Hi! I'm Mick! I like cookies, chocolate, and tacos. I realized that not many people would make Max cooler than Fang in their stories. I resent that. So in my stories, Max will be absolutely badass. Anyone who disagrees will have to suck it up because that's how life works. Enjoy!

"Fang? How am I supposed to know you won't get thrown in jail again? You're 18, for gods sake!" Kylie yelled at me.

"Stop caring about what I do! My mom and dad sure didn't need you, so why would I?" I screamed back at her. That was the wrong thing to say. My best friend had always felt guilty about how her parents treated her. That's why she moved in with me. She always said that nobody needed her. I used to tell her that wasn't true. I was the only one who said it wasn't true. But now I just said it was. Kylie stopped screaming. She closed her mouth and walked calmly up to our room we shared so she wouldn't feel lonely.

I ran up there with her, only to find her ripping off her bed sheets, her very dark red hair flying in all directions. I saw in her violet eyes, pain. But as soon as it came, it was gone. It was replaced by hate, anger, and vengeance. She finished packing her things and ran out the room with two huge cases.

"Kylie, what are you doing?" I asked her. She just kept walking until she reached the second bedroom that should have been hers. She walked inside, slammed the door, and locked it. I had screwed up. Big time.

At the time, i thought everything would resolve itself by tomorrow. But since that day, the end of the summer of 11th grade, i had never seen or talked to my best friend, Kylie. Until one special day.

I never saw Kylie outside of school. She'd changed. She wore a lot of black eyeliner, her hair was dip dyed black, and her eyes were cold and calculating. This was a side of her i had only seen once. When her parents used to care about her. The first time we did something wrong. Kylie and I stole some chocolate from a store when we were 15. We thought we were so cool, but we got caught. Kylies eyes were cold, her jaw set. Her words were witty and cynical. When they ask her a dangerous question, the corners of her lips curve upwards and her face widens into a grinch smile. She looked absolutely terrifying. After that day, i saw more and more of that Kylie, and then, after the incident, that was all i saw.

Kylie and I have gym together. And if i know anything about Kylie, i know that she loves gym. She never misses a class with Coach Innings. But i never see her before school, or after. She wonders off, and i can't do anything about it.

That day, was a normal day. I woke up, went to school, saw Kylie a gym, (not that she even acknowledged me) finished school, and went to work at the paintball center. But that day, i forgot my keys in my work locker. I quickly run inside to grab them. As I was walking past the landscape, i heard whispers.

"Hurry up Iggy, he might come back." A girl whispered.

"Ash, its kind of hard to perfectly aim the paintball in the dark." A guy answered.

"Just hurry up guys." A different girl said. I walked carefully up behind 3 teens around my age. One dude with shaggy light brown hair and pale skin. He wore a black leather jacket, a blue shirt, gray jeans and black combat boots. Another with dark red hair and sun kissed skin. She wore a black leather jacket, red shorts, a gray tank top and black combat boots. The last one was a girl with golden blonde hair and tanned skin. She wore purple colored shorts, black converse, a black leather jacket and a gray tank top. She was hot. I couldn't see her eyes, but eh.

They were focused on the guy, while he was holding a paintball gun, aiming at a bot like structure. Kind of looked like...

Oh shit

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

A large explosion was set off. I looked back at them to see if they were okay. I finally saw their faces. Why am I not surprised? Iggy Daniels and Maximum Ride. The two most badass kids at our school. The third girl, I was surprised to see. Kylie. They were all laughing and high fiving each other.

"Kylie Carter! What the hell are you doing?" I asked running up to her. Max whipped her blonde head around, staring me down.

"She's not Kylie, she's Ash. Her new name." She informed me.

"No, her name is Kylie. And she's my best friend, who is coming home, now." I said stonily.

"No, I'm not. I make my own choices, Fang." Kylie said. "And if you don't start calling me Ash, then you can kiss your eyesight goodbye!" She said cheerily. I flinched as she smirked me.

"Fine, Ash. But what happened to you?" I asked her.

"You didn't need me, so I found people who did." Iggy, who had been silent all that time, put his arm around her shoulder. I saw that he had a lip ring. Max had a lip ring too. I looked at Ash and saw a tiny black ring wrapped once around her bottom lip.

"WHAT THE HELL! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT PEIRCING?!" I shouted. Ash grinned.

"Max did it for me." She replied. I freaked out. She had no right! I punched Max hard across her face. Ash and Iggy whistle together. "Well you're in for some serious shit, Fang." Ash said while backing up with Iggy.

"Big. Mistake. Bastard." Max said slowly. She jumped up and punched me in the jaw. I didn't even have time to react before she kicked my temple. The last thing I remembered, was Max's face as she smiled down at me.

So? How did you like it? Rate and review! :D
