AUTHOR'S NOTE: If you're reading my fan fiction Then She Came Along right now, too. Don't freak out. I usually work on five or six stories at once so I'm going to work on this one and my other one at the same time.
Sixteen-year-old Rebekah Baxter turned and looked out the window of the family car. Her brothers, Ezekiel and Jason, were fighting beside her. Seventeen-year-old Ezekiel was trying to read his Current Science magazine and ten-year-old Jason was wanting to play travel chess with him.
"Please, Ezekiel," Jason said.
"No, Jason!" Ezekiel snapped. "Shut up and leave me alone I'm trying to read."
There was a reason that Rebekah didn't fit in with the rest of her brothers. Or the rest of her genius family. Rebekah had been adopted by the Baxter's after child service's found her eating out of trashcans and sleeping in dumpsters when she was six-and-a-half. "Rebekah" wasn't really her name. Her real name was Marcella Anne-Louise Jalessa Rain Williams. But everyone called her "Rebekah" for some strangely odd reason!
"Boys, settle down," Professor Matthew Baxter said. "We're almost to our new house."
"Yeah!" Jason said. Jason turned around in his seat and picked up the small aquarium where his pet scorpion, Scorpio, was kept. "Did you hear that, Scorpio? We're almost to our new house!"
"Put that ugly thing back, Jason," Dr. Corrine Baxter said. She dreaded scorpions and anything else that crawled around.
Jason looked at Rebekah. "Can't it's too late to take, Bekah back," he said.
"Jason!" Dr. Baxter exclaimed, as Rebekah punched him in the arm. Pain shot through his arm due to the large ruby ring that Rebekah never took off. "Rebekah!"
Rebekah glared daggers into the back of her mother's head and back to Jason. Jason shut his mouth and looked down at Scorpio.
"Look, guys," Professor Baxter said, pointing. "There's your new school. Degrassi Community School."
Rebekah looked out and rolled her eyes. "Whoop-dee-doo," she said, while the boys stared at it like it was the most amazing thing that they had ever seen.
Professor Baxter rounded the corner to a large house with a FOR SALE sign out in the front yard.
