"—and after that we have lunch," Alethea concluded as she and Merlin walked towards their lockers. Alethea stopped and looked around, "Do you see your sister anywhere?"

Merlin looked around, "No, but most of these people are taller than her, so she should appear any minute now," Merlin turned and opened his locker, "she has a special talent for coming out of nowhere ad scaring me."

Alethea laughed and threw her textbook into her locker, "You sound like my brother…well, step-brother."

"Who's your step-brother?" Merlin asked, taking his advanced math book out of his locker.

"A blonde idiot," Alethea shrugged, not really wanting to elaborate, which Merlin noticed.

"Sounds fun, so what class is next?" Merlin asked, changing the subject.

"Advanced math with Professor Mitchell," a voice behind them answered, making Merlin jump.

Merlin sighed, closing his locker and turning to the girl behind him, "Lissa, must you always do that?"

"It only bothers you, Alethea didn't jump. It's not my fault you're a wuss," Valissa—Lissa for short—smiled up at him.

Merlin looked over at Alethea, who was trying not to laugh, "You see how mean she is to me? It's horrible," he shook his head, making Lissa laugh.

"Yeah, you're just as bad in the mornings," Lissa grabbed her advanced math book from her locker and closed it. She looked over at Alethea, "So, Professor Mitchell? Good teacher, bad teacher, extremely old, or just so boring that I'll want to hang myself before the lesson is half over?"

Alethea chuckled, "He's an amazing teacher, you'll like him."

"Sounds like you've got a crush," Lissa leaned back on her locker, "is he that attractive?"

Alethea smirked, "I guess you'll just have to wait and see."

"Aww, that's no fun," Lissa pouted as she and her brother followed Alethea towards Professor Mitchell's classroom.

"Terribly sorry," Alethea shrugged, not looking back.

Lissa smiled and looked back at Merlin, "She's cool, I approve of your crush on her." Merlin, who hadn't really been paying attention, did a double-take. He spluttered, making Lissa laugh. The three walked into the classroom and sat down at a table in the middle of the classroom.

Alethea looked over, "Welcome to my favorite class." As the words left her mouth, Professor Mitchell walked into the room and sat a few papers down onto his desk. Lissa could definitely see why this was Alethea's favorite class, the professor was young and extremely attractive. He had brown hair that was slightly spiked, pale skin, and had pretty brown eyes. The man wore a light blue sweater vest over a white shirt and black slacks. When he looked up he gave the class a bright smile, and Lissa could've sworn she heard the girls in the room sigh lovingly.

Lissa finally looked away from the professor and smiled at Alethea, "I can definitely see why it's your favorite class." Alethea laughed, and the room quieted when Professor Mitchell stopped talking.

"Hello class, I would say lovely weather…but it's been raining for a while now." Professor Mitchell shrugged and the girls in the class giggled. The professor smiled and clapped his hands together, "Well, I've just gotten the memo that we have two new students with us today. Would you all please greet the lovely Miss Valissa and the handsome Mr. Merlin warmly. They will be with us for the rest of the year, and hopefully for the rest of their years in high school."

Yeah, hopefully, Lissa was tempted to roll her eyes, but Professor Mitchell seemed genuinely happy that they were there, so she just gave him a small smile.

"Since we have more people joining us today, I'm just going to have you split up into groups and do this worksheet that goes over what we've learned so far. That sound good?" Professor Mitchell asked, looking around the room. The students smiled and started moving around the rooms to form their groups.

Alethea looked over at Lissa and Merlin, "I'll go get us some of the worksheets, then we can work together." The twins nodded and Alethea got up and walked to Professor Mitchell's desk.

Merlin looked over at Lissa and smiled, "At least our professors are cool."

Lissa smiled and looked over, "At least our first ones are."

Alethea sat back down at the table and handed them both a sheet of paper, "School here isn't actually as bad as you might think, just watch out for a few of the kids here."

Lissa looked over at her, "Noted."

"Come on, let's get this sheet done. Lunch is next and you can meet some of my friends." Alethea opened her textbook, and the twins did the same, silently thanking whoever was listening that nothing horrible had happened yet.

(A.N) I am soooooo sorry for not updating for awhile! I feel like such a horrible writer! My laptop has some virus thing on it and I can't even turn it on right now! It should (hopefully) be fixed soon! I had tp steal my sister's laptop to write and post this last chapter, but as soon as I get my laptop fixed I'll get back to posting whenever I have any new reviews! Once again, sorry! Don't hate me please!
