I turned to face the two new strangers who were currently speaking with Caleb and Reid. I turned back to my family only to have a shirt shoved in my face by a very tense looking Jonathon. I rolled my eyes but put the oversized black t on.

"Raidon's fault" I pointed out. Raidon rolled his eyes and climbed into the van. I watched them disappear along the road in a cloud of dust. It doesn't get much cornier than that. Now fully clothed I turned yet again to Caleb, Reid, and Mysterious Stranger #1, and Mysterious Stranger #2. Jon, Steven, Jacob, and James had already joined their little group and were talking with them. Me 'n Bella walked up to their little group and shared a look when we realized it was, yet again, very possible we'd be the only girls. I groaned, I love guys and everything and would rather be with them than girls, but too much of a good thing is way bad, like when you eat two entire chocolate cakes, 14 chocolate éclairs, and 6 chicken nuggets. Or maybe I'm the only one who's done that…Whatever, and then all of the sudden Mysterious Stranger #1 gaze just seemed to be pulled over to me, what am I magnetic? He nudged Caleb who looked over at me, which of course got the attention of my all-seeing brothers.

"Oh, guys these are my sisters Ana and Bella" James said hurriedly "'Letty, Bella, this is Pogue and Tyler"

"So is your name Ana or 'Letty?" Pogue asked his brow furrowed

"Ana" I said firmly " 'Letty's just a stupid nickname that I can't get rid of" Steven quickly explained the name ordeal, while I stood there with an infinitely bored look on my face. After that, there was a lull in the conversation so I suggested we hit the pool for a couple of laps before we crashed. Caleb, Pogue, Reid, and Tyler looked surprised that we were the ones to bring swimming up.

"Actually we're all swimmers," Caleb said motioning to his friends.

"Any of you swim freestyle or breaststroke?" I asked quickly, those were my best strokes, but even those I wasn't the best at

"Caleb's freestyle and I'm breaststroke" Reid said " you any good?"

" I like to compete, but I'm not the best. However, I'll kick your ass in baseball, hockey, or lacrosse. In swimming Nick will give you a run for your money" I said, shrugging at the beginning. Before we headed towards the pool, I hoped on my new bike and pulled it around to the front of the school parking lot. Pogue was looking at my bike admiringly; I guess he's a motorcycle guy. I ran up to my room to grab a towel and hoodie with Caleb and Reid tagging along, they wanted to see whom I was rooming with. I'd already told them it was Kira-someone and they'd wanted to see if it was the Kira they were thinking of. I bet she was, that'd just be my fucking luck. Running into my room, I grabbed a hoodie, boy shorts, and a towel. Kira was sitting on her bed playing with her laptop. Caleb and Reid poked their heads in to see if it was the Kira of ill repute, judging by the way that they yanked their heads out of my room I'd say that was yes. Unfortunately for them Kira had seen them,

"Caleb? Is that you? I knew you'd come around eventually," she said, flirting

"You wish" Reid muttered

"Reid too? Wow, a threesome never sounded so good," she said leaning back against her bed twirling her hair flirtily. They stepped into the room awkwardly, there wasn't much more they could do now. Throwing my stuff into my messenger bag I headed for the door, pulling my hair back into a ponytail, I motioned to Caleb and Reid that they could leave now. They fricken bolted! Kira looked really confused

"They were just waiting for me, not coming to see you," I said when I was at the doorway "Apparently someone from the Detroit public is good enough to hang with them" I said before shutting the door behind myself. Kira was probably gaping like a fish at my back, not too bright that one…

It turns out that Spenser has an amazing pool. I went up on the diving board and took a deep breath positioning myself on the diving board. I dove off backwards, doing a couple of flips before entering the water vertically. I stayed underwater and swam to the side of the pool, popping my head up when I was right next to the edge.

"Pfft…6" James said from the edge of the pool

"5" Steven said before jumping in. I rolled my eyes, they were never impressed. The other guys, minus my family, obviously were, they were staring at me like some new and fascinating species of bug, a six-headed bug. God I hate it when people stare. Caleb snapped out of it first and elbowed the others who followed suit.

" Where's you learn do dive like that Baby Girl?" Reid said still a little dumbfounded

"Mickey Mouse taught me, he's really quite the athlete," I said sarcastically, Reid shot me a look, which I shot right back at him.

"I taught myself," I said after a moment " I've never competed so I don't know how I measure up, the only comparison I've got is the summer Olympics, which I am far from."

"How come you never competed?" Pogue asked as if he was frustrated with me; wait until he got to know me better! I glanced over at Bella and Tyler, who were goofing around and talking. He was cute, and completely Bella's type, the complete opposite of my type.

"Swimming and hockey are the same season, and swimming doesn't exactly let me get out my anger issues like hockey does" I said going back under the water before the interrogation could continue. I did a couple of laps before stopping at the edge again to rub my eyes. I don't have goggles so my eyes were burning out of my skull by now.

"That my friend is why you should always wear goggles," Reid said pointing at my eyes. I glared at him having twice the effect I usually do. You ever seen someone with blue eyes, get the whites of their eyes really red? The person looks like the devil incarnate.

"Bite Me," I said pulling myself out of the pool

"Anytime, anyplace Baby Girl" Reid said earning glares and growls from my brothers and Jonathon, I chuckled not many guys were that brave. I got out all the way and walked to get my towel, I could feel the eyes of Caleb, Pogue, and Reid on me and chose to ignore.

However, when Reid started whistling, I turned and flipped him off. He didn't seem particularly affected by the gesture, but I couldn't think of anything better to do.

"See you guys in a minute" I said laughing to myself over Reid's shenanigans, I turned and headed towards the girl's locker room where I stashed my stuff earlier. When Bella got into the locker room we separated, we knew from long experience that she took a lot longer than I did. I pulled off my black bikini top and little black shorts to get into my underwear, then the boy shorts and hoodie. I slid into my skate shoes and was redoing my ponytail when I walked out of the girls locker room about a minute later, hey when you swim as much as I did back home, you get really good at the whole quick change thing. Everyone else was still getting changed so I just sat on the bench waiting for them.

-THIRD PERSON P.O.V.-

"So you guys are from Michigan, right?" Tyler asked staring to get changed

"Yeah" Steven replied "we went to a public school in Detroit before the move"

"Why'd you move?" Pogue asked pulling on his jeans

"Parents thought it was time we got a better education" James picked up where Steven had left off "All of our parents got together and decided they wanted us in a school that would help us get into an Ivy league school. Steven's parents even flew in from Africa to help make the decision"

"Africa?" Caleb asked raising his eyebrows at Steven

"Yeah they got a job offer there when I was twelve, Jon, Bella, and Dawn were already living with the twins, and my parents being close friends with Claire and R.J. I got to stay and live with them." Steven said while he was tying his shoes

"Wait, so how are you all related?" Pogue asked trying to follow

"'Letty's my cousin, Bella and Dawn are my little sisters, Jacob and James are 'Letty's younger brothers, Raidon and James are her older brothers. Steven's my best friend and before this we all lived together with the twins' parents" Jonathon said shrugging on his jacket

"What about your parents dude?" Reid asked looking at Jonathon

"My mum's dead, my father moved back here to Massachusetts afterwards, leaving me and the girls to live with Claire and R.J." Jon said shortly. The Sons collectively winced and let the subject drop. They all walked out of the locker room fully clad and in single file. The Sons jumped a little bit to see Ana and Bella already sitting there, Ana reading a book as if she'd been there a while.

-ANA'S P.O.V.-

Took their bloody time! Bella was already out, her makeup perfectly in place. I waited five minutes then pulled out Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller and was now halfway through it, though it wasn't exactly the longest book. I lurched to my feet and joined them in walking towards the door; Bella got up gracefully, as she always does, from next to me and joined us as well. We got to the dorms then separated to our respective rooms. My dorm room was pretty close to Bella's so we continued walking now all alone.

"Somebody has a crush on Tyler" I said in a singsong voice, she'd been staring at her shoes and smiling ever since we split from everyone else, a dead giveaway for Bella

"Yup" Bella said then giggled, she'd never been one to lie about her feelings, a trait I greatly envied, and I always lied about mine "I really hope we get to know them better" she said then trailed off
