"Jasmine come on its time to get up. You don't want to be late for your first day of school", my mom yells up the stairs to my bedroom.
"Okay mom", I shout back.
I roll over and grab my phone to check the time. 'Okay it's 6 o'clock right now and school starts in 2 hours...Ugh it's still too early for this'. Pushing back the plum colored covers on my bed I get up and walk over to my closest, well more like maneuvering my way through and trying not to trip over unpacked boxes I left out from yesterday. Pulling out a pair of black skinny jeans and a black, grey, and white floral fitted tee I headed for the bathroom for a quick shower.
After my shower I blow dried my dark brown hair then straighten it and added just some eyeliner and mascara for my make up. 'Not really a big fan of make up.' As I make my way down the stairs to the kitchen my twin brother Carter tackles me and we both go rolling down the stairs looking like a black and white blob due to our clothing choice and hit our dark brown heads together.' I see I wasn't the only one wanting to wear black today' I think when I see my brother wearing black pants and a white tshirt with a black printed cross and wings.
"Ow, I thought we establish no sneak attacks near the stairs," I shout at him as I rub my head.
"Okay, not the brightest idea I've had", he said.
"Noooo really, what gave you that idea dip-slick?"
"... Did you just call me dip-slick?"
"What if I did. You gonna do something about it", I say mocking him.
"What the hell was that noise! Oh I should have know it would have came from you two" my mom said walking in with a pink apron on, a frying pan in one hand and a spatula in the other. "Did you tackle your sister down the stairs again?"
"Maybe.." Carter replies
"Stop doing that I don't want another trip to the hospital because you got a concussion and your sister with a broken arm", my mom tells my brother.
"If anything I think I have the concussion this time", I state while still rubbing my head. Carter and I get up from the the bottom of the stairs and follow my mom into the kitchen to get some breakfast and ice packs. Just any normal day in the MacCabe household.
After my brother and I finish breakfast we grab our back packs and fight for the car keys for ten minutes till I get them and drive off to a new school for another first day of school.
I pull up into the school parking and we get out the car and head up to the front doors of the school to head to the main office all eyes on us and whispers being heard after we past. 'Guess they don't get that many new students'. Opening the door I almost run into a tall guy with blonde hair and green eyes wearing a blue Hollister shirt, faded jeans and black vans.
"Oops sorry", green eyes says.
"Good going sis", my brother said holding back his laughter.
Shooting a glare at my brother and sticking my tongue out I face back over to green eyes and step aside. " No, I'm sorry"
Green eyes opens his mouth to say something but the warning bell rings." Sorry that's my cue to go class. Names Jake I'll see you guys around." And with that 'Jake' starts heading down the hallway.
"Well that was fun", my brother mumbles.
"Come on we gotta get our schedule", I say to him. We walk in the rest of the way and make our way over to a desk with a woman in her mid 40 ' s with grey streaks running in her Auburn hair tied up in a neat bun turns for her computer to look at us with a friendly smile.
" What can I do for you two", the woman asks.
"Hi, my brother and I are new students-" I start.
"-And came to get our schedules", Carter finishes.
"Oh you two must be the MacCabe twins, Jasmine and Carter, correct?"
"Yes ma'am."
"We are."
"Okay I'll print off your papers and call up a student to show you to your classes, just one sec."
While she was on the phone i turn to my brother and give him a look that says 'I hope we get the same classes'. He gives me one back thay says 'lets hope so'. I know what you might be thinking why are two siblings excited about getting the same classes together? Well the thing is since my family moved around a lot me and my brother were the only people we had to get through it and stick together as much as possible. Sure we may fight and call each other names, but hey we're family and family is all you got some times.
The woman at the desk cleared her throat to get our attention. "Here are your schedules and if you two wait a few minutes Amber will show you around."
Takeing the papers from the woman I look at them a give Carter his. Then we compare schedules.
"Looks like we have all our classes together, sweet", Carter points out.
Three minutes later true to the woman's word a short girl with brown eyes framed by black glasses, hair dyed snow white pulled into a french braid wearing a combat boots skinny jeans and a red plaid shirt came in through the doorway out of breath.
"Sorry... it took....so...long..my name... is Amber", the girl said in between pants.
Smiling I say,"Nice to meet you I'm Jasmine and-"
"-I'm Carter"
"Nice to meet you guys as well. If I could see you schedules and show you around"
I pass Carter him my schedule since he was the closest and he gave them to Amber with a smile that causes her to slightly blush.
"Thank you. Well, looks like you two have the same classes so this should be easy. Follow me."
We grab our backpacks from the floor and do as we are told. Amber lead us down the hallway that Jake took showing us where our classes and lockers are. Ten minutes later she showed us to our first period class.
"This is Mr. Smith's class and also happens to be my first period class", Amber states cheerfully.
We walk in and amber introduces us to the teacher know as Mr. Smith, then takes a seat in the front row.
"Class meet our new students, Jasmine and Carter. Make them feel welcomed and help them out if they need anything", Mr. Smith informed the class." You two can sit where there's an empty seat."
We nod our heads and take the two empty seats in the back of the class near the window.
By the end of class Amber walked over to us and asked, " Are you guys gonna be alright finding you next class?"
"Yeah, we'll-"
"- Be fine."
"Okay... Do you guys do that often", Amber questions looking weirded out.
"Oh, not often", I tell her
"Okay, I'll see you guys at lunch bye", she yelled as she started running down the hall.
"Looks like we're on our own now", Carter said to me.
"Yup."
We go to our next class and we start the same routine all over again till lunch. When we were about to step into the cafeteria a a guy with short black hair, grey eyes, a leather jacket and a skimpy blonde attached to his arm, whose shirt was two sizes too small and skirt nowhere near the schools dress code, bump into us.
"What is it with people bumping into us today, can they not see", my brother asks to noone in particular.
"Watch where you're going tramp", the blonde shouted at me.
The guy at her side looked at me up and down twice, which gave the blonde enough time to notice. 'Great. So much for staying under the radar this year'. The blonde gets a ticked off look and whispers something into the guys ear and pulls him away shooting me daggers. Amber runs over to us with a worried expression on her face.
"Do you have any idea who they are?"
