A/N Hi everyone. I would like to thank NoOneGetsIt and anubisd101 For following this story. Please review and tell me if you liked the chapter or not.
Phoebe's POV
I ran down a school hallway as fast as I could. I had spent all the night before waiting at the place where my house had once stood. The house had been destroyed many years ago, when my family had been taken. Do to my late night I had over slept, and was now most likely going to be late for class. If I just run a little faster maybe I can make it.
I was soon in front of my class room door. I wasted no time and flung the door open. I rushed over to my chair and managed to sit down just before the bell rang. My teacher had yet to enter the class room. I could hear my class mates mummers as they spread rumors about our teacher late arrival. "Maybe he had some car trouble." "I bet he over slept." "Maybe a burglar broke into his house!" "I bet he was murdered!" My class mates speculation grew More and more ridiculous. Some kids even thought he joined the circus.
after about one minute of waiting the door to the room burst open, and my teacher Mr Own, and a boy I didn't recognize, walked in. "Good morning class. Sorry I'm late. I had to help a new student to class," Mr Own explained walking towards his desk, the new kid followed him. It was only when the boy faced the class that I recognized him. No! no! no! It can't be! "Class this is Max Thunderman he will be joining our school!"
Cherry's POV
I woke with a jolt. I had yet again fallen asleep in class. Mrs Connie was looking down on me tapping her foot impatiently. "I asked you a question Miss Miller and I expect you to answer it!" Mrs Connie said in a squeaky voice. "What was the question?" I asked embarrassed. I heard a series of snicker erupt from my classmates. Nice guys laugh at me, it's not like you've ever fallen asleep in class. "if you were listing to what I was saying then you would know the question! Were you listening?" I shook my head. "Well if you weren't listening then what were you doing?" I looked down in shame. "I was sleeping Mrs," I mumbled. "I'm sorry I couldn't hear you!" I knew that she heard me but I also knew that she was not going to stop entail the entire class heard me. "I was sleeping!" I shouted not caring about the consequences. "Not only did you fall asleep in class agin but now you've also yelled at a teacher!" I knew I was in big trouble but I just couldn't bring myself to care. "You leave me no choice. Miss Miller to the principle's office now!"
I got up from my desk and walked over to the door. I turned back to face the rest of the class and said "I suggest you all watch your backs!" i then went out into the hallway slamming the door behind me. I could hear Mrs Connie yelling at me as I set off towards the principles office.
I sighed. I was sitting in the principle's office yet again. Principle Kelly was looking at me with pity. "Look Cherry I know it must be hard for you. I know better than most what it's like to live in a big family." I inwardly grounded. I hate it when people jump to the conclusion that I just want attention. I'm not some neglected kid. Just because I'm adopted does not mean I'm alone. "Look principal Kelly I really don't care what you want to tell me, but can't you just tell me instead of making me sit here all day?" I asked in an annoyed voice. I felt guilty for snapping at him. Unlike most people principal Kelly did not get mad at me. He would always just sit at his desk looking at me intently and wait for me to calm down.
"I will not give you detention because I know it wont help. But I will still be giving you a punishment." I groaned. "Go back to class and please come to my office after school is over for the day. I will tell you your punishment then." I nodded glumly and stocked out of the office.
Phoebe's POV
I didn't know what to feel. I just saw my brother for the first time in four years, but he didn't look like the boy I used to know. He had a dull look in his once mischievous eyes. He no longer wore his self confidant smirk. He looked hunted and worn. "Well Max why don't you take the empty seat next to Phoebe!" Mr Own said, pointing at me. Max nodded and walked over to me. I held my breath. I wonder if he recognized me? But Max hardly seemed to notice me as he took his seat.
I wanted to believe the he had escaped but I knew better. I had heard story's about what the league did with they're victims. They sometimes used them as spy's to try to find unregistered sups. After I had runaway that fateful night 4 years ago, I had gone to the superheroe under ground. They had changed my last name and registered me in school. How the under ground did all those things I don't know, but I'm glad they did. Now the league must have sent Max ti track me down.
Cherry's POV after school
The last bell had just rung, but wail the other teens got leave, I had to go to the principal's office.
I opened the door to the office and stepped in, closing the door behind me. I turned to face the desk and noticed the new kid standing arms crossed staring at me. "Cherry I'm glad you came. I was worried that might try to runaway like last time," Mr Kelly said with a rueful smile. I looked down at the floor sheepishly. the new kid, I think his name was Max was still staring at me! "Um sorry about that!" I said hoping to avoid the subject. "The past is the past. I have decided that since Max is new around here you can show him around town!" Max looked horrified. "I don't need a chaperone Mr Kelly. I think I can find my way around town just fine." Principle Kelly shook his vigorously. "Don't be silly. Cherry make sure Max gets acquainted with his new home!"
Me and Max walked out of the office with out a backwards glance. Max immediately turned to face me. "look Orange was it? Don't think that just because we are going to spend the day together does not mean that we are friends." "Ok first off my name is Cherry, not Orange. Secondly what makes you think I would evan want to be your friend?" Max gave me an arrogant smirk. "Who wouldn't want to be my friend?"
