As I walked out of my homeroom, I tried to avoid everyone like the plague. Every year for 7 years straight people tried to "comfort" me, but all they did was remind me how I wasn't and still not good enough to find them.

"Hey, Celine," Jean exclaimed happily. I stopped and smiled. "Hi!" I replied feeling butterflies in my stomach. Even though we have been dating for 6 years, I still feel the same butterflies I felt all those years ago.

We have been dating since the ages of 8 and 9. Just one year after the "incident". Now I'm 14 and Jean's 15, he's also a grade ahead of me but that never was a problem for us.

"So are you free tonight, if not that's ok." He asked with a blushed face. "Tonight?" I questioned. "Yeah, it's—" He began. "Sorry, I don't know if Red will want that..... this year" I interrupted with a frown.

"Can I still walk you home?" He asked, stopping at our school's entrance. "Only if you insist" I replied with a smirk.

My name is Celine Rivers. The younger sister of Kelper Rivers. I had a twin sister who shared my eyes. Her left eye was brown, and her right eye blue, while I had the opposite. I have bright orange puffy hair, while she had straight silky brown hair like our mother. I also had a little brother his name was Mio, he had black hair like our father.

I miss them so much. Even though Kel isn't missing, it sure feels like it. He was the best brother I could ever deserve, But now he's too busy to even call! But it's fine, I guess.

Jean is the complete opposite of me. He has dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, and tanned skin. He even has siblings who aren't missing; which consist of a sister that's present, and 2 pretty twin girls. Kinda like how me and my sister were.

"Here's your stop," Jean exclaimed, snapping me out of my thoughts. I hugged him "Thanks" I muttered, then he hugged me back.

As I walked inside I was met with darkness, and I HATE THE DARK. "Hello?" I whispered.

"..." I was met with silence; Dead silence.

Then I turned on the lights, feeling spooked out. I put my shoes and sweater away in the closet.

This was weird Red was always home early on Fridays, so he could get to his online classes and today is special. I hope he didn't give up on me too.

I walked to the kitchen to grab a snack, and when was about to open the fridge I noticed a note hanging on the door. It read:

"Celine, I'm sorry that today I'll be a little late. Work called me in for later hours today. Don't worry I invited someone over to keep you company.
-- Red✰"

I took the note and stuffed it into my pocket. "I'm happy he didn't leave," I muttered grabbing a muffin. A little voice popped into my head saying "You can't eat anymore." I didn't care so I took a big bite.
"Little voices can't faze me!" I yelled back with a full mouth.

Just as I was about to say something else the door rang. I swallowed whatever pride I had left and went to open the door.

After I saw "him" my jaw dropped . "How are you here?! Don't we have restraining orders on each other?" I asked feeling suspicious of "his" appearance.

"Since when did you follow the law?" "He," asked coming in. "Good point," I replied closing the door.
