Hello peoples! Emerald?

Emerald: What?

Me: I've got something to tell you.

Emerald: What?

Me: It may give you a shock.

Emerald: Get on with it!

Me: YouMightBeAMarySue!

Emerald: WHAT? NOOOOOOO! *Falls to ground cursing like a pirate on steroids*

Me: *Still standing but cursing like a pirate on steroids.* £%&*! Okay, I am actually serious, reviewers. I read a guide about Mary-Sues and I think I may have accidentally created one. Please, at least tell me that I haven't, even if you're lying through your teeth. Emerald? Disclaimers?

Emerald: She doesn't own Max Ride. She owns the plot, and Me, who-who might be a-a Mary Sue.

Me: Don't worry. If you are one, I'll give you a life threatening injury that leaves you seriously deformed. 'Kay?

Emerald: *Whimpers*

I was flying in circles, near the cave at Lake Mead. Ever widening circles, over and over again. Just thinking. About Chase. And Nudge. And Chase and Nudge. I felt sickened, like I had just watched the guy I loved kissed my friend's face off. Oh wait, that was because I had.

"Hey."

I whipped around in the sky. Chase was hovering in front of me, his blonde hair being thrown in front of his face when the wind blew. He didn't bother to brush it back. Maybe he thought it made him look hot or something. I tried not to laugh, then looked properly at him and realised that it did in fact make him look hot.

No. Bad Emerald, I told myself, you're pissed with him, stop going on about his hair!

"Why'd you run off like that?" He asked.

"I had a headache." I said, not looking at him or his hair.

"Uh-huh." Chase said, raising his eyebrows, "Normally when you get a headache, you're meant to lie down, not fly in circles."

"You can't tell me what to do." I snapped. Chase eyebrows rose higher.

"What's your problem?"

"None of your business." I snarled. Chase's eyes narrowed. Oh, why did they have to be so green?

"Can I talk to you?" He asked.

"You appear to be doing so right now, Kid." His hands clenched into fists. His hates being called Kid, Child, Young, anything like that. I grinned and mentally patted myself on the back.

"I mean in one of the caves." He said, pointing towards the caves.

I sighed. "This better be quick."

We flew down and landed, both of us stumbling a bit. We still hadn't got the hang of landing. When we'd both stopped, Chase turned to me.

"What's wrong?"

"I thought we already agreed it was none of you business." I said, folding my arms.

"Emerald, I'm not stupid."

I widened my eyes, "Seriously? Good Grief, and there's me thinking…"

"Emerald." Chase snarled.

I turned away from him. "Rack your brains, Chase. It should only take around two seconds."

"I don't get it; you were fine until we were in the mall…" Chase muttered, then his eyes went wide. "Oh."

"Caught on, have you?" I said coldly.

"But, but, I've never seen you show any signs of you liking me before." Chase said.

I don't know what it was, but right then I snapped.

"WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE OPENED YOUR EYES!" I shouted at him. Tears were smarting in my eyes. I looked him full in the face, and nearly was sick. He was smirking. And I could tell he was trying to hold his laughter.

"Honestly, Emerald, 'You should have opened your eyes'? No offence, but that's the cheesiest thing I've ever heard."

"NO OFFENCE?!" I screamed, and before I knew it, I had picked up a rock and chucked it at his head as hard as I could. It just missed him.

"Holy crap! Emerald, are you stupid?!" He yelled, his face reddening.

"AM I STUPID?!" I screamed, picking up another rock and throwing it. It hit him in the side of the head. I hope I gave him brain damage.

"HEY!" He yelled, and then he picked up a rock and threw it. It hit my shoulder. It actually hurt quite a lot.

"I HATE YOU!" I screamed.

"I HATE YOU MORE!" Chase yelled back. But I didn't listen. I had already leapt off the side off the cliff.

***

I flew for a couple of minutes, before landing ungracefully on one of the larger branches of a tree.

Angry didn't cover it. I was furious. I was livid. I was…

Oh god, I was miserable, I was really, really miserable. I kept seeing Chase's face. Laughing at me. Shouting at me. Kissing Nudge. There was nothing else for it. I sat down on the branch, put my head in my hands, and howled.

All done!

Emerald:*Sniffs*

Me: Get over yourself. Chances are you are not a Mary-Sue.

Emerald: But what if I am?

Me: Then you'll be in a car crash.

Emerald: (Whispers) Help me.

Me: Okay, so Read and Review.
