Maximum Ride, the bad ass of school, lead singer in a band, and friend to a group of awesome people. Max lives in Boston and what happens when a handsome dark haired boy who's an artist comes all the way from Texas? There's a big band competition close, with Max's band entered. Romance and FAXNESS! I suck at summaries. Please read and review. Story's a LOT better than summary.

20. Chapter 20

Guys read the last chapter, i made a mistake! I forgot to put this one after the last one!

Max POV

7 weeks later…

It's been seven weeks since the accident, and I'm healed! I feel better, thanks to the medicine, following the doc's instructions and going to the doctor to get check once a week. At the five weeks I felt a lot better but the doctor said to take it easy for the last week.

I started school on Monday, people acted as if I were an alien, whispering about me. I saw Lissa talking to Fang by his locker, and give him a peck on the lips. I shook it off and went to music class. Everyone cheered when I got into the class.

I looked around the class and saw Fang smiling at me. Iggy growled inwardly. I went to ask the teacher if I could change seats but she said it wasn't possible. So I went to sit at my seat, scooting away from Fang. We hadn't talked at all, but he would send me texts, call me, or come to my house, asking to see me. But mom shut the door on his face.

So in music class, he draped his arm over my shoulder and kissed my cheek. I wiped it off ignoring Fang's hurt expression, and looked over at Nudge. She looked at him in disgust and gave him the finger. My friends glared at him. Iggy made gestures of strangling him. I smiled and paid attention, listening to the teacher chastise some kid who didn't know how to play the piano.

I looked down and saw Fang's hand intertwine his fingers with mine. I pulled it away and looked ahead. That was pretty much my suckish Monday. Fang tried to do the same thing all week. I forgot to mention, he got grounded after his mom found out. Right now I'm at band practice right now, rehearsing the songs. We kicked out Fang.

Iggy agreed to sing the duet with me, since Sam didn't want to. But Nudge and JJ have been acting weird. They've been smiling all day. Oh well…The competition was tomorrow and we're a bit psyched. Saturday. I sang the last lyrics and mom cheered.

"Guys, I know you're going to win," she said hugging each of us. I smiled against her shoulder. We went downstairs to go eat homemade burgers. I was getting the salad out, when I heard the doorbell ring. I knew it was Fang. That's the third time today. I stormed over and yanked the door open, ready to scream at him, but someone else stood there.

It was a guy with chestnut hair, grey eyes, a brown suit, and a Colgate smile.

"The name is Daniel Montgomery. Please call me Mr. Montgomery, one of the judges. Are you Maximum?" he asked when I shook his hand.

"Max. Would you like to come in?" I said.

"Oh no thank you. Yes well, Max, the competition is tomorrow as you know and I hope you have your songs ready. There's ten bands competing and one will win, as you know. I wanted to let you know that you need to be behind the stage at 5:30, okay?" he said. I nodded and he left with a good bye. I told everyone and we all shouted with joy. Tomorrow's going to be one of the best days of my life.
