Especially Gifted

8 **First Day of School**

         I woke up at 6:30 just like always. I looked over at my cell phone and yawned. I called Xander then Grey to wake them up. I knew that I'd have to call them again here in five minutes to make sure they were awake, but that was fine with me. In a few hours, I would actually start classes. I went into the bathroom and took a shower. As soon as I was done, I called the boys again to make sure that they were awake. Xander had already informed the Head Master that our family adopted him, and we became his emergency contact. I went to my closet where I found my 'Memphis May Fire' T-shirt and black zipper skinny jeans. After getting dressed, I blow dried my hair and brushed through it. Today was going to be hopeful, exciting, and exhausting; but I couldn't wait. I brushed my teeth like every other morning, and zipped into the dorm room. There was an envelope by the door and I was afraid to see  what lays inside. But, when I opened the letter, there was paper, a key, and a card.

        The card was my school I.D. card that was to be kept on us at all times. The key didn't have anything written on it. Weird. The paper on the other hand, was more than one piece. On one sheet was information. It reminded me to keep the key and I.D. on me at all times. It alerted me that the key was my locker key, and cost $5 to replace. I could go in there now if I wanted to find my classes. Here we go. I finally know what my schedule is. I flipped to the other paper and read it. 

        First Block: Flying Lessons and Care 101. Second Block: Introduction to Music. Third Block: Elements and Their Uses 101. Lunch is served (1 p.m.) Fourth Block: Supernatural History; Level 1. Fifth Block: Equestrian Class. Sixth Block: Study Hall. Each class is an hour and forty-five minutes long. That gives you fifteen minutes to get to class. If you have any questions, concerns, or changes then please inform us as soon as possible. I was sure the boys knew most of these classes. I looked at the clock and speaking of the boys, it was time to meet up with them. I grabbed my bag full of school stuff and headed out the door, locking my dorm behind me.

        I was headed towards the Dinning Hall when a familiar blonde stepped in my way. She shoved me back and I looked up to meet her golden eyes. "I can't believe that you keep hanging out with Xander. I thought I made it clear to you that you should never talk to him again." She tilted her head in my direction. I picked myself up only to be shoved back down from someone behind me. "Stay away from Xander. Me and him are meant to be. He just hasn't realized it yet, but I have. You can fool around with anyone but Xander. Even being friends disgraces him. Just take my advice and leave him alone." She spat the last few words at me. I just laughed at her.

       "I technically can't leave him alone." I couldn't stop the insane laughter that escaped my lips. It was just too crazy to believe.

        "And why not? Your going to be living a life of hell." She rolled her eyes at the two people behind me.

        "He's my brother." The words made her smile fade. She shook her head and repeated over and over again that it wasn't true.

        "Your not really brother and sister. Your just saying that." She replied flatly. She looked like she was getting ready to pull her hair out in chunks.

        "Ask him then." I stepped around her and met up with him and Grey. The blonde ran over and sat on Xander's lap until I scooted over enough for her big ass to fit. She gave me a drop-dead look over her shoulders and looked back at Xander.

        "I was talking to our dear friend, uh...-." she didn't even know my name. This was hilarious. "Her," she said pointing to me, "and I couldn't help but over hear her say that your her brother. Is she telling the truth?" There was a desperate sound in her voice that pleaded with him to tell her that I lied.
