CHAPTER 1
SO THIS IS MY NEW STORY ABOUT LORIEN! THIS IS ABOUT WHEN THEY ARE ALL AT SCHOOL!
Nine:
I walk over to greet five kissing her.
"I still don't get why we have to go to school." I mutter.
"Man up." I say pushing him away.
The girls uniforms have skirts that were quite short and are black. We have a white top and a blue jumper. We also have to wear stockings.
"I have to say, you guys are really rocking the whole 'sexy school girl' look." Nine says.
Four walks over after hearing part of our conversation. He grins.
The bell rings.
"We gotta go back to school." Four says shoving Me back to the car.
It sucks that the girls go ti an all girl school. Eight was waiting impatiently for us. He starts the engine quickly and then zooms off to school.
The classes where so boring. I hated the Monday timetable, to be honest I hate Mondays altogether. The slipped through slowly, period after period. It felt like one million years an once the last bell rung I was surprised I wasn't a skeleton because it took so long. That was saying something since I am a Loric and we live longer then normal.
I must have been drowling on the desk because when Eight woke me up the desk was wet.
"End if the day buddy." He grinned. Year 11 was difficult. Eight was in the class next to me in year 12.
We drove past the girls school and picked up five, marina, six and Ella.
Once we were home I flopped onto the couch.
"Another 4 days left of school until the holidays." Five says nudging me.
"Do you think that helps me in any way? We have to leave every holidays." I moan.
"Ooh! Yay! It's my pick of where we go now!" Ella says jumping up and down slightly.
"Where do ya want to go?" Emma asks.
"Australia." Ella says in her best Australian accent.
"G'day mate." Nine says winking at Ella. She laughs a little.
We spend about three days here in America before we have to leave again.
Four days later:
Australia doesn't seem that bad. We all have new names and new ages.
Five: Jessica age 17.
Marina: Marina age 17
Ella: Ella age 16. (She changed her age.)
Eight: Mike age 19 (working now.)
Four: chris age 18
Nine/me: Ben age 18
Six: Zoe age 17
This time it's a boys and girls school. As the first period bell rings we rush to the front office.
"So you all realated?" The assistent answered.
"Well, Ben and I are brothers." Four explained.
"And I have a brother who is off at work now and Zoe is my sister." Six continues.
"And Ella here is my sister." I finish.
"We're all very close family friends." I add to the look of confusion in the assistants eyes.
We had worked around the sibling thing so each of us got our own partners.
"Oh, ok." The women said and gave us our time tables. I can't believe she believed us!
A boy, about Ella's age walked around the corner.
He had jet black hair and was combed to the other side.
"Zach!" A teacher called after him.
"Yep what?" He asked. Ella couldn't keep her eyes off him.
"Show this new girl around, I'm sure the older kids can manage." She said.
Zach took her timetable and read over the list.
"Ok! You have English first with me, we have this awesome teacher who gives us packets of chips and we drink coffee, soft drink and mocha all the time." He rambles on and then realizes that he was and stopped himself.
"Well, Ella, try not to get into trouble." I add.
Ella rolls her eyes and then continues talking with Zach.
Ella:
Zach is so amazing. We spent the whole day together.
It's not like I love him or anything...
Maybe I do, but I can't get to attached, what happens if the others and I have to leave at any moment. I'll end up like what happened with Four and Sarah.
Last period was sport we had to find a partner and race against them.
"So, I'll take it easy on you because you're new." He says after we partner up.
You don't have to. My new legacy is super speed, I won't run to fast.
We start, I give him about 5 seconds head start and then speed after him, and I make sure I don't go to fast. I run with him for a while and then in the last, two seconds I speed ahead. I act tied.
He pants behind me.
"I guess I don't have to go easy." He pants.
"mmmm, maybe not."
He grins. "How long have ya been here?" He asks.
Something about his Australian accent makes me shiver.
"About a day, I came here from Hawaii." I lie. It is depressing that I have to lie to him. I wish I could tell him everything.
"Well, I can show you around if you want. Sydney is an amazing place." He says.
Am I being to obvious? I have to act normal, but when I am around him I melt, maybe he thinks of me as a friend. I would die if he does.
I look over my shoulder to see Nine giving Zach a dirty look.
"Ahh sure!" I say. "Sorry about my friend." I add, "He's like my big brother."
"Yeah, I think he has been giving me dirty looks all day." He grins. I laugh.
The end-of-school bell rings.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow at six." HE says and runs off.
I melt and almost hit the ground.
I run to the bus. Five sits next to me.
She starts making kissy sounds.
"Shut up!" I say.
"Ella has a boyfriend!" She sings.
Nine and Marina looks at me instantly glaring.
"You have a boyfriend?" Marina asks.
"No! Zack is just showing me around!" I protest.
"Sure." Five coughs into hand.
