Fang P.O.V

"All I'm saying is that I don't agree with this interpretation of 'love'. The way this poem represents it is as all smiles, sunshine and rainbows. Not reality. Take the work we did on 'An Inspector Calls'. Back then, it was the done thing for men to be unfaithful and people were so quick to forgive them of their infidelities because of it. Even now, when we know it's wrong, we still do it." I turned my head slightly to face the opinionated voice. The girl had a shy expression imprinted on her face and a blush building in her cheeks. I had never really noticed her before, but man if her argument hadn't caught my attention.

"Thank you Miss Ride. You may sit down now…please." Mrs Jacobs our English Lit teacher practically begged the girl. What was her name again? Maddie? Maya? I knew it began with a 'M'.

"That was awesome Max!" the girl's friend whispered excitedly.

Max! That was it.

There had never been anything remotely special about her. She was always quiet in lessons and seemed pretty much invisible. She blended in with the crowd. Although, that could be because I'm at a school with over 1000 students where the teachers one aim is to take away our individuality with the stupid idea of a school uniform. Not that I'm hostile or anything. So yeah, we all sort of just blended in here, at Itex Upper School. I mean, you obviously get the people who did stand out. It was kind of impossible NOT to notice them. Take Lissa Kennet. The tall, slim, red haired, green eyed beauty of our school. I didn't like that girl. It wasn't that she was your average popular bitch or anything, in fact, she was actually a really sweet girl. Which was precisely why I didn't like her. She made it impossible to hate her. I know, I know, contradiction of the century Fang. But seriously, in a town like this, where everything was boring and dull, and I couldn't wait to get out, I couldn't afford to be wasting time on things like more friends to miss when I finally leave this place. It would be hard enough to say goodbye to the one friend I do have. Because let me tell you now, once I leave Redstone Lodge, I would never come back. I hated this town with a passion. All it had done was prepare me for… nothing. Nothing was ever achieved here, the people in general, weren't that great and I had nothing holding me back. No family to tell me no. After all, the only family I had ever known was my little sister Angel and I hadn't seen her since I was thirteen. We had never known our parents and I didn't really care to. If I didn't know them, I had nothing to miss right? And I had kind of given up on the hopes of finding Angel again. We had grown up as foster kids and had been separated when she was three. Don't let the name fool you though. No seriously, what in the name of fuck were our estranged parents thinking? So anyway, after I had finally come to the heart wrenching conclusion that I would probably never see my baby sister again, I had been carted off to some foster family where all they cared about was good grades and money. Great foundations for a loving family right? Which brings me to another point about this town. Everybody was the same. The girls here were mostly bitchy and had no self respect. All the guys cared about was getting into those girl's pants. And all the parent's were pushy, over demanding control freaks.

So yeah, in a town like this, it was impossible not to blend in. Which was why, when I first noticed this girl, challenging the teacher's opinion on our latest topic of poetry, you can imagine how surprised I was, to find myself wanting to know her.

Her dirty blonde hair didn't have that glimmering shine to it, nor did her chocolate brown eyes hold a sparkle. But looking at her now, in that moment – her hair tossed about her face in careless waves, her cheeks flushed with the adrenaline of the debate, her eyes certainly held a glimmer of something. Victory? Well anyway, looking at this girl who had always seemed so invisible, I had never felt as drawn to know somebody than today.

Maximum Ride. She had definitely caught my attention.

She caught my eye and glared, noticing my scrutinising look.

Well there goes my aching need to know her.

Okay so this is just a random story I decided to try out. I need you guys to review for me and tell me what you think. It won't be updated that regularly to begin cause I still need to finish my latest story – not many more chapters to go now – so yeah, review and let me know what you all think.
