School starts tomorrow:/ So that means I might not be able to update until next weekend or so. I'll try my best to update soon though, but its hard with having softball everyday and homework. But I'll try my best!

But here's chapter 5! R&R ! :) I do not own Maximum Ride.

MAX POV.

The day was flying by, and before I knew it, it was fifth hour. My last hour was sports and fitness, the schools fancy way of saying 'gym'. Fang, Nudge and Iggy were also in it with me. After we picked out lockers in the locker rooms, Coach P told us to head out to the gym and we could have free time to do whatever until the end of class. I loved him, he was so lenient with everything we do. I'm so glad I got him instead of Marks. I seriously think that old man hates the world.

So after Nudge and I picked our lockers, we headed out to the gym, where Iggy and Fang were already playing basketball. I had introduced the two of them in fourth hour and they got along great. Nudge sneaked up on Iggy and tried to get the ball from him, but he was too fast. They fought over it for a while. Nudge has had a crush on Igs forever. Fang realized that he wasn't getting the ball back anytime soon, and walked over to me. "Hey." He said, smiling down at me.

"Hi." I said, smiling back.

"Are Nudge and Iggy dating?" He asked.

I laughed, "No. But they sure do act like it sometimes."

"Yeah... I'm pretty sure they both like each other, why don't they just date?" He said looking at me.

I shrugged and walked over to the bleachers, Fang following me and sitting next to me. "And they're perfect for each other." I said watching as Iggy held the ball over her head, making her jump for it.

"I hate when two people are so perfect for each other but they never even realize it, but everyone else does."

"Woah. That was a lot of words Fang, you alright?" I said, looking away from Nudge and Iggy.

He laughed, "Yeah, I'm alright." He looked at me and smiled. My god! Those eyes, that smile... Sigh.

No Max! Snap out of it. I looked away and felt my cheeks flush red.

"So, what are you, uh, doing after school?" I said lamely.

"Nothing." He said.

"Well, you know, since you're right across the street from me, wanna hang out with, Nudge, Iggy and I?" I asked hopefully.

"Sure. Got nothin' better to do. Oh and do you ride the bus home or get a ride?"

"I drive to school, why?"

"Well I was supposed to ride the bus home but I have no idea which one to get on."

"Ah, no car?"

He shook his head, sadly, "So you know which one it is?"

"Oh, stop, I can give you a ride. It's not like you live out of the way. And plus, the bus is lame." I said.

"You sure its not too much trouble?" He asked

"Positive."

Then we headed over to play basketball with Nudge and Iggy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~L~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Fang and I were walking to my car, someone bumped into Fang. Hard. And purposely. I turned around to see who that person was and realized it was Dylan. "Hey, dumbass!" I called out. "What where you're going!"

He turned to look at me, "Awh, Max thats cute, sticking up for new boy."

"Max lets just go, it's not a big deal," Fang whispered, but I barely heard him. I was too focused on how badly I wanted to kill Dylan.

I took a deep breath and instead of punching him in the face like I had wanted to, I said, "Fuck off."

As I started to turn around, Dylan said, "Why? So you can go fuck emo boy instead? You're just a stupid slut, I don't know why I ever dated you."

I gritted my teeth and kept walking. I'm not going to hit him, thats why he's doing this. He's trying to provoke me. No hitting Dylan.

But as I was lecturing myself, Fang stopped. "Did he just call you a slut?"

"He's an ass. Let's go." I said, more trying to convince myself than him.

"Awh, thats not the Max I know!" He shouted. And when I kept walking, pulling Fang along with me he shouted, "Get back here you slut, I'm not done talking to you!" And that was enough for me, and apparently for Fang too because he was walking back towards Dylan. Shit.

Fang went up to Dylan and stood there, hands clenching and unclenching at his sides.

Dylan started laughing. "This really isn't the Max I know! Sending someone else because she's too pussy to face me one her own."

"She didn't send anyone." He said darkly, it was kinda scary, but sexy at the same time. Like Jacob Black from Twilight.

"Oooooh, scary." laughed Dylan. "Are you her boyfriend? Because dude, I'm tellin' ya, she's a whore. Unless thats your type. She's good in bed but nothing els-" Dylan didn't get to finnish because Fang had punched him right in the jaw. "What the hell?" He screamed, rubbing his jaw. Dylan pounced, well more like stumbled forward and swung at Fang. Fang easily dodged it and kneed him in the stomach. Ouch. Dylan went down and Fang bent down and whispered something I didn't hear, then walked toward me.

I mumbled a 'thanks' and then we walked to my car.
