Britney POV

It's strange to be in a world where nothing is ever normal, where everything has a specific purpose. Where nothing is ever normal or how it seems to the naked eye. Sometimes it's even stranger when I use magic or when my older brother, Paul, turns into a giant furry wolf whenever he wants.

I can look past most things since I've lived in weird my whole life but I was about to be a sophomore in high school. You would think what that has got to do with anything; well it's got to do with everything. My parents are finally letting me go to the school for gifted kids and I can finally be around kids who can do what I do, that includes my best friend.

Kamely Black has been my best friend since I could remember. We do everything together and I consider her more of a sister than a friend, the only problem we have is that our older brothers don't like each other much. They always get into fights with each other or call each other rude names; they even try to keep us apart sometimes. Of course I can always get Paul to change his mind and Kamely being Jake's soft spots she too usually changes his mind.

I looked out the window in my little room and saw the first rays of sun. Paul would be out on patrol soon which meant Kamely would be sneaking into my room to get ready for today. I was so excited about going to this school; my last one was never challenging enough for me. It never gave me what I needed and I was so happy when my parents finally agreed to let me go here because I knew the classes I would take would help me grow my magic and help me be more out there instead of my quiet little shell.

I got up and opened my window for Kamely before I grabbed my giant towel and headed for the shower. After quickly using the bathroom and washing up I ran back to my room to get dressed. The bus would be here in about an hour or so and I DID NOT want my parents driving me to school on my first day. It was hard enough that it was mid-semester, but everyone knew how strict my parents were.

I walked into my room to find Kamely lounging on my bed, reading a book then taking notes. I chucked as I walked into my small walk-in closet. I figured she would just be finishing her homework; after all we did spend most of the night talking about boys. One secret I could never tell her though was that I had a major crush on her brother, Jake.

Jake was the type of guy who was tough and strong, he could be over protective one second but sweet as could be when it came to Kamely and sometimes me. He was basically the man of the house now, ever since their father Billy passed away a couple years ago. Now it was just the two of them and occasionally me. He was the type that you could really dream about, that you could really fall for when you got past the hard exterior.

"B., hurry up." Kamely groaned from the bed. I chuckled again and pulled out a black and red plaid mini skirt with a red long sleeve low V-neck shirt and black vest. I quickly pulled on a matching panty set and some short cotton shorts before getting dressed.

"I'm really surprised that you're rushing me, you usually hate going to school! What, or who, has you so excited for the day?" I asked as I sat at my vanity table, pulling out my black eyeliner and mascara. I watched her from the mirror as I applied the make-up and smiled when I saw her blush slightly. "Ahhh Jasper must be back from Vacation. So are you two finally going to make it official or do you want more time?" I asked finishing up and grabbing my straightener.

"Yea he's back and I called him yesterday and some chick picked up the phone. When I asked her who it was she said his girlfriend. Can you believe that? We decide to take a break during break and he comes back with a girlfriend, while I sit here and wait for him like some puppy. I AM NOT a puppy and I wait for no one." She ranted and threw some curse words in there for measure while I chuckled and did my hair.

"Ugh boys are so stupid sometimes; I wish they would just tell you how they feel instead of lead you on. I swear if that chick that calls herself his girlfriend goes to our school I will get suspended and you will have to endure your first day alone." She smiled at the last part and I could see she forgot about her problem with Jasper and was moving on to something else. "I am so glad your parents finally agreed to letting you come to school with the rest of us. We are going to rule the school." She threw herself on my bed and noticed the picture of us on my nightstand.

"Remember when we took that. Paul thought it would be so much fun to swim in the lake. Little did we know that we would end up having blue hair once we got out," I chuckled as I watch her smile at the picture. I slipped on my black sneakers then checked myself over once more in the mirror before noticing what Kamely was wearing.

She had on a midnight blue sweater dress that stopped mid-thigh. She accompanied it with knee high black boots and a black belt that hung loose on her hips. Her hair was in its natural messy curls that hung down to about the middle of her back. She didn't wear much make-up just black eyeliner and some blush since she was tanned.

"Yea that was a great day, until Jake and Paul almost fought. I swear sometimes they are more animal than human" we both chuckled at that and I grabbed my bag and we left my room. I spotted Paul talking with my mom at the kitchen table. "Hey Paul, Aria called and wants to know if you would pick her and Alice up for school. Mrs. Lahote it is always a pleasure to see you." Kamely greeted before taking the orange Paul offered her.

I watched Paul blush at the mention of his girlfriend and I smiled. I was glad he had somebody to help him with his anger besides me; I could only handle so much. He nodded before leaving the house. I frowned and thought how mean it was of my parents to allow him to drive to school but I had to suffer on the bus. I grabbed an apple and some water before turning to face my mother. Dad must already be at work or he would have been in the kitchen still. He wasn't too fond of Kamely since she was a trouble maker and Jake an even bigger trouble maker.

"Kamely how are you? You look nice this morning!" She was actually being polite and I almost chocked on a piece of apple. "Britney are you ok, you should be more careful?" She asked worriedly and I nodded. There was a honk from outside and I turned to look out the window to see the bus.

"Mom we have to go, Love you." I called over my shoulder as we walked out the house. Once we were outside I turned to Kamely, "Thanks for being nice." I whispered as we got on the bus, taking seats in the back of the bus. She nodded and stuck her headphones in her ears; I could hear the rock music blaring from the tiny buds.

I pulled out a book and sat back and began reading it when a gust of wind past by me and I looked up to spy the guy from my dream. I couldn't believe that he was real and sitting a few seats in front of me. I turned to talk to Kamely but she had her eyes closed and looked relaxed so I didn't want to disturb her. I turned back to look at him and caught him staring at me, I could feel my cheeks burn so I turned away and pretended to read my book again.

I looked at him from under my lashes and saw him talking with three other people, they would look back at me and I would look quickly away. I sunk down into my seat and prayed the day would go by fast so that I could get alone time with Kamely to talk to her about this. I could still feel them looking at me but I ignored it with all my strength and got lost in my book.

I hope you guys enjoy this story and please, please, Read and Reviewso I know if this is something I should continue.
