At least she was able to talk, I felt as if I opened my mouth something other than words might come out.&amp;nbsp; Laila laughed and then there was a sudden breeze, she was gone.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;You ok Leesha?&amp;rdquo; my sister asked, her voice muffled guessing she had her head in her hands. I took a deep breath, &amp;ldquo;Yeah I&amp;rsquo;m fine, you know me&amp;hellip;I&amp;rsquo;ve always been a tad queasy when it came to boats or fast rides and&amp;hellip;.yeahh,&amp;rdquo; I said. My sister laughted, &amp;ldquo;Haha very true, we both would get sick at the amusement park back home, but you were always the one to puke first.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s POV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hahaha shut up! How about you?&amp;rdquo; my sister said back to me.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;ehh, I&amp;rsquo;ll be fine.&amp;nbsp; Just have a killer head ache.&amp;rdquo; I said rubbing my head. I looked up and before I could say anything Laila was back and this time she wasn&amp;rsquo;t alone, they were all here&amp;hellip;staring at us.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Holy crap!&amp;rdquo; Me and Alecia said in unison.&amp;nbsp; Ricky chuckled, &amp;ldquo;Oh sorry, did we startle you?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;No, we just randomly shout &amp;lsquo;holy crap&amp;rsquo; when we&amp;rsquo;re bored&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; my sister said in a very sarcastic voice.&amp;nbsp; I smirked at her as we helped each other up.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Well, we&amp;rsquo;re sorry to have frightened you, but it wasn&amp;rsquo;t exactly like there was a door to knock on to announce our arrival,&amp;rdquo; said Ricky as he looked around jokingly.&amp;nbsp; I looked around too, it was the first time I&amp;rsquo;d actually taken into account of where we were&amp;hellip;we were exactly nowhere.&amp;nbsp; Outside some broken down carnival.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Where are we?&amp;rdquo; Alecia said having just looked around as I had.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s POV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;ldquo;Presario Carnival,&amp;rdquo; answered Nate taking a step forward.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;This is where we come to have important conversations and just to you know&amp;hellip;hang out.&amp;nbsp; No one comes out here anymore, so it&amp;rsquo;s a nice place for us.&amp;rdquo; He said with a smile that made me weak in the knees.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Of course, we do get the occasional trespasser or two, which of course me and Laila are more than happy to scare off,&amp;rdquo; Ricky said giving Laila a high five.&amp;nbsp; We all kind of just stood there without saying anything for a moment until Chase said something.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;So&amp;hellip;Laila said Melissa had figured out the secret&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Both me and my sister jumped a little bit when Chase spoke, he hardly ever talked so neither of us were exactly use to his voice. &amp;ldquo;Melissa figured it out?&amp;rdquo; Said Seph from across from me, we were all kinda standing in a circle at this point.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yes sir I did!&amp;rdquo; Mely smiled, you could tell she was proud of herself.&amp;nbsp; I would be too if I&amp;rsquo;d figured it out, to be honest I was a little mad at myself for not having figured it out.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Way to go Mel!&amp;rdquo; Seph said, looking the happiest I&amp;rsquo;d ever seen him. &amp;ldquo;Haha I could just hug you,&amp;rdquo; he said but before he could step closer Chase put an arm out to stop him.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Just because they say she figured it out doesn&amp;rsquo;t mean she actually did,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;No offense Melissa, it&amp;rsquo;s just it&amp;rsquo;s easy to get something like this wrong&amp;hellip;it&amp;rsquo;s not exactly what you&amp;rsquo;d call normal&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;the word &amp;lsquo;normal&amp;rsquo; almost seemed to pain Chase to say.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s POV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m not offended Chase, I understand what you&amp;rsquo;re saying but I really really think I&amp;rsquo;ve figured it out.&amp;rdquo; I had never felt so sure of something.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Ok then, let&amp;rsquo;s here it! I have total faith in your answer Melissa,&amp;rdquo; Laila said with a little wink.&amp;nbsp; I looked at Leesha and reached my hand out for her&amp;rsquo;s, she took my hand and I held her&amp;rsquo;s as hard as I could knowing that what I was about to say is something neither of us would ever thought we&amp;rsquo;d say about people we considered our friends.&amp;nbsp; I closed my eyes and took a breath, &amp;ldquo;Your secret is that the five of you are all vam...vampires&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s POV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; "&gt;I busted out with laughter,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Very funny Mely, but not exactly the right time to be trying to break the ice.&amp;rdquo; I said looking at her.&amp;nbsp; She turned her head and gave me a confused look, &amp;ldquo;Leesha I&amp;rsquo;m being completely serious&amp;hellip;.that&amp;rsquo;s the secret, they&amp;rsquo;re vampires.&amp;rdquo; I couldn&amp;rsquo;t believe what my sister was saying, she&amp;rsquo;s lost her mind.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Mely, I think you hit your hea or something because that&amp;rsquo;s the lamest guess I&amp;rsquo;ve ever heard. I mean come on, even I know it&amp;rsquo;s wrong and it&amp;rsquo;s not even my secret.&amp;nbsp; Come on guys, tell her she&amp;rsquo;s wrong it wont hurt her feelings,&amp;rdquo; I said looking around the circle&amp;hellip;they all just stared at me. &amp;ldquo;&amp;hellip;tell her she&amp;rsquo;s wrong Nate&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; I said to him feeling my heart speed up, but he just stared at me his eyes pleading until he turned his head away from me.&amp;nbsp; I felt my stomach drop&amp;hellip; &amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;s right?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

Just as I was about to tell her we walked into the lunch room and I felt like everyone was watching me or listening to our conversation. &amp;ldquo;umm&amp;hellip;I&amp;rsquo;ll tell you later..too many people.&amp;rdquo; I said locking arms with her as we entered the lunch line.&amp;nbsp; I was so excited that I&amp;rsquo;d finally figured the secret I wasn&amp;rsquo;t paying attention to what I was doing and completely walked in to the person in front of us in the lunch line.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh my gosh I&amp;rsquo;m sorry!&amp;rdquo; I said hoping I hadn&amp;rsquo;t made them spill their lunch.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh it&amp;rsquo;s totally ok-Hey you two!&amp;rdquo; It was Emma.&amp;nbsp; I felt bad the instant I saw her, I&amp;rsquo;d completely forgotten about her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s POV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;Me and my sister gave each other the same look, we were both disappointed with the fact that we&amp;rsquo;d kinda forgotten about the first friend we&amp;rsquo;d made here because we&amp;rsquo;d become so rapped up in figuring out Chase and his friend&amp;rsquo;s secret.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hey Emma! I feel like we haven&amp;rsquo;t seen you in forever&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; I said with a warm smile.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yeah I know right. I guess you guys have just been overwhelmed by being pulled into the world of those freakishly pretty people. Haha I don&amp;rsquo;t blame you, you two are the first ones they&amp;rsquo;ve talked to outside of their little circle.&amp;rdquo; Emma said as we all paid for our lunches. &amp;ldquo;No no, that&amp;rsquo;s not true Emma,&amp;rdquo; my sister lied. &amp;ldquo;Well it&amp;rsquo;s just they&amp;rsquo;re very welcoming, you know.&amp;nbsp; They&amp;rsquo;re helping get use to a new town and everything you know?&amp;rdquo; My sister didn&amp;rsquo;t handle guilt well, neither did I for that matter. &amp;ldquo;Yeah I know, well do you guys wanted to sit at my lunch table today?&amp;nbsp; If you don&amp;rsquo;t it&amp;rsquo;s totally cool, I just thought you know seeing how we ran into each other and everything&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I looked around at the lunch room looking for Nate and everyone else, they were sitting at our normal table watching us.&amp;nbsp; I wanted so badly to go sit with them but I felt awful about not having talked to Emma in so long.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s POV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;I followed my sister&amp;rsquo;s gaze and saw she was staring at Seph&amp;rsquo;s table and just as I looked over I made complete eye contact with Seph, it was like he was pulling me in with those beautiful eyes of his.&amp;nbsp; But I shook my head and looked back at Emma, I wasn&amp;rsquo;t going to ditch her again.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;d love to sit with you today Emma.&amp;rdquo; I smiled at her. &amp;ldquo;Score!&amp;rdquo; She said jokingly and led us over to her table.&amp;nbsp; I looked at Leesha, her face looked like how I felt, a mixture of disappointment, confusion, but yet kind of happy. Disappointment because now we couldn&amp;rsquo;t tell our friends that I&amp;rsquo;ve figured out the secret, confusion because we didn&amp;rsquo;t know how our friends would feel about us not sitting with them today and not even being able to go over and say we&amp;rsquo;re not sitting with them, but yet happy because we&amp;rsquo;re spending time with our first real friend we made in this weird town.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s POV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;Lunch was actually a lot of fun with Emma and her friends.&amp;nbsp; Don&amp;rsquo;t get me wrong, I love having lunch with Nate and all of them but it was kind of a nice escape from the whole deep dark secret thing.&amp;nbsp; Although that shouldn&amp;rsquo;t be that much of an issue anymore seeing how Mely seemed to have figured it out.&amp;nbsp; I have to admit though, during the whole lunch, my sister and me kept looking over at Nate and Seph&amp;rsquo;s table, missing their company.&amp;nbsp; As the end of lunch bell rang my sister and I picked up our backpacks and cleared off our trays before leaving the lunchroom.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hey, I gotta hit the bathroom before class, wanna go with me?&amp;rdquo; My sister asked. &amp;ldquo;Sure, we&amp;rsquo;re in no rush,&amp;rdquo; I said with a smile.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Did you ever notice that girls never seem to go to the bathroom alone?&amp;rdquo; I giggled. &amp;ldquo;Haha you&amp;rsquo;re right, I guess it&amp;rsquo;s just in our DNA.&amp;rdquo; Melissa laughed back as we entered the bathroom.&amp;nbsp; And then, as if she were faster than wind, Laila was suddenly standing next to the sinks in front of us.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hey girlies.&amp;rdquo; She said with a kind of odd smile.&amp;nbsp; I looked from Mely and then back to Laila.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hi Laila,&amp;rdquo; was said in unison.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Can we talk?&amp;rdquo; she said crossing hr arms, my sister and I both nodded our heads.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;So, you guys didn&amp;rsquo;t sit with us today&amp;hellip;and you didn&amp;rsquo;t bother to come tell us why?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Oh, we&amp;rsquo;re really sorry about that!&amp;rdquo; I started, &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s just that Emma was our first friend we made here and we haven&amp;rsquo;t really been talking to her lately,&amp;rdquo; my sister finished.

And we were rather offended that you guys didn&amp;rsquo;t even take the two second walk over to our table to tell us you couldn&amp;rsquo;t sit with us.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Laila said, dang she was good at guilt tripping me. Just what I needed, more guilt.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re really really sorry Laila,&amp;rdquo; I said feeling like total scum.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;We just weren't sure if you guys would you know&amp;hellip;let us,&amp;rdquo; my sister added in.&amp;nbsp; Laila looked surprised and confused.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Girls, its not like you&amp;rsquo;re our prisoners. If you want to spend time with other people every once in awhile then go right ahead it&amp;rsquo;s not like we&amp;rsquo;re going to kil-&amp;ldquo; Laila suddenly stopped her sentence, as if she were about to say something she&amp;rsquo;d regret later.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Nevermind..umm, all I&amp;rsquo;m saying is that feel free to tell us if you want to spend time with other people, ok? We wont be mad, I promise.&amp;rdquo; Laila walked closer and took both mine and my sister&amp;rsquo;s hands, &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re sorry,&amp;rdquo; we said in unison. &amp;ldquo;Geez Laila, haha your hands are sooo cold,&amp;rdquo; Leesha said with a tiny shiver. &amp;ldquo;haha well just take it as another hint,&amp;rdquo; Laila winked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; "&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s POV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;OH!&amp;rdquo; My sister squeaked as she jumped. &amp;ldquo;Laila!! I figured out what you guys are last block! I know the secret!&amp;rdquo; She smiled bigger than I&amp;rsquo;d ever seen Melissa smile.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;rsquo;d almost forgotten she&amp;rsquo;d figured out the secret&amp;hellip;almost.&amp;nbsp; Laila&amp;rsquo;s eyes widened, &amp;ldquo;You did?! Finally!&amp;rdquo; She cheered and jumped just as my sister had.&amp;nbsp; I couldn&amp;rsquo;t help but laugh at the sight of them.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Ok, ok I&amp;rsquo;m feeling very left out here,&amp;rdquo; I said. &amp;ldquo;Can you please tell me now Mely that way I can be all excited and jumpy like you two&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; I smiled nudging her in the side with my elbow. &amp;ldquo;Of course! Laila and everyone are-&amp;ldquo; but before she could finish Laila put a hand of her mouth. &amp;ldquo;Not here you two! Haha we all need to be together when you finally say what we are. Everyone needs to know you&amp;rsquo;ve figured out the secret.&amp;rdquo; She said heading towards the doors. &amp;ldquo;But Lai, we&amp;rsquo;ve all got class right now&amp;hellip;and we don&amp;rsquo;t all have class together..&amp;rdquo; I said a little confused about how she expected us to all be together at the moment.&amp;nbsp; She smiled a very devious smile, &amp;ldquo;Who said anything about going back to class?&amp;rdquo; I look at Mely, she was just as confused as me but before either of us could say anything, we were being pulled so fast by Laila it felt like we were flying.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;Chapter 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke up the next morning a little dazed.&amp;nbsp; Our new friends were certainly&amp;hellip; something.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I crawled out of my warm bed and walked towards mine and Mely&amp;rsquo;s shared bathroom and looked in the mirror.&amp;nbsp; Eww.&amp;nbsp; I had some serious work to do.&amp;nbsp; I washed my face, and brushed my teeth. Before pulling out my make-up, I opened the door to Mely&amp;rsquo;s room and went in side, but she wasn&amp;rsquo;t in her bed. I turned around and - &amp;ldquo;Boo!&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Ahh!&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I screamed hitting the floor.&amp;nbsp; Melissa started laughing and I shot her a dirty look.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Awee, your so cute, but I just couldn&amp;rsquo;t help myself.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I laughed and stomped back into the bathroom, Melissa at my heals.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I hate you,&amp;rdquo; I said looking at her,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;how is it possible that I am stuck with the curly hair, and you have straight hair?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I said fussing with my hair.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Well love, we are fraternal twins, you also have dark hair and mines blonde.&amp;nbsp; And your short,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; She laughed.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Alright, alright, I think we have covered enough differences for one day.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I said while starting to straighten my hair.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She brushed her teeth and continued giggling to herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once we were both done getting ready, hair done, make-up done,&amp;nbsp; we went into our rooms to get dressed.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What should I wear Leesha?&amp;rdquo; I yelled calling through the door.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Umm, how about your light blue jeans with the rips in them, the ones I love, and your blue v-neck t-shirt with the flowers down the side.&amp;rdquo; She suggested.&amp;nbsp; I shrugged.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Ok cool.&amp;rdquo; I got dressed and cut through our bathroom into my sisters room.&amp;nbsp; She was standing looking in her mirror.&amp;nbsp; She was wearing a white little summer dress with a black cardigan and black flats,&amp;nbsp; I was wearing my white flats.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Trying to impress a certain super boy?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I asked laughing.&amp;nbsp; My sister was usually pretty punk esque, but she occasionally wore really girly things that threw me off.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hahaha you really are a panda now.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Shut up,&amp;rdquo; She laughed.&amp;nbsp; Panda was my sisters nick-name because she wore black eye-liner, has dark hair, is short and cute, and now she&amp;rsquo;s wearing black and white. At least that&amp;rsquo;s what her friends back home would say.&amp;nbsp; She also adds her emotion with panda.&amp;nbsp; She&amp;rsquo;s a loser.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Do I look ok?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; She asked looking a little unsure,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Gorgeous, and myself?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I said looking down at my outfit.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Very cute,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; She laughed.&amp;nbsp; We walked down the stairs together and into the kitchen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa went and got out bowls and spoons and I searched the pantry for our cereals and brought them to my sister.&amp;nbsp; We ate at the table, chatting about yesterday with huge smiles on our faces. I finished first and put my bowl in the dishwasher.&amp;nbsp; I grabbed my purple purse, and my book bag filled with binders for my classes.&amp;nbsp; Mely grabbed hers and pulled out her keys to lock the door behind us.&amp;nbsp; Just then two cars came speeding onto our street.&amp;nbsp; I laughed.&amp;nbsp; Nate got out of the car, dazzling as always.&amp;nbsp; Seph out of the drivers seat.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Need a ride ladies?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He asked.&amp;nbsp; Melissa blushed.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yes,&amp;rdquo; I said smiling at Nate.&amp;nbsp; He led me over to the car, and Melissa climbed into the front seat.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Where are the others?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Mely asked.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;In my truck,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Seph nodding behind us with a look on his face that made it clear he was not happy about it.&amp;nbsp; Nate laughed and we wheeled down our street and towards our school at full speed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;So is reckless driving a clue?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I asked laughing.&amp;nbsp; Seph chuckled, &amp;ldquo;well you see, a silly crash can&amp;rsquo;t hurt us.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I looked back at my sister, and she nodded, immortality.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The boys parked next to each other, and we all piled out of the two vehicles.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I looked at my schedule, &amp;ldquo;Ughh Interior design.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Leesha laughed.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hey it&amp;rsquo;s not my fault we got transferred to the same classes here as we had in Jersey my love,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I know I know, but I still makes me laugh.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Leesha went on saying while looking at her schedule.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Win, Creative writing,&amp;nbsp; hehe Happy Panda,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I laughed,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Lucky you.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; The bell rang and I groaned.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Don&amp;rsquo;t worry about it Melissa, I have the class with you,&amp;rdquo; Laila smiled.&amp;nbsp; Well this should be interesting.&amp;nbsp; We all went our separate ways, off to class.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;So Seph?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Laila smiled.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Wait what?!&amp;rdquo; I demanded feeling my cheeks redden.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Just something Nate picked up,&amp;ldquo; she smiled.&amp;nbsp; I laughed awkwardly which she clearly saw as a yes.&amp;nbsp; Nate, how nice of him to mention that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walked off to my next class with Nate and we sat down next to each other.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;So creative writing?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Nate said obviously trying to make small talk.&amp;nbsp; Did someone as perfect as him really get nervous?&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Umm yeah, I love it.&amp;nbsp; I write songs, and stories, and poems all the time.&amp;nbsp; I also choreograph my own contemporary dances, they are supposed to tell stories.&amp;rdquo; Why did I mention that?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Wow! Really? Your pretty clumsy, you dance?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He asked laughing at me a little.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Well yeah, I am graceful when I dance, sheesh,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He laughed again.&amp;nbsp; The teacher came in and told us we would be writing a short story about how experiences change people.&amp;nbsp; It would be due in two weeks.&amp;nbsp; I smiled, well I defiantly knew what I would be writing about.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Umm, Ms. Peters, can it be a narrative?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I asked sticking up my hand.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yes it may, and welcome Ms. Pike,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I smiled and looked down at my notebook.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Sounds like a good idea to me,&amp;rdquo; Nate smiled.&amp;nbsp; I stared at him wide-eyed,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Well then Mr. Nosey,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I said nudging him.&amp;nbsp; He cringed a bit.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I demanded. &amp;ldquo;Oh nothing it&amp;rsquo;s just you smell very nice,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; he coughed, &amp;ldquo;anyways so what are you up to after school?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He asked.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Ohh umm trying to catch up in math, I don&amp;rsquo;t understand it at all, and we are having our test on it tomorrow.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I said sadly.&amp;nbsp; He smirked,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yeah, Chase told me about that.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He put his hand on my shoulder and I looked up from my paper.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Want some help after school?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He smiled, and I nodded dazzled by his perfect smile.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My next class was Biology with my sister which was exciting.&amp;nbsp; I smiled when I saw her in the hallway looking a little lost.&amp;nbsp; I looked towards our class and yelled &amp;ldquo;Hey Leesha, right there,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I told her nodding towards the door.&amp;nbsp; She laughed and let herself in, I followed and took a seat at her lab table.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Welcome ladies, would you two like to be lab partners for the year seeing as your both new?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Our new Biology teacher asked, Mr. Walders, as it said on the board.&amp;nbsp; I looked at my sister and we both nodded.&amp;nbsp; We were taking notes this class, not always the most exciting thing, but it was easy enough.&amp;nbsp; I copied down my notes quickly, my sister had always been a faster righter.&amp;nbsp; I looked over to see she had finished and was now writing something else.&amp;nbsp; I nudged her, &amp;ldquo;What&amp;rsquo;s that?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I whispered.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hold on,&amp;rdquo; she mumbled and continued writing.&amp;nbsp; I continued to copy, and she shoved her notebook towards me.&amp;nbsp; In her small perfect printing, nearly identical to mine, she had written:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Immortality&lt;br /&gt;-Insane speed&lt;br /&gt;-Scaring people&lt;br /&gt;-Supernatural powers&lt;br /&gt;-Incredible strength.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I giggled cause I knew just what it was.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When the bell rang, me and Alecia trudged off to lunch.&amp;nbsp; We were both a little nervous, our new friends were always surprising us.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content>

    <lj:music>If It Means A lot To You- ADTR</lj:music>
    <content type="html">&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: larger; "&gt; Chapter 7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stepped out on to the ice very carefully being sure I didn&amp;rsquo;t fall in front of our new &amp;ldquo;friends&amp;rdquo;,  Mely taking the same precautions.   I glanced up at Nate and caught him smirking at me as he gracefully flew out onto the ice.  He smiled at me.  &amp;ldquo;Want some help?&amp;rdquo;  He asked taking my hand.   I blushed and again he laughed at me.  &amp;ldquo;Pfft, in that case I will do it myself,&amp;rdquo;  I said playfully taking my hand by and skating ahead.  I skated around behind my sister and Seph and noticed he has his arm around her helping her skate.  I smiled at the sight.  I turned to look over my shoulder to look at Laila teaching Rickey how to spin.  I watched how graceful she was, a little two graceful.  As I was staring in awe, my right skate caught onto the left and I started to fall.  When out of nowhere, Nate caught me.  My sister turned, and started skating towards me with the others.   &amp;ldquo;Where did you come from?&amp;rdquo;  I asked him a little bit dazed and confused. He winked at me.  The others smiled, and Mely looked just as confused as I was.   Insane speed. Scaring people. Supernatural powers.  Melissa nodded her head.  It was scary how she always seemed to know what I was thinking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked over at Seph and he smiled a dazzling smile that nearly made me fall over.   Nate laughed.  &amp;ldquo;What?&amp;rdquo;  I demanded.  &amp;ldquo;Oh its just something I heard.&amp;rdquo;  He said winking.  That will get annoying.   The night went on full of laughter, plenty of falls on mine and my sisters part,  and bonding.  I found myself getting closer to all of them even with only knowing them a short time.  And lets admit it, I really liked Seph.  &amp;ldquo;So, since you guys cant tell us, could you show us?&amp;rdquo;  Alecia asked turning to Ricky.  He sat a little unsure for a moment.  &amp;ldquo;Well we couldn&amp;rsquo;t directly, because that could be dangerous for you girls, but we could give you more clues.&amp;rdquo;  He said raising his eyebrows at her.  The rest of the gang nodded.  My sister gave me a nervous glance, and I giggled awkwardly.   &amp;ldquo;Oh come on you guys,&amp;rdquo; Laila said cheerfully yanking us both up.  I sighed.  Its not like we could get many more surprises tonight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We followed them behind the Community Centre, and into the forest.    It had gotten dark  since we had first gone inside, and made things a lot more creepy.  I was just about to say something when Nate cut me off.  &amp;ldquo;Oh don&amp;rsquo;t be scared,&amp;rdquo; he said gently putting his arm around me.   &amp;ldquo;But-&amp;rdquo;  I began to say. &amp;ldquo;Sorry, I just knew you would say that.&amp;rdquo;  He said smiling.  &amp;ldquo;Well what else do you know?&amp;rdquo;  I said stopping suddenly crossing my arms.  &amp;ldquo;Well, I know you like me.&amp;rdquo;  He smiled a smile that made me smile.  We sat smiling at each other a moment when I collected my thoughts again,  &amp;ldquo;Hey wait!  I never said that,&amp;rdquo;  He laughed.  &amp;ldquo;Your cute when your mad you know?  But you will,&amp;rdquo;  And with that he put his arm back around me where we continued to follow the others.  &amp;ldquo;So what exactly are you showing us?&amp;rdquo;  My sister asked, a little confused.  &amp;ldquo;Ok fine,&amp;rdquo;  Nate said looking at Chase.  I shook my head.  It was defiantly going to take a while to get used to this.  Nate went from standing beside me, to directly in front of me in the blink of an eye.  I gasped.  He put his hands under mine and picked me up with little effort, and suddenly he tossed directly in the air.  I screamed, and before I knew it he caught me in his arms.   &amp;ldquo;Woah,&amp;rdquo;  my sister breathed.  Incredible strength.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ahhem!&amp;rdquo;  I coughed interrupting Nate&amp;rsquo;s and my sisters lovey dovey stare fest.  She looked at me, blushed, and Nate put her down.  &amp;ldquo;Well I hate to be a party pooper guys, but me and Leesha have to be home in 5 minutes.&amp;rdquo;  I said.  She looked at me wide-eyed  &amp;ldquo;We cant break our curfew!  Remember what happened last time?&amp;rdquo;    I shuddered at the memory.  My sister and I had been caught at a party when we lost track of time, when we had told our parents we were at Liz&amp;rsquo;s.   We hugged our friends goodbye, and my sister took my hand.  We started towards our house when Nate and Seph leaped in front of us.  We stopped suddenly,  Leesha almost falling forward.  &amp;ldquo;Well aren&amp;rsquo;t you two just the most graceful pair,&amp;rdquo;  Seph said laughing.  I giggled.  True.  &amp;ldquo;Anyway I think we can be of some assistance,&amp;rdquo;  Nate smiled.  &amp;ldquo;How?&amp;rdquo;  My sister and I asked in unison.   They both turned around, there backs facing us.  &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Get on,&amp;rdquo;  Nate said.  Alecia jumped on to his back, as I did with Seph.  &amp;ldquo;But how is thiiiiiisssssssss---&amp;rdquo;  We suddenly shot forward through the forest with great speed and without warning.   &amp;ldquo;Ow,&amp;rdquo;  I mumbled as I hit my hand on a branch.  I curled in close against Seph&amp;rsquo;s muscular back,&amp;rdquo;  He felt like a perfectly carved Greek god as much as he looked like one.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within a minute or two, we arrived at our back door.  &amp;ldquo;Wow,&amp;rdquo;  I said jumping down.  I stumbled a bit.   I looked at the back window which looked out into the kitchen.  I smiled as I saw my mum gleefully putting things away in our new house.  Well she&amp;rsquo;s in a good mood.  &amp;ldquo;Thanks,&amp;rdquo;  I said turning to face Nate.  He smiled, and with that kissed me on the cheek.  I blushed deeply.  &amp;ldquo;I- umm.&amp;rdquo;  I muttered trying to speak.  &amp;ldquo;See you tomorrow Alecia,&amp;rdquo;  He told me, laughing a little at my reaction.  And before I could blink, he was gone.  I shrugged and ran to the back door and let myself in.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seph looked at me a moment, and then his head darted to my hand.  It had a slight cut on it.  I sighed.  &amp;ldquo;What is it?&amp;rdquo;  I asked.  &amp;ldquo;Your hand,&amp;rdquo;  he said looking down.  &amp;ldquo;Oh that&amp;rsquo;s nothing, don&amp;rsquo;t worry,&amp;rdquo;  I smiled at him and he took my hand concentrating very hard.  And before I knew it the cut was gone, with no scar, like it was never there.  &amp;ldquo;Thanks,&amp;rdquo; I said amazed.  &amp;ldquo;No problem,&amp;rdquo;  he said taking my hand and kissing it.  Before I could say anything else he too darted into the forest.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

Let's go Mely&amp;quot; I reached for my sister's hand as i stood up, I wasn't going to just sit there and be led on by these people who I knew were hiding things from me. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;No wait, please don't leave yet,&amp;quot; Chase said, this time making both me and my sister jump.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa's POV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked over at Chase, his features were seemed so perfect; almost as if he were one of those Greek sculptures. &amp;nbsp;I felt something move beside me, it was Seph. &amp;nbsp;Just sitting near him gave me butterflies. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;What everyone is trying to say here, and failing misterably at, is that we're not going to directly tell you...we can't. &amp;nbsp;It's against the code.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;I looked up, his deep brown eyes looked so soft. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;what code?&amp;quot; I asked kind of hypnotized. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Ehh, see we can't tell you that either but once you figure out what we are on your own we'll be able to tell you everything!&amp;quot; Ricky jumped up in anticipation, like he'd been waiting to talk to someone about this for years or something. &amp;quot;Gahh this is going to be so freeing!&amp;quot; I couldn't help but laugh a little. Looked over at my sister, she wasn't as amussed. &amp;nbsp;She and Nate were kind of in the middle of a stare down. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;And what if we don't? You know, figure it out? What then?&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;She said. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;You will, trust me, we already know you will.&amp;quot; He replied. &amp;quot;Trust you? Ha! You don't even fully trust us.&amp;quot; My sister never liked being untrusted by people, especially when she knew those people were people she wanted to befriend. &amp;nbsp;I looked at Nate and he looked angry, almost animal like, then Ricky jumped in again; he seems to be the one in the group who tried to stop confrontation when he felt it coming. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;We do trust you, it's just until you figure out the secret we wont be able to tell you certain things. Like Seph said, it's breaking The Code.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia's POV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sighed in utter defeat. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Ok, then, I give up. &amp;nbsp;So how are we suppose to figure out this mysterious secret?&amp;quot; I asked rolling my eyes and resting head in my hands. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;It's nothing really, just spend time with us...just be friends.&amp;quot; said Ricky, looking proud that he'd finally made me cave. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;You'll start to notice things, simple things, but then they'll add up and you'll put all the clues together, like a little puzzled,&amp;quot; said Laila, she looked like a angel where she stood, it made me feel insecure, but I shook it off. &amp;nbsp;The room was silent for a while, no one really making much eye contact, and then I hear a giggling from beside me, it was Melissa. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Oh..sorry,&amp;quot; she said when we all turned to look at her, her face turned bright red within moments. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;You are such a dork,&amp;quot; I said nudging her with my elbow, I couldn't help but to laugh at her. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;I know, I couldn't help it though...it was an awkward silence.&amp;quot; I smiled at her, then looked at our new sorta-kinda-new friends, they were smiling at her too, except for Nate and Chase that was. &amp;nbsp;They both looked deep in thought about something. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;You guys ok?&amp;quot; I asked. &amp;nbsp;Nate's stare looked with mine, his eyes were beyond intense. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Yeah, everythings fine,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;nbsp;The sweetness of his voice made me beleive him even if I didn't want to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa's POV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sat there on the couch pretending to listen to everyone's convorsations. &amp;nbsp;A few minutes had passed since my embarrassing moment of awkward laughing and everyone had kind of broken off into little groups talking. &amp;nbsp;My sister, Ricky, andLaila were all in a little group and Nate and Chase had gotten up and were standing in the righ side corner of the room by a beautiful painting. &amp;nbsp;As I sat there I went through everything that we had encountered with them the past two days, trying to find clues that might help me figure out what these guys were. &amp;nbsp;I sat there, for what felt like forever going over everthing possible and i was drawing a blank. &amp;nbsp;'I'm going to be the one to figure this out' I thought to myself. &amp;nbsp;Just then Seph jumped up from behind me on to the cough, giving me a heart a attack. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Geez Seph! Haha next time could you at least make a noise to let me know you're there?&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;He made a soft laugh and smiled at me, both of which made me blush and wish I could hide away. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Nahh, because then I wouldn't be able to scare you...and scaring people is a favorite past time of my people...&amp;quot; He said and then winked. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Ohhh,&amp;quot; I said in response, showing that I knew I should remember that for later. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;So, so far I have a total of one clue...whoa, that'll get me far.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;I chuckled and streched out my arms in front of me. &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Oh you'll figure it out; you're just going to need to spend more time with us....Speaking of which&amp;quot; he said raising his voice so that everyone could now hear our convorsation, &amp;quot;I believe we're all suppose to be going Ice Skating to night.&amp;quot; He stood up off the cough and headed towards the door as if he were walking on air. &amp;nbsp;He opened it and said, &amp;quot;Shall we?&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;</content>

Yeah so if you don&amp;rsquo;t mind me asking, how did Nate know that Melissa and I were twins?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He stopped suddenly and spun around.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;For the last time. You told us!&amp;rdquo; He snapped and sped down the hallway before I could say anything else.&amp;nbsp; Well Sorry!&amp;nbsp; It had been bugging me all day so far.&amp;nbsp; And with one more class left it was going to drive me nuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walked to my next class in which I conveniently had with Nate.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hey Nate wait up!&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I called after I had spotted him in the hallway.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;He stopped and I swerved through everyone to walk to class with him.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hey, about what happened at lunch,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I started to say but he cut me off.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I knew you would say that,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Nothing,&amp;nbsp; its just we don&amp;rsquo;t know if we can trust you guys,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He told me, and then looking away.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I went to ask but the bell rang.&amp;nbsp; We took our seats and I sat through the rest of the class confused.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This entire day had been strange, really strange.&amp;nbsp; I walked to my locker to meet Melissa so we could walk home.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hey sis,&amp;rdquo; I said walking over to her.&amp;nbsp; She smiled but didn&amp;rsquo;t look at me.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What&amp;rsquo;s the matter?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I asked reaching out to touch her shoulder.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh its-&amp;rdquo; She began to say but stopped.&amp;nbsp; I followed to where she was looking at Nate, Seph, Laila, Chase, and Ricky.&amp;nbsp; They waved us over and without another thought we followed.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What&amp;rsquo;s up?&amp;rdquo; Chase asked.&amp;nbsp; My sister and I exchanged a look and said nothing.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Well we were wondering if you two might want to come over?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Laila asked.&amp;nbsp; I looked at Melissa&amp;rsquo;s stunned face.&amp;nbsp; I smacked her arm lightly.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Sure we would&amp;hellip; love to?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I was still a little confused but we followed them anyways.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My sister and I got into my car and followed them in theirs.&amp;nbsp; We drove up to a place called Derby Hills, next to a forest.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We got out and stepped onto their driveway, looking up at the most beautiful house.&amp;nbsp; It was a light, neutral coloured house.&amp;nbsp; Almost Victorian style.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Wow,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I said speechless.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yeah, it&amp;rsquo;s a little bit extravagant, but its worth it.&amp;nbsp; I mean all five of us live here.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Seph said coming up behind me.&amp;nbsp; He led me towards the house and everyone else followed.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;You mean all of you live together?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Alecia said I little confused.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Well yeah, I will explain in a minute.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He said quietly.&amp;nbsp; Alecia and I exchanged a quick nervous glance and entered the house.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked up at the sparkling chandelier as I entered.&amp;nbsp; The slight sun from outside twinkled off of it creating rainbow designs on the hall walls ahead.&amp;nbsp; It looked almost magical.&amp;nbsp; I looked at Nate and he smiled a flawless smile.&amp;nbsp; I couldn&amp;rsquo;t help but lose my breath.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I knew you would act like this,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He said jokingly.&amp;nbsp; Although he still looked slightly nervous.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What do you mean?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I said looking at him.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yeah, I mean you guys are a little strange,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Melissa added,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;How did you know Alecia and I were twins? Why do you know so much about us?&amp;rdquo; I had never heard my sister question someone like that.&amp;nbsp; Nate walked into the living room, and we all followed making ourselves comfortable in their soft, beige couches.&amp;nbsp; I held my breath waiting for someone to say something.&amp;nbsp; And finally someone did.&amp;nbsp; Laila.&amp;nbsp; She looked right at us and said &amp;ldquo;We know we can trust you guys that&amp;rsquo;s why you are hear.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I was still confused.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s not like we chose for you guys to get involved I mean, well, we heard you coming, we heard that you are going to become a big part of our lives.&amp;nbsp; Besides we only see each other,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; She added with a smile, trying to lighten the tensed room I suppose. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;What?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I asked.&amp;nbsp; This made no sense.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yeah what do you mean you heard us,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Alecia added.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Well more like I did,&amp;rdquo; Nate said finally speaking,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I heard you guys, well mostly you,&amp;rdquo; He said smiling at my sister.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;How do we say this? Umm, well lets say we are different&amp;hellip; we all have powers&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I really wasn&amp;rsquo;t believing what I was hearing.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What do you mean you have powers?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I asked.&amp;nbsp; Suddenly a flame arose from beside me in Ricky&amp;rsquo;s hand.&amp;nbsp; I gasped.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I looked at Seph not believing what I was seeing.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Wow, and you can all do that?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Alecia asked staring at Ricky&amp;rsquo;s hand.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Not exactly, we are all different.&amp;nbsp; Seph can heal,&amp;nbsp; Nate can hear the future,&amp;nbsp; Laila can use a forest to her favour, well rather she can control it.&amp;nbsp; If that makes sense.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I know this is a lot coming at you guys, and we are sorry,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Chase said startling me.&amp;nbsp; My sister looked at him funny.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;He&amp;rsquo;s a tracker,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Nate said looking at her.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Alecia said.&amp;nbsp; Nate smiled.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I heard that you were going to ask.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; She smiled back a little unsure.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;So what exactly are you guys?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I finally asked.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;</content>

Lol. And obviously I'm not the only one cause the people who came in and saw me looked at me like I was crazy for sweeping a rug. Then this one guy came in while I was sweeping and I had knelt down to pick something up and he was like, &amp;quot;Please, please, there's no need for that! I'm just a regular person.&amp;quot; I laughed because i thought he was joking around with me, but he didn't laugh! He just looked at me as if he was being legit. Haha it was freaky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0); "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two- I was bagging for Lindsay and this guy came through her line with no purchases and was just like, &amp;quot;God gave up everything for you,&amp;quot; and then walked towards me and bumped my fist and left!!

"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;Me and my sister went through lunch trying to make conversation with Nate and his friends.&amp;nbsp; It was nice not having to sit alone on our first day of a new school, especially seeing how it was with these guys.&amp;nbsp; They were so friendly, but yet for some reason I was kinda getting this weird vibe off them all; I couldn&amp;rsquo;t explain it.&amp;nbsp; I looked over at Mely for a moment and she was giving me the same look; she was getting the same vibe.&amp;nbsp; I just shook it off though; I wasn&amp;rsquo;t going to be paranoid about something that was probably just me and my sister&amp;rsquo;s imagination.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;So where did you guys move from?&amp;rdquo; asked Chase.&amp;nbsp; It was the first time I&amp;rsquo;d really heard him talk, to be honest it kind of startled me.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh umm, New Hampshire.&amp;rdquo; I answered.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What&amp;rsquo;s it like there?&amp;rdquo; Laila asked looking a little excited for some reason.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s nice,&amp;rdquo; Melissa said she took a sip from her Vitamin water and continued.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;It wasn&amp;rsquo;t sunny all the time, I mean it wasn&amp;rsquo;t Florida or anything, but it was defiantly sunnier than it is here.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; She sounded a little sad about leaving NH; I had to admit I was too.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;But the cold makes for more ice, which allows us to go ice skating, so it all equals out.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Said Seph with a smirk.&amp;nbsp; I was about to add something to the conversation when the bell rang.&amp;nbsp; I sighed and stood up, &amp;ldquo;Time for math.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hey I&amp;rsquo;d rather go to math than Chemistry.&amp;rdquo; My sister laughed.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;If only you were identical twins, then could just switch places,&amp;rdquo; chuckled Nate.&amp;nbsp; We all giggled, but then I thought about what he said and said, &amp;ldquo;How did you know we were fraternal twins?&amp;rdquo; I didn&amp;rsquo;t remember Melissa or me saying that to any of them.&amp;nbsp; I mean it wasn&amp;rsquo;t a secret, but it really hadn&amp;rsquo;t come up in the convo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;We both looked at Nate confused as we walked towards the exit. &amp;ldquo;Oh, Alecia told me and Chase in the lunch line.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;No I didn&amp;rsquo;t.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; My sister said looking pretty confident in her answer.&amp;nbsp; Both Chase and Nate looked at each other and then laughed as if there was some joke the rest of us weren&amp;rsquo;t getting.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yes you did,&amp;rdquo; chimed in Chase.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Whatever you say&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Leesha said rolling her eyes.&amp;nbsp; I was curious, now more than ever, about these guys.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Well I&amp;rsquo;ll show you to Chemistry,&amp;rdquo; said Ricky to me as he dumped out his plate of spaghetti that he had barely touched.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh, you&amp;rsquo;re in my class?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I said relieved I&amp;rsquo;d know someone in the class.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh, no I figured I&amp;rsquo;d just show you where the class is&amp;hellip;.&amp;rdquo; He said looking suddenly very serious. Then burst out into a roar of laughter.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yeah I&amp;rsquo;m in your class.&amp;rdquo; I blushed in embarrassment.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ve noticed you do that a lot,&amp;rdquo; I heard Seph say as he came out of nowhere and opened the door for me.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh trust me she does,&amp;rdquo; Alecia said, elbowing me in the side.&amp;nbsp; The group split up, me and Ricky heading for the second floor while Alecia and Chase headed to math.&amp;nbsp; Everyone else just kind of disappeared.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Me and Ricky agreed to be lab partners and sat at the same table.&amp;nbsp; As the teacher introduced her self as Ms. Tipton, I caught Ricky out of the corner of my flipping aimlessly through a note book full of beautiful drawings.&amp;nbsp; I didn&amp;rsquo;t want to interrupt Ms. Tipton, she seemed kind of short tempered so I wrote him a note.&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;Whoa, Ricky did you draw those??&amp;nbsp; You&amp;rsquo;re an awesome artist. &lt;/i&gt;:]&amp;nbsp; I passed him the note, and as soon as I had looked back at the teacher he&amp;rsquo;d already wrote me back.&amp;nbsp; No, this is Seph&amp;rsquo;s.&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;I borrowed it from him the other day.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;rsquo;ll be sure to tell him you like it&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp; ;)&amp;nbsp; I laughed at the thought but was so impressed with Seph, I didn&amp;rsquo;t think I could have been anymore impressed if I tried.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;I sat there watching as the teacher wrote fast across the board.&amp;nbsp; She had been in the middle of teaching the class about Slope-intercept Form before I moved here and now I was completely lost.&amp;nbsp; I looked at the board; all of her step-by-step examples and I just didn&amp;rsquo;t get it.&amp;nbsp; She wrote class work to do on the board for us to do while she took attendance.&amp;nbsp; I sat there staring at the problems lost in total confusion and then scanned the room and watched as everyone else seemed to be understanding.&amp;nbsp; As I glanced around I saw that Connor was sitting right in front of the teachers desk, I wondered if there was a reason for that.&amp;nbsp; I must have zoned out because before I&amp;rsquo;d even solved one problem the teacher was calling on students for the answers. &lt;u&gt;Please don&amp;rsquo;t pick me&lt;/u&gt;. I thought to myself. As I tilted my head down letting my hair fall in front of my face, as if I were hiding.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Alecia, number 6?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; My head snapped up at the sound of my name.&amp;nbsp; I looked over at problem 6 and I could barely read the problem never mind answer it!&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;umm&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; I said pretending to look down at my paper for the answer.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;y=4x-16&amp;rdquo; said a voice from behind me.&amp;nbsp; I glanced back and saw Chase leaning over my shoulder to see my lack of answers.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Alecia, the answer please,&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Y=4x-16&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; I said not fully sure.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Correct, Blake number 7?&amp;rdquo; I didn&amp;rsquo;t bother to listen the following answers.&amp;nbsp; I looked back to Chase and silently mouthed thanks with a smile.&amp;nbsp; He smirked and went back to his work.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="blogContent" style="font-size: smaller; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;Mrs. Tipton had given us a lab to work on for the remainder of class.&amp;nbsp; We were supposed to be experimenting the different colors fire will turn when exposed to different chemical compounds.&amp;nbsp; Well, that&amp;rsquo;s what me and Ricky would have been doing if I could get our fire lit.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Ok one more try,&amp;rdquo; I said for the 84&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; time.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;rsquo;d spent about 15 minutes trying to light our Bunsen burner, failing each time, while Ricky simply sat there laughing.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;If I don&amp;rsquo;t get it this time, I&amp;rsquo;m calling Ms. Tipton over.&amp;rdquo; I said.&amp;nbsp; I struck the match and before I could get it near the gas the tiny flame had gone out. &amp;ldquo;Ahhhh&amp;rdquo; I groaned in frustration.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I give,&amp;rdquo; I said and turned around to get the teacher&amp;rsquo;s attention but I heard Ricky make that throat noise that you make when you want someone&amp;rsquo;s attention.&amp;nbsp; I turned around and saw that the Bunsen burner was lit and ready to go.&amp;nbsp; I looked quickly over to Ricky, he was looked quite pleased with himself.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;How did you do that?!&amp;rdquo; I asked. Noticing that the matches were still in my hand.&amp;nbsp; He laced his fingers together and stretched them, &amp;ldquo;Oh, umm let&amp;rsquo;s just say fire is&amp;hellip; kind of my thing.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Written By A;ecia &amp;amp; Melyssa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning when my sister and I woke up, we both had the same nervous expressions on our faces.&amp;nbsp; I put on my favourite white graphity-print t-shirt and some light blue jeans.&amp;nbsp; I hope today goes well, I thought to myself before stepping into the bathroom to see what I had to work with.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; My hair was a frizzy mess and I quickly brushed it out and moved on to my teeth.&amp;nbsp; Then my sister walked in rubbing her eyes, she never was a morning person.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Morning sleepy head,&amp;rdquo; I said playfully, she looked at me and smiled.&amp;nbsp; She washed her face, brushed her teeth and went into her room to get dressed.&amp;nbsp; I went down the stairs and poured cereal into a bowl for me and my sister.&amp;nbsp; She usually took longer to get ready.&amp;nbsp; I watched as she came down the stairs a little more awake and fully ready.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Cute outfit,&amp;rdquo; I said looking at what she was wearing,&amp;nbsp; blackish, dark washed jeans, a purple tank top and a black cardigan.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Thanks, same to you,&amp;rdquo; she said giving a little wink.&amp;nbsp; We ate breakfast mostly in silence.&amp;nbsp; I think we were both really nervous about school, or perhaps just our new classmates.&amp;nbsp; I got up and put my bowl in the dishwasher, my sister followed. Then we put on our converse and walked out the door prepared for anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa and I walked through the doors of our new school, Walnut Grove Secondary.&amp;nbsp; I looked around at all of the unfamiliar faces, until Emma walked over to us.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hey,&amp;ldquo; she said smiling, &amp;ldquo;What&amp;rsquo;s your first class?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; My sister looked down at the folded piece of paper in her hand with our classes on it, &amp;ldquo;English,&amp;rdquo; She said grumbling.&amp;nbsp; I giggled, I was the English/Science girl, she was more Math.&amp;nbsp; I was good still, but its nice to have a sister to help you out.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Emma smiled &amp;ldquo;Great! You class is with me.&amp;nbsp; I can show you around.&amp;nbsp; Mr. Turteltaub is pretty slack, he would let me.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Turteltaub?&amp;rdquo; My sister and I asked in unison.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yeah I know,&amp;rdquo; she said laughing.&amp;nbsp; We followed her around the school listening to her talk about all the teachers on our list and about certain groups as we passed. &amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s Michelle and her friends,&amp;rdquo; she told us nodding towards them, &amp;ldquo;best watch out for them.&amp;nbsp; I shook my head in agreement.&amp;nbsp; I looked around at all the other cliques, and suddenly one caught my eye.&amp;nbsp; Nate.&amp;nbsp; I smiled.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What about them?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I asked pointing towards a group of surprisingly beautiful people.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh yeah,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Emma said clearly remembering the day before.&amp;nbsp; I looked over at my sister who&amp;rsquo;s eyes were glued to Nate.&amp;nbsp; I tapped her arm. &amp;ldquo;Hey girly, and I&amp;rsquo;m the one who stares?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; She blushed.&amp;nbsp; I couldn&amp;rsquo;t blame her though, all of the boys were pretty good looking, especially the tall one with the dark hair.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Who&amp;rsquo;s that?&amp;rdquo; I asked Emma.&amp;nbsp; She followed my gaze.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh that&amp;rsquo;s Seph,&amp;rdquo; She said.&amp;nbsp; I think she said more but all I could do was look at him.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t even bother,&amp;rdquo; Emma stated once she noticed me staring,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;he is a bit of a trouble maker anyhow.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yeah,&amp;rdquo; I said as I followed her down the hallway to our next class.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We walked into our English class and sat down.&amp;nbsp; Not only us, Seph and one of his other friends as well.&amp;nbsp; My sister immediately moved from next to me to next to Emma.&amp;nbsp; I gave her a dirty look, but surely Seph sat down next to me.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He looked really nervous.&amp;nbsp; He glanced at me and then to his friend.&amp;nbsp; They both laughed.&amp;nbsp; How rude.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m Seph,&amp;rdquo; he said so suddenly is startled me.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Hi,&amp;rdquo; I said weakly, shaking the hand he had out for me.&amp;nbsp; Cold.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;This is Nate,&amp;rdquo; he told me pointing next to him.&amp;nbsp; I smiled.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m Melissa.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He smiled back.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;And you are?&amp;rdquo; Nate asked me.&amp;nbsp; I blushed, &amp;ldquo;Alecia,&amp;rdquo; I told him.&amp;nbsp; I could barely breathe, man he was cute.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Cute name,&amp;rdquo; He smiled and turned to face the front when the teacher came in.&amp;nbsp; I exchanged a look with my sister, she mouthed Thank you.&amp;nbsp; I nodded and faced the front as well.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Mr. Turteltaub went on about the importance of grammar, and then gave us a worksheet.&amp;nbsp; I sped through it and watched my sister.&amp;nbsp; Seph was trying to help her with it.&amp;nbsp; Cute really.&amp;nbsp; He almost looked like he was keeping a distance, did she smell bad? Doubtful, I would have noticed.&amp;nbsp; I looked over at Nate and found him looking at me.&amp;nbsp; I blushed and looked away.&amp;nbsp; I couldn&amp;rsquo;t help but notice what beautiful brown eyes he had, almost as if they were glowing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Sadly the class ended and me and my sister headed off to our next which we also had with Seph, and the girl from their group.&amp;nbsp; Mely sat with Seph which left me to sit with her.&amp;nbsp; I was kind of jealous, she was beautiful.&amp;nbsp; I looked at her and she smiled.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m Laila.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I smiled back, &amp;ldquo;Alecia.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;rsquo;m new.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; She laughed,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I kind of guessed, you know your really pretty!&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; That was out of the blue! &amp;ldquo;Umm, thanks?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I said a little unsure.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Haha! Sorry, I just couldn&amp;rsquo;t help but notice.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;rsquo;m not the only one.&amp;rdquo; She giggled and I blushed. I&amp;rsquo;m the pretty one? Ha! When was the last time she looked in the mirror.&amp;nbsp; We sat in silence for a minute or so and I listening to my sister shamelessly flirt with Seph.&amp;nbsp; She did nothing but blush that whole class.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;She said you were pretty?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I asked my sister as we walked towards the cafeteria.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Yeah, it was kind of odd, and she also said she wasn&amp;rsquo;t the only one that thought so?&amp;nbsp; What the heck does that mean?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; She practically yelled.&amp;nbsp; Here we thought this was going to be a bad day, turns out its awesome here.&amp;nbsp; I thought about Seph for a short moment, he was sooo nice.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Well, Leesha its true you are really pretty,&amp;rdquo; I said smiling at her.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Well you are to Mely, we are twins, well fraternal twins.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; She just continued to rant, and truth be told I tuned it out because I knew she was just thinking aloud.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We made our way into the lunch line to buy food, and looked around for a table.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What do you want?&amp;rdquo; Alecia asked me.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Um, oh pizza and veggies?&amp;rdquo; I said a little unsure, and she smiled.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Ok then go get a seat you weirdo that&amp;rsquo;s kind of the point,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I blushed and walked off to pretty much the only empty table left.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I watched as Alecia stood in the line to get our lunchs when someone came over. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia&amp;rsquo;s P.O.V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stood in line and felt someone come stand behind me.&amp;nbsp; I turned around to see it was Nate! He was standing with a tall, spiky-haired boy.&amp;nbsp; Nate smiled,&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Alecia right?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I tried really hard to say something but all that came out was &amp;ldquo;Mhmm,&amp;rdquo; I just couldn&amp;rsquo;t believe how incredibly cute he was, and on top of that his voice sounded like a perfect harmony, gentle and inviting, and he smelled wonderful.&amp;nbsp; I couldn&amp;rsquo;t quite put my finger on it however.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh, I&amp;rsquo;m sorry this is Chase,&amp;rdquo; He told me gesturing towards his friend.&amp;nbsp; I smiled.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;What are your next two classes?&amp;rdquo; I asked trying to say something that was more then just a sound.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh, well I have Math, and then Bio.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; Nate told me.&amp;nbsp; Chase didn&amp;rsquo;t say much he kinda just looked at me with a worried glance.&amp;nbsp; Weird.&amp;nbsp; I bought mine and my sisters lunchs and sat down with her.&amp;nbsp; Nate and Chase following with quite a bit of distance.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh hi Laila,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I waved as I sat down and she smiled.&amp;nbsp; Looking from me to Nate.&amp;nbsp; I shook it off not wanting to think much of it.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I was just telling Melissa here how cool it would be if we hung out this weekend. You know maybe go skating,&amp;rdquo; She told me.&amp;nbsp; I burst out in a fit of laughter and they all looked at me funny.&amp;nbsp; I cleared my throat and collected myself.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;I mean, well my sister and I, are kind of clumsy.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; I said blushing.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Oh that&amp;rsquo;s ok, I can help out,&amp;rdquo; Seph said coming over with another friend.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Ricky,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; He stated sitting next to Melissa.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Sounds good, she said smiling. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="spacer" style="background-color: transparent !important; height: 2px; border-width: initial !important; border-color: initial !important; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;td style="border-width: initial !important; border-color: initial !important; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr style="border-width: initial !important; border-color: initial !important; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;td width="100%" style="border-width: initial !important; border-color: initial !important; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;p class="blogTimeStamp" style="background-color: transparent !important; font-size: smaller; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="blog" style="border-width: initial; border-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255) !important; background-image: none; border-top-width: 1px !important; border-right-width: 1px !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; border-left-width: 1px !important; border-top-color: black !important; border-right-color: black !important; border-bottom-color: black !important; border-left-color: black !important; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; opacity: 0.94 !important; width: 100%; font-size: smaller; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-wrap: break-word; border-top-style: none !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-bottom-style: none !important; border-left-style: none !important; border-width: initial !important; border-color: initial !important; "&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr style="border-width: initial !important; border-color: initial !important; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;td style="border-width: initial !important; border-color: initial !important; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; "&gt;&lt;p class="blogSubject" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: center !important; background-color: rgb(222, 205, 176) !important; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; font-size: smaller; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER CH. 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="blogContent" style="font-size: smaller; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; "&gt;By: Melissa&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia's POV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Hey! That's my foot retard,&amp;quot; Mely whispered to me, right before she returned the gesture and stepped on my foot. &amp;quot;That was so uncalled for,&amp;quot; I said to her, giving her a little shove. &amp;quot;Now look what you did, they must have seen you staring at them and now they're coming over here to tell us off. Way to get people to hate the new kids, sis.&amp;quot; I stopped talking and peeked back at Nate and his friends as they walked closer, they moved so smoothly, almost as if they were gliding over the ground. I felt my heart starting to pick up speed, my sister and me hadn't even been here 2 hours and we were already going to be hated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa's POV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pretended to be texting on my Sidekick cell phone and kept my back turned towards the guys, as they got closer. I looked over at my sister and she was kind of just standing there plying with the change Emma had given back to her, we both must have been spacing out because all of a sudden I heard someone from behind me shout, &amp;quot;Are you guys going to move out of the front of the line some time today?!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Oh I'm sorry,&amp;quot; I said looking back to see a blonde boy standing behind me with a very impatient look spread across his face. &amp;quot;Yeah, whatever could you just move.&amp;quot; I felt my face turn red from embarrassment, along with such an urge to tell him off but I didn't, sometimes my shy-ness got in the way, and when I say sometimes I really mean always. I turned back towards my sister who looked like she was about to say something back to the boy but I said, &amp;quot;Just forget it,&amp;quot; and locked arms with her and turned to walk forward when I bumped into something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alecia's POV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we turned, I guess neither of us had been looking and we ended up crashing into Nate and his friends, or rather Melissa and one of Nate's friends crashed into each other. I almost crashed into Nate, but he and I both stopped before we did, so now we were less than a foot from each other. He was even cuter looking up close than he was from across the room, if that was even possible. &amp;quot;Oh&amp;hellip;I'm sorry&amp;hellip; we didn't see you&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; I said trying not to stare at him. &amp;quot;It's fine,&amp;quot; he said with almost no expression on his face, and then he looked over towards my Mely and his friend. When they had crashed into each other they had knocked Mely's phone out of her head and his iPod out of his. Mely bent down to pick up his iPod and he picked up her phone, &amp;quot;Oh my god, I'm so sorry,&amp;quot; she said handing his iPod back to him, &amp;quot;does it still work?&amp;quot; He gave a little chuckle at my sister and placed one of the black ear buds in and turned it on, &amp;quot;Still works, how about your phone?&amp;quot; he said handing her Sidekick back to her. She flipped it open and started randomly hitting keys, &amp;quot;A little scratched, but yeah it still works. Thanks and you know, sorry again about bumping into you&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; she said, I smiled to myself as I watched her face get even redder than it already was. &amp;quot;Don't worry about,&amp;quot; he said to her, I think he was trying to not laugh at her blushing. I looked back at Nate and the rest of his friends, I don't think they'd even really moved the whole time, they were like statues. &amp;quot;Guys, we have to get to Ricky's house before the thunderstorm starts,&amp;quot; said the girl who was with them, I could only assume that she was Laila. And with one look back at us, they all walked out without a word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa's POV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Holy crap,&amp;quot; Leesha and I said in unison once we saw them walk out the door. We found an empty table with our food, getting stares from everyone as we walked through the caf&amp;eacute;. &amp;quot;OK, I know it's not the first time these people have seen a cluts bump into someone before, so there's really no reason to be staring at us.&amp;quot; I said to my sister, as I sat feeling awkward. &amp;quot;They've just never seen clutses as big as us before, that's all,&amp;quot; Alecia laughed as she nudged my elbow with hers. I had to laugh too, she was right. &amp;quot;So let's do a recount, so far we have Emma who is possible friend material, that blonde dude he seems to hate us for our lack of moving, and Nate and the rest of his friends who think we're complete losers&amp;hellip;Oh I can't wait for school tomorrow.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="blogContentInfo" style="font-size: smaller;

gloomy, dark, and clearly about to rain.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; For the last month we have driven from our old home in New Hampshire to British Columbia, Canada.&amp;nbsp; A beautiful place I'll give you that, but it didn't quite feel like home yet.&amp;nbsp; I looked over at my sister Melissa, she too was staring out the window.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;What?&amp;quot; She asked when she caught me looking at her. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Of course she was, she always was.&amp;nbsp; I turned my head just to see that we were passing a sign that said Welcome to Walnut Grove.&amp;nbsp; Strange name&amp;hellip; but its cute, I like it.&amp;nbsp; I read all of the buildings and road signs as we drive to our new house.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;I guess that's the community centre,&amp;quot; my dad said nodding towards a large, pale blue-grey structure, &amp;quot;maybe you two can walk up and check it out after we get to the house.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Sure,&amp;quot; I smiled.&amp;nbsp; We drive for another two minutes before my mother turned around and said. &amp;quot;Well you guys we're here,&amp;quot; I could tell she didn't want to leave all of our family in New Hampshire, just like Melissa and I didn't want to leave our friends.&amp;nbsp; I guess all that matters is that I still have my best friend, Melissa.&amp;nbsp; She smiled and grabbed my hand.&amp;nbsp; Creepy really, how we could almost read each others minds.&amp;nbsp; Almost like magic.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; My sister and I exchanged a looks,&amp;nbsp; ran into the house and up the stairs. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "&gt;We looked in all of the rooms of our new home.&amp;nbsp; And by new, I mean new, this place is beautiful.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Mely, look at this room,&amp;quot; I said waving her over.&amp;nbsp; It was painted a darker shade of pink, with white trim and a window sill bench.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Shawty!&amp;quot; She yelled running inside and throwing her bags down.&amp;nbsp; I laughed and went down the hall to find the same style room but in a darker colour.&amp;nbsp; Both rooms had doors to a split bathroom. &amp;quot;Perfect I whispered to myself. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "&gt;Melissa's P.O.V&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "&gt;I watched as the movers put our furniture and box's into all of the rooms of our new house.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;The white iron bed goes in here,&amp;quot; I told one of them.&amp;nbsp; Alecia and I had similar furniture except hers was black, while mine is white.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;You ready to go check this place out,&amp;quot; I called to my sister who was unpacking things in the bathroom.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Yeah,&amp;quot; She smiled fixing up her hair a little bit.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Together we went down the stairs, most of the house was already unpacked thanks to the movers.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Where are you lovely ladies off to?&amp;quot; My mom said.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;I don't know, going to check things out I guess,&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; I said.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Ok but be back soon, you guys have school in the morning.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; I laughed and pulled my sister out the door.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;We will.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; I called as I just the door.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "&gt;&amp;quot;So what exactly is there to do around here?&amp;quot; Alecia said looking around.&amp;nbsp; I pointed to the building dad was talking about earlier &amp;quot;I assume that's where some teens our age will me.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; She nodded and the two of us started off towards the front doors.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;We could get a bite to eat,&amp;quot; I suggested. We both noticed the little food court.&amp;nbsp; She giggled and pulled her wallet out of her purse.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; While standing in line I looked over at a group of people sitting at a table talking.&amp;nbsp; I couldn't help but stare, their was just something about them that seemed off.&amp;nbsp; Not to mention the defiantly stood out.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I looked at my sister who too had noticed them. &amp;quot;Oh my gosh,&amp;quot; she whispered.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;What?&amp;quot; I asked following her gaze.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Oh, they had noticed our staring.&amp;nbsp; We both quickly spun around. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "&gt;Alecia's P.O.V&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "&gt;&amp;quot;What can I get for you?&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; The girl at the counter asked breaking the silence.&amp;nbsp; She was cute, about the same height as me with wavy brown hair.&amp;nbsp; She has a line of freckles on her nose and under her eyes.&amp;nbsp; I smiled.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Um, how about a small hot chocolate and one of those cinnamon buns,&amp;quot; I said pointing to them.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Sure,&amp;quot; she said moving on to take my sisters order.&amp;nbsp; I turned around again and looked at the group of teens to see that one, was staring back. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "&gt;&amp;quot;That's Nate,&amp;quot; The girl at the counter told me.&amp;nbsp; I turned around, &amp;quot;What?&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Nate&amp;nbsp; and his friends Ricky, Seph, Laila, and Chase.&amp;quot; I mumbled.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;I am Emma by the way, are you two new?&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Yeah, I'm Alecia and this is my sister Melissa.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; I told her a bit flustered.&amp;nbsp; She laughed.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Yeah they are good looking, but off limits they only really talk to each other.&amp;nbsp; Some people think they are shy while others just think they are stuck up.&amp;nbsp; Personally I don't think either, they seem nice, but they couldn't possibly be shy.&amp;nbsp; I mean they have been here forever.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; she went on explaining as she made the food my sister and I had ordered.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Hmm,&amp;quot; I said as she handed me my cinnamon bun.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Emma!&amp;quot; someone yelled.&amp;nbsp; She frowned.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;I best be going, I guess I will see you two at school tomorrow?&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; I smiled.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Guess so.&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; " /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "&gt;I spun around to look at my sister.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Mely stop staring!&amp;quot; I said lightly stepping on her foot to get her attention, having no free hands.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She blushed.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;I can't help it,&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; she said as she sat down at a small table.&amp;nbsp; I could still see Nate in my line of vision, he looked over and slowly got up, his friends followed.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Crap,&amp;quot; I said looking down,&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;I think they are coming over here.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; I said as me and my sister tried to look casual.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</content>

Haha i didn't tell you; today Recycled percussion is coming to my high school to do a concert and they're recording a live DVD here, Hehe I find it wicked intense. &amp;nbsp;A lot of people at my school, including a lot of my friends, are acting wicked lame about it though, they're leaving when the concert and stuff is suppose to start. Seriously?? Come on, that's just being a party-pooper. &amp;nbsp;Some people are like, &amp;quot;It's a lame band, blahhhh,&amp;quot; WRONG!! And others are like, &amp;quot;There's going to be a mosh-pit and it'll be all crazy*tear*.&amp;quot; SO WHAT?? Mosh-pits are sooooo much fun:D Plus, one the bleachers are going to be out so you don't HAVE to be in the mosh-pit if you don't want and two, hello the teachers will be there and i highly doubt they'll let it get into a full out mosh. &amp;nbsp;Seriously now guys, way to be.&lt;br /&gt;Soooo, yup. Oh and later to night I'm going to go see Paul Ramsey who is this insanely talented hypnotist. &amp;nbsp;I saw him last year when he came to town and it's a wicked funny show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in all honesty, I'm not really in a good mood, I haven't been in a good mood since monday. &amp;nbsp;I don't know why, like I've been wicked happy lately and then I was on the phone with someone Monday night and they like...I don't even know. &amp;nbsp;we didn't get into a fight or anything, I don't know, I can't put my finger on it. &amp;nbsp;Our conversation just made me wicked upset and i've been bummed ever since. &amp;nbsp;The only person who knows the whole story is my friend Ana who let me vent to her the next morning before school started. &amp;nbsp;And she's the only one who will ever know; normally I just cave and tell my friends when something bothers me, but I can't this time, I honestly can't. &amp;nbsp;Well, I shouldn't say she's the only one who know, of course the person who i was talking to knows, but they're so naive and self-involved and oblivious to MY feelings all the time they never even realized it bothered me. &amp;nbsp;We've talked since then and I haven't made an attempt to get on into the convo. like I normally do and I've stopped laughing when they talk and stuff, and yet nothing, they haven't even notice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But whateverrrrrrrr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Melyssa~</content>

    <content type="html">For some reason...not really gonna go into detail as to why, but I couldn't sleep last night at all. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;And I decided that since I was already up I'd do something productive so I went and grabbed my writing journal and started scribbling stuff down....&lt;br /&gt;I think they're poems, haha I'm not sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Vanish-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you do when the thing that use to be you world vanishes??&lt;br /&gt;Where do you do when the hand that was leading you from the dark finally lets go??&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;How do you fall asleep when the voice that was your lullaby is silenced??&lt;br /&gt;When the hope has slipped out of his eyes, what's really staring back at you??&lt;br /&gt;Why do we fight to hold on to things that weren't really there??&lt;br /&gt;Who will be left to care now that I've stopped??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-You're Not You-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never knew saying yes back would have led me to this&lt;br /&gt;It started quick and ended slow&lt;br /&gt;I saw the end before you ever could have, I just didn't imagine it would be like this&lt;br /&gt;For every forever I knew would never be&lt;br /&gt;When our silence couldn't have ment more&lt;br /&gt;You wondered about me&lt;br /&gt;I was scared of you&lt;br /&gt;There were times when my heart would beat like it never had&lt;br /&gt;Old fears were brought back to life and realized&lt;br /&gt;I didn't want to say this was my fault but there was no one else&lt;br /&gt;I wish the rain would pour down and wash away these scars&lt;br /&gt;This isn't the person I thought I knew&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Middle-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't ever ask to know&lt;br /&gt;So why did you tell me??&lt;br /&gt;I'll laugh to hide this side of me&lt;br /&gt;The side that no one knows&lt;br /&gt;My keepsake I hope never shows&lt;br /&gt;I know you didn't think before you spoke&lt;br /&gt;Neither did she&lt;br /&gt;You've placed me in the middle&lt;br /&gt;When did I ever say that's where I wanted to be??&amp;nbsp;</content>
