hey guys! so this story is going to take place in different character perspectives and more than one day! please try not to get confused :P
Connie's POV
I came home to find Sam asleep. As usual, I come home pretty late most of the time. But Sam was as loyal as a puppy, he would never go to bed and sleep, he would always wait for me to come home.
I ruffled his hair and kissed his cheek, then walked to the counter to get a glass and poured some water in it. His eyes fluttered open and he smiled a goofy grin when he saw it was me.
"Hey Mom!" he said.
"Hi Sam, how was school today?" I asked.
"It was fine." he replied.
"Did you go surfing with Quinn again?" I asked.
"Yep. Nothing new about that." he answered.
"Did you have fun?" I asked, once again.
"As always. How was work today?" he asked.
I thought about my day. I thought about telling him about Caine. But I decided against it. Caine was going to find out first, it was the least I could do for him.
"It was..interesting. We got a new student." I replied.
"Oh, really? What's the new kid like?" he asked, suddenly curious.
"Well, her name is Brianna and she is very fast. She will be joining the school track team, and possibly become the girls team captain and lead the teams along with .. Caine." I answered.
"Any idea what sent her to Coates?" he asked, completely ignoring Caine's name. Phew.
"No idea. A lot of the kids there are nice. They just have rich parents who can't stand kids." I told him.
Sam looked a bit sad. He felt bad for those kids. He didn't even know what happened to his father, for all he knew, his father left us just like his step-father.
"Ah, cheer up Sam. They'll be fine." I said and patted his shoulder reassuringly.
He yawned. I took the opportunity to observe him and spot the similarities with him and Caine.
There were a lot of differences, but some similarities.
Like the dimples. And the posture, although Caine either has better posture or is taller. They had the same muscular build. And the same limited amount of chubbiness in their cheeks, no doubt from when they were babies.
"Well you should go to sleep now Sam." I told him.
"Good night!" he called out, heading to his room.
"Good night!" I called back. "I love you!"
"I love you too Mom" he answered.
Caine's POV
It was currently 2:29. I was impatiently tapping my fingers on my desk. Last class of the day. I've been in a jittery mood all day. But I had a reason. Today, I would figure out if I was adopted or not. Today, I would figure out if Nurse Temple is my mother or not. Today, is the day I might finish what I started with Diana yesterday.
The bell rang. I quickly packed up my things and sped out of class. I started to run to my room to drop my things off. Right when I was leaving my room. I spotted Diana outside.
"Slow down Speed Racer, you in a rush?"she asked, smiling playfully.
"You know what I'm doing and where I'm going, so I have no need to repeat myself." I answered.
"Calm down and let me walk you to her office" she said and took my arm and started walking down the hall with me.
We were there in a few minutes.
"Do you want me to come in with you?" Diana asked.
"Thanks, but no thanks" I answered, a sly grin forming on my face.
"Yeah, ok Fearless Leader. See you when you get back I guess" she said, and with that she turned on her heel and walked off towards the girl hallway.
I breathed in. This was the moment I've been waiting for. I pushed the door open. Nurse Connie Temple was calmly sitting there. Like nothing big was about to happen. Unless...but I willed myself to stop thinking of the possibility that she might not be my birth mom. She looked up and smiled when she saw me.
"Hello Caine" she greeted.
"Hello Nurse Temple." I greeted back.
"So, here to talk?" she asked.
"Yeah" I answered.
"Anything specific?" she asked, hinting there was something she'd like to talk about as well.
"Yeah.." I started trailing off.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Well...before I start, can I ask you something?" I asked.
"Of course! Anything!" she replied.
"Will you tell me the truth no matter what the question may be?" I asked, slowly swallowing after I said it.
It took a while for her to respond, and her face showed she was a bit curious as to where I was going with this and what was going to happen but finally answered "Yes.".
I took a deep breath and let it out.
"Are you my birth mom?"
Brianna's POV
I love running. And I am fast. And I may be developing a crush on Jack, whose nickname is Computer Jack.
My roommates are Dekka and Penny. Dekka is cool, Penny not so much.
Penny kind of obsesses over Caine. And Caine is the leader of the track team in general, and the boys track team. And from what I've heard, he likes Diana. And Diana likes him back. And Penny likes Caine. So Penny hates Diana.
I've only been here two days and already I know rumors about half the school.
Like one about Penny and that her father was a pornographer, taking pictures of her sisters.
And that Dekka was a lesbian. But I don't care if she is. Dekka is cool.
Bug was an annoying creep.
Taylor was a gossip queen.
Jack was a nerd, a cute nerd though.
Drake was a psycho. Apparently he shot his neighbor and landed in here.
Diana somehow got her dad in jail.
I don't know much about Caine, other than he pretty much rules the school and is probably the hottest guy here.
Soon, I might get to know him better. Through the track team of course. And maybe, he knows a bit about Jack.
