Phoenix's POV:
I sit in my room getting my things ready for school, tomorrow I start secondary school and I'm so excited . "Phoenix can we talk?" Dad says as he knocks on the door. "Yes daddy come in, what is it," he sits on the bed and I plop right next to him. "Are you sure you want to wear your bear costume, aren't you getting a little old for it." Old, I'm not getting to old I love my bear costume. "Of course I'm not to old, I'm going to wear it," I say stubbornly as faith walks in and switches with dad, "I got this" she says taking his spot next to me. "I had a bear phase when I was a child too, let me guess, your a bear because bears don't have problems." She gets me, Faith actually gets me, "exactly, but you don't have problems, your the daughter of a model and the mayor, nothing is wrong with your life it's perfect." She chuckled and grabbed my hands "it may seem perfect, but I had a lot of pressure on me as a child, and watching my grandmother die right in front of my eyes was not helpful, but I over came it, part of being human is having problems it's part of lie, so I stopped being a bear. Would you like to stop being a bear." She was right we are supposed to have problems, we may not have the same problems but she understands. I nodded my head yes and changed out of my costume into pajamas. She even helped me pick out a outfit for the first day of school.
Lilith's POV:
Today is Phoenix's first day of secondary school, since I'm a stay at home mom for now I'm taking her to school. I quit my job when Sammy was born and I can't bring myself to go back to work yet. I slowly walk out of my room so I don't wake up Sammy and walk over to Phoenix's room. I open the door and see her knocked out still in bed. When I went over to wake her I tried to roll her over. But she rolled right back over and pulled the covers over her head, she's definitely a Villareal. "Phoenix you need to wake up it's the first day of primary school." She looks up and glares "5 more minutes." She is definitely Abel's, she is so moody. "We can get Starbucks," I say knowing that will get her up. She jumps right out of bed and runs to her bathroom to get ready. I decide to do the same, not that I'll be doing much but we are getting a first day of school photo, whether she wants one or not. I get out a black dress with red roses on it, fishnet stockings, and knee high boots. I may just be dropping Phoenix off, but I'm going to look good doing it. I straighten my light pink hair and do my makeup, as I finish putting on my mascara Sammy is up and awake crying. I grab my little blaze out of his bed and get him dressed. Phoenix runs in the room screaming "Auntie Lilith hurry hurry we can't be late," she is wearing a black sweater with a collar under it, a black skirt, and her hair pulled back in two French braids. "Let me get Sammy's bag ready phoe then I can take you ok? Go ahead and put your bag in my car." I quickly throw diapers in Sammy's bag and grab him off the bed. I quickly run down the staircase and grab my keys. "Come on Phoenix lets go let's go." We both run out the house, she jumps into the front seat and I fasten Sammy in his Car seat. When I jump in the front seat I turn the n some music and head for Starbucks.
Phoenix's POV:
Once we got to school auntie Lilith took a picture with me and a picture of me, summer and Nathan then she left. I gave summer a pink drink, Nathan a Iced latte and I drank my caramel macchiato frappe. School was going to start in 10 minutes so we looked at each other's schedules to see if we had anything the same. Our parents must have done something because we had all of the same classes. Summer also had he hair in French braids, but since her hair was wavy you could see it flowing out. She was wearing a blue jean dress with flowered stockings. Summer is super pretty, I wish I was as pretty as her, she and I have been friends for a long time, but I'm also good friends with Nathan. Nathan and I have a lot I'm common, we only have one parent. He has a mum and I have a dad, he is also related to aunt Lilith, but not to me. He also like wearing street wear, he and I are different to summer but she is my bestfriend and that will never change. School was fun, until the preppy girls walked up to us. "Summer what are you doing with these street rats," Bridgett evens says has her two best friends trail behind. I hate Bridgett Evans, she looks so perfect, but is pure evil. She was wearing a white lace crop top and a pink skirt with pockets with long wand curled brown hair flowing down her back,. She was even wearing makeup, it's only 6th grade! "Yeah summer, what's up with these low lives," Sophia Brown says laughing and rolling her eyes. She is on of Bridgetts friends. "They aren't low lives or street rats they are my friends," summer says standing up for me and Nathan. "Your friends with them, poor girl, we will be sitting across the room if you change your mind," Nancy Robinson says as the three prance away. "How do you know them?" Nathan asks while putting away his schedule, I was about to as the same question. "Theater Camp, they were the only people I knew, they were nice to me." Of course people are always nice to her but not to me and Nathan, Nathan and I are different, no one likes different.
