My name is Jorian and I am in trouble. I should really tell you how I got into all of this, huh? I guess I'll start the day before it all started. It was January 15th, 2006, the day before my fourteenth birthday.
I woke up that day feeling well slept and happy, for it was soon to be my birthday. "Shay," I called. "Get the others up for school, I'll get their clothes. Mom is already at work, so tell Leah to make breakfast."
"Okay," she replied "I'll get her up first."
As she started waking Leah, I got all of their clothes ready and put them in a row. "Let me make sure I got all of them," I said, as I was looking at the row. "Leah… Check. Shay… Check. Danny… Check. Niyah… Check. Jay… Check. That's all of them."
"GET UP!" I heard Shay scream from the room next to me. She was working on getting up Jay.
I put on my clothes and walked into the kitchen to Leah making toaster waffles. I then heard Shay tell the others to get dressed. Leah then went upstairs on cue to get dressed. I went up after they were all dressed and announced it was time to go. "Leah, you walk Danny and Jay to school today. Shay and I will walk Niyah."
When we got Niyah, Jay, and Danny to school, Leah, Shay, and I took off toward the middle school, knowing the first bell would ring soon. When we got there, we noticed we had 5 minutes left until the bell, and split up to go to first period. A few seconds after we separated, I turned a corner. As if she suspected I would be there at that exact moment, Brielle showed up right beside me. "Hey," she exclaimed. "Why are you always almost late?"
"We've been over this; I have to take my younger siblings to school first. You have a very selective memory"
"No comment."
"Of course…"
We walked into our first period class, Math. As if the bell was just waiting for us to walk in, it rang as we entered. "Take a seat, class." Mrs. Jackson ordered. "Take out your textbooks and turn to page 145, do problems 1-30, and turn it in at the end of class"
I did as I was told and finished as soon as the bell rang. As normal, Brielle and I walked out, said our goodbyes, and left for the next class.
Eh, nothing important happened for a while, so let's skip to the end of the day.
"RRRRIIINNNGGG!!!!" The bell chimed. I exited my last class, and went to the building beside me to look for my sisters. It didn't take long to find them, because they were clearly in some trouble. Leah and Shay were arguing with this tall, burly girl, and she looked angry. I quickly scurried over to them, and apologized to the girl, telling her that it wouldn't happen again. "You two are idiots; she could have squashed you if she wanted." I proclaimed.
"Calm down," Leah told me "We know when to stop."
"Well, apparently you don't, because, as I said before, she looked ready to pummel you two"
"Will you two please shut up?!?" Shay chimed in. "I'm trying to listen to music here!"
Leah and I stared at her, dumbfounded. Shay was usually a pretty nice, no matter what had happened. "What's wrong with you?" I asked.
"Uh, nothing! Don't worry about it." She replied hastily.
"Okay…"
The three of us walked off of the campus, heading for the other kid's school. When we finally arrived, we were greeted by the principal. She handed us a note, and told us to give it to our parents. All at once, I suspected the lot of us had the same though. "Danny." We said in unison. We walked off towards the area where we were to pick up our siblings. As the other three walked up to us, I walked in front of Leah and Shay. "Daniel," I questioned. "What did you do this time?"
