Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment
By: James Patterson
Max, Fang, Angel, Iggy, and Gasman are fugitives. They're on the run from a secret organization they call The School. They're minors. They're alone. Erasers, dog-human hybrids, are trying to track them. Oh yeah, and did I mention they have wings? These avian Americans are staying in their safe house that they've been living in for years. Until the Erasers find them. Strange things start to happen to them. Six year old Angel starts develop odd abilities. Erasers are able to find them wherever they go. Max finds a bank account with her name. Gasman, well, his name's a hint. But then these bird kids find out more about themselves then they wanted.

Stars
Sparkling, glittering,
Shining, gleaming.
Jewels in the galaxy of black.

Spring
The air is sweet and fresh.
Flowers push through damp earth. 
Everything grows new. 

I DOEn't Get It 1.5

 "Ugh..." My mind was fuzzy. Where were we? I was tied  to a chair. A very soft chair... I shook myself.
Don't fall asleep, I scolded myself. I looked around. All of a sudden, my memories flooded back.
 "Where are my siblings?" I demanded to no one in particular. Really, I don't know who I was asking. Who lived in this... house?  It looked like some hollowed out ice block.  There weren't any windows, just a ladder made of ice that lead up to a hole. The room was decorated oddly, like some mad scientist who loved gummy bears did it. It looked like a lab, except there were gummy bears 7 ft. tall by the walls. In a pool by the corner was a human sized otter.
 "Dosaphine!" Jake yelled. He was tied to a giant marshmallow, just like me. All of my siblings were tied to marshmallow chairs.
 "Where are we?" Dophine asked in a frightened voice. "And who lives here?"
 "That would be me." the voice came from the pool. It was the otter.

Challenge!

So school has started! Yay! Well, yay for me. I know some people hate school(weirdos), but I love it. I know, I'm such a geek. I'm starting middle school, and its kind of scary. My writing challenge is that you must write a story that has to do with school. It doesn't have to be about the actual school, but it has to have something to do with school. But I'd be so cool if you did some sort of thing about a haunted school or something. Okay, since I've said that, don't do that. Remember, it has to be a short story. I have some friends (I'm talking about you, Sam!) who can write stories that are super awesome, but take FOREVER to read. So, remember, short story about school.
