Starting Over

I woke with a yawn still on my lips and my twin sister; Rosemary yelling in my ear to get up.
"Sage! Get your ass out of bed! Today we start our new school!" Rosie pulls off my bed covers and starts jumping on my bed.
"Ok, ok I'm up Rosie! I only wanted to sleep little more blissful minutes. Is that so hard to ask for?" She gives me a look of utter disgust and I groan and start to put on my lame uniform. I notice that my sister is already dressed and is now heading out our bedroom door. How lame is this? Having to wear a stupid uniform and go to this stupid Japanese school! Why in earth did my mom send me and Rosie to live with our Aunt in Japan?! When I'm done brooding I head into the kitchen where Aunt Celeste and Rosie are eating.
"Ah, Sage it's good to see that you're up. How did you sleep?" My dear Auntie asked me, yea dear Auntie that only came once a year to visit us to teach us Japanese because that's all she'll speak to you.
"Oh just find Aunt Celeste and you how did you sleep?" I grab a piece of toast and start munching on it.
"Hmm that's good well come on girls I have to drive you to school." My Aunt totally doesn't listen to me. I look over at Rosie and she shrugs her shoulders, whatever it's not like I care what she had to say.
We all pile up into this small car that could barely fit two people let alone three. Then we just get dropped off in front of this school and before I can say anything dear Auntie is already driving off.
"Well, isn't this just great?" I say sarcastically.
"Oh come on Sage it's going to be a brand new adventure! Now let's try to find the office so we can get our class schedules!" My sister smiled this way to bright smile for me. I'm really not a morning person unlike my sister who's always Ms. Sunshine...ugh.
"Ok well, let's find someone who can tell us where to go. I look around and I see someone staring at me so I decide to head over to him.
"Ok, but who?" I start walking towards the orange head freak that's looking at me and my sister.
"Hey orange haired guy come here for a second!" He looks around and try's to run off, but I grab his arm before he can run off.
"What the hell do you want?! Let go of my arm!!" He practically growls or should I say hisses at us. I roll my eyes.
"Listen since you found me and my sister to be so fascinating I decided that you can show us where the office is. Since you must have noticed that we are new here." I tighten my grip on his arm while he continues to send me death glares.
"I'm sorry for my sister's behavior let me introduce ourselves I'm Rosemary Woods, but you can call me Rose. And this is my sister Sage Woods. Sage you can let go of his arm now." I look over at this orange haired guy and tug his arm tighter before I let go of him. He starts to walk away.
"Hey where are you going, Rosie why did you make me let go of his arm?! Now we have no idea where to go!" I sigh and look around for another person to help us.
"Hello there!" I turn and see this young girl with brown hair and blue-green eyes.
"Um, hi there." I look behind her and see the orange haired guy, and a sliver haired guy with gorgeous violet eyes.
"Hi! My name is Rosemary Woods, but you can call me Rose and this is my sister Sage Woods. We just moved here and we can't seem to find the office to get our schedules can you please direct us there?" My ever polite sister says this to these three strangers.
"Oh excuse me for not introducing myself! My name is Tohru Honda and this is Kyo Sohma motioning to the orange haired guy and this is Yuki Sohma pointing to the guy with sliver hair, who has the most beautiful face, and violet eyes. And yes I would love to show you the office!" Tohru said this while smiling this big cheerful smile; I mentally groan; why is every one so damn cheerful in the morning?!
"Thank-you so much Ms. Honda, it's so very kind and thoughtful of you to do this!" My sister mirrors Tohru's smile while I roll my eyes.
"Oh it's not problem at all, trust me! Come on let's get your schedules." I follow Tohru and my sister and Yuki and Kyo are behind me. We get our class schedules and I find out that I and Rosie are all in Tohru's classes along with Yuki and Kyo. When we get there the teacher has the 'bright' idea for Rosie and me to introduce ourselves and tell a little about our lives.
"Hi! My name is Rosemary Woods, but you can call me Rose if you want. I just moved here from America to live with my Aunt. So far Japan is very interesting, but I'm still not all used to all of the culture so I'm sorry if I say something rude or in polite! I'm really looking forward to being your new classmate." The teacher looks to me and I guess it's my turn to go.
"Hi, my name is Sage Woods and yes Rosie and I are twins. I moved here from New York City in America, with Rosie to live with our Aunt. Hmm well that's all I feel comfortable with telling you so thanks for trying to pay attention." I look around the classroom and once again my eyes are drawn to Yuki Sohma. I look to my sister and see that she's also looking to Yuki with a very happy look in her eyes.
"Very good girls now if you would take a seat, Rose Woods you can sit next to Ms. Honda and Sage Woods you may sit next to Yuki Sohma." I give my sister's hand a squeeze before I head over to my new seat.
I sit down while ignoring these three girls who are giving me death glares. The teacher then begins this long lecture about something while I was not really paying attention. I get bored so I decide to check out everyone's auras. You can find a lot of information from someone's aura. You can tell what emotions they are feeling or just what kind of person they are. It all has to deal with colors. Some really powerful auras carry music on them. My family is ones that have music notes on them, but only other witches or people who are highly sensitive can hear it. Yea my wonderful family full of witches; my Aunt actually is a very powerful healer witch. My mom who is my Aunt's sister can chant spells, spells of destruction that is. Anyway I decide to look at Yuki's aura and whoa what do I see?! He has two auras? That makes no sense! I look at the other Sohma and low and behold he has two auras too. I'm really freaking out right now.
I decide to send my sister a mental message. Which is just like sending her on of my thoughts; hopefully she won't have her wall up now and I can send her one.
Rosie? I have some strange news.
Sage, what is it? I'm trying to concentrate on the lecture.
Rosie look at the Sohma boy's auras what do you see?
Holy mother! They have two auras? What is going on here?
I have no idea, Rosie I tried to read the auras, but I can't get a read on them. They are clouded over. They are like our auras when we want to make sure no one will notice anything. I don't think they know what they are doing though. This is very confusing. Do you think we should tell Aunt Celeste?
I don't think she would know what to do, Sage. She's just a healer witch. Healers don't specialize with auras do they? I think we should try to figure this out ourselves.
But how should we do that Rosie? What do you suggest we do just become instant friends with them and ask why they have two auras? That's if they even know what an aura is.
Well, we have to try. We have to become great friends fast.
Please Rosie those Sohmas' are cold can't you feel it? I think their only friend is that Tohru girl.
Well, then Sage we'll become friends with Tohru and then friends with the Sohmas. We have a plan then right?
Yea I guess. What do we have to lose? Bye sis I'll talk to you at lunch.
Bye Sage.
