EDITED*

Hey hey hey waffles! So sorry about before, but here is the next chapter… WAIT!

For Socials I have to write a diary from a Norse Youth girl. She has a mother and I have no clue what to name her mother… review or PM me names please?

Disclaimer- me no own Maximum Ride . Me own plot.

January eleven. (My birthday!)

Max POV

"Max. Out of the house." Moms shooed my out.

"I have homework!" I protested. It was true, Mr. Sea my math teacher had given us pages upon pages of homework.

"Do it at Fang's. we're setting up."

"For what?"

"Bye Max see you in an hour!" Mom cheerfully closed the door in my face.

At the time, I should have known she was setting up for a surprise birthday party, but I'm just dumb... I'm kidding.

I knocked on Fang's door and what the heck? Mom opened up!

I craned my neck and saw Lissa, Ella, Nudge, Iggy holding a cake, Fang, Angel, Gazzy and the moms! "SURPRISE!" They cried out.

"OMIGOSH guys! Thanks!" I squealed in a un Max like fashion.

"Come in come in!" Fang's mom ushered me in. Everyone was jumping up and down in excitement. I was becoming just as excited as I walked down the hall to the kitchen. Streamers and balloons were strung everywhere and I could smell something delicious coming from the kitchen.

"You forgot it was your birthday didn't you?" Fang smirked as he took my hand.

"Um, oops?" I laughed. Then gasped as I saw the huge as- the huge cake. It had two layers and was chocolate. All. Chocolate. Dark, milk, brown... My mouth watered as I continued to look at it.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Ma-ax. Happy birthday to yooooooou!" Everyone sang, Iggy horribly off key.

"Thanks guys!" I said happily.

"By the way, this is my present to you Max." Iggy told me.

"Okay, let's eat it!" I dove forward but Lissa caught me.

"Nuh uh uh. Other presents first." She chastised.

"Fine." I pouted. She led me to the living room where everyone sat down.

"Me first me first!" Iggy squealed in a girly voice.

"I already got yours Ig." I frowned.

"Whatever. It's a box oooooof..." He handed me a box and I opened it.

"OMIGOD! Cookies!" I squealed as well. "Thank you!" Inside had a dozen chocolate chip cookies.

Munching on one, Ella handed me hers. "I know you don't like going shopping, but Aeropostale seems to be someplace you'd like." She said shyly. "And we can go shopping together! And I got you those," she pointed to the other gift, "because I know you're glued to your iPod." It's true, I was listening to music in Maui whenever I wasn't with Fang.

Ella had given me a thirty dollar gift card to Aeropostale. The other gift was a pair of light purple headphones. "Thanks Ells!" I hugged her as I stuffed another cookie in my mouth.

"Slow down Max," my mom warned.

"Fine." I put the box of cookies out of reach.

"Here Max." Lissa handed me a bag.

I grabbed what was inside and groaned. Inside was two tubes of lipstick. What I think was a case of like, thirty different eye shadow colors, some eyeliner pencils and nail polish.

"For a rainy day." Lissa smirked.

I sighed. "Thanks Liss."

"Us next!" Gazzy and Angel chorused. I smiled and accepted their wrapped gift, which was pretty heavy. And bIg. I shook it and almost went deaf from everyone screaming that it was fragile.

I had failed to notice all the air holes punctured in. And then I heard it: a bark.

I quickly unwrapped the box and pulled off the lid to see a... Dog.

"OMIGOD!" I screamed. "A DOG? FINALLY! OMIGOD I'VE WANTED A DOG SINCE-"

"Mommy, when can we get a dog?" Max asked a younger looking Valencia. Max herself seemed about seven.

"I don't know Max, things are really complicated right now." Valencia answered quietly.

Little Max stared uncomprehendingly at the tears in her mom's eyes. "It's okay mommy, Jeb didn't deserve you."

Valencia ran a hand through Max's hair. "Thanks Max, I-I feel better now. You can get a dog when you're older."

Max cheered as she ran to go tell Fang, leaving her mother with her thoughts of cheating husbands.

"-Um, forever!" I bit her lip. I smiled again and hugged the little dog.

"She's already potty trained and everything!" Angel explained.

"Omigosh thank you sososososo much you guys! I'm going to name you Magnolia!" I put Magnolia down and rubbed her belly. Magnolia just barked and wiggled.

Still rubbing Magnolia's belly, opened the mom's present. They had all chipped in.

"It's only fifty dollars because," Anne whispered the next part. "We payed for Angel and Gazzy's present. We aren't supposed tell you though."

"Thanks!" I hugged all three and put down the fifty-dollar chapters card.

"Me me me me mememememememe! Mine next Max! I hope you like it, I remember when you went crazy with mine in grade three even though mine was a toy and I was like a toddler. But yeah. Open it open it openit openit openitopenitopenit!" Nudge shoved hers in front of me.

"Oh, thanks Nudge!" I took it and didn't shake it this time. It was a dark purple digital camera.

"Oh! Thanks Nudge!" I said again as I quickly snapped a group picture by surprise and giggled at the outcome. The moms were smiling, I guess they knew I was going to take a picture. Angel and Gazzy were eating my-

"Hands off my cookies!" I shrieked. They dropped them like hot potatoes. "Thank yooooou." I said sweetly.

Nudge had her mouth open, I think she had been talking. Lissa was fixing her make up, Ella was playing with her hair, Iggy had the lighter-

"Iggy..." I watched as he made a tiny fireball and set fire to the wrappings off the presents. He quickly dumped his water on it and guiltily put the lighter down.

Fang had a tiny smile on his face, (where else would it be?) and he had a small box in his hands.

"Best for last." He said as he handed it to me.

I opened it and saw an angel wing necklace. I pulled it out and admired it. It glinted in the light as I went to put it on.

"Wait. It's a locket." Fang gently took it from me and opened the necklace. He handed it to me and I gasped.

It was our kiss. Someone had taken a picture of it. The light from the sun shone through my hair and had brought out my blonde highlights. Fang's hair looked almost blue in the sun. I blushed as I saw it caught his abs perfectly.

"It's-it's-"

"Beautiful?" Fang raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, and creepy that someone had taken a picture of us."

"Hey! That was me!" Lissa said defensively.

"It is beautiful though." I leant forward and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks. Can you help me put it on?"

He wrapped his arms around me and I lifted my hair out of the way. I felt his fingers fumbling on my neck then he got the clasp.

"There." I smiled. "Thank you so much guys!"

"Happy eighteenth birthday Max!"

So yeah, here yall go! And go watch Locked out of Heaven song by megan Nicole and Sam Tsui, I'm addicted to it.

Gonna make a heart-throb out of me
Just a bit of minor surgery
These desperate times call for desperate measures
I'll give you something to cry about
Show some skin, and would be, caché
How could you let this get to desperate measures now?
