Across the 7th dimension

Birthday

Chapter I

"Wake up idiot", Tyson screamed in my ears and i almost flew out of the bed. Managing to shake myself out of the warm covering i rubbed my eyes and tried to get a clear view of my surroundings. The first thing i noticed was Tyson and his puffed face. 

"Why cant you wake up early , Natya, like i do". "Because i am not the best footballer in our school", I replied cheekily.

" Loser", he muttered going away. Strangely  i was not the least bit of angry because it was my best and his worst day of the year. I jumped out of the bed grabbed a change of clothes and went to the bathroom. By the time i came out , bathed and brushed somebody had already opened the windows and sunlight was streaming through it. And that someone was now  finishing making my bed.

"Maria , i have always told you not to make up my bed. I will become spoilt". "Its okay its your special day." She went out of the room and brought out a gift wrapped package.

" Happy sixteenth birthday, Natya" " Thanks, Maria", i said  almost tearing out the gift. Inside i  found a box with a beautiful teardrop necklace."Wow that's cool"," Where did you get this from"

"The town carnival", she replied , "From Madam Seer".

Maria is a type of person who beliefs in magic, withches, faires. She even believes in vampires and werewolves.Can you beleieve it ?  I have told her so many times that those fortune tellers are some wackos stealing her money by making her believe something even they dont have any idea about. I chastise here everyday for buying such things. If she had saved That money she could have bought a Merecedez Benz and i am not even joking. 

She shrugged and went out of the room not bothering to discuss it further. "Breakfast is ready dear"

"Where is Tyson", I asked standing beside her near the sink. "Oh , he already left. Early practice today"

"Oh ", isaid paying no futher attention. He was out of the house and thats what mattered.

I grabbed a toast with marmalade , ran up the stairs again , brought my bag and ran out of the door before Maria could stop me for more breakfast.

Nina's car rolled inthe driveway the minute i closed te front door." You are early dude".

" Yeah i replied. I went and sat in the car and tied up my hair. I hate my hair , its too wild and too uncontrollable. even though i regularly style nothing happen. "Wild animals cannot be tamed ", Said Nina eyeing my hair.

As she started the engine, she said " Oh yeah and here's your birthday gift" I took the package and opened it to find a book by my favourite author Alliya Donnor and the title of the book was "Hundred ways to save yourself from your bullying sibling" Thanks i replied That's my favourite. "I was meaning to buy it, you're the best" "I know ", Nina replied

  We reached school after about seven minutes. Nina went to park the car and i waited for her. When she came back we made our way to the administrative block to fill up the scholarship. Nina filled her ones as well. Mrs Rance met us as we entered her office , smiled at both of us before turning to me.

"Well, if it isn't the birthday girl herself." In my school except Nina & Mrs Rance and  Jane my other best friend.  " Yeah, Mrs Rance. Thanks and good morning"

"You here to fill the SSC scholarship form. "Yeah", said Nina. "Here take and let me bring two ball pens for you to fill it up", said Mrs rance.

"No, its ok we have brought ours". She handed us the forms and went inside. I held the form in a daze. My dream was in my hands. Ok not my dream but the first step towards it. SSC scholarship was given to a student from our school who would be the best in studies and extracuriicular activities who got a chance to get university to the Halemare University the best in our district. I had applied in almost everything except sports.

"Ok, lets do it then ", said Nina. I noddded tersely.

After filling up the forms we made our way to locker. Mine and Nina's were side by side mine 504 and hers 503. We took our books and i was just about walk away when Tyson akka Jerk got there.

"Natya , i have to talk to you", he whispered urgently. I narrowed my eyes and scowled at him.

"I know exactly what you want to talk about. You have been talking about eversince we turned nine."

"Yeah", he said sheepisly after which he scowled. "So what's the theme of your party this year. Harry Potter or Twilight", I asked my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Very funny, he replied

He looked left and right to see if anybody had seen him talkng to the 'Girl with funny hair'.

"So what are you doing for your birthday", he asked. "None of your buisness", i replied omniously

For those who haven't guessed yet , Tyson is my brother.To be more specific he is my twin. But he looks and act anything from the fact. I have brownish blonde hair which is turning black while he has chestnut coloured hair. The only similarity was that he and i were  both really tall and had the exact shade of blue grayish eyes. God knows where we inherited from since everybody in our family has green colored eyes. Nobody in the school except for my best friends and office staff and maybe the principal is aware of this. God knows how he managed to hide the fact that we were siblings and he says he will continue to hide the fact till his grandson dies. One big secret , i have never been to my brother's birthday. He always gives his parties at some uptown classy resturant and i assure you that if he sees me  within 10 yard radius of the resturant he will probably have me arrested.

     When we were 14 he  invited his friends over to the party and forgot all about it.It wasn't till his first friends started arriving that he realised his folly. I was asleep. So he took me quietly to the basement  and i was shut down there for two days. When i was finally rescued by my uncle , the doctor saw that i had high fever and eversince he has not been allowed to throw parties at home.  I guess i can take credit for that. 

Anyways i was done talking to him. "I have a class to catch ok", i said before turning.

"OK", but just dont try to mess up my party.You will be in big trouble".Nina snorted and i smiled.

Nina was tired of my brother's irate behaviour but dont get her wrong she is a very nice girl.

  Our first class was Maths which was my favourite subject. We made our way to our fixed place seat and sat down. The teacher, Mr Roger entered our class. He took our attendence and then cleared his throat for the class to be silent.

"Ahem studen attention we will be starting a new part of the Conic Section.Take out yourearlier home assignments. Most of the groaned while i as a obedient student made my way to submit it.

When i came to sit down i saw many giving me daggers but i ignored them and opened my book.

Mr Roger went out of the class and came back after a few minutes."Sorry class i forgot to tell you.But a new student will be joining us for this semester. I hope you will all be nice to him and make friend with him soon. The whole class craned their neck to get a good view of the new student standing in the hallway. He entered the classroom and most of the girls gasped in awe. Even i have to admit the guy was quite good looking. From a scale of 1 to 10 i would give him a seven.

He was wearing a cool green T- shirt and jeans with a leather jacket. He suddenly reminded me of someone so much that i was shocked beyond words. But who was that ?? While i was thinking the teacher asked the boy his name . He said ,"  Gadiel Abury"  he said.

  *****************************************************************************

I was standing in front of the class and the whole of them like i was a shiny new toy. Most of the girls were watching me with awe while boys looked omnious one even threatening me with his eyes. I chuckled inwardly laughing at their naivity. While i said my name i scanned the whole room. at last my eyes landed on the girl who was staring at me as if trying to decipher something while mentally calculating.

I know how she would look like but looking at her in person i could not shake of the memories attached to that particular person. I have found her. Now to find the other one.

Now to find the boy.
