-Chapter One-
"I can't believe you're leaving us, Vi," a female soccer player with long, dark brown, curly hair and brown eyes by the name of Kia Amanda Marie Crew, stated as she and two of her other friends watched their best friend, Viola Nevaeh Elizabeth Marie Isabella Hastings, pack up her black duffle bag that had a Northern Carolina blue NC symbol on the very front of it and her Louis Vuitton (LV) suitcases.
Sighing, the blonde haired, brown eyed, soccer player turned towards her best friends, Kia, Yvonne Elena Saint James, and Paul Jonathan Antonio. "Guys, you know…"
"We know, El, we know," Yvonne, also a soccer player like Viola and Kia with long, dark brown curly hair and brown eyes, and tanned skin interrupted her, already knowing what she was gonna tell them.
"It's just sad that's all Bethy, we'll miss you tons," Paul, a male with brown hair and blonde highlights, and blue eyes; told Viola, as he and the other two girls pouted together.
"Aw, Mandy, Vonnie, Nate," Viola said using her nicknames for the three, "I'm gonna miss you guys too, but I'm sure I'll see you guys whenever I can like I know you guys will do the same. Just promise to call me and to stay out of trouble until I'm with you guys again, deal?"
"Deal!" The three said before looking at each other and then jumping off her massive four poster bed to pounce on her, sending them all to the floor in fits of laughter.
"What in the hell was that?" Viola's twin brother, Sebastian Andrew Joshua Ryan Hastings, asked as he threw open her double in-swing French glass doors that had blue curtains on them. He then laughed as he spotted his little sister and her friends on the floor, and with a smirk he screamed before joining them, "Pig Pile on Lala."
"Sebastian, not helping!" Viola grunted at her brother who just laughed along with her best friends.
"What in the bird is going on up here?" Viola and Sebastian heard their mom, Daphne Manning dressed in a yellow skirt and jacket suit, say causing them to laugh more because of her crazy and almost lady like expression. "Viola, Sebastian, get up off the floor please!"
"Yeah, Drew, Mandy, Vonnie, Nate get off of me," Viola told them still laughing right along with them before they got up and started helping each other off.
"Viola, darling your hair!" Daphne exclaimed in shock, not having seen her daughter with blonde hair when she first walked into the house earlier with her friends for when she left for the first day of school her hair was the same color as her brother's dark brunette, but with blonde highlights.
Saving his sister, Sebastian quickly looked at his Rolex before saying, "Hey Mom, we need to get the rest of our stuff in our cars so we can leave for school."
"Huh?" Daphne asked before looking at her watch from Tiffany and Co. (T&Co.) before a hand flew up towards her mouth. Putting it down she said, "Of course, of course, you don't want to be late for check-in at Illyria."
As soon as the twins' mom left Viola's room, they all laughed again and Viola thanked her brother for the save, knowing that she would owe him when the time was right. They all then started to take Sebastian and Viola's stuff out to their cars which were their birthday presents this summer – Sebastian's a birch white HUMMER H2 Sports Utility Truck (SUT) and Viola's a Brilliant black with black roofed 2011 Audi S5 Cabriolet (convertible) with black leather seating and interior.
"I still can't believe your dad bought you guys these cars," Kia told them after they finished packing up the cars.
"Correction, Dad got Viola's car because she's Daddy's Baby Girl," Sebastian said as he put his last piece of luggage in his SUT – his black guitar case that had his acoustic guitar in it.
"Just like mom got yours, you…" Viola said before the other three joined her with smirks, "Mamma's Boy."
"I hate you four," Sebastian said as he glared at them while his sister put in her last, small but most important piece of luggage in her convertible – her soccer ball.
"We love you too Sebastian," all four of them replied with smiles.
"And we'll miss you," the three replied to Sebastian each hugging him and wishing him luck on not getting kicked out of another school before they hugged Viola tightly with tears in each of their eyes.
Pulling away from her friends unwillingly, she slipped on her black acrylic, Gucci logo detailed sunglasses over her eyes and straightened out her grey, long sleeve, solid thermal henley from Aéropostale (Aéro); the black solid, lace trim cami from Aéro underneath the shirt; and pulled up her light wash, denim bermuda shorts from Aéro that slipped down off of her hips a little bit from all of the hugging and tugging suitcases. Also topping off her outfit was her metallic black, rubber flip flops from Old Navy (ON) and her black leather 'Galaxy' medium top handle handbag from Gucci.
"Darlings, you need to get going now," Daphne informed her twins, who both nodded and hugged everyone each time again before getting in their cars. Daphne and the other three all laughed as each twin rolled down the passenger side front seat windows and asked at the same time how to get to the school because they totally forgot to print out directions. With a smile, she told her babies, "Just type in the name of the school in one the GPS's and you'll find your way if you follow the one with the GPS's directions you'll get there just fine. I love you two and call me when you get there to inform me that you arrived safely. Don't forget that you both promised to attend the Debutant Carnival this weekend."
"Yeah, sure thing mom," Sebastian replied as he typed in the name of the school before telling his mom and the others that he would he would see them later.
"Love you guys," Viola told them as she plugged her other new birthday present, this one from her mom, into the stereo's iPod and iPhone integration system that was connected to the car's Bang & Olufsen Sound System. Smiling, she scrolled through the songs on the iPod portion of her black iPhone until she found Lady Gag's song Bad Romance and pressed play. Letting Gaga's voice blast through the loud speakers causing her mom to cringe, just what she was hoping for seeing as she wouldn't be able to do it again until the weekend.
Seeing her brother signal for her to get ready to pull out after him and to follow him, she waved once more to her mom and friends before she pulled out onto the road with her twin, headed for her old school's – Cornwall's – rival school, Illyria Prep High School, a school that was an hour and half away from their house and their life back home, where they grew up.
