When does this story take place? Well, I'm going to say before Final Warning. This is when they are just laying low and trying to fit in. I know, it's not in the books. This is kind of like during a time that I made up. So, Elyse is probably the most complicated character I have ever written. I spent all of Civics class writing her up, trying to fit her into a stereotype. She doesn't fit in a stereotype, and I think that's why she's my favorite character to write. She's a bit of everything! I hope you guys like this chapter! Thanks for the reviews so far! It'd be amazing if you could keep the reviews up!

-day one

Turned out, Iggy had every single class with me. Every single class, every single day.

After math class, I led him to English 2. He was pretty much screwed for this class.

"So, where do you come from?" I asked as pushed our way through the crowded school.

"Louisiana," he said, not really thinking about it.

"Ah, I hear it's hot there," I said. "Do you have any siblings?" I asked. If I was stuck with him all day, I might as well get to know him.

"Yeah, er, 2 younger, 2 older," Iggy answered, looking around the room. Of course, he couldn't see anything. I wondered what it would be like to be blind. Just to see black. All the time.

"Big family," I commented. "Do you dream?"

"What?" Iggy looked semi-shocked by the question. Oh come on, he was blind. People had to ask him that all the time.

"Since you are blind, can you close your eyes and see things? Like…do you dream?" I asked, suddenly feeling awkward about asking the question. I didn't know I would have to explain things.

"Yeah," he replied, "I see lots of things when I close my eyes. I wasn't born blind."

"How did you become blind?"

Iggy didn't tense up. He didn't get sad. He just smirked and said, "I guess I should just tell you to not play with bombs at a young age." He couldn't possibly be blind because of a bomb exploding! I watched him, in wonder. Wow.

After 2nd period, we went to lunch.

"I can help with your tray," I offered as we got in the lunch line.

"I can do that myself, I'm not helpless," he wasn't defensive about it. He had a smile on his face, like he was happy that he was better than me. So, this blind kid was competitive.

"Hey, Iggy, how are your classes?" a brunette approached him. She was medium height, incredibly skinny, and had mushy brown eyes. I wondered how Iggy already had friends…I mean; he had spent every second at school with me.

Unless, you know, he was magic. He could magically make friends. Now that would be cool. Iggy chatted to her for a moment, and I caught something about a stink bomb, and cheating.

I tuned out when a few friends came up to me and asked about the school newspaper. Right, I had a meeting after school. They left, and I turned back to Iggy. There was another person with him and the girl. This boy was fairly tall and skinny too. He had dark, handsome features. Okay, it's official. Iggy could magically make friends. In the lunch line, no less.

"Who are you?" I bluntly asked the two.

"This is my sister Max," Iggy pointed to the girl, "and my brother Fang." The first thing that hit me was that they couldn't possibly be related. They didn't have a single thing in common, except for the thin body build. The similarities started and ended there. Max had this bossy thing to her. She hadn't spoken a word yet, but the way she held herself told me all I needed to know. Fang didn't say a word either, and this was because he was either shy or just stuck-up.

Then, I accidentally said the second thought out loud. "Were your parents on drugs when they named you?" I instantly clamped my hand over my mouth. "I'm kidding, I didn't mean that. Although…" I faded off. A girl named Max? Two boys named Fang and Iggy? Fang and Iggy were dog names, and Max was a male name. Their parents must have had their genders and species mixed up. I immediately changed the subject. "So, you guys come from a hot place, huh?" What can I say, I'm obsessed with weather. I've been stuck in this small town my whole life, and had the same old weather every single day. I liked hearing about different weather and different places.

"The heat in Texas is killer," Max agreed. I nodded, because I heard that a lot. Texas was known for their….wait, what?

"Texas? I thought you guys were from Louisiana," I stated, trying to figure out what was going on here. I mean, who lies about where they came from?

"We lived in Texas after Louisiana. We loved Louisiana so much, and hated Texas, so we just say we are from Louisiana. I would have thought Iggy would tell you that," Max was glaring at Iggy, and he was smirking back. Talk about secret code!

"Hey, I'm going to go, I have to go help Gazzy with a stink bomb over at the middle school," Iggy said, after the lunch lady served him the mystery meat.

"Hi Linda," I greeted the lunch lady as she put a slice of mystery meat on my plate. "Still don't believe in normal pizza and tater tots, do you?"

Linda smiled, "You got that right, sweetheart."

"Iggy, it's your first day. Wait a few days before you get expelled. I'll kill you if you get expelled today," Max sighed, as if she was his mother.

"Wouldn't your parents be pissed if you got expelled?" I wondered. My parents would murder me!

"Uh, yeah," Iggy said.

I said goodbye to them, and went to sit with my friends.

After lunch, Iggy didn't sit anywhere near me. After school, he left immediately.

So, that's the first day I knew Iggy. That's probably the only normal day I ever experienced while knowing Iggy.

Because things were going to start to get weird.
