Valerie's P.O.V.

I looked at my father and this man and his family. Apparently his name is Mitchell and his wife's name is Sabrina. His wife's dress: long and flowy, was mint green to match his tie. The two daughters looked about my age, but their faces were caked with makeup. Greeeeaaat. I thought sarcastically.

They actually look pretty but the makeup hides all of their true beauty. One looked like she was in the grade above me and the other looked like she was in my same grade. The older one had on a sky blue bouffant dress with silver sparkles on the waistline. Her blond hair was in a french twist with a silver crystal barrette on the edge of it and she had on a diamond necklace. The younger one was wearing a robin's egg blue tiered dress with silver sparkles scattered over the top half of her dress. She had her hair down in loose blonde curls and she had a silver locket around her neck. I had spent so much of my attention looking at the daughters that I didn't realize that a conversation had started.

"Yes, actually. Both Aidan and Valerie are going to King Academy for high school next year." my father responded stiffly. "Really? So are Kate and Amber. Kate is going to be a sophomore and Amber will be a freshman." Mitchell voiced as if he hadn't a care in the world and that my father wasn't acting strange or cold towards him. The conversation kept on going with my parents acting oddly towards this family. Soon enough, we said awkward goodbyes and walked away.

"Mom, who was that?" Aidan said with a puzzled and confused look on his face. Before my mom could answer, my dad spoke up "That was Mitchell and Sabrina Skye and their two daughters. Also known as... my stepbrother and his family." "What? You never told us this! We have an uncle?" I exclaimed. "STEP uncle. Mitchell is not good news. I don't know about his daughters, but Mitchell and Sabrina tried to take down our company 5 years ago. They act nice, but they aren't. Ever since the early 2000s they have been devising different plans to take down our company or take it over for our money!" my dad cried in rage. "But dad, how did you know of all this?" Aidan questioned. My dad sent a tired look to my mother and she lowered her head and finished the story.

"Your father's best friend snuck into the Skye's headquarter's. He didn't tell me or your father because he knew we would keep him from going. He-" she started to get sad and tear up but we all wrapped our arms around her and dad while she finished the story. "-He snuck into the Skye's headquarters, found a uniform, and got information with a small crew who came with him. They stole all the blueprints and plans, and they almost made it out of the premises. When they got to the edge of the headquarters, there was an attack. They had been found out and were attacked. Only one man made it back. Your father's best friend, Alexander Martin Jr., was killed along with 3 other men: Ralph, George, and Carson. Alexander was a great man, and a great brother." at this, my mother let a single tear go down her face. We all comforted her and said things like "mom, we're so sorry" or "that must've been so hard for you."

After our family moment, we walked over to some familiar looking guests, but I couldn't quite figure out where I'd seen them. There was a man and what seemed to be his wife and and daughter and a son. Basically the same family structure as mine. The man had on a midnight blue suit with a white tie, and his wife (who was REALLY pretty, by the way) had on a cobalt blue BodyCon dress with a light, sapphire colored shawl. The daughter had an ombré empire waist dress that went from white to dark blue in shimmering sparkle dust, and her brother had on a persian blue suit with a white tie, just like his father.

"Valerie, Aidan, you remember the Knight family, right?" my dad asked us, gesturing at the guests. As I looked at each of them, I recognized the girl from some modeling shoots and pageants. "Brooke?" I asked. "OMG! HI Valerie! Happy Happy Happy Birthday! I remember you from like ages ago when I did pageants and I remember we just had a modeling shoot together last week! I meant to say hello of course, but I never got the chance." she excitedly blurted out in one breathe. "Slow down, Brooke. You're scaring them." her older brother chuckled. Brooke glared at him while I tried to remember his name. Jayden?  Jared?  Josh?  I just know it was similar to those... Aha! Jordan. It was Jordan.

*flashback*

"And up comes... Brooke Knight!" the announcer spoke. Brooke came out on stage and did her 'pageant walk' and waved. Her brother had been playing with some other little boys in front of the stage. "Jordan Lex Knight! Come back here this instant. Don't distract your sister"  Mrs. Knight had said. Jordan had come back, and bumped into Aidan, who fell and when he got back up him and Jordan started talking. Oh so THAT'S why he's so familiar. Jordan and Brooke's family had lived in New York until they moved to London for their parents' work.

*end of flashback*

When I started to pay attention to Brooke and Jordan's family, I noticed that they were all looking at me expectantly. "Oh excuse me, can you repeat that?" I asked, flustered. They smiled and Mrs. Knight asked, "How does it feel to be sixteen?" "Honestly, I don't know yet. It's only my first day, but so far it has been great!" I replied. "Well, we were wondering if you would like to hang out with Brooke sometime." Mr. Knight. "I would love to, Mr. Knight!" I said. "Please, call me Isaiah, and my wife Isabell." Mr. Knight, I mean Isaiah said warmly. "Okay. Mr.- Isaiah." I stuttered. Everyone chuckled and Brooke linked arms with me and told everyone "Valerie and I are going to go walk around so I can introduce her to some of the people of London." Without waiting for a response, she swept me away into the crowds of people.
