The clue hunt ended and the following year brought so many changes for the whole entire family, especially for Amy Cahill. As the clue hunt came to an end many had friendships formed, the strongest friendship was between Amy and her then-enemy Sinead Starling. These girls had become like sisters (funny because they shared similar features), they shared secrets, stories, ideas and a house (actually Sinead lived outside Grace in a guest house). Not only had Amy gained a sister but she had also gained a boyfriend too. His name was Evan, he is a TOTAL dork (according to Dan), he is cute, kind, and a perfect boyfriend (according to Amy), he is intellectual when it comes to computers (according to Sinead), he is a cheap pain in the bum (according to Ian). Evan and Amy had been dating for several months and the only obstacle they had to over come was the annoying siblings situation, but that was quickly resolved when Dan and Stacy (Evan's sister) fell in love and started dating themselves.

Amy POV

"Ugh… how much clothes do I have", I thought to myself.

I was organizing my drawers to make room for the clothes Natalie sent me.

They were all designer… of course, but they were simple and classic, and exactly my style. Natalie had been sending me designer clothes ever since the clue hunt ended, as a sign of truce, I willingly accepted them so I could have something to show off to the stuck up snob Allison. Allison is a girl in my grade, she is the 'Leader' of the popular clique, she is the girl who is jealous of my relationship with Evan. The latter provoked a memory of the day Evan and I first walked the halls of our high school as a couple.

Flashback

I stood there with sweaty palms and my hand entangled in Evan's-I mean my boyfriend's.

"Evan?" I started but he cut me off.

"Don't worry about what they think. What matters is what we have." he told me.

So then we walked down the hall hand-in-hand towards our History class which unfortunately was located next to Allison and her lipstick phonies.

As soon we were in a hearing range Allison shouted,

"Ohhh… look there's Beauty and his Beast!"

This comment was followed by a series of laughs and sneers. I felt a pang of annoyance, what right did she have to say something like that!

"Oh! Amy I smell something bad!" Evan said with covering his nose.

Suddenly inspired I thought of a witty comeback, "I wouldn't look now but there are a herd of zombies coming our way… and they reek of perfume."

That bitch and her posies were staring at me with wide eyes when my phone rang. I gave Alison and her posies one last smug look, I had won the battle… for now.

"Come on Evan."

I went around the group of wannabes and as I walked by, they jumped and shrieked and jerked away like they smelled something horrible- yah themselves. After observing their reaction Even turned to me and whispered, "I did hear something about herds of Zombies and their unbearable stench of overdosed perfume." We both chuckled silently and rushed in to the classroom.

Flashback

That was a memory from back when I was the old Amy Cahill back when I was quiet and shy, when I use to stutter, and I use to dress in stupid sweats and t-shirts. It was back when I use to be weak. Now I am stronger and confident, and now I dress in designer clothing, that even Alison can't afford, best of all now I stand up to Alison and her crowd. But that doesn't stop them from making snide comments about me and trying to pick on me… oh well once a bitch always a bitch.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I almost didn't notice my phone ring. I quickly snatched it off the ground and hit the answer-key... without looking at the Caller I.D.

"Hello…?"

"Hello Love" Ian answered in his suave British accent.

"Oh… Ian!"

"Yes it's me, you seem quite excited to hear from me, Love."

"No I'm more surprised… it's been 5 months since the last time we talked."

"Well that's the reason I called. I realized it's been a long time so um… I decided to visit."

"Okay… when should I expect you?" I answered calmly while my heart thumped out of control.

"In 3 hours…."

"I'll have a limo pick you up at the airport… I assume your flying in with your private plane.", I said still trying to play it cool.

"Yes and I'm bringing Natalie if you don't mind, love"

" Sure, it would be nice to have Natalie over I really need to thank her properly for all the clothes."

"Okay then see ya' Love"

"Ian… the nickname!"

"Oh yeah… sorry Love"

"IAN!"

"I'm British!"

"Fine, bye"

"Bye… Love"

I hung up disgruntled, I was hoping to spend my winter break with my boyfriend… not with my ex-boyfriend! Well what's done is done, I still have to organize Ian and Natalie's stay in New York and I only have… 3 hours. I ran to the living room where Dan and Stacy were making-out.

"DAN!"

"What!?", he shouted with annoyance.

"Cobra Alert" I yelled, I knew that was immature but that was the only thing that would get a response out of him.

"Why, Where, When!" He yelled immediately, jumping off the sofa but unsuccessfully dropping into Stacy's lap.

Stacy grunted but then she wrapped her arms around Dan's hip and put her head on his shoulder. "They are SO cute!" I said mentally.

"They're coming to visit. In Attleboro, our home. In 3 hours." I replied in a calm manner.

"So" Dan said with a shrug.

"Well, tell Nellie to make cookies, and tell Anthony to prepare 2 rooms."

"Why can't you?" Dan whined. Making him look like a baby… sitting on his girlfriend's lap.

"Because I've got to call the limo service and then clean my room which looks like a tornado screwed it up."

"Fine!" said Dan, he hopped off Stacy's lap and took her hand. Then the pair went looking for Nellie and Anthony.

As I finished up business with my brother I rushed up to my room to and started to clean it up. And boy did it truly did look like a tornado screwed it up.
