A.N. Okay so I've had a fanfiction account for a while but I never got the chance to actually post anything because I could never figure out how (which is really stupid of me because I'm just now finding out it's super easy) So this is my first story so don't be too harsh in the reviews but I'm open for suggestions on improvement any time! I might not update very often depending on how much homework I get every week so sometimes I'll update three times a week other I'll update once but yeah anyways here's my very first disclaimer... :O HALLELUJAH! I try to be funny but I never succeed... anyways I'll get on with it now. Oh! I almopst forgot okay so in this story Max and Maya are twins and ella is their sister.

Max & Maya= 17 and in grade 11
Ella= 16 in grade 10
Nudge= 16 in grade 10

Disclaimer: I'm not a guy, nor am I finished school yet. Therefore I am not James Patterson, donc (therefore in French) I do not own Maximum Ride or any of it's characters... as much as I wish I could take credit for such an amazing book series (angel was kinda iffy though) I can't so good bye cruel world! I'm going to write this chapter...NOW!

Max POV

Hey, I'm Max and my mom has been making me and my sisters move all the time because of her stupid job. She said when we moved to New York that it'd be the last time, yeah right, sadly I believed her thinking that she was telling truth I decided to actually make friends this time around but now my mom was just ripping me out of here because she was selfish. I looked out the car window as my 'boyfriend' Dylan waved goodbye to me. We broke up, we both knew long distance wouldn't work but he really was a nice guy. Anyways I looked out the window and waved to my friends as we rode in a taxi to the airport where a joyful 10 hour plane ride awaited me, great. We were going from New York all the way to Honolulu, Hawaii.

My sisters Ella and Maya weren't too happy with my mom either, Maya, my twin sister, was being just as stubborn as I was but she was caving in to my mom quickly and Ella could never stay mad at mom. As we boarded the plane Ella tried to lighten the mood "come on guys! It'll be a fresh start for us! We'll get to meet new people and make new friends at least!" Ella said trying, but failing at being enthusiastic "great, another school to have a 'fresh start' in the middle of the year" I grumbled

A.N. if there's no line break here because it didn't work then... PANCAKE LINE BREAK!


10 hours later we got of the plane were my mom's car waited for us in the parking lot. We got our bags off of the luggage wheel thing (A.N. I have no idea what those things are called so there now luggage wheel things) and there them in the trunk of the car. Ella and my mom sat in the front while Maya and I say in the back with our headphones in our ears and our iPods on full blast. We so alike, except we had completely different ideas of what REAL music sounded like, Maya was more of a pop or pop/rock child, I was more of a metal and rock person myself, but that's really all we ever argued about. Anyways I had Asking Alexandria blasting from my headphones while she had something by some pop singer playing that I didn't recognize playing. We drove for about half an hour before we pulled up in front of a semi-large house, it had wood paneling on the outside, the rest was al glass so you could see the living room which was made up of light brown and white furniture and the top floor which seemed to have a hallway with many doors that lead into the bedrooms I presume.

It was nearly nighttime and we only had half of the un-packing done. I'd painted my room all black with purple and neon green splatters everywhere, it looked like Id basically gotten a paint gun and shot the walls like crazy. Which I would have done if I owned a paint gun. I had already moved all my furniture in and started un-packing my clothes when my mom announced that the pizza she'd apparently ordered earlier arrived. I rushed down the stairs and ate five slices of pizza within the course of seven minutes, Ella was looking at me like I was some sort of wild animal, Maya was laughing and my mom was just shaking her head "what?" I said innocently "can't a girl eat pizza in peace?" I said looking 'confused' as to why I was being stared at. We helped my mom clean up the kitchen and then I took a quick shower, I walked out of the bathroom only to run into Maya to see she had a pink streak in her hair "when did that happen?" I asked her jokingly "I just dyed it in the other bathroom so at least people could tell us apart here genius" she said "and you chose pink? Out of all the colors? Pink?" I said, "Yes, because I know you don't like pink" she said in an annoying tone, I sighed "okay, it's time to go to bed now sweetie! It's very very late!" I said in a tone as if I was talking to a four year old "For god's sake I'm 6 minutes younger than you!" she said throwing up her arms in frustration "yeah, six minutes that I'll hold over your head forever" I said patting her head and walking away. I got into my blur snoopy pajama pants and my grey pull over hoodie and crawled in bed, I fell asleep to the sound of music coming from my radio.

A.N. Again if there's no line break then Hi my name is Mrs. Eggplant and I'm a line break


The next morning I woke up at 10AM, huh I guess I slept in. I threw on my bathing suit and pulled an old Beatles T-shirt and black soccer shorts over it. I pulled my brown hair with blonde streaks into a quick bun and went downstairs to get breakfast. I would have cooked it for myself but seeing as every time I try and cook I burn myself, the food and sometimes the kitchen itself. I can't cook so that's why my mom already had food at the table for me. I didn't think I could stay mad at her either she was really trying to make the best of this even though she knew we were all pissed at her. I sat down and wolfed down my breakfast before finding my old surfboard I had from when we lived in California a few years back "mom I'm heading to the beach!" I said, "Alright honey! Be safe!" she said as I closed the door behind me.

I could see the beach from my house so it didn't seem like it'd be that far of a walk,. I got there within 5 minutes and I quickly rushed into the water and sat of my surfboard looking for a good wave (A.N. I've never actually been surfing so I apologize if I screw up how you catch and wave and stuff)I saw a huge wave about to come in and I flattened out on my board and started paddling over it, I got there just in time and I stood up on my board and caught the wave. It felt great to be surfing again but I was still a little out of practice. Suddenly I fell and the wave crashed over me, when I opened my eyes all I saw was blue and I was struggling to get back on the surface. My head surfaced just as another wave crashed over my head and pulled me under, I hit my head on something hard and I saw a flash of red, oh no, I was bleeding. In a struggle to get out I attempted to detach the strap around my ankle connecting it to the surfboard but just as I was about to pass out something warm wrapped around my shoulder and waist and pulled me to surface. Then, it all went black.

Okay so that concluded my first chapter! I wrote it in kind of a rush but next chapter I'll take more time to write! Anyways review please! Also it's only semi edited to i apaologize for any mistake! If you review I'll bumpp you up to level 180983927081 of awesomeness 3 THANKS! :D
