Nyctophilia

Pluviophile

I stripped of my super suit and hid it in my back pack, quickly putting on a comfortable sweatshirt and shorts. I teleported into the attic and hid the suitcase under a ton of cardboard along with the man's phone, before teleporting back. My mask in my drawer, I before stretched and walked towards the window. It was still raining, slightly heavier than before. I opened the window a little, inhaling the damp, cold air smiling before shutting it. I climbed into bed and took a short nap. 

It seemed only seconds before I woke up to yelling,"Atlanta! Get up! Breakfast is ready by you fav sibling!"

"There's no way that your her favorite sibling! Your completely worthless! I on the other hand am absolutely marvelous!"

I smiled, getting up and making my way down stairs into the kitchen. The room was filled with grey light. My older sister's lithe figure, Etain,  was sitting on one of the counters, her pale legs crossed defiantly, her blue eyes glinting playfully. Her arm were to her side, her long wavy purple hair tumbling over her shoulders, she smiled at me. 

At the opposite counter stood my brother Evander placing waffles on plates. His black-brown tousled hair seemed to be sticking out of every direction. And his coppery skin was covered with a thin hoodie

Both of them were twins, even though they didn't look anything alike. Sure both of them were tall, lithe, and had the same eyes, but you'd never guess that if you saw them together somewhere.

Evander placed a plate in front of me,"Eat up! You got school in about an hour."he said in his all american accent, smiling as he messed up my ponytail.

"Oh, lay off Evander! She knows what she's doing? Aren't I right Ana?" Etain said in her airy British accent, shooting a look at her twin.

Evander frowned rolling his eyes before smirking,"Whatever. I'm just saying, at least I'm not a overdressed penguin with a snotty accent, and cotton in my hair." his grin widening at Etain's confused expression,"I'll be upstairs in my room." he said skipping of.

"You better! and clean up that dungeon will you, its littered with nuts and bolts and .... cotton?!,"she said staring in horror at the lump on her head," I have another problem to deal with anyways! Me and Adriana! You're looking awful! Just look at your hair!", she said pointing to my mussed up pony,"You, darling , need serious help! I'll give you the perfect clothes and I'll do you hair in a up-do, no, to formal, loose! but that's messy, in a pony? Too simple......"

I droned out the rest of the inquiries as she circled around me, murmuring to herself. Then she shot up,"I know! Casual yet simple and good looking. Loose hair in delicate waves, perfect!"

If you hadn't noticed, Etain's a real fashion freak... she's taking a degree in fashion and stuff.

After I got ready in a t-shirt, skinny jeans and a hoodie around my waist, plus my bag, I headed out the door smiling. It wasn't raining anymore but it was still wet and smelt like petrichor.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

My high school was about half a kilometer away, and I leave really early so I can avoid the crowd when I get there. 

I lived in the not-so-good part of town. Like most super invested cities, lots of rich people live in the city, whole buildings belonging to them while the poor live outside the city, in average neighborhoods or worse. It was terrible, yet it was a great way to get what us poor people need want without us paying for it. 

But there is one thing that differentiates this city from any others, it was a total plutocracy.  

After my mum and dad died 2 years ago in that accident, it was pretty harsh.  Since Etain and Evander were 19, they were old enough to look after each other, but it took the court tons of convincing to let me stay with them, even though I was just 4 years younger than them. Mum and dad left quite a lot of money, but not enough for all of us to pass college, luckily the court gave us all enough money for at least both Etain or Evander to pass college, I, on the other hand had to go to public school and was planning on getting a scholarship, or if I can't, Use a bit of loaned money. If your doing the math, you probably know that, I'm 17 and that we'll probably be in a ton of dept sooner or later.

The money that I stole today was supposed to pay it all off... and help one of my neighbors. 

As I climbed up the deserted steps of Enderson High, I saw a little flash in the corner of my eyes. Peering at it I noticed the it was a sharp piece of metal, knelling down I took the shard into my hands, and quickly shoved it into my pockets.
