"Sam, time to get up, you're going to be late for school." My brother Caleb yelled to me. I was already dressed, uniform and all. I was lying on my bed thinking about everything. I sat up in bed and put my shoes on over my knee high dark blue socks. I already had on my khaki skirt and my blue vest over my long sleeve white shirt. I walked down stairs and Caleb was waiting for me. I walked past him and into the kitchen. I grabbed my keys and my bag. I walked back up to Caleb, and gave him a hug. He did all of this for me. He moved here to Boston for me, he was accepted into Harvard though. Right after mom died, he sold the house and moved here. Leaving everything behind, his friends most importantly.
"Thank you so much Caleb. For everything."
"Your welcome." I walked out of the house and up to my car. It was a Honda accord, convertible. Mom bought it for me just before she died. I got in and drove to school. Nothing important happened. Just the usual, here is your class let's get to know your classmates, yay! I sat alone at lunch, until a stranger came up and sat down next to me.
"Hi your new here right? Samantha?"
"Yeah." I said simply.
"I'm Erin. Do you want to come eat with me and my friends?"
"Um, sure." I said grabbing everything and following her. I sat down next to her and her friend. More of her friends came over and filled up the rest of the table.
"So where are you from?"
"Ipswich. It's not too far from here about an forty five minutes or so."
"Cool." Erin said. I was looking around at the outside of the school. I looked at the table across from us. There was a young man he was staring right at me. I could feel my eyes turn black, like someone was making me use my powers. I looked towards him and saw that his eyes were black also. I blinked my eyes hoping that it would make my eyes their normal brown, it didn't. I closed my eyes and I searched in my bag for my sunglasses once I could them I put them on immediately.
"Sam what's up?" Erin asked.
"Nothing. I'm just going to walk around. I'm not feeling too well."
"Okay I'll see you around."I nodded. As I walked I searched through my bag looking for my phone. I knew that Caleb would be calling, any second. One second later, he called. I picked up the phone, I didn't even say hello before Caleb spoke.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Something is defiantly going on at this school. I'll explain when I get home. I got to go the bell just rang."
"Bye" he said. I hung up and put my phone back into my bag. I took off my sunglasses, my eyes felt normal, no one was staring. When I walked into class Erin was already in there. At least there was one friendly person in the class. I sat down next to her. A few seconds later the guy that was staring at me at lunch walked in.
"Is everything better? You seemed in quite a hurry."
"Yeah everything is better."
"That's good." She said smiling. I knew from then that she was going to be a good friend. We talked for the rest of class. We did nothing the entire period. For that class we had a sub, our normal U.S. History teacher was still on vacation. When the school day was done, I walked out towards the front of the school. I could feel someone following me. I turned around and I saw a familiar face, it was Reid.
"Reid?" I almost shouted.
"Yep, that's me. Last time I checked." I dropped my bag and ran to give him a hug.
"I missed you! Wait, why are you here?"I asked. I was so happy that Reid had come to visit Caleb and I.
"Well," He said pointing behind me. I turned around. It was Tyler. My heart must have skipped a beat, I couldn't breathe for a second. He saw me and smiled. He got to me and pulled me into a hug. I rested my head on his shoulder while he stroked my back with his thumb. The only person who didn't know about our relationship was Caleb
"What are you doing here?" I asked fighting back tears.
"We moved here Reid, Pouge and I." Reid picked up my bag and nodded. Tyler wrapped his arms around me.
"Keys, baby boy." Reid says handing out his hand. Tyler rolled his eyes and reached into his back pocket, and handing him the keys. Reid walked away leaving Tyler and I standing there. I walked towards my car and he followed, holding my hand the whole way there. We got into my car.
" Why are you here. At this school?"
"Tomorrow, I start going here." he said smiling. I loved it when he smiled.
"I can't wait." I drove home. Tyler and I were the same age. 17. Caleb, Pouge and Reid had already ascended. Tyler and I were close. I was the first girl born in 300 years in the five Ipswich families. No one knew if I was going to have any powers. On my 13th birthday I got a taste of my powers. Mine are apparently stronger than all of theirs. When we got to my house there was a huge moving van in my parking spot. I parked behind it. Tyler and I walked behind the van. He pushed me softly against the van and he kissed me softly. I wrapped my hands around his neck. He started kissing my neck.
"Ty, we need to go inside. Caleb knows that I'm home." I barely managed to say. Tyler kissed my lips again.
"I missed you too much."
"I missed you too." I walked out from behind the van first. Tyler went back to get my bag. I walked into the room just as Pouge and Caleb were walking down the stairs.
"Pouge!" I said and he walked over and he hugged me.
"Hey Sam." Caleb walked over to us. Reid and Tyler walked in. Caleb walked over to the door under the staircase. We all walked down the stairs and into the spell room.
"Samantha, what's going on?" Caleb said before I could even sit down. Reid and Pouge sat on either side of me. I was sitting across from Tyler. He looked at me wondering what was going on. I hadn't told him what had happened. I filled them in on everything about the guy. We all sat there trying to figure out who it was.
"Was it Chase?" Caleb finally asked. I shook my head.
"No it wasn't even close. This guy had dark brown hair and very light brown eyes. It was kind of creepy."
"His eyes went all black?" Pouge asked next.
"Yeah. Just like us when we use. Mine turned black, I could feel it. Luckily I found my sunglasses before anyone noticed."
"See I told you that sunglasses were a good solution for times like this!" Reid said and I laughed. A few years ago we got into a big argument about how sunglasses are helpful at times when you are using your powers, like at school or something. Caleb spoke.
"Tyler when you are at school tomorrow, please watch over her." He nodded.
"Aww, our Baby Boy is growing up." Reid said laughing. Tyler rolled his eyes.
"I'm getting a little hungry? Is anyone else?" I asked and they all nodded. I walked up the stairs and up another flight of stairs, Into my room. I put on jeans and a pink spaghetti strapped shirt. I walked down the stairs and grabbed my purse from a counter. Tyler was waiting for me at the door. I started to get my keys but Tyler stopped me.
"We are talking the Hummer." I smiled. I loved that car more than my own. I knew that he was happy that we were back together. I looked around, making sure no one was watching me, when no one was in sight I grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the house. He got in the hummer and I sat right next to him. This poor car had been through so much, going off a cliff... But then who's car hasn't been saved when we used. I know Caleb and I have avoided death because we used. I directed Tyler to the pizza place. I grabbed my purse and went inside, Tyler sat in the car. I saw Erin working behind the counter.
"Hey Sam! What's up?"
"Nothing much just getting pizza for my brother and our friends."
"What can I get you?"
"A large combination and a large pepperoni."
"Okay that's 11.22." she said. I handed her a twenty. She gave me the change back and I walked over to the side. I waited for a few minutes. They had called the pepperoni pizza, I was still waiting for the combination when the same boy walked in. I looked to Tyler in the car. His bright blue eyes were replaced by black ones. He got out of the car and came inside. His eyes were back to blue by the time he got inside.
"Hey Jason. What can I get you?" Jason said his order and stepped to the side. Tyler was up.
"Can I get cheese sticks and two bottles of soda." Tyler said as calmly as he could. Jason walked over to me.
"Your new here right?"
"Yeah." I said.
"Where from?"
"Salem." I lied and I heard Tyler laugh. Finally the combination was called. I grabbed the pizza and exited the parlor. Tyler soon followed. He opened the hummer and I got in. When we got to my house we set down the pizza in the living room. I sat down next to Pouge.
"He was there at the pizza place." I said simply. "He didn't do anything."
" He is defiantly not Chase." Tyler said. We ate our pizza talking, catching up on everything. I eventually got up and went into the back yard. There was a can lying on the ground. I could feel the power taking over me. I pushed the air and the can went flying into the air. It landed a ways away. I heard someone laugh.
"You get so into it when you use."Pouge said.
"Thanks." I said laughing, letting the power leave me.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm scared. I don't want it to be Chase. I knew how much hell he put Caleb through. I don't think I can watch that again." He nodded.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine." I trusted him. I smiled and walked back into the house. I walked into the house and Caleb and Reid were putting their jackets on.
"We are gonna go out. Is that cool?"
"Yeah that's fine. Love you."
"Love you too" He said. Reid walked over to Tyler and whispered something in his ear. Pouge and Reid followed Caleb outside leaving Tyler and I alone.
"Hurt her and I'll kill you?" I guessed. He nodded.
"They are like Caleb to me. They are like my older brothers."
"And what am I? Like them?" He asked gently stroking my cheek. It made me shutter.
"No, You're more. You are more, you're my best friend, my love." He wrapped his arms around me.
"Movie?" He asked. I nodded. We walked over to the couch and Tyler picked out a movie. I cuddled up next to him and we watched the movie. I remember when Tyler asked me out. It was right after Caleb had killed Chase. We kept it a secret for a while. Until Reid wasn't feeling well one day, and Pouge decided to surprise Caleb with a visit. He walked into the living room while Tyler and I were kissing. The look on Reid's face was priceless. I told them that I'd kill them if he told Caleb. I must have fallen asleep. I didn't remember what happened in the movie. Tyler woke me up by kissing my forehead.
"They are gonna be home soon. Reid just called." Tyler picked me up and carried me to my room. He laid me down on my bed and he started to leave.
"Wait." I said slowly. I got up and walked over to Tyler at the door. He leaned down and kissed the corner of my mouth, teasing me, he kissed the other side.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too." I changed into my pj's and I crawled in bed.
