Winter POV:

Ig, Gaz, and I all bet that June would win. Nudge, Dylan, and Angel all bet that Max would win. Fang tried to stop them from fighting. He failed.

June roundhouse kicked Max in the shoulder and there was a sick crunching sound as Max shrieked with pain.

"June is so winning!" Ig exclaimed, punching the air in delight.

Gaz and I nodded our heads, smiling. Dylan ran up to Max.

"You shattered the whole bone!" Dylan yells at June.

"You yell at her, I break your face, baby brother. Now back the f*ck off, pretty boy." I said in a deep, quiet voice.

"I can defend myself" June says.

"Here's my cup of care," I pretend to hold a cup "oh look it's empty."

I storm out of the house and onto the porch. I lay down.

June walks out, "Who pissed in your cereal?"

"Most likely Total" I say.

My face was straight and June copied my expression. We both break out laughing. Dylan came out.

June punched him in the gut, "That's for yelling at me."

She walks back in the house.

"Good job. I am not worthy of standing next to you, Royal Pain in My A*s." I follow June.

Ig walks over to me and wraps his arm around my shoulders. I kiss him on the nose.

"Hey, Iggy, can I talk to you?" Dylan asks, walking up to us.

Well, this had to be good.

"Dylan, don't be mean to him or I will hurt you." I threaten quietly in his ear.

June walks up to me, "You hurt my brother and things will get red. Then, I'll have Nudge clean it up."

"Aw, man" Nudge complains.

Juniper POV:

So Max brought up the idea that we should go to school with them. Oh hell no! But, of course, the charity said that we'll be here longer than usual so we have to attend school. Yay, sarcasm very much intended. I am currently looking at the school uniform lying on my bed. There is pink in it. Gross.

I sigh and pull on the pink, black, and white plaid skirt. I slip on a white blouse and tie a pink tie around my neck. I pull on a black and white polka-dot cardigan. I brush out my hair and put it half up and half down, going for an innocent look. I apply mascara, eyeliner, a little pink eye shadow, blush, and nude lipgloss. I tuck the heart locket Fang gave me under my shirt and shove my feet into socks. I put on black 2-inch ankle boots and walk into the kitchen. Winter stares at me.

"What happened to you!?" she exclaims.

"What?" I ask, confused.

"You changed! And you actually have…yeah!" she gestures to my chest and I laugh.

"I grew up while we were apart, Winter." I smile and grab a piece of bacon.

I eat the bacon and Max comes out of her room.

"C'mon, guys, we gotta go!" she yells.

I walk to the porch and extend my wings.

"We're not allowed to fly" Nudge mutters.

"Sucks for you. Fang, Angel, Gaz, and I can we're there for the charity. Everyone at the school knows bird kids are coming." I jump off the porch and into the air.

Winter POV:

I had my plaid skirt on with a white blouse, a black and white striped tie, a black leather jacket, and my signature black combat boots. So unfair they get to fly to school ! Ig grabbed my hand as we climbed into the car that, sadly, Max is driving. Nudge gets shot gun while Ig, Dylan, and I sit in the back. Of course, I sit in the middle. I hate Max with a burning passion. Dyl had been taught how to speak French back at the lab he came from and he taught me so, now we both speak it.

"Ne vous approchez pas trop de lui!" (Translation: don't get to close to him!) Dylan whispers to me, referring to Iggy.

Dylan is way to over-protective! Still, I love him to death. But, Fang, June, Gaz, and Angel get to spend the day with their wings out while we have to keep ours hidden under our clothes and close to our bodies. I'll have to have a talk with Max later about this. I would kill to have my wings out! Just in case you were wondering why I jump from topic to topic and have mood swings, I have ADHD . When we got to school, my 'friend', Shawn McCallen, showed up while I was talking to June.

Juniper POV:

Okay so, this weirdo with dark brown hair and eyes that are pale blue, like Ig's, came up to Winter while I was talking to her.

"Hi Winter! Who's your friend!? I'm Shawn! I like your wings!" he almost shouts.

"Um…hi? I'm June. Thanks, by the way." I say, confused.

I go to the office with Fang, Angel, and Gazzy to get my schedule, locker number, et cetera. Angel's hand is clasped around mine.

"Fang, Juniper, Gasman, and Angel are here to pick up first day information." I say to the lady behind the front desk.

She smiles and hands me four pieces of paper. I hand all of them out and turn to Gazzy.

"Make sure you get Angel to class" I tell him.

He nods and takes Angel's hand as they walk out of the office. I turn to Fang and he has two small, white boxes in his hands.

"What are these?" I take one of the boxes.

"Phones. The charity sent them here so that the two of us can keep in contact with them." Fang holds up a black iPhone 6.

I open the box and a white iPhone 7 is staring up at me.

"They're already set up." Fang says, looking at his phone's screen.

I turn the phone on and, sure enough, it is already set up. I begin to walk out of the office but, Fang grabs my arm.

"Forgetting something?" he asks.

I roll my eyes and kiss his cheek before heading to biology, which happens to be Winter's first class.

Winter POV:

Great! So in biology, we have to dissect chickens. It just had to be something with wings! June and Fang leave the class. Lord, please help me. I look at Ig, next to me. He looked a little green. I look over my shoulder at Dyl. Mr. Perfect actually looked pale. I raise my hand and Mr. Skinner, the teacher, walks over.

"Can I please leave? I don't feel good." I ask.

"Yes." Mr. Skinner answers.

Dylan and Iggy asked the same thing.

Shawn stands up from his chair in the back of the class, "Nope. F*ck you! I'm out!"

He flips the bird and the four of us walk out of the classroom. Ig and I run to the football stadium, holding hands. We sit in the middle of the football field and Ig sits in the position so that he can soak up the sun. I rest my head on his shoulder and he kisses the top of my head. I look up at his face. He looked so cute but, then again, when doesn't he?

He puts his hand on my neck and kisses me, "I love you, Winter."

I smile, "Love you too, Ig."

We stay silent for a bit.

"Snowflake?" Ig speaks up.

Well, that is a cute new nickname. I like it.

"Yes?" I ask.

"When I touch you, I can see how pretty your eyes are. They are the same color as chocolate." he says, his cheeks slightly pink.

I lift my head higher and kiss his nose.

"You are way too sweet." I say.

Juniper POV:

Dissecting birds, huh?

"Yeah, no. You see, I am part bird. I can't dissect my own kind." I stand up from my chair and grab Fang's hand.

We walk out of the classroom and head outside to the small clearing beside the school. We both run and jump into the air, unfurling our wings. We fly around for a while, just doing whatever. I'm pretty sure neither of us gives a crap that we're at school. I land on the road below us, soundlessly.

"Juniper!" Fang yells and I look up at him.

He bolts down to me and literally throws me out of the way before a truck hits him and he falls to the ground. The truck just drives over him like nothing happened. Tears are streaming down my face as I run to him. I sit next to Fang's body. He looked broken. I cradle his head in my hands and scream. Really loud.
