part one chapter one - no coincidence


general pov.

The four of them looked at each other, having the same thought, or at least close to the same one.

Keefe was the first one to actually say what none of them wished was true though. "Can't believe it's almost been an entire year." He admitted while not looking at any of them.

Everyone else silently agreed and Dex nodded his head to what had just been said. "Yeah..." He said while trailing off, doing the same thing that Keefe had done, not facing the others.

Fitz and Biana nodded along like they had done when Keefe was talking. "I know she's alive." Biana remarked.

"I hope she is, I mean, they haven't found her body, it's not been confirmed, so she could. Plus she's Sophie, she's always seems to be dancing with death." Fitz said as he held the school door open for everybody.

The other three muttered something along the lines of thanks as they walked through the door and Fitz nodded his head in acknowledgment.

The group of four walked into the cafeteria, it was were most people went before classes, you could grab food, or as most people do, talk to your friends. When the four sat down at their usual spot some people quickly glanced at them, but then quickly away again. Everyone knew that it had been a year since Sophie was gone, but people still talked about it, making theories. It was a conspiracists dream.

"I just want to see her, doesn't matter dead or alive. I just want to know what the fu-" Dex started, he and Sophie were so close before she was gone. He just really needed to see her.

"Language Dex, language." Biana reminded him with a small smile.

Dex's eyes widened because he knew how much Biana hated when people swore, she said that harsh words would solve nothing. "I was going to say 'what the fudge happened to her'... I swear..." He said while trailing off.

Biana let out a chuckle and Keefe and Fitz joined her, soon followed by Dex who was laughing at his own remark.

They all slowly stopped laughing seeing that two new people had sat down at their table. The four of them looked at the other two strangely before turning to face each other, communicating with their eyes. They were all confused, everyone, or everyone at school, knew that they liked to keep to themselves because of what happened.

"Uh, can we help you guys or..." Keefe said mumbling the end of his sentence, saying that he wanted them to leave with his eyes, but it was masked with words.

"Oh no! We're just new and all you guys looked friendly enough." Said the girl. She had straight black hair, as dark as the night sky at midnight and the tips had been dyed silver.

Fitz tightly smiled at her and glanced at the boy beside her. He looked like the alteration of the girl, same color of hair, also dyed silver from the tips. The only big difference, and truly, it wasn't that big, was their height. The boy was around an inch taller than the girl, who was most likely his sister. "Well, none of us are actually that friendly..." He said, like Keefe, trying to tell them to move on.

"Oh, bummer. Well we'll just sit at the other end of the table then." The girl said clearly annoyed that they hadn't given in to whatever she was trying.

"Oh you two can sit here... we were going head off right now anyways..." Biana said while tugging on Dex's sleeve.

"Yup, leaving right now." Dex said as he snatched Keefe's sleeve as Biana had done to him and Keefe did the same thing to Fitz.

"Don't you find it a bit weird that they come here, and talk to us, a year after Sophie's disappearance? Or is that just me?" Keefe muttered quickly as he shot one last glance at the siblings before the door shut.

Fitz shot Keefe a sideways glance before looking down the hallway again. "Not really no, I think it's a complete coincidence."

"Oh okay, bye young ones!" Keefe shouted at Biana and Dex since they had to go down a different hallway for their classes.

Biana shook her head at Keefe and Dex turn his head around to show Keefe his raised eyebrow, but was met with the blonde boys wide smile.


As usual the four of them sat down at their table, but right at the other end was the two that had approached them this morning. Keefe could swear that something was up with the two of them, they kept on glancing at him and his friends like they knew something that he didn't, and it was even worse because of Sophie. It was her anniversary today.

The girl leaned in to whisper something to her brother before getting up to go next to the four. "This is an odd question, but do you know anything about Sophie Foster?" She asked them. All of them looked towards each other and Keefe and Fitz connected their eyes, Keefe's practically screaming 'I told you so'.

"Maybe, who's asking?" Dex said while giving her a sideways glance.

"Cut the bull, we know that you used to be close to her before she disappeared." The girls brother said as he stood next to her.

Biana flashed the two of them a strained smile, "Why don't you two take a seat so we can talk this out. 'Kay?"

The girl sat down in the seat in front of her while her brother walked around the table so he could sit across from her. "Well, we're twins." The boy started off.

"We figured that out on our own bangs boy." Keefe remarked to his obvious statement.

The boy glared at him before continuing. "I'm Tam and this is my sister Linh, we just have a few questions for you and then we'll be on our way." Linh nodded in agreement to what he had just said.

"Fine, you ask and we might answer." Fitz said in compromise.

"Great, first thing, you all knew Sophie right." Linh asked and looked up to see everyone nodding their heads. "Good, okay next-" But before she could ask the next question the loudspeaker made a cracking noise, but then it was filled with someone's voice, the principals to be exact.

"Could the following students please come to the office as soon as they hear this, Dexter Dizznee, Keefe Sencen, Biana Vacker, and Fitzroy Vacker. Once again, Dexter Dizznee, Keefe Sencen, Biana and Fitzroy Vacker to the office please. Sorry for the interruption, and thank you." The announcer said in a monotone voice.

Once again, the four looked at each other and then slowly got up and started to walk out of the cafeteria, but Biana turned back around to face the twins who were equally confused. "We'll talk when we get back." But she turned around before she could hear their reply. "I wonder what they want from us." Biana asked out loud.

"Same. This has been one weird day." Dex added on.

Keefe slowly opened the office door as if he was trying to sneak in unnoticed, but of course he wasn't really trying to hard though. Fitz slipped in after him and held the door open for Dex before letting go of it. Dex fully opened the door though so Biana could walk in without a problem.

"You guys got here fast, you're not in trouble just so you know. I was just told to give you something." Their principal handed Fitz a slip of paper before shoving them out of her room.

Fitz looked at the paper before passing it to Keefe, who passed it to Biana, who passed it to Dex, who then gave it back to Fitz. He opened it and then started to read, "Maybe she isn't dead, keep your eyes open.
