A/N hi! Thanks for the reviews, even if there were only 2, I'm sorry Dylan died, it just had to happen (I don't know why) but don't worry there will be more interesting characters coming in, this chapter in fact! The names I get from a website, I type in the meaning I want and the origin and choose a name from there, except Dylan, I just like that name, and some of the ones of the new characters! Well hope you enjoy this chapter!
Keaira sat at the table drinking some tea,
"Now remember last night I said auntie Sky is coming, well she has just had a baby boy, he's called Logan, he's only 2 months old," Morgan said, trying to catch Keaira up. "And they'll be here soon so are you going to get dressed?"
Keaira beamed at the thought of a cousin (or second cousin or whatever) and ran upstairs to get dressed, when she was half way up, she stopped.
"Mum!" she wailed running back into the kitchen; "I don't have any clothes that will fit me now!"
Moira smiled holding up a carrier bag, "here's some of my old stuff!"
When Keaira had got dressed Sky was waiting downstairs with the new baby, Logan and her husband, Mathew.
"Keaira! You've grown so much, I'm so happy to see you! This is Logan and this is Mathew, my husband!" sky stood up, taking Logan from Mathew's arms. Logan had dark hair, which he obviously got from Mathew.
"Hey Keaira, I've heard lots about ye!" Mathew said, speaking in a broad Scottish accent. Keaira grinned, hugging both Sky and Mathew.
A few hours later they were all in the living room of the cottage, except Moira who had had to go to work. They were discussing Keaira's future.
"Well I want to go to college, but I didn't get my G.C.S.E's so I can't." Keaira said, bouncing Logan on her knee.
"The local college does re-sits," said Hunter, when everyone looked at him, he blushed "I sort of rang this morning, they'd be willing to take you, you could start your classes now, but seeing as its summer, you may have to go in over the holidays to, there are re-sits at the end of each term. They have a place for you… if you want to, you can start… tomorrow"
"Tomorrow!" Morgan exclaimed, she looked at Hunter, "isn't that a bit, soon?"
"No, mum I want to go, I want to get back into a normal life, I'd like to go to tomorrow,"
The next day
Keaira woke up smiling, she'd had an encouraging dream where she had seen Dylan again, and he thought College was a good idea too. She couldn't wait!
Moira drove her there; she worked just around the corner.
"You sure you're going to be ok? I'll come and pick you up, if you need me, just phone ok?"
"I'll be fine! I'm not 3!" Keaira said and Moira smiled,
"I know, I know, I'm just protective of my little sister ok, well I'll meet you here at 4 ok?"
"Yes that's fine" Keaira said, getting out of the car and hurrying up to the gates, she went in and looked around for a place to sit, she still had a while till her first class and she wanted to read some of her book. She sat on an empty bench and pulled her book out of her bag, suddenly a blonde girl sat down next to her.
"Hey! I'm Yasmin, I haven't seen you around here, what classes are you in?" she said just as suddenly as she had sat down.
"I'm new, I'm doing re-sits," Keaira answered, trying not to be too puzzled at this girls behaviour.
"Oh!" Yasmin said, looking as if everything was suddenly clear, "you're Keaira! Aren't you? Well I won't be in any of your classes, I'm doing law" she pulled a face, "but you can sit with me and my friends at lunch if you want." Keaira nodded once she understood what Yasmin was saying.
"So has everyone heard of me?"
"Yeah of course, I mean well yeah it's kind of all round,"
"What is?" but before Yasmin could answer a bell went, signifying that classes were about to start.
"Ok well I'll see you at lunch!" Yasmin said as she walked away, smiling. Keaira sat there for a minute, wondering what everyone knew about her.
At lunch Keaira went to the canteen, it was quite busy, so she picked the smallest que and just bought a sandwich and a drink, she noticed Yasmin sitting with a bunch of people and went over,
"Is it still ok if I sit with you?" she asked, Yasmin turned round
"Keaira yeah sure, sit wherever, this is Tom, that's Bobby, Jill, Melissa and that's Ali." Keaira sat down trying to take all the names in, Tom was tall with short brown hair, Bobby was quite short with long, greasy hair in a ponytail. Jill and Melissa both had brown hair and Ali had black hair, he was the one Yasmin was talking to. Keaira saw that he seemed to like Yasmin, from the way he was looking at her.
"So Keaira," Yasmin said turning to her, "how were your classes?"
"They were ok, hard though, I erm haven't been to school in a while,"
"Yeah we know," said Jill, "so you're a witch right?"
Keaira almost choked on her sandwich, "er yeah but how does everyone…" she didn't get to finish because someone had tapped her on the shoulder. It was a tall blonde girl, but her hair wasn't the same colour as Yasmin's it was much lighter and looked very fine.
"So you're Keaira?" the girl said, Keaira nodded,
"I'm Sarah," Keaira's eyes widened, Dylan hadn't mentioned that Sarah went to this college. "I see you know who I am!" Keaira nodded again, she noticed that Sarah's hair was even paler because she was wearing all black. "Well I guess my… Dylan told you about me," she wiped her eye but Keaira couldn't see any tears, "before he died that is!"
"Well… yes he did," Sarah's eyes narrowed, and she glared at Keaira, then an equally tall, blonde boy came over, his hair was much nicer though, more like sunshine than… well whatever pale yellow looks like, it was quite long and unruly, it almost covered his eyes, he looked like a surfer or a skater. He pulled Sarah away, "come on Sarah, don't get yourself worked up," he looked at Keaira, with what looked like disgust, "why are you trying to make her upset," he said and walked away, gently pulling Sarah with him.
Keaira looked round at the others in astonishment, "what did I do?"
Yasmin smiled, "oh don't worry. That's Kai, he's really protective of Sarah, and I guess she's sad 'cause of Dylan, but she wasn't really that nice to him, I dunno, she's a bit of a drama queen really, don't worry, hey so me and Ali were talking about going to the beach tomorrow, its Saturday after all. Want to come? We could pick you up,"
"I'll have to ask but yeah I'd love to, can I have your phone number to tell you if it's ok?"
That night as Morgan, Hunter, Keaira, Sky, and Mathew were eating dinner Keaira told them how her day had gone,
"It was ok, I mean the classes were hard but I met this nice girl called Yasmin," she missed the part about Sarah in case they got worried, "and she asked me to the beach so can I go? They can pick me up,"
"Who can, I thought it was just Yasmin?" Hunter said, looking worried,
"Just some of her friends, they're quite nice but I have to get to know people, please dad, mum, auntie sky you think its ok right?"
Morgan sighed and shook her head, "oh how glad I am to have a teenager back in the house" she said sarcastically, "I suppose you can go, but you have to witch message me if you're going to be late or anything? Ok?"
"Ok, can I phone Yasmin then?" Keaira said, getting up.
"Hey Keaira, so did you enjoy college?" Dylan said, Keaira rubbed her eyes, realising she was back in the meadow,
"Wow I fell asleep quickly, I didn't think I was that tired, but yeah I liked college, except running into you girlfriend who seems to hate me,"
Dylan paled, "I'm sorry, I guess she's sad,"
"She didn't look sad, she looked angry!"
"People deal with grief differently!" Dylan said, looking a bit angry now,
"Yeah I know, I'm sorry, I just wasn't expecting it that's all, sorry D!"
Keaira woke again, it was still dark, she glowered at the ceiling, Dylan had thrown her out of her own dream, she was sure of it. She looked at the clock, 6:32 am, she groaned, knowing she would never get back to sleep, Yasmin was coming to pick her up at 9, she sighed and got up, deciding to have a shower before the day started.
A/N well hope you enjoyed it, next chapter on the way and there will be some interesting twists (I think) anyway you know the drill!
