Val POV

The drive to my aunt house was silent. She asks if I needed anything and I told her no. When we pull into the driveway, I saw a man and kids playing in the yard.

"Were home" she chirped "come-on I want to introduce you to the family" I nodded my head and step out the truck.

As my aunt came and hug me, she said, "don't be scared." I guess she could see that I was nervous because I was fidgeting with my fingers.

A little boy with short blond hair and brown eyes walked up to me and hug my leg.

He said, "are you my new sister" I look at my aunt and she said "this is my youngest son Walter" I unwrap his small arms around my legs and I bent over and said "Hi Walter my name is Val. How old are you" "Four" I smiled and rub his head and said "yes I am your new sister," I said with a small smile and he chuckled and hug me. My mother only had me. I always wonder what it would be like to have other siblings since I have none

There was four other children that came to me and a man. I'm assuming is her husband. He had short blond hair and a very muscular frame. He was like 6ft 2in and towered over my 5ft 4in frame. He had a round face tan skin, blue eyes and I notice a lot of scratch marks on his arm but still very handsome. She introduced me to him first and said his name was Shawn. I put my hand out to shake his but instead he grab me into a big hug instead. I gasped as I was surprised at his response. I smiled shyly and he said "you are a part of the family now." "Okay"

Then there was Josh and Sarah the oldest. They were 16-year-old twins. Same age as me. She had long blond hair with brown eyes, average with curves that could move a mountain. Compared to me she put me to shame! Her twin brother Josh had reddish brown hair blue eyes, he was tall and when he shook my hand, I could see his muscles flex through his shirt. He was not as big as his father, but he still was taller than me. Then there was Branden and he had brown hair and brown eyes. He was 14. Then there was Charlotte she looks just like her mother with red hair and freckles in her face. She was 8.

After I had met everyone, we went into the house and Sarah gave me a tour first. It was huge! You could tell they had money. She then showed me where I was staying. I had a room to myself. My bags was already in my room. I guess one of the guys brought it in. Sarah gave me privacy as I unpack my clothes. She was very kind to me I could tell we were going to be good friends.

Later I walk down the stair I didn't know if they were going to ask questions about my mom and me. Everyone was nice and friendly to me. In the end, they didn't ask me nothing about my mom. I think they knew it was a touchy subject for me and I was glad they did because I was not ready to talk to them about it.

The weekend went by fast and now it Monday first day of school.

First day of School

My aunt had already taken care of my transfer, she even had my schedule ready for me at the house. The alarm went off at 6:30 I knew school didn't start until 8:00 but with all these people in the house I wanted to make sure I got dibs to the bathroom. I walked to the bathroom and did my morning routine.

I decided to wear some light blue skinny jeans with a loose fitting white blouse that covered my bottom and some white flats. I don't like attention.

I went downstairs and ate a bowl of cereal it was just my and aunt in the kitchen

she asks " how do you feel about your first day of school" raised her eyebrows

"Can't wait" with no emotion in my face. I didn't want to be here let alone go to another school. But I'll do it for my mom. Thinking to myself.

Everyone else came downstairs didn't really have time to eat as we headed for the door.

We all rode to school together. Josh drop off his sister and brother at their schools and know we are parking at the high school.

"We have our first and third period together and you have second, lunch and fifth period with Josh" Sarah said getting out of the car.

"I am glad I know someone in this school. I thought I was going to be alone because I did not know anyone." I said

"You will make other friends as well I'm sure of it" she chirped. She was a chipper girl compared to me being reserved.

As we walk to the school I kept getting stared at I know I am the new girl but damn did they have to make it so obvious. I kept a straight face not caring what others thought about me. I have been through too much to care.

Sarah walks me to the office so I could get a slip so all my teachers could sign to make sure I made it to all my classes.

I went to my locker and put some of my extra books in. Josh caught up with us.

"If you have any trouble let me know and I'll put them in their place." He said wrapping his arm around me with a stern face.

"Well, it's nice to feel protected" I smile. "But why would I need protection" They all averted their eyes. They all had faces that said I can't tell you. Then I said, "I am a big girl I can handle myself" they look at me and started nodding their heads. I thought to myself. Why would I need protection is this a part of the puzzles I'm trying to figure out.

Another girl walks to Sarah she hugged her and said "missed you this weekend. "me too" Sarah said. She looks at me with a skeptical look. Who is this?"

"This is my cousin I was telling you about that will be living with us."

I thought I heard her say. "How she human do she know what you are"

"Shh Carla she doesn't know we haven't told her anything yet."

I'm assuming they thought I did not hear it so I just smile. "Hi, my name is Val Miller". "Carla Thomas" as she shakes my hand with a skeptical smile. I wonder is this part of what my mom was keeping from me I thought again.

The bell rang and we all had the same class together English.

"Val there something you should know," she said

"You need to watch out for Odious Tatum he will not have any mercy on you even though you are," she said.

She stop talking. "Are what?" I said

"You"

"What that's supposed to mean".

"Just be cautious not to bump into him or anything."

"OK it that serious" I look at her with eyes furrowed.

"Yeah believe me it is" with her eye wide.
