A tale in the brains.

Chapter 3.

I wake up with a stretch, hitting stop on my alarm as I got up. As always, the time I take to get ready is about... 1-2 hours, which is why I need to wake up early. I can't afford to be late, not if I wanna earn the teacher's hearts.

I tread down the staircase, greeted cheerfully by Daisy and My mom, who of course gives me my favorite ham and cheese sandwich to-go. I was halfway through the door when Zane stops me. "What?" I ask, munching on my sandwich.

"Well, as my sister, you are getting dropped off by me. In my car. So my friends know who you are, and you know— the rest of the school basically." he smirks. Zane was always very straightforward when it came to these type of things. But right now, i'm very happy about it.

"Well then, I do need popularity so—" I skid to my brother's car which is a very nice one. Though it's not like I remember the name if the brand or anything, i'm pretty stupid when it came those. I open the door to the front and wait for my brother.

Once we got out of the car, which was parked directly in front of the school.

I was walking alongside Zane when a group of boys waved to us to, what I assume, is to join them. "Hey, Daniel! Get over here!" One of them yelled.

"Hey guys." Zane greeted them with a smile. "This is my little sister, the one I told you guys about. Dhanzielle." he grinned.

"Hi." I smiled awkwardly. I never met Zane's friends before. He was never really comfortable enough with them to fully meet me, just brother things I guess.

"Oh! So this is the lovely girl— youch!" He was cut short when Zane jabbed him in the side. "What was that about Daniel?" He asked as he rubbed his side.

"Just a warning." Zane replies with a glare.

"Well, Dhanzielle was it? I'm Zeke, your older brother's handsome friend." He winked, only then am I paying actual attention to Zeke's appearance. He had brown hair with brown-green eyes. Which kind of clashes with Zane and mine's dark ginger hair and blue eyes.

"Oh- well, nice to meet you." I speak tentatively.

"Well, Zy, these are my friends." Zane smiles yet he still wears a weird look on his face.

"Uhm..." I mutter awkwardly staring at the other two who seem to be deep in conversation next to Zeke. "Oh, this is Leo and Pat." Zane tells me.

"Oh, hey— wait, is this Dhanzielle?" The guy who was previously speaking asks. He had blonde hair and grey-blue eyes. "I'm Leo." he smiles. The other guy who Leo was talking to paused to look at me too.

"Dhanzielle? Oh, Dhanzielle! I'm Pat, nice to finally meet you." he had black hair and emerald green eyes. My brother's whole friend group was just colors all around the place.

Not sure what to say I just raise my hand in some pathetic attempt at a wave.

Leo and Pat return to their what I assume is an important conversation while Zeke just stared at me. "Do you need something?" I snap before I can get a hold of myself.

"Well, feisty huh." he chuckles, while Zane is staring at Zeke weirdly.

"Well, um... I'm just gonna go, I was gonna meet some friends." which although was an excuse, was very true. I needed to tell Carmilla what my plans were.
