"I think we can trust them," Angel whispered, "I scanned their minds and they are telling the truth. Besides, it would be nice to not have to hide our abilities anymore. Spy school might seem a little overrated but I think it will be good for us."
"Ok, Angel we should be able to trust them then since your search came out positive. What about you Nudge? To trust? Or not to trust?"
"Well, they seem ok, I'll trust them. Learning to be spies can't be that bad, cant it?" Nudge replied with a more confident light in her eyes.
"Alright, let's do this!"
We didn't do the hand stack, but we looked at each other and nodded knowing we could trust these people. Finally, someone we could trust and not have to hide from, so far.
We stood up straight and faced the waiting students and teachers in the hall.
"Hi," I began, nice choice of words dipstick not, seriously... hi? Of all the intelligent things to say I had to come up with something like that.
Note to self: come up more intelligent-sounding things to say.
"My name is Max, full name Maximum Ride."
"My name's Nudge."
"My name's Angel."
They're looking at me expectantly again (what is with them today? They're usually so independent). I fought back a sigh and turned back to the front, I suppose it was up to me to so the explaining of our 'little problem.'
"We're not like you, unlike you we aren't human." (the whole hall gasped as one and I chuckled a bit at the reaction), "see, when we were very young, we were taken by an illegal association we liked to call 'the school'. There we were experimented on by the 'white coats', turned into lab animals and we grew up in a cage." (more gasps, this time of horror).
"This is the result of their so called 'experiments'."
With that I nodded to Nudge and Angel and unfurled my wings, stretching them out to their fullest (when stretched as far as they will go they reach just over 13 feet) before pulling them in to hang either side of me. Angel and Nudge did the same, when the students and teachers gasped this time, it was with amazement, awe and horror all at the same time.
"We also have each of our own uniwue abilities in adition to flight. I can reach speeds of over 200mph for instance."
"I can breath underwater, talk to fish, read minds and other mind controlling tricks. Of which I won't reveal to you, you can found them out yourselves," Angel said.
"I can hack into virtually any computer, literally search the net, as in go inside the network and surf the net. I can also see the history of any object by touching it," said Nudge.
"Please don't treat us as freaks," I said, "we really aren't that much different to you, and we just want to fit in. So, see you 'round." There that should do it, wow that was the most we'd revealed to anybody.It actually felt really good to get it off our chests.
We stepped down from the platform and went to sit with the other children. Even though this is a school for girls, I realised once I got closer that there were a few boys here too. I found three empty seats near a group of four girls and three boys (of which seemed to be somewhat together with them, three of them anyway) and motioned to Nudge and Angel. When they joined me we all sat down, almost immediately everyone started talking, I turned to the girl closest to me. She had lightish brown hair tied up in high ponytail and slightly tanned skin. Sitting next to her was a boy with short, dark hair and tanned skin. They both looked to be around 16 or 17, by the looks of things Angel and Nudge were by far the youngest, now that she thought about it headmistress Morgan had said something about not usually excepting children any younger then 14 minimum. However she made an exception with Angel and Nudge because of their abilties and what they've been through.
"Ugh, hello," another brilliant greeting on my part, jeeze they must think I'm so dumb!
"My name's Max
"Hi Max," the girl replied, "my name is Cammie and this is Zach, Bex, Grant, Liz, Jonas and Macey. So, welcome to the school."
"Thanks," I replied, "um, we don't know much about this place, I mean we only just got told that it is a school for spies. Could, um, could you maybe tell us, um, more about what you do at this school?"
"Ok! Well to put it simply we kick-box in P.E., disarm bombs in Science and are awarded extra credit in computing if we manage to crack CIA codes. Of course that's just an example showing you how much we differ from other schools."
I didn't know what to say, this definitely isn't an ordinary school. Headmistress Morgan had told us that because Angel and Nudge are so young she will test them and then put them in the appropriate level, if they don't meet any of the standards then she will personally see to it that they are home schooled (well not really home schooled since this is a boarding school, more like school schooled which doesn't even make any sense. Oh well...). As for me I'm getting school schooled (shut up it isn't funny) for half a year, Mrs Morgan said that I should know enough about the P.E. (or combat skills now that I know what you do in P.E.) side of things to get by. She said it's the computing and academic side of things I'm lacking, but she said with half a year of heavy schooling (training more like) I should be up to where I'm supposed to be; in the sophomore year.
Done! That was a total of two pages! Record for me... pretty sad I know but hey, at least I updated... ;D R/R plz!
