Disclaimer: Do I look like a guy? Then I don't own Maximum Ride. Am I a famous singer? Then I don't own any of these songs. Do I wish I was either or both? Yes but I'm not so I own nothing except the plot and what happens as well as any extra characters I might spontaneously add in there.
"The name's Max not Maxine. What do you want?" I ask glaring at him.
"I just came over to invite you to the cool kids table babe. I figured a chick like you wouldn't want to sit with these losers." He says.
"What if I like sitting with these losers?"
"Psshh a hot chick like you could do so much better."
"How bout tomorrow, when I'm wearing something I actually like, we see if you still want me then we'll talk." I turn around and sit down and continue eating.
"Hey I wasn't done talking to you!"
"Well I was so go away." I say not turning around. I guess he walked off because everyone at my table, except Fang, looked at me.
"What's so important about tomorrow?" Iggy asks me.
"Nothing just that y'all get to see what I normally wear and not this ridiculous outfit." I tell them.
"It's not ridiculous Max! It's cute! Don't you think Fang?" Nudge asks.
"I think it's like trying to make the devil look like an angel." He smiled and winked at me.
"Haha I'd have to agree with him." I say laughing. Just then the bell rings for the next class, "Vamos Fang. Tiempo para la clase de español." (A.N. 'Come on Fang. Time for Spanish class.')
"Alright then let's go." He says and we all part ways for our next class.
"So what's this teacher like?" I ask him.
"Alright" He shrugs. I guess they were right about him not talking that much.
We don't talk the rest of the way.
When we get there there is a teacher standing outside the door greeting people when they walk in, "Hola Fang." He just nods and walks in, "Hola usted debe ser uno de los nuevos estudiantes." (A.N. 'Hello you must be one of the new students.')
"Sí, mi nombre es Max." (A.N. 'Yes, my name is Max.')
"We'll go take a seat wherever you want and when everyone gets here you can introduce yourself."
I go and sit next to Fang in the back. "So do people in this class actually know Spanish or is it one of those classes that people just know what they have to to pass?"
"Some people actually know it but most just know what will help them pass." He tells me.
When everyone is in the class and the bell rings the teacher says, "You all should know by now that we have a couple of new students coming to our school. We have one in this class; would you like to introduce yourself Max?"
I stand up and say, "Sup mi nombre es Max , obviamente. Yo practico deportes y creció aprendiendo español por lo que esta clase va a ser fácil." I sit back down. (A.N. 'Sup my name is Max, obviously. I play sports and I grew up learning Spanish so this class is going to be easy.')
"¿Creciste aprender español?" (A.N. 'You grew up learning spanish?')
"Sí, mi mamá es hispano para que ella nos enseñó y nos coló entre Inglés y español en casa." (A.N. 'Yeah, my mom is hispanic so she taught us and we go between english and spanish at home.')
"Then I'm sure this class will be a piece of cake for you." She says and starts to teach.
~Don't mind me I'm just a line break named Juliette. ~
After the bell rings we head to our lockers.
"What are you doing when you get home?" Fang asks me.
"We've got a music room in the basement and I haven't really gotten to look at it yet so I'm going to fiddle around in there. Do you want to come over?" I ask him.
"Sure." He replies with a shrug. We get to our lockers and everyone else is there and ready to go.
"Y'all are going to have to find a ride for tomorrow because I'm riding Padfoot tomorrow." I told the girls as I'm putting away my Spanish stuff.
"But our cars aren't here yet!" Nudge whines.
"Ummm who's Padfoot?" Iggy asks.
"My motorcycle duh." I tell him and turn to the girls, "That's not my problem."
"You named your motorcycle Padfoot." Gazzy says confused.
"Yes I just said that. Gosh Gazzy keep up." I start walking outside.
"Nice name. Mine's named Backbiter." Fang says beside me.
I look at him wide eyed and say, "Awesome!" We get to my car and I see a beautiful deep red 2014 Dodge Challenger and a sublime green 2015 Dodge Challenger in the row behind my car. (A.N. Cars will be on my profile.) I go up to the red challenger and look inside and whisper to myself, " Damn."
I hear Fang chuckle from behind me, "You like her?"
"She's yours?" I asks astonished. He nods and opens the door for me, "She's gorgeous! I almost got one like this but decided this color doesn't look as good on a Camaro."
"What you aren't going to drool over my car too?" Gazzy asks from beside the green challenger.
I laugh, "She's a beauty Gazzy."
"I know." He says looking smug and laughs.
"Alright let's get home so I can check out the music room!" Everyone laughs and gets in their cars and heads home.
While in the car Nudge asks, "Max can we please listen to something else?! No one else likes this music."
"You know what I say about that 'Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole.' End of discussion." I reply. Nudge grumbles and starts talking to Ella.
I see Fang pull up beside me and pulls a little ahead of me. Of course being me I speed up so I'm in front. It goes back and forth for a little bit until I decide to just gun it and race him toward our houses. Half way there someone comes driving down Fang's lane, oh did I not mention that we were racing on a two way road? Oh, well we are. Fang had to hard brake to get back behind me. In my review mirror I can see Fang cussing me out and I laugh.
"Max that's not funny! We could have died!" Nudge and her dramatics make me shake my head still looking at Fang in my review mirror smirking.
When we get to the house Fang and Gazzy, though I'm not sure where he was during all this, just park in their driveways. When everyone walks into the house I smell the delicious aroma of freshly cooked cookies! So obviously I throw my stuff on the couch and run to the kitchen where my mom is taking a batch of cookies out of the oven.
"Not yet Max." My mom says before I could even cross the kitchen and without looking up, "Go and get y'all's homework done and when they've cooled off I'll call for you."
"Fine." I grumble, "Oh and all the boys are here so we're gonna check out the basement when we're done with our homework."
"Is the Ride's boy here too? I still haven't gotten to meet him yet."
"Yo, Max-a-roni are we gonna go check out the basement?" Fang yells from the living room.
I turn to my mom, "Unfortunately yes he is." She laughs and we walk to the living room.
"Cookie goddess says we have to do homework first." I tell Fang pointing to my mom.
"Okay." He replies nodding.
"Hi I'm Max, Nudge, and Ella's mom Valencia, but you can call me Val." Mom tells him.
Fang replies, "I'm Nick, but everyone calls me Fang."
"Funny nickname but hey I can't say anything, one of my daughters is nicknamed Nudge." My mom laughs.
"Haha you're a real hoot mom, are the cookies done yet?" I ask not wanting to wait any longer for my little heaven.
"Calm your pits Max, I'll bring them in here but y'all better be doing homework when I get in here or none." She replies.
I grumble and mumble, "Fine. What if we don't have homework?"
"Then go on down stairs and I'll bring the cookies down there."
"Awesome! See ya!" I head to the basement door and rush down the stairs, flick on the light and am in amazement about how wicked it is. There's a beautiful large black grand piano with rainbow keys, a red pearl drum set double bass, with several electric and acoustic guitars. It was by far the coolest music room I could ask for.
Fang whistled behind me, "Nice."
"My thoughts exactly." I say as I go to the piano and play on it for a bit while Fang heads over to the drums.
He looks at me asking for permission. I nod and say, "Go for it." He sits down and starts playing *rock song*. I go and pick up a guitar and start playing a song that I'm almost done writing. I sing under my breath and don't notice that Fang has stopped playing the drums.
"Whatcha singing?" He asks sitting down in a chair across from me.
"Skater Boy." I say not paying attention. I don't notice he gives me a weird look because that's not even a song. Yet.
He goes back to the drums and picks up the rhythm of the song and plays with me until I get to where I haven't finished it. "That the end?" He asks, "That's not a very good ending."
I give him a fake scowl and answer, "No dummy its not. I just don't know how to end it."
He walks over and picks up another guitar, "Why not like this?" He picks up from the last line and plays a couple of lines and finishes it.
"Of course! Why didn't I think of that?!" I rush to get my music book and flip to the page this song is on and start to write it down.
"So you write songs huh?"
"What gave that away smart one?"
"Cookies for two!" My mom says coming down the stairs with a half full plate of her heavenly cookies.
"But there's hardly any there!" I exclaim.
"Now Max, I'm cutting you back on cookies, I'm afraid you have a slight addiction." She tries to say with a straight face.
"Ha! Slight! That's a complete and udder understatement." Ella says coming up behind mother.
"Oh shush! Like you don't have an addiction to shopping." I stick out my tongue at her.
"Girls! You too could go on like this all night if you don't stop now. Why don't you go upstairs and play some games?" Mom cuts in.
"Let's play just dance!" Nudge squeals from somewhere on the stairs. Dang when did everyone decide to come down stairs.
I groan, "We always play that. Can't we play something else for once?"
"Ooh let's play guitar hero! Max you can sing! Come on!" Ella grabs my arm and practically drags my butt up two flights of stairs to get to the bonus room.
I huff but go along with it because I honestly don't mind. No one protested, well Iggy did but that's because he's blind, so I grabbed the mic, Ella and Nudge took the guitars, and Fang took a seat behind the drums. Since Gazzy wasn't playing we let him pick the song. And of course since I'm the luckiest person ever he had to pick my least favorite song on here.
"Oh Max is really good at this one!" Nudge squeals. I grumble under my breath and I see Fang smirking at me. I gave him a scowl and cleared my throat getting ready for the song.
"Dang Max you've got a set of pipes." Iggy said when the song got to the singing part.
I laughed and sang, "Thanks."
We played that for awhile then the boys had to go home. We had dinner then I did my nightly routine and got my laptop ready for another video. I made sure my door was shut and locked before starting my video.
"You guys got any cookies for me?! No? Psshh well screw you guys. Haha hey guys so earlier today I finished another original song but won't be singing it till next video. Today I'll be singing '18' by 5SOS.
Oooh
Oooh
I wish that I was eighteen, do
All the things
You read in a magazine
I'm not saying I wanna be Charlie Sheen
She's just a little bit older
But I want to get to know her
She said it's already over
So tell me what else can I do?
I bought my fake ID for you
[Chorus:]
She told me to meet her there
I can't afford a bus fare
I'm not old enough for her
I'm just waiting 'til I'm eighteen
Oooh
I think she wants to get with me
But she's got a job in the city
Says that she's always too busy
She's got a naughty tattoo, in
Place that I want to get to,
But my mom still drives me to school
So tell me what else can I do?
I bought my fake ID for you
[Chorus:]
She told me to meet her there
I can't afford a bus fare
I'm not old enough for her
I'm just waiting 'til I'm eighteen
You got me waiting in a queue
For a bar I can't get into
I'm not old enough for you
I'm just waiting 'til I'm eighteen
In my bedroom thinking of ya
Her pictures in my private folder
I know one day that I will hold her
I'll make my move when I get older
Make my move when I get older
[Chorus:]
She told me to meet her there
I can't afford a bus fare
I'm not old enough for her
I'm just waiting 'til I'm eighteen
You got me waiting in a queue
For a bar I can't get into
I'm not old enough for you
I'm just waiting 'til I'm eighteen
I'm so sick of waiting 'til I'm eighteen
So that was '18' by 5SOS. So many of you asked where I moved to and how it went and all that jazz. First of all you guys know I'm not going to tell you where I moved to. Second the move was fine, I have actually made more friends than I thought I was going to so that's good and this town doesn't seem too bad so I think I'll live. Remember to watch next weeks video for my new song! Anyways I'm off to eat me some cookies over and out. cookiemonster"
I put the finishing touches on the video and posted it. I decided that what I said in my video was actually pretty true, this town wasn't so bad. I laid down in bed, set my alarm for school tomorrow and my last thought was that I was grateful I get to wear what I want tomorrow.
So so sorry it's taken me forever to write this chapter but you guys know how inconsistent I am with my chapters but this chapter has just killed me. I didn't get just plain old writers block, I knew where I wanted to go, I just didn't know how to get there! Do any of you ever get that?! I find that more irritating than writers block. I had about 1,300 words but I didn't want to post anything because most of my chapters are about 2,000 to 3,000 words and I didn't want to post half a chapter. I obviously figured it out, which took forever! Guess what?! My birthday's in less than a week! Yay! Anyway I know probably half of you don't read this, which I totally don't blame you, so I'll just stop talking. Ooh and to all my American readers, Happy early Fourth of July!~HP
