Chapter 1, odds against five

Riza Hawkeye woke up monday morning, with a tired, drowsy feeling in her body. She forced herself to get up and walk to the other side of the room to turn off the blaring alarm clock.

She walked back over to her bed to wake up her twin brother Jamie, which was not an easy thing to do. She and her twin brother looked exactly alike. In fact, they both had the same length hair, so if she just wore a simple black sweatshirt everyone would probably think that she's him. And for as long as she could remember she had to share a room with him.

"Come on Jamie get up," Jamie gave no stir. " Jamie I know your facking it. Jamie I can see the smile on your face."

"Damn, you caught me.". Jamie slowly got up out of bed, and before he knew it Riza had already started running toward the bathroom to take the first shower." Come on, Riza, thats thats not fair. You take longer than I do." Finally, after wrestling with her for a few minutes, he gave up and just sat back down on his bed, pondering what their first day back at school would be llike.

Over in the shower, Riza was thinking the same thing. It wouldn't be like last year at that stupid school, where she and her brother did nothing but cause trouble. This year she wouldn't be the youngest, but, on the other hand, this was a new school and she wasn't exactly gunna "fit in". This school is way diifferent. It was West Central's Military Academy for Young Men and Women.

She turned off the water and welcomed the cooler air with a shiver down her body when she opened the shower door. She got her towl and dried off. She then reached for her uniform; a mid-thigh length black skirt, a white botton-up T-blouse, and a brown sports jacket, which she did not bother putting on since it was at least 80 degrees outside. She looked into the mirror to brush her teeth, and put some eyeliner and mascarra on her face. She the comed her blond, shoulder length hair and put some gel in it.She turned around and opened the door to her bedroom and got her punk-like boots on her feet, while Jamie rushed into the bathroom.

Riza soon met her other four brothers in the kitchen for breakfast. She grew up in a very large, wealthy family. Her grandfather had won the lottery when he was only in his early thirties and fathering Marshal James Hawkeye and five of his other sons.

Her oldest brother Jeremy was visiting the house for a few weeks with his wife, Danielle, and daughter, Costanza (Stanzy). He praticaly raised her and her brothers, because her father was usually busy with military work, and her mother died from alcohal poisoning when she and her brother were little. The brother underneath Jeremy was Jacob, who had graduated from the military school a year before, and has still failled to find a job. He has a slight morose personality, but is a truely caring person. The brother right above the twins was Joe, who also attended the military school but as a senior.

" Go' morning" said Riza, only slightly tired.

Jeremy was the first to stop eating his eggs to look up at Riza with a smiling face."Morning Rizy, have a good night's sleep?"

"Not after you locked Gan Gan in my room last night. He got dog hair all over my bed, and he pushed me off."

"Ya well, i hate to interrupt you, Rizy, on your life story but we're gunna be late if we don't leave within the next three minutes. Where's Jamie?" said Joe. He usually preffered skateboarding to school rather than some other way, pretty much because 'the girls dig the skateboard'.

"He's still up-stairs bein a retard"said Riza. "I'll go get him."
