Sophie waited after class with Speed beside her. "Sophie what are you doing here," Professor Strike asked her.

"I just wanted to talk to you Sage," Sophie smiled at her. Speed gave her a confused look to Sophie for call the professor by his given name.

"Sorry sis, but I'm busy. Maybe later," Sage patted her shoulder and left the class room.

"What did he mean by sis," Speed questioned her with his eyebrow raised.

"He's my older brother. He changed his last name because he wanted to make a name for himself without the family name hanging over his head. Plus he and our father got into a horrible fight when he left," Sophie explained. Speed was shocked at how horrible her home life seemed to be.

"Do you and your dad get along well," Speed asked.

"Yeah. I'm his little girl and I've always been my favorite especially after the incident. He tried to push Sage into working for the company but his heart his always laid in teaching people about cars and how to control them when they got out of control. Like when you loose tread on ice," Sophie explained. Speed nodded before grabbing her hand leading her out of the class room and into the lunch room.

X smirked when he saw Speed holding Sophie's hand while carrying her bag. They had their heads bent together and were talking in soft whispers to one another. He was happy that his baby brother had finally found someone that made him happy. He made a mental note to have Connor dig into her background to see if there was something she was trying to hide like what the nightmare may have been about. He nudged Lucy and nodded over to the two watching a smile grace her features. Analise in all of her horrible ways stepped in front of them making X and Lucy frown.

"Wow! It looks like two geeks found each other. Thought you would end up with Lucy," Analise smirked it Speed.

"Knock it off Analise, I thought we put our differences aside," Speed sighed.

"I can't be nice all the time," Analise flipped her hair and walked off. Sophie giggled and grabbed Speeds arm and pulled him over to his friends table.

"You two do make a cute couple," Lucy offered.

"Thanks, but were still just friends," Sophie smiled.

"Sure you are," X smirked. He could tell how his brother felt about the girl and he knew she felt the same but wasn't ready to admit it yet.

Sophie liked how she felt so comfortable around Speed. She didn't have to hide who she was behind her shy nature. She was an outgoing and fun girl to be around but she's been in the publics eye since she was little and she hated the feeling of everyone looking for mistakes. Thus she became extremely shy and hide who she really was unless she knew you and was comfortable.

"Sophie we can talk now," Sage tapped her shoulder. Sophie smiled and nodded and kissed Speeds cheek before following her brother.

"What's that all about," X asked.

"Professor Strike is Sophie's older brother," Speed explained.
