Hey guys, here's chapter two. Thank you guys for reading the first chapter, I didn't think it would be good considering it was my first story. So i'm going to continue it as long as you guys keep loving it.


Abby POV

Mitchie and I are in the living room while Alex and Max are off doing wizard lessons. Justin, well, I don't know what he does. I'm sitting on one side of the couch and Mitchie is lying down with her head on my lap watching the television.

We were actually having a peaceful moment until Alex had shown up. I know she's my sister and we probably didn't get off on the right foot.

"So, what are we watching?" We sat there in silence, ignoring her question. "Uh, hello?"

I looked over at her, "What?" Does she actually think when she enters the room all attention should be directed towards her? Mitchie tapped my arm and look down at her and she shook her head. She knows how annoyed I get when I'm around attention hogs.

"Can we talk?" Alex asked me.

"Yeah, sure, talk."

"Just you and me, over there." She pointed towards the dining table. I rubbed Mitchie's arm letting her know that I'm going to get up. She got up only to lie back down when I got up from the couch. I followed Alex to the dining area.

"What did you want to talk about?" I crossed my arms and she did the same.

"Why are you treating me like I don't exist?"

"I don't know. By the way you act I can tell you don't want me here." I stood there looking angrily at her eyes. "If you get to know me you would probably like me but until then I'll pretend you don't exist."

I was just about to walk away but she took hold of my wrist. "I did that because I only wanted Mitchie's attention but apparently that isn't working." All this for Mitchie's attention? I don't think this plan was even thought through.

"Nothing is going to work." I stated.

"Why is that?" Alex asked softly.

"Because she just came out of a bad relationship and I don't think she's into girls."

"What?"

"I don't think she would be into you." She stood there I guess processing the information.

"I understand." Was it that easy? I guess so.

"Just be her friend, help her around school. But if she likes you, go for it. Just let her take her time." After I said that I went back to my spot in the couch. Then I realized what I did.

~…~

Alex POV

How can I help her in school? I have no classes with her. All the classes she has are advanced, the only time I'll get to see her is during lunch. She's going to have more time to bond with Justin than with me.

"Harper, what am I going to do?" I whined.

"I don't know, but isn't weird that she's your sister's adopted sister?" Harper asked me.

"No," I answered as I thought about it. "I don't think so. She's not related to me."

"What does your sister say about it?"

"Just to be her friend until the day she likes me." I don't know how that will happen considering she has all her classes with Justin.

Mitchie POV

First day of school and the only person who talks to me is Justin. He's cool. Who knew we both would be into Captain Jim Bob Sherwood? We have tons in common, which rarely happens. Everybody else would have called me a nerd and treat me like one too. That's why I'm happy that I'm here, it gives me a fresh start.

"Hey Mitchie." I heard Justin from behind me after the bell rang, dismissing us from school. I turned around. "I was wondering if you want to hang out later."

"Like a date?" I asked slowly.

"If you want it to be." He chuckled nervously, which actually makes him kinda cute.

I couldn't say no, "Yeah, sure."

"Great, awesome." He's ecstatic. I guess I made his day. But let this just be a date and nothing more.

~…~

Alex POV

Well, I guess taking Abby's advice wouldn't hurt if she helps me. Now here she is with me at the dining room table helping me with my homework. She makes it sound so much easier than the teachers make it sound.

We heard the door open and close. Justin and Mitchie got home from school but school ended over two hours ago. What were they doing?

"Hey guys." Justin said. He sounded happy, too happy. Mitchie is beside Justin, she has a nervous smile planted on her face.

"Where were you guys?" Abby had asked them.

"On a date." Mitchie said slowly.

"A date?" Abby and I said at the same time causing Mitchie to jump back a bit. I knew not having classes with her was going to end badly, my brother got to her before I did. I gathered my books and went to my room before they could say anything else.

Mitchie POV

What was that about? I could understand why Abby could be shocked, but why Alex? Well instead of just standing her maybe should go to her room and ask her. I make my way to her room.

The door to her room was open. I knocked lightly on door before walking in. "Hey." I said in a soft voice. She turned to look at me and then looked away. "Is there something wrong?"

"Nope, I'm just in shock that Justin could get a girl like you." She put on smile on her face but I knew that she was lying. I sat down beside her on her bed.

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, really. You should see the girls he used to date." She laughed, but I think she was just hiding behind it. "He dated a Goth, centaur, werewolf, and a vampire. You pretty normal compare to all the other ones."

Normally any person would looked at Alex like she was crazy, but since I knew she wasn't, I began to laugh. Then it came back to me, she stormed out of the dining room. "Alex, is there something you're not telling me?"

Her eyes looked to side as if to recall something, then she shook her head. "Nope, there's nothing." I didn't know her well enough to know if she was lying or not. So I decided to let this one go.

"It was just a date but nothing is going to come out of it." I began to explain. "I'm not ready for any serious relationships right now. I don't want to lead your brother on."

"Well, you should tell him that. He tends to get attached very quickly."

"I will." I know I should and after that I should go talk to Abby. She would probably want an explanation on why I went on a date with Justin. I actually feel kinda guilty on going a date with Justin knowing it was not going to become anything serious.

Then there was hurried footsteps coming to Alex's room. Max appeared at the doorway out of breath. "You guys better hurry. Abby and Justin are about to go at it." I instantly became scared for the other brother and what could happen. Alex and I followed him downstairs.

Abby POV

I'm mad when I know I shouldn't be. He didn't know, actually nobody knows. Here I am pacing back and forth in the dining room. Justin looks kinda scared of what could happen next. I have no idea how to react to this without actually giving away my secret.

"Are you mad at me?" Justin asked.

Yes. "No, just wondering why Mitchie went on a date with you." Then he looked offended. "Not that anything is wrong with you. It's just I didn't expect her to go on a date so soon."

"Why?" He was curious. I can only give so much information.

"She just came out from a relationship that ended badly." He nodded knowing that he understands. "I'm just protective that's all." That and more. This secret is becoming harder to keep when I have my brother and sister crushing on Mitchie now. I manage to stop Alex from going any further for right now but Justin is going to be harder.

"Max, I thought you told us that were going at it." I hear Alex's voice. I looked towards the voice. Max, Alex, and Mitchie were standing on the staircase watching me and Justin.

"I thought they were. She was pacing when I left the room." Max replied.

Mitchie looked at me, silently asking me a question. I just shook my head. I knew why she came down with the rest of them. She was more concerned what was going to come out of my mouth than what was going to happen to Justin.

"Man, I was so hoping for a fight. I was going to bet on Abby." Alex said disappointed.

"Hey, what's makes you think that she could beat me?" Justin asked.

I crossed my arms. "Because I know I can with just barely trying."

"Yeah, right." He didn't believe me. "I'm going to be the family wizard, what makes you think that you can beat me?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe it's because I created probably about a quarter of the spells that you know and more that you haven't learned." I smiled knowing he couldn't beat that.

"You're lying." He challenged.

"Really? Maybe you should ask Professor Crumbs." He hung his head in defeat. He didn't stand a chance against me.

"Now that's what I was hoping for." Alex said from the staircase. "That was probably the best nerd fight I've seen."

"Glad I could help." I said to her.

"I've never thought I would say this to a nerd but you're the coolest one I've ever met."

"Well thank you."

"Abby, can I talk to you?" Mitchie asked me. "Alone?" I nodded. I knew exactly what she wanted to talk to me about.


I suck at subtlety so I don't know if you guys caught on to what Abby was thinking about. If not, you will learn in the next chapter as well as why she was adopted in the first place, it's not life changing or anything but i felt like it should be known.

Review please :)
