school in a week so it'll be hard! Don't worry Brigit and Toni will be more active in the chapters. The disclaimer.

I do not own Maximum ride.

I was walking through the woods one late night. I heard a stick crack in between the large elm trees. I briskly walked ahead avoiding the stick and the danger. For some reason I just didn't feel anything or didn't care.

Ahead of me through the woods it sounded like something was moving. I caught a glimpse of pure black. A noise sounded behind me kinda like something whipping through thin air.

I turned around and was faced with nothing…

I felt protected and not scared but I definitely should be scared. I was in the middle of nowhere, at night, in the dark, with something or someone watching me. I walked forward again about five seconds before another wave of black hit me.

As I looked around right in front of me on the ground was a black feather. I held it up high. It was to big to be an ordinary feather, I held it up to the moonlight, where dark purple tinted over the black feather. It was the size of a bird kid feather.

I woke up with a start. Good, it was just a dream. I glanced over to my alarm clock and read 6:00. Why? Whoever invented the idea for kids to wake up this early should be shot. I groaned and rolled out of bed.

I went in my drawers and dug up a droopy shirt with a scull, skinny jeans, knee hi converse, a fault leather jacket and my wing necklace I always where. It's kinda like a symbol for the flock. We all where something with wings. (Pic. On my profile)

I hopped out of my room and down the stairs to where Jeb was having a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper. So original. Everybody else was also downstairs grabbing their backpacks, or finishing eating.

Jeb saw me and looked up from his newspaper, "Good morning Max"

"Waking up to you, not really" I said back grabbing a plateful of bacon, eggs, and cinnamon toast.

Brigit glanced up at me from her eggs and glared at me. I gave her one of my most famous Max glare and she flinched and went back to her plate. I smirked. At least I still got it.

I sat down as far away to her as possible and began to eat. I got seconds and thirds.

"Eat much?" Brigit asked snidely

I shrugged and said," slut much?"

"girls" Jeb said looking up from the newspaper, "that's enough"

"Whatever" I said pushing up form the chair to my flock.

"Zomg! Max! I'm sooo excited to go to school, aren't you I mean really we'll get to meet so much people and before you know it your friends with everybody, and then you'll be popular and like so many different people will be your friends. I wonder what my friends will be like. That reminds me, I have to get new clothes. Oh this will be so much fun! We can shop together and- mmph" Thank you Ella.

"Alright everybody it's about time you walk down to the bus stop, it should be here any minute." Lissa said. "Brigit and Toni will show you where the bus stop is"

"Fine" said snob Brigit while Toni replied enthusiastically, "Okay!"

I smiled at Toni. He was cute. He was wearing a polo shirt with khakis. I glanced around the room.

Nudge was wearing a droopy dark blue shirt that said," wow!" with a yellow tank top underneath. She was wearing white shorts, a yellow flower headband, wing earrings, black heeled boots with buckles, and a bracelet that said, "Nobody can hurt me without my permission" I smiled, that's Nudge.

Iggy was wearing a white shirt that had all these colors and wings on it, dark denim jeans, and leather tan sneakers.

Angel was wearing a gray dress, with ruffles with a sparkly bow in the middle. She was wearing a black scarf, a pink fedora, pink leggings, silver flats with bows on the end, and a bracelet with wings.

Gazzy was wearing a red graphic pullover hoodie, a checkered shirt underneath, blue jeans, boat sneakers, and a leather chocker necklace for boys with a wing.

As for Brigit, she was wearing a tight short jean skirt, a way too tight shirt with stilettos. She was wearing way too much makeup that made her look like a clown in heels. I rolled my eyes

Brigit walked out the door with Toni following. He waved for us to follow. We followed them out the door into the cool summer morning air. We walked along the side walk when we came to a the stop. I sat down on the bench followed by Nudge and Angel

A few seconds later a boy clouded in black came with shaggy black hair. He wasn't bad looking either. He looked really familiar. I saw that flash of black somewhere. I just couldn't put my finger on it. Immediately Brigit was on top of him.

"Hey Nicky." Brigit said putting her hands on his chest, batting her overly mascared eyes rapidly, and flinging her foot up in a flirting way. She looked disgusting, and I thought she couldn't get any worse.

"Brigit, you look like Jocelyn Wildenstein, get a grip, there's kids."

The boy smirked and took Brigit's hands off him.

On the other hand Brigit looked like she was about to kill. I stood up and she walked towards me. "Listen, piece of trash" she said getting in my face "I don't need your comments so shut your mouth." I looked unaffected by this and I just smirked.

"Well ya know I would say the same for you but I bet the limited brain cells you still have left aren't going to be able to pick that up, so umm, yeah, Get. Out. Of. My. Face."

By then the bus arrived and everyone was giggling while the boy was smirking.

Is that all he does?

Everyone got on the bus, but the boy and I were the last ones to get on. I picked the only empty seat left and sat down by the window looking out longingly. I felt a presence besides and looked away from the window to my right where the boy sat down.

"Thanks." he said looking at me with his deep brown eyes. I felt like I knew him for my whole life

"for what?"

"Getting her off me." I was surprised by this but smiled. Ok so he was Mr. Silent

"Hey if you gotta be nice, be nice, if you gotta be mean, be as mean as you can" He smirked at that.

"Nick. Call me Fang, you?" Fang? I was hesitant at first but I guess he just wanted to know my name like any other human right? He didn't seem Eraser-ish. In fact he looked the opposite of that.

"Max." I said back. Then suddenly something clicked in him

"You sound familiar, have we met before?" Oh no, he was on to me, what do I do?

I hesitantly answered, "Uh no, I don't think we have."

He opened his mouth to say something else when luckily the bus arrived at school. School. It's gonna take me a while to get used to that name. Considering the flock and I spent most of our time being tortured in it. I walked off the bus to where Angel, Iggy, Nudge, and Gazzy were standing in a group.

"Ok remember guys no using powers for anything unless it's an emergency. Angel" I glanced at her knowingly. She sighed and dropped her head.

"Do you want me to walk you guys to your school?" (A/N The elementary, middle, and high school are all connected to each other)

"sure" Gazzy and Angel said at the same time. I smiled. Nudge and Iggy were in high school with me. We were sophomores, Nudge was a freshman while Angel was in second grade and Gazzy was in fifth grade. I walked down to their section and bent down to their level.

"Ok guys, behave yourselves. Like I said before no using your powers. Oh and guys, try to have some fun while your at it. Make some friends."

I gave Angel and Gazzy a hug and sent them on their way to school.

"lets go" I mumbled to Iggy and Nudge who were holding hands. We walked in the doors and everyone was looking at us. Well how about this for eraser free? What was Jeb thinking? Anyone of these people could be erasers. I glared at everyone who was looking at me and they all went back to what they were doing, obviously scared of my glare.

We walked down to the office where a short stout woman was sitting, sorting through files.

"Hi um, were new here."

"Oh hello, you must be Max, Krystal, and Jeff." She said looking up smiling. She handed us sheets that said our classes on them.

"Here are your classes. Your parents already took care of everything yesterday" Parents? I wanted to scream, 'THEY ARE NOT WAY MY PARENTS! THEY NEVER WILL BE. EVER! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU EVEN THOUGHT OF THOSE PEOPLE TO BE MY PARENTS!' but instead I kept my cool and said through gritted teeth, "Alright, thank you" She looked confused at my sudden change of attitude but shooed it off.

"It's ok to be late since this is your fist day just don't make a habit of it. You were all given the same schedule except for a few things but Jeff has all of his classes with Max, because if I remember right Iggy is the blind one?" I nodded and said thank you.

"good luck" I walked out of the office door with Nudge and Iggy. The second we got out everyone was back to staring but mostly at me. I scowled.

"Max, I don't feel comfortable with all these people" Nudge said nervously.

"I know Nudge. Me too. We just need to find our classes and blend in" I looked around again with everyone staring. I then added, "Well try to blend in at least.

"Ok nudge I think this is your grade level area." Nudge nodded and gave a little wave before disappearing into the clouds of students. I sighed and turned back to Iggy. "I think we need to go to the right…" I said studying the number on the paper.

I was still looking down at the paper walking until something hard and solid knocked me down. I landed on the ground with a 'thump' and incase you didn't know, it takes a lot to push me down. I steadied myself on my knees and looked up at the person who knocked me down. Standing there was Fang.

"Oh sorry" he said holding a hand out for me to take. I hesitantly and cautiously placed my hand in his. Something sparked through my hand, almost as if electricity had been set off. It fit perfectly in his like a flower fit perfectly in a vase. I was in to much of a shock to say anything.

"thanks"

"yep" He then walked down the hallway looking nonchalant.

I turned to Iggy "You didn't tell me?" I asked raising an eyebrow

"what? I'm blind!" I huffed and turned around continuing my search of I and Iggys classroom. Occasionally Iggy brushed his fingers across my arm for guidance. The first bell rang and kids began to disappear into classrooms while I still had no clue where I was going. About 10 seconds I found the matching numbers on the door 309. I turned to Iggy.

"Ok here it is" I cautiously opened the door slowly and quietly. I stepped fully inside and everyone was looking at us. The teacher stopped her lesson obviously nerved by the fact that I had interrupted. She turned towards us and put a fake smile on. One that I can see right through.

"Why hello, you must be the new students. Class, this is Iggy"

she gestured towards Iggy and then to me. "and this is Max."

One of the idiotic boys in the back row whistled. His must be girlfriend looked super mad but before she could do anything I gave him a harp glare and he immediately shut up and flinched.

"Ok Max and Iggy you can sit in the back with…" She looked around the room and then said, "Fang raise your hand." Oh great the silent dude that crashed into me this morning. I still was cautious of him. He was inhumanly strong and I was kinda getting wary of that. I didn't want my flock to get hurt because of him. He raised his hand.

"Ok Max and Iggy you take the two seats in front of him."

Iggy followed me through the isle and to our desks. Iggy took the first seat so I was left with the one in front of Fang. All of the girls were eying him and gawking over him. That's gonna take a while to get used to.

I turned my attention back to the teacher but didn't get a word of it. I was more focused on what was happening out side of here.

1. What if Nudge, Gazzy, or Angel saw an eraser.

2. Where are the erasers

3. The joy of flying gone for mostly the whole day

4. What is up with Fang…?

I don't know what but I am going to find out. After all what would my name live up to if I didn't take chances? Hey, I have to take the exhilarating, astonishing, dangerous, Maximum Ride.
