Mirage and Dan woke early in the morning as always, because their mother went out and their father had to go see the school principle, they were left with waking everyone up. Most of the kids had alarm clocks but sometimes that didn't necessarily work.

Mirage stepped out of the bathroom in her new school uniform, the black pleated skirt went only mid thigh with the white socks went only a little above the knee, under her light green blazer was her white blouse that she had noticed was a little see through so she wore a red tank top, a matching green bow was tied around her neck loosely and her raised heel black school shoes completed the look. At the back of her head was a clipped pink bow that she was slowly starting to hate, the sleeves of her blazer were to long for her but she didn't mind.

"You punch Keith to wake up, I'll wake the others," called Dan through the door, Dan was walking into Bonnie and Clyde's room as Jack and Butch were already up. Dan wore the uniform to as he attended their high school St Luke's College. He wore long black school pants that dragged on the floor and the white school shirt, a green tie was undone around his neck and also his light green blazer was to big for him.

Mirage then walked into Keith's blue coloured room, his bed was set in the corner and around it were stray pieces of clothing, books or comics, his desk sat on the far wall next to his wardrobe and a large shelf held all of his sports trophies. A stereo was plugged in next to the door and a large pile of CDs next to it. Mirage sighed and sat on his bed, she clenched up her fist and really hard punched him in the gut, Keith mumbled and turned over exposing his back, again Mirage punched him but he did the same thing. She smirked, she knew how to wake and she only did it when it was an emergency, this could be one as he needed to make breakfast, she liked her finger and very slowly placed it in Keith's ear, "WET WILLY!" she screamed jumping off the bed giggling.

"MAI!" he screamed getting off the bed and grabbing his uniform.

"JUST HURRY UP AND HELP MAKE BREAKFAST!" she yelled back, Mirage walked into the kitchen where Jack and Butch were making sandwiches for lunch, Dan was at the stove cooking some bacon while Bonnie and Clyde were pouring orange juice. Mirage looked at the three toasters set up on the bench, grabbing the loaf of bread she started putting the bread in, grabbing a plate she waited for them to pop out. This was how breakfast was like each morning, very hectic, Keith ran down the stairs almost tripping on Jack's skateboard, he grabbed a pan and started cracking eggs, the rest of the kids came down Shawn and Johanna carrying Joe and Jo, they carefully placed them in the highchairs getting their baby food ready.

Ten minutes later they were all eating passing plates around and talking, "how are we getting to school?" Asked Jack to his mother as she had come back halfway through the meal.

"I'm taking you, Keith, Mirage and Dan will be walking or you can ride with Keith," replied Lucy finishing up her juice.

"I'm walking," Mirage said picking up her plate and dropping it in the sink, she grabbed her green school bag and walked to her room to pile in books. She looked at her clock it was eight o'clock and school wouldn't start for another forty five minutes, it would take her twenty minutes to walk to the school, "I'm going now, bye," she said walking out the door.

Keith and Dan looked at each other and ran after her pulling their bags with them, "bye," they said slamming the door behind them.

"Oi, wait up," huffed Dan, "these pants aren't made for running," he muttered slowing down to walk beside his sister, "I have this feeling I won't like this school, just a gut feeling you know, like some stuff may happen," Dan took his bag off and zipped up one of the pockets that he forget to close.

"You always have a gut feeling," Keith wiped his hand through Dan's hair making it spiky, "that is way cooler, don't you think so Mai?" he asked looking at his sister.

"Yes way cooler," she said emotionlessly, "a little gel does wonders," she muttered sarcastically, redoing her hair clip.

"Hey wait up!" called someone from behind them.

They turned around and looked at Bobby, Dash and Tyrone jogging towards them, "hey," they all greeted turning back around again to continue walking.

"That uniform doesn't suit you," said Tyrone flinging his bag over his shoulder, "know who's class your in?" he asked poking at the bow on her head.

"Ten Silver," Mirage replied swiping at his hand, "leave the bow alone," she muttered glaring at him.

"Our class, this makes it easier to show you around, we have PE today with your dad, is he strict?" asked Dash rubbing his hands through his blonde hair.

"Don't know," replied Dan, "better question are the school and teachers strict?"

"Not all of them and we have an annoying vice principle cause Mr D had to go to some other school to see it's progress so were left with her," Tyrone pointed at a tall thin women with red hair that was in a very tight bun.

"She anorexic?" asked Keith looking at the women; she was standing at the gate telling students off about uniform (this happens at my school and it's very annoying).

"Dan wait," mumbled Mirage grabbing her brother by the shoulder and turning him around, "don't get in her bad books yet," she warned doing up his tie.

"Thanks," Dan said, "but I don't get in trouble it's always you and Keith," he reminded turning around and walking to the school gates.

Keith and Mirage looked at each other smirking, "wonderful how the family looks at us eh?" Keith said, "how big is this place?" he exclaimed looking up at the triple storey white building, an iron wrought gate surrounded the perimeter and large trees stood in inside the gate almost like trying to stop eyes from looking inside.

As they entered the school grounds a voice from behind them said sternly, "your shoes are untied Miss Oliveri and may I have that ring on your finger jewellery is not a part of uniform regulations," the vice principle held out her hand expecting Mirage to hand over the ring.

"Sorry Ma'am but this is my engagement ring and in not allowed to take it off," lied Mirage a look of pure innocence on her face.

The boys around her nearly gagged, "yes?" the red haired lady turned to the young men behind her.

"Sorry but no one was supposed to know about that, you told her," lied Keith turning to Mirage almost smirking.

"Miss Lei we only have twenty five minutes to let them get settled in, could we show them around now?" Dash said his arms held behind his back.

Miss Lei made a gesture and Dash and Tyrone started ushering them away from the women, "you are great liars," Tyrone poked Dan in the shoulder.

They all shrugged, "runs in the family, Butch and Jack are perhaps the best," replied Dan.

"No I'd say Mai was, they learnt all the tricks from her," corrected Keith.

"Hey I come up with the plans and I have help doing it so I'll just say it just runs in the family," Mirage sighed and grabbed Dash, "now please explain very carefully where my locker is so I can get these heavy books out of my bag," Mirage motioned to the bag on her back that was quite full.

"Sure come," said Dash walking towards the building, "you planning to have lunch with us cause we hang around the trees, over there," Dash pointed to a patch of very large trees at the far end of the left side of the school. In the distance was a sports stadium and a gymnasium, basket ball courts were to their right as were a few outdoor tables, "the gym and the office is the door on the left wall, that's where you go to hand in phones or forms and stuff, staff room and first aid is in there too."

"Have you ever thought of being a tour guide?" asked Keith, following him.

"Our lockers are on this floor," they were on the second floor of the building, "Keith your locker is up stairs cause this floor is for year tens and nines, seven and eights downstairs and elevens and twelves up there," Dash pointed towards the ceiling and Keith nodded making his way to the stairs.

"Dan you locker will be around here the year nine area, just keep walking down this side of the lockers and you'll find it in no time, come Mirage your locker should be next to mine," said Tyrone pushing the door open that lead to the year ten area, "ladies first," Tyrone bowed and Mirage giggled walking into the area.

The main hallway was full of blue lockers, kids were talking or running around, a group of boys were throwing a football around, many doors lead to different homerooms and classrooms, "if you have any advanced classes there more likely to be in one of these homerooms or up stairs, we'll show you to your classes," Dash walked forwards and reached a bunch of lockers, "right here your locker, Tyrone has the locker above you, just beware cause his books always seem to fall out and if he's clumsy enough he'll end up dropping his lock on your head," Dash looked wearily at Mirage and went to his locker which was next hers. (I always get the bottom locker so I'm used to getting things dropped on my head.)

Mirage kneeled down and unlocked her locker, it had enough room inside for her books and some other stuff, slowly she took out her books and piled them inside, grabbing a photo and a few pictures she started decorating the sides of her locker, "just like my old locker," she smiled, she pulled out a cracked mirror that she brought she stuck it to the side.

"We better get in for homeroom," said Dash who was leaning against his locker waiting for Mirage, "you ready?" he asked looking at Mirage.

"No," she muttered shaking her head thoughtfully.

"You girl with the black hair and coloured fringe, Miss Oliveri?" called out a teacher that stumbled spilling half her coffee on the floor.

"Yes Miss?" Mirage asked turning to face the teacher, her hands full of books. The teacher looked to be in her mid twenties and had light teal hair and amber eyes, she was wearing a tight navy formal skirt and a light blue blouse.

"Mr Tithe and Mr Cupulet you can go to homeroom, I just need to have a few words to her," smiled the teacher.

"Be gentle with her Miss Milan," said Tyrone entering the classroom, "we'll save you a seat Mirage," he said before the door closing blocked his voice.

Mirage turned back to the teacher, "Miss Oliveri welcome to St Luke's College, I'm Miss Milan your homeroom teacher I also teach advanced math, if you're having any trouble you can come to me, so yeah um…welcome, now follow me," Miss Milan rushed a greeting and entered the classroom that suddenly fell quite.

All the eyes turned to Mirage who entered almost gliding into the room, she faced the class with an emotionless face looking at her new classmates, Tyrone and Dash were sitting by a window near the back, one other face she remembered, a handsome blue haired boy, 'Kai goes here' she thought surprised.

Kai looked at the girl and his eyes widened, 'I knew I'd see her again, wow she hasn't changed at all (not exactly like anyone changes in a few days Kai, (that's me talking))' Kai was looking the girl up and down smiling at the girl.

Mirage didn't smile back but nodded her head slightly at him, "so Mirage is it okay if the class asks questions?" the teacher turned to the new student.

"Sure," she replied, "um…kid with the blue hair?" she pointed to a boy that had long blue hair in a ponytail.

"Tyson," he said, "how old are you?" Tyson asked leaning forward.

"Sixteen," she answered in a bored voice, "Tyrone?" she sighed.

"Your hair is that natural, I mean the fringe?"

"Well my hair was changing colours after my sister was born, so yeh it's natural blue, pink and purple, kid with the bright red hair?" Mirage tilted her head to the side.

"You got a boyfriend?" he asked, "and it's Tala to you babe," he smirked leaning back on his chair.

Mirage smiled as she saw Kai glare at the red haired boy, "that's classified, Tala," she smirked and saw another hand go up near the back.

"Names Crystal, listen do like these school uniforms?" asked a girl with blonde hair in a sky blue ribbon.

"I think I'll say no, I don't like to be forced to wear something I don't want to, it also deprives one of their individuality," Mirage replied smiling at the girl.

"You smart?" asked Tala still leaning in his seat, "and what hobbies do you like?"

"I don't know, all I know is that I'm smarter than my younger brothers and sisters, and I like target practice like throwing knives or shooting arrows, playing video games with my siblings, track, hockey, rollerblading, riding my motorbike and staying far away from my little sister, oh and playing pranks, playing pranks rules," Mirage said enthusiastically.

"So you can be like dangerous, if you throw knives or shoot arrows?" asked a girl from the front.

"Can you show us?" asked Tyson getting interested, "but like throw something else, like a pen see if you can get it to go through the gap between my fingers," Tyson got up and put his hand on the wall spreading apart his fingers.

"Use a paper clip!" shouted Kai from his seat next to Tala.

Mirage turned towards him smirking, "if you want me to use a paper clip why don't you take Tyson's position," Mirage watched Kai decide.

Kai nodded and got up and stood where Tyson stood, Mirage fumbled in her bag and pulled out a paper clip and straightened it out, "you ready?" Kai nodded and Mirage aimed quickly the paper clip flew through the air and soft thump sounded, the paper clip landing in the gap between Kai's fingers.

Kai breathed out and looked back at Mirage, "wow how long did it take you to become that good?" asked the teacher gathering up her books as the bell for first period went.

"Since I was little," she replied turning back to the front waiting for Dash and Tyrone.

Kai came forwards and whispered softly, "meet me behind the gym," he turned away and walked towards his friend, Mirage starred at his back.

"Come we got science," said Dash pulling on her arm.
