Chapter One

Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride

Max POV

I watched the rolling landscape out the passenger seat window. We were moving. All the way from Arizona to a place called Davidson OH. Mom got a new job

at a high paying vet clinic. I sighed and lifted my gaze to the rearview mirror. My brother Alex had his iPod on his dark brown hair swishing lightly, his brown

eyes gleaming. My two sisters Lissa and Ella were asleep there heads leaning against one another. Ella had dark brown hair and brown eyes. She was basically

a copy of mom. Lissa naturally has light brown hair but she died it a dark red pink color. Let me tell you, mom did not like that. She also has brown eyes. The

funny thing is Alex and Lissa are twins. Crazy right? I sighed again, how come I was the only one against moving? Alex caught me looking back at him and gave me

his award winning smile. I couldn't help but smile back. What can I say? My siblings have an effect on me.

"Max I know your not happy, but I promise you you'll love it here."mom said glancing over at me.

"Yeah right" I muttered." And I'll turn down a cookie."

"MAX! Wake up!" screeched Ella.

"Wha...?" I mumbled sitting up rubbing my eyes.

"We're here!" she said a look of pure excitement on her face. I looked out my window and sure enough we were driving through a large neighborhood. We pulled

into the driveway of a big brown house with a red door. The second we stopped, I jumped out and screamed "Dibs!" I heard laughter coming from the car but ignored

it and ran inside. The house was really nice. Kind of new England styled. When you come in the

front door your in the entry hall. To your right is a living room, and to your left is a dining room. The kitchen is in the back with family room to the left

of that and a bathroom and laundry room to the right. I raced up the stairs and found my OWN room! SCORE! My name was written on a

white board hanging on the door. Taking a deep breath I swung open the door.

There's off white carpet and I have two windows.

The room's kind of rectangular and has two smaller sides and two longer ones.

The two longer walls are a cool navy color. One of the shorter walls is silver and the other is blood red with big silver wings on it. My bed is a round bed

with a silver and black motorcycle print comforter. I even had matching pillows. On the silver wall there is a big black dresser. In the corner where the red and

navy meet there's a black bookshelf. In the corner where the silver and navy meet there's a small recording studio.

"Whoa" I breathed and stepped inside.

"Wow" I heard two voices Chorus behind me. I turned to see Ella and Lissa standing behind me staring at my room in awe.

"Pretty awesome huh?" I smirked.

"Yeah but have you seen our room yet?" Ella asked.

"Nope." I replied.

"Well come on!" cried Lissa and she grabbed my arm dragging me into the room next door.

I have to admit this room was pretty cool and perfect for Lissa and Ella.

The walls are green and there's a metal bunk bed against one wall. One one side of the door there's circular mirrors and pink and orange sticky circles going up

the wall. The floor is hardwood and there's a shaggy white rug in the center of the room. Against each of the other walls either a computer desk, a vanity, or a dresser sits.

"Nice." I said," Where's Alex?"

"In his room, down the hall to the left." Lissa replied.

I walked down the hall, took a left and knocked on the door labeled "Alex".

"Come in." said a guys voice.

I opened the door and gasped.

Alex's room is dark blue with silver stripes. His bed is a black metal bunk bed. He has a flat screen in the wall, and a black dresser in between his

windows. In the closet behind his clothes there's like a little library.

"Nice room Alex" I mumbled.

He smiled," Yours too."

"Kids cookies!" shouted mom.

"Cookies!" I screamed and ran down the stairs.

I grabbed a handful of cookies and shoved them into my mouth. I was about to

reach for another when mom slapped my hand.

"Save some for the others." she smiled.

I nodded but put a pout on my face.

FINALLY Lissa, Ella, and Alex got their lazy butts down stairs. Once the cookies were gone (courtesy of mwa) mom called a family meeting.

"We're going to eat at the neighbors house in an hour so wear something nice." she told us. I looked at my sister's faces. Oh god.

"..!" I screamed.

"Fine." they said putting on... You guessed it Bambi eyes.

"No!" I screamed closing my eyes and trying, key word trying, to run up the stairs. As you guessed I failed and ran into the wall. Rubbing my head muttering

cuss words I ran up stairs and locked my bedroom door.

Since I hadn't had the chance to unpack I went directly to the box labeled "Max Jeans". After sifting through the box I found what I was looking for. Black

skinny jeans. I threw the jeans onto my bed and pulled out a blue tank, and a red plaid shirt. I ran a brush through my wavy dirty blonde hair. I then changed

into my outfit and threw on my black knee high converse. I looked fine. "One more thing" I thought. I went to my jewelry box (yes I maximum Martinez have a

jewelry box) and pulled out silver necklace with an M on it. Perfect. I opened my door and tramped down stairs.

"Not bad." Lissa said smiling. She was wearing a black one sleeved shirt that read," Dance like nobody's watching" in green and white writing along with a pair

of black denim shorts over fishnet tights with green converse.

"Nice outfit." I said. Lissa and I have almost the same style.

"You to." she grinned.

At this moment Ella decided to come romping down the stairs wearing pink miniskirt black tank and white belt with black and pink striped flats. Alex came

after her grinning. He was wearing the blue button up shirt I got him for Christmas and blue jeans.

" Alright kids let's go." shouted mom from the garage.

Time to meet the neighbors.
