Kathaleena
The next morning I got dressed for school in a deep red tank top with a matching sweater over it, ripped skinny jeans, and white converse. I brushed my curly hair off to the side and left it free flowing over my shoulder. I shouldered my backpack before grabbing a lemon breakfast bar and walking out the door with Asher and Austin down the street to the high school.
"Ms. Thompson, please come down to the office." The woman on the intercom said as I shrugged my shoulders and walked over. When I opened the doors, I was met by a pair of sweet brown eyes, only belonging to Peter Parker.
"Am I in trouble?" I asked.
"No, you passed the test and Mr. Parker is going to take you to your new school." The blonde lady said.
"What about-." I started.
"Don't worry, they will be just fine here." The lady cut me off before Peter and I walked out of the school and got on a train to get to the school.
"So, you knew?" I asked as we waited for our stop.
"I wanted it to be a surprise." He laughed as I smiled and shook my head lightly. "They said you scored a 98 out of 100. Not many people can do that." He said as I grinned and shrugged.
"I'm just that good." We laughed as the train stopped and we walked to the 'Midtown School of Science'.
We walked into the office where I was given my locker number and code, a schedule, and a 'grand' welcome by the fed up secretary.
Thankfully, I have all my classes with Peter so he could show me where everything is.
"Are you ready for your first class?" He asked before we walked in.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I grinned sarcastically before he opened the door for me and the teacher announced my arrival.
"Class, we have a new student joining us." The balding man said. "Introduce yourself dear." He pushed me towards the front.
"Uh, hi. I'm Kathaleena Thompson, but everyone calls me Kat. I just moved here from ten years of warm Florida..." I paused awkwardly.
"Does anyone have any questions for her?" Mr. Herrington asked.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" A boy in the back asked.
"Uh, no." I answered.
"How many times have you moved?" A girl with dark black hair asked.
"Quite a few. I lived mostly in the south, but I was born in Maine." I replied.
"What's something unique about you?" Mr. Herrington asked.
"Uh, I've never seen snow in real life before... if that counts?" I cringed at how awkward I was being.
"Do you have any siblings?" A girl in the back with a book in her hands asked.
"Yes, I have 6 older brothers, and 2 older stepbrothers." I answered as they gasped.
"9 kids?" A girl with blonde hair asked.
"Yeah, but most of them are either in college or on the other side of the country." I shrugged.
"How old is the oldest one?" One girl asked.
"My oldest brother, Richard, is 22 years older then me." I replied.
"What are their names and ages?" Mr. Herrington asked.
"Richard is 37, Collin is 35, Blake is 28, Connor is 24, Matthew is 22, Austin and Asher are 17, and my twin, Phillip, and I are 15." I said.
"Where's Phillip, Asher, and Austin?" The girl in the front asked.
"Asher and Austin are in Queens High School, and Phillip died about ten years ago in a house fire. He saved my life." I cleared my throat as it started to swell from holding back my tears.
"I'm sorry for your loss." The girl with the book said.
"Thank you." I smiled softly before Mr. Herrington told me to sit next to her, and that was my assigned seat for the rest of the year.
"Hey, I'm Michelle, but my friends call me MJ." She said softly as Mr. Herrington got on with his lesson.
"Nice to meet you, MJ, you can call me Kat." I shook her hand before we focused on the lesson.
"Before I continue on this lesson, there is a mandatory field trip tomorrow to see how radioactive military weapons are made at the RMWF in New Jersey." Mr. Herrington announced before he continued

After school, I walked to Delmar's to get a coffee when my eyes met Peter's again.
"Hey, are you following me?" He laughed.
"Face it Tiger, you can't get rid of me." I sassed as Mr. Delmar handed me my coffee. I paid for it before Peter and I walked home together.
