First in class, we have Science, Math, and History. The last class before lunch is gym.
Some of the boys in our class come up to my brother and I and say, "Nice job messing with the teacher, that was hilarious!"
I frown and mutter, "Um…thanks…I think. But we weren't kidding, I am a girl."
They stare at me and grin, "Shall be settle this in the changing room?"
Ethan looks at me worriedly but I pat his head and whisper, "Don't worry. They won't see anything."
In the boys locker room, most of they guys from my class keep their eyes on me. I quickly take off my shirt and pants, leaving on my leggings and tank top.
I place my hands on my hips and growl, "Happy now, perverts?" They all stare at me wide eyed and I say to Ethan, "Give me your spare gym clothes."
He throws them to me and I swiftly put them on. Before I leave, one guy grabs my arm and says, "If you wore a skirt, you would actually be very cute."
I glance at him and in a flash, I grab his arm and throw him over my shoulder.
I bare my teeth and growl, "I will seriously hurt you the next time you speak to me like that."
Then, I exit the room, sitting down against the wall outside the door.
I hug my knees and rest my eyes. I hear the door slid open and Ethan's best friend, Leo, comes out.
He sits beside me and smiles, "Great job standing up to those jerks on your first day."
I nod and avoid eye contact. We are silent for a moment but then Leo asks, "Umm….how am I supposed to tell you and your brother apart?"
I glance up at him and smile, "Look closely at my teeth."
I open up really wide and Leo leans closer. He examines my teeth but then says, "Hmmmm…..you got fangs, right?"
I wink and say, "Bingo. Either that or ask me what gender I am."
He smiles in return and the other guys finally come out of the locker room, keeping a good distance away from me.
Ethan is the last one out and he pulls me aside. He then whispers in my ear, "You are needed in the other realm, miss healer."
I nod and pat him on the head, replying back softly, "No need to address me so formally, brother."
He nods sadly and whispers again, "I know that you are my sister, but I have to respect you. You are my sister who was born in the other realm, you are miss healer. The wisdom to know all."
I smile sadly and peck him a kiss on his forehead, "I won't be back as soon as I would like. Be good, and keep Leo out of trouble."
Ethan smirks, "I didn't know you had that much interest in my best friend."
I whack him on the back of the head and hiss, "Get going, make a diversion."
He ruffles my hair and runs off to the others.
I watch quietly as Ethan approaches the others. Suddenly, he fake faints and I consider that as my signal.
While everyone is distracted, I open a small portal on the wall. I glance back at him and Ethan winks at me, I smile good-bye. I quickly step through the portal and fall into darkness, closing my eyes to pass the time.
