Chapter 2 New Being

My eyes flew open in shock I was still here, still in Wolverhampton. It wasn't real it was a dream, a dream about London, my home. I dreamt that we hadn't moved here, that Claire wasn't pregnant (pregnant with a baby that wasn't my dad s) I dreamt I was at school with Connor (the best friend I never said goodbye to)

Wait? School crap I start at my new school today time to you know meet new people and make no friends. I got up, changed into my new uniform and went downstairs. Seeing my parents I completely ignored them, along with my empty stomach, grab my bag and walk out the door that was when I saw her.

I didn't know her of course but I could tell she was beautiful, in her own way, I could tell her personality was twice as much so and most importantly she was friendly. This I got while she had her head in a book, completely unaware of me.
Well that is until I coughed -lousy lungs- she looked up at me then closed her book and came over.

You live next door, don t you? she asked in a quiet voice, why was she asking me that she didnt know me from Eve.
Um yes I just moved in I answered.
Oh well my name is Summer Please to meet you Louise I smiled shaking her proffered hand.
So what school are you going to? Colton Hills, do you know it? Yes I go there myself Awesome I laughed. It truly was awesome, summer was my type of friend; up for a laugh but also kind of shy because she didn't talk much on the way to school. She did however talk about the school saying it d be easier to keep myself to myself and that s what I plan on doing anyway.

Do you have many friends? I asked Not many just two she answered with a smile, a smile that suggested she loved having just two friends.
What re their names? Kyle and Tyler So is one of them your boyfriend? I laughed, she laughed to.
Yes Kyle is...and Tyler is brother then she ran ahead before I could have asked another question and I saw she ran straight to a boy, I guessed that he was Kyle from the way he responded to her, and this boy was really cute. He reminded me of an American actor that every girl wanted to be with. His eyes were ocean blue with a green tint and his hair was cut short, spiked up and blacker than night.

I could tell by looking at the two of them that they were meant to be together -Kyle and Summer were soul mates- it was like nothing in the world could break them, next thing I know Summer had taken Kyle s hand and was dragging him towards me.
Louise this is she looked up at him at smiled Kyle she finished eventually looking back at me.
Pleased to meet you I smiled, trying to be kind all I got in return was a small smile and an almost guard like nod.
Where s Tyler? summer asked completely unaware of his response or just very familiar to his responses around people.
He already gone to class you know how he is Kyle sang. Yes sang his voice was like an exotic never before heard songbird it was beautiful.
Me, Summer and Kyle walked to class together with Summer promising to watch out for me today, she had Kyle show me to my first class I don t think he minded to much because it made her happy which was maths (oh yippee) I said goodbye to Kyle and Summer at the door, with a curt nod, and made a B-line for a chair at the very back to class.
By time class let out for break I was about ready to scream with boredom. On my way out I bumped into Summer guess she was serious about looking out for me and of course Kyle, it would be wrong to say he stuck to her side like a pet dog, because the guy was no dog (more like a bodyguard)

Hey! How was your first two classes? Summer greeted along with a slightly warmer smile then before from Kyle, - I guess Summer noticed before and had his balls about it or he felt sympathy for my bored features I prefer the latter .I HATE PEOPLES SYMPATHY.
Horrible, boring I sighed. Summer laughed and sighed when she noticed I was serious, but it was Kyle who said something about, which I wasn't expecting.
Yeah school can do that

Hey guys an angel voice called from an unseen place. Summer, Kyle and I looked around to find where the voice of heaven had come from.
Tyler Summer and Kyle spoke in perfect unison, about time bro Kyle said jokingly.
It took me a while longer to spot the mysterious angel, but when my eyes met his, I was doomed.
I couldn't look away, my entire focus was upon him. My mind was a swirl with him, of how this .this beautiful man ( because he was too perfect to be a mere boy) was Kyle s brother, of how his eyes watching mine watch his told me all I needed to know. Tyler, as Summer had called him, was beautiful almost godlike, clearly loving and caring very outta sorts with the kids around him in this school.

I couldn't help but take in every detail about him; eyes that were identical to Kyle s (a clear sign of their relation surly?) deep luxurious chocolate brown hair that had a just outta bed look, rather than his brothers clearly pampered spikes. The biggest detail by far was the comparison between the brothers uncountable beauty, Kyle was undoubtedly handsome a really eye catching man who would probably have every girl in the school falling at his knees, if not for Summer s love. However Tyler was much more his beauty ran not just skin deep but to the very core, (I don t know how, I just knew it) he was like a god a god of Olympus, that should be commemorated in Marble.

My mind was barely processing his presence when he decided to finally reach us and greet me. Hello Tyler greeted with a smile that melted my very soul. Unaware of what I was doing I could just make out a rather heavily sighed WOW leave my lips completely embarrassing myself through my haze I could clearly make out the sound, of what I thought to be Summer giggling at my stupidity. Thankfully Kyle stepped in and filled the awkward silence.
Tyler this is Louise. Thank you Kyle I saw him shoot Kyle a look I couldn't understand but she doesn t like being called Louise he turned to me and smiled once again. Although it didn't affect me the same way this time his statement had sobered me up.
How how did you know that? I asked barely containing a laugh.
Quite clearly from your face Lou-Lou my brother is so unaware of that hilariously horrid face you pulled when he stated my birth name.

Be careful Tyler Kyle warned his brother in a whisper I barely heard. Tyler turned and shared yet another look with his brother, this one seeming a little more threatening, then turned around and walked away. I grabbed hold of Kyle s arm to stop him following straight away, what have I done to you? I asked, my voice slowly filling with poisonous anger.
Excuse me? Why? Why did you tell Tyler to be careful? I did that for your sake, I promise I know u don t believe me but you will he answered quietly.
Why what s the matter with me? You don t know me you can t be judging and deciding for me There s nothing wrong with you Louise . It s just my brother is very dangerous for you to be near. I let go of his arm and walked away. Maybe he was right, maybe I d only seen what I wanted and Tyler really was dangerous, and maybe it would be easier if I stayed away from all three of them. Easier...Easier.
Louise, Louise please wait Summer called after me I turned around What? Maybe your idiot of a boyfriend is right I screamed maybe he is too dangerous for me he didn't mean it like that he was just looking out for his brother I m sorry Louise I didn't mean to upset you

You didn't upset me I m upset with myself what? I was confused why was I saying this to a boy who I hardly knew and why was I hanging out with people I didn't know? We went outside and Tyler was waiting for Kyle & Summer, I tried to turn away but Summer grabbed my arm and started pulling me toward him. When Tyler saw me he turned his gaze away toward Kyle and of course Kyle shot me a warning/worried glance like he knew something bad was going to happen, if I went anywhere near his brother.

I tried to twist under Summer s grip so I could walk away stay away keep Kyle from worrying his ass off. That however was not fates plan or Summer s at least - Summer gripped me harder so I couldn't get away. I shot Kyle a glance and he mouthed thank-you I tried I mouthed back I know he whispered Summer looked at him and he smiled, then she looked at me I could feel a blush rising to my cheeks. Then I noticed we had arrived in front of Tyler but he kept his gaze completely off of me I bet I could figure out why.

Hello Kyle, Summer he greeted his brother and his girlfriend Don t forget Louise Summer told him quietly eventually he looked at me hello said the hardest voice ever. I knew he was being careful trying his best to not be friendly for his brothers sake, believe in his brother s words too dangerous for you to be near to was clear from his actions.
Summer can you let go of my arm please? I asked quietly. She let go and I started to walk away.
You could have been more of a gentleman Tyler! Summer said behind my retreating back Summer you know I can t do that, she can t know what Kyle and I are

That was the last thing I heard as I walked out of ear shot, so I used the silence to untangle my thoughts. I have no idea what the hell happened to my plan to stick to the shadows, stay away from people because now I knew three people and one of them didn't like me at all, to top it off he was supposedly too dangerous to be around (that I didn't believe at all) If he was truly that dangerous he should have said something but all he said is that I can t know what he and Kyle were. Lucky for him I didn't want to know and I would have tried to keep away from them to make everyone s life easier but it didn't matter anyway, I didn t belong here I was stuck here because of my mother, I reminded myself.

The rest of the day was a lot better. I found my way around school easier, then again I guess I did see Summer, Kyle and Tyler at dinner but I didn't talk to them. Keeping to the plan, keep myself to myself. When the day ended Summer walked home with me.
Louise, I m sorry about Kyle and Tyler she apologised once we were near our houses.
Hey it s okay, I mean I did just start there and I just started talking to complete strangers like I d known them all my life. I assured her.
Still they should I cut her off with one held up hand.
Don t Summer, they were looking after each other like family should

Before she could say anything else I opened my door and went inside. I dropped my bag and went into the kitchen to raid the refrigerator for something to drink.
How was school? asked James from behind me making me jump Okay I guess That bad huh? he said laughing I sighed yeah I walked out of the kitchen and went to do homework in my room, I didn't get far before I decided to phone Connor and of course got his voicemail, so I left a message.
I didn't say goodbye so I'm saying it now goodbye Connor"
