Chapter One: Introducing the main characters

Mercy

"Mercius, Get up now" Dad banged on my door. I moaned and fell out of the bed.

"Mercy is up and now sore" I told him reaching over to the bedside table and grabbing my phone.

"You better not be on faceplant book" he chuckled

"Hahaha, I'll be down in 45."

"Try 20" he went downstairs. I got off the floor, grabbed a bunch of random clothes and ran into the bathroom. Inside, I had a quick shower, put the clothes on and applied makeup.

"Hey where's Mum gonna be today?" I asked Dad as I grabbed a piece of bacon off his plate.

"She might be in New York, that's what I could gather from last night's 3 minute conversation at least" he explained putting his plate in the sink.

"Why did we have to move to ... again what was the point of it?"

"Your Mother thought she might be staying here but then things changed after we moved across the country." He kissed my forehead. "You ready for School?"

I groaned, "do I have to go?" I put my head on his chest.

"Your 16 you only have two years left anyways."

"18 months." I corrected him, "I wonder if mum will show up to my Graduation. Who knows right?"

"She will be there she's not a monster after all."

"Mmmhmmm, we'll see about that" I grabbed my school bag and he grabbed his gym bag. Just so you peeps know my dad is a stay-at-home dad.

"Do you want to drive?" He asked waving the keys to the Porsche in my face.

"Are you for real, you do realise that those are the keys to the Porsche right?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, how cool would it be to drive to school in the Porsche? It is yours after next year anyway."

"OK, I'll just bring MORE Attention to myself by arriving in week 5 of term 2 during year 11" I answered sarcastically, grabbing the keys and running out of the house. I turned the car on as I hopped in and waited for him to lock the house. My phone linked to the radio and 'Rise' by Katy Perry started playing through the speakers.

"I won't just survive oh, you will see me thrive" I began to sing.

"Can't write my story, I'm beyond the archetype" dad starting singing too.

"You just love that Katy Perry don't you?"

"You do too" I giggled. "That's the school."

"No it's the shopping centre" dad exaggerated.

"OK thanks for that I'll see you at three?" I grabbed my bag and dad hopped out.

"Sure thing. Should I bring the Bentley, the ghost or the porsche?" He asked getting into the driver's seat.

"I think the Ghost should have some time out of the garage this afternoon" I giggled as I kissed his cheek and walked into the school grounds. A shiver went down my spine. Something felt weird all of a sudden. I walked over to where all the kids were gathering.

"Hey Sable" a random kid walked past, That was weird, that's not even close to my name.

"Hey Sable" A girl ran my way and I ran the other direction until I was certain I lost them. This is going to get weird quickly.

Sable

"Sable, what's up?" I heard the familiar, annoying voice of my friend Goel.
"Hey Goel" I laughed as he hooked arms with me, walking through the front doors of our school.
Goel is a bit of a character. He's super funny and adorable. We've been friends since we were young, nothing had ever split us apart. He was like a brother to me, a super cute and sassy brother. One time a teacher asked him why his name was spelt with a G instead of a J. I nearly died of laughter when he snapped his fingers at the teacher and said 'because it's cooler that way.' I watched as his floppy black hair fell over his shiny green eyes in contrast to his light skin.
"You hear about the new girl coming today?" he snapped me back into reality.
"No, what new girl?" I asked.

"Dunno, all I heard was that there was a new girl coming today" he smirked, "hope she's hot."
I chuckled and shoved him playfully. "Me too, it's about time you found a girlfriend you single pringle" I laughed some more.
He blushed and rubbed the back of his head with his free hand.

I was going to laugh again at his adorableness when someone else beat me to it. I silently groaned and turned to see Gabe as he came over to ruffle up his brother's hair.

"Is someone blushing about someone special?" Gabe giggled as he came up and stood beside me.

Gabe and Goel are fraternal twins in every way. Their eyes are different even though they are the same colour, Gabe's are more piercing than Goel's. While Goel's hair is black, Gabe's is a soft brown that doesn't hang down like Goel's did but rather it sticks up on his head. He's a jock too, with a strong build and a bulky frame that made all the girls swoon. Not only does he play football but he is also captain of the swim team and the boy's soccer team. This is the complete opposite to Goel who spends a lot of his time reading books or playing video games with me. Not to say that Goel isn't good looking, as I said before, he's freaking adorable, he just doesn't play any sports and so his body isn't as muscular.

Back to the matter at hand. Goel rolled his eyes at his twin and turned his eyes to me in a pleading way. Not like I could do anything, Gabe doesn't listen to me.

"Gabe, can you go away?" Goel sighed.

"Aww what's wrong little bro? Don't like your twin hanging around? Am I annoying you?" he teased.
Goel sighed again and put on a serious expression. Oh no, now he was mad.

"Gabe don't call me your 'little bro' I'm only two minutes younger than you! Now go and knock heads with your stupid, meathead friends or something."

"Geez, fine. See ya later then. Oh and see you later too Sabe" he winked at me and jogged down the hall until he was out of sight.

I rolled my eyes but held a smile on my face. Definitely fraternal.

 Definitely fraternal
