(Picture of North point academy) Hina turned to the side, she was feeling pretty hot and she could literally see and feel the sun rays frying her skin, she frowned she was pretty sure she closed the curtains. Finally after five minutes of procrastination she sat up and stretched she swung her feet out of bed and sluggishly padded into her bathroom, she stared at her reflection in the mirror mouth agape "Shit!! I'm glowing!!" She yelled, "Hina is everything alright?" Sara called from downstairs "peachy" Hina replied as she stared at her hands in awe they were glowing like mini suns, she waved them in front of her face they were still glowing, "Hina! Reese !hurry up school starts in thirty five minutes!" Sara yelled as Hina hurriedly grabbed her toothbrush which melted in her grasp "crap!" She muttered as she grabbed the mouth wash liquid took a huge swig and sloshed it around her mouth, she hopped into the shower and immediately the hot water hit her skin steam rose, she rushed out of the shower drying her hair and skin luckily she wasn't glowing anymore, as she slipped into her white flap collared shirt, burgundy, black and orange plaid pinafore dress, burgundy and black plaid ribbon tied in a bow, she had added a little extra touch to her school uniform she pinned gold and pink tiny brooches on her ribbon and a pink flower brooch on the side of her pinafore, she pulled up her multicolored socks and wore her black flats then stuffed her swords (well she tried to) the hilt stick out from the bag, she raced downstairs were a plate of oatmeal awaited.
Reese woke up feeling like crap, he had a horrible nightmare but he couldn't remember what it was. He groaned flopping back on his bed, he stared at his ceiling as shadows suddenly began to appear swirling like dark matter, weaving in and out of each other Reese let out a not so manly scream as he rolled off his bed "Reese are you okay?!" Sara called from downstairs "never been better" he replied as he got up and made his way to his bathroom, he brushed his teeth, took a quick shower and slipped into his school uniform a white collared button down shirt with  a burgundy waist coat an a matching sweater, burgundy and black plaid tie with matching trousers and converse he grabbed his bag and made his way to his door he stopped in front of it and stared as black shadows danced across the well polished harwood door he stretched out his hand to touch it and he blacked out immediately. Reese opened his eyes and he was sprawled out of the floor just in front of the kitchen "do you always do this?" Hina asked squatting down to his eye level "no, no I don't" Reese replied as he stood up. "Breakfast has been ready ages ago" said Sara as she took off her apron "I'm heading to work so eat up and go to school" she said as she grabbed her keys and left the house, Hina and Reese ate in silence "hey Reese" said Hina "yeah" Reese replied "did anything weird happen to you?" She asked, Reese frowned remembering this morning, "how weird?" He asked "like waking up glowing and melting your toothbrush weird" she replied Reese frowned "so you woke up glowing and you melted your toothbrush" he said Hina nodded "well that didn't happen to me but this morning I saw some shadows on my door and when I touched them and I blacked out and woke up on the kitchen floor" said Reese "what do you think is happening?" Hina asked "puberty" Reese shrugged as he rinsed off his plate Hina doing the same "are you seriously taking the swords?" Reese asked as they entered his car, Hina nodded "uh-huh, I'm a samurai I always travel with my swords" she said as Reese sighed.
Adrian woke up early as usual, brushed his teeth, took a shower, dressed up his school uniform (minus the blazer), combed his hair, grabbed his bag and padded into the kitchen. He took out the pan, poured some oil in it, brought out some eggs and vegetables, then put three slices of bread in the toaster. He was frying his omelette, flipping the egg gripping the handle of the frying pan when his hand burst into flames "Shit!" He yelled as the pan caught fire, "crap, crap, crap" he muttered as the fire alarms blared and water sprinklers activated spraying him with water the fire however seemed to burn brighter the red flames taking an azure tint, by now the pan had melted and the fire was rapidly spreading engulfing the gas cooker in flames, the fire alarm was going berserk, the sprinklers were literally dousing him with water as he flapped his hands desperately trying to put out the flames, his mother rushed into the kitchen his sisters behind her as she grabbed the fire extinguisher and sprayed it all over the gas and Adriàn, finally putting out the fire, "Adriàn are you okay?" She said grabbing his face and tilting it from side to side "yeah mom I'm fine" he replied as she stepped around him to survey the damage "I'm sorry about the gas cooker" he said, "don't worry about that I'm just glad you're alright" she said as the doorb rang "great, I've got to change and Reese is here" he muttered as he padded back into his room to change.
"Hey Hina" said Adriàn as he entered the car, Hina grinned at him "hey Adriàn" she said sipping her hot chocolate, as he turned to Reese who handed him his cup of cappachino, "hey Reese can we stop at that doughnut shop" he said, Reese frowned taking a huge gulp of coffee "why?" He asked "I burnt my omelette" I replied, "like literally, it was weird my hand was on fire and the pan caught fire" he said "what about the fire alarm and sprinklers?" Reese asked "they went off but the fire didn't, it spread to the gas cooker, my mom had to use the fire extinguisher" said Adriàn, "so what happened to your hand? Shouldn't you have burns?" Hina asked, as Adriàn stared at his hands. No burns. In fact he never realized that his hand never hurt even though it was on fire "shit" he muttered.
Kimberly felt weird. Well weirder than usual. She felt more sensitive for instance this morning her alarm nearly deafened her it was like sirens blaring in her skull it took a few minutes for her to recover
It was awful and now as she stood at the top of the steps she could smell he mom's perfume, her dad's black coffee and oatmeal the combined scents made her feel dizzy  she ran downstairs clinging to the railings as she entered the kitchen, mom was on her phone and dad was reading the newspaper, written in bold on the front page was 'The Mysterious Deaths of Anna Beck , Sand Woods and Emily Brit,  although Kimberly took a quick picture wincing at the camera's bright light, she recognized Sandra Woods and Anna Beck as the captain and co captain of the girls track team as she instantly sent the picture to the group-chat, she bit into her toast just as her father dropped his newspaper "are you ready to go back to school?" He asked as he grabbed his car keys , Kimberly replied with a nod.
Haylee woke up early as usual. Well earlier than most students to go work out in the gym with her dad their usual 'daughter-father-bonding activity'. She slipped her fruit smoothie  as her dad gulped down his cucumber water they finished their drinks and wiped off their sweat with their towels "we're hitting the bars" sai her dad referring to the pull up bars "right, daddy-o" she said, her dad stared at her "never saying that again, got it" she said as her dad chuckled, they grabbed the pull up bars and started their 'twenty-pullup routine ', "I'm going to check on my client, you okay staying alone?"  Her dad asked, Haylee nodded "yeah, I"ll just chill out here" she replied as her dad's left. "Hey, Lee" said Daisy her dad's assistant that Haylee had been trying to hook her dad up with "hey Daisy what's up?" She said "I came to give you a treat" she said placing a carton of creamy doughnuts on the bench next to her smoothie "thanks Daisy" said Haylee as she hugged the lady "you're welcome" said Daisy as she left. Haylee decided to work with some dumbbells she was lifting the second dumbbell when the metal started to metal huge flops landing on the floor, Haylee screamed dropping the dumbbells, everyone turned to look at her as her father ran to herhe scanned her from j head to toe searching for any injuries "what happened?" He asked "nothing, I-I just need to cool down o guess" she said as she padded to the showers. She took a long shower washing off her sweat then she changed into her school uniform, she glanced at herself in the mirror, as she brushed her hair, she gasped as her brush melted in her grasp, she dropped the brush or what was left of it seeing as half of it was now ash, she stared at her hands the lines on her palms glowed and throbbed a weird bronze-red color like molten lava, she blinked rapidly as her hands returned back to normal, she frowned but deciding not to dwell to much on it she grabbed her bag and marched out of the gym and to the parking lot were Kimberly's dad's car was parked.
Ava woke up dancing into her bedroom, the routine was now firmly engraved in her mind as she took a shower, brushed her teeth and wore her school uniform dancing and singing all the while. She padded into the kitchen, her mom had already left for work leaving her to take care of her breakfast, she opened the cupboard reaching up on her tip-toes to grab the cereal box her fingers grazed over it and it tumbled out of the cupboard she made a mad dash to grab it up the cereal box hovered inches above the ground, Ava held back a scream as her eyes searched wildly for any sign of ghosts, she gingerly picked the box and poured herself some cereal and milk, eating breakfast in silence. When she was done she grabbed her bag and left the house.
