"Shit" I hissed as I pulled my hand away from the flame

"Eve what did i tell you about going to close to the fire" said my mom looking up from the magazine she was reading

"Well sorry, maybe next time the fire shouldn't be so close to me" I said

"Really Eve" said my sister Chloe giving me a flat look

"What" I asked, I didn't do anything wrong

"Just go back to roasting your marshmallow" said my dad trying to stop the argument that would come

"I will" I said sticking my stick with the marshmallow on it back into the fire

I looked up at the sky fascinated by all the stars in the sky, there were millions even billions. I could watch them forever

"Uh Eve" said Chloe pulling me out of my daze

"Hmm" I mummer still looking at the stars

"Eve" she said again but louder

"What" I hissed looking at her, she ruined my star gazing time

"Your Marshmallow" she said giggling

"Huh" I said before focusing on my marshmallow which was currently being engulfed in flames that quickly spread to the stick

"F*ck" I hissed blowing onto my marshmallow only for the flames to grow

"No swearing" yelled my mom, really..... fine don't worry about your daughter who's about to be burned to a crisp worry about her language..... Priorities people

The flames grew more along the stick getting close to my hand thinking quick, I threw my stick to the floor before stomping on it taking out the fire, by this time Chloe was on the floor bursting with laughter

"Honey what are you doing" asked my dad staring at me bewildered

"Oh just chilling" I said stepping on the remnants of marshmallow and stick that were in the grass, trying to hide it out of my fathers sight

"Eve" he said looking me once over

"All is good, you know what how about we go inside" I said rushing my words and before anyone could oblige I grabbed them by the hand and pulled them inside

"Anthony please take care of the fire" said Chloe and Anthony nodded before going outside

He was our Bodyguard but Chloe seemed really close with him, they had a special bond

"Eve we've been meaning to talk with you" said my parents making me take a seat on the couch

"Whatever it is I didn't do it" I said raising my hands out in surrender

"So that old fish I found in my pillow wasn't you" asked Chloe raising an eyebrow

"Nope" I said giving her a cheeky smile

"Sure, anyway mom dad, continue" she said not believing me and motioned for my parents to continue what they were saying

"As you know you've been asking to go to public school for a while and we think that you may be ready" said my mom and I jumped out of my seat in excitement

"Woah" I screamed dancing around the room

"But" said my dad cutting me off of my celebration

"No buts" I said cutting him off and continued to dance

"Eve sit" said my sister and I sadly sunk into my seat knowing this wasn't going to be good

"There will be some rules, 1) you have to wear a wig to help hide your identity" said my dad
