Also Ember and Kiro aren't going to be siblings, yes same dad but I'm just going to have them not know each other.

Milo POV

My name is Milo Murito, I'm 15 and moved to a new school. My old school closed down for repairs because of a certain fire incident. It was fine really, because I was on Winter break. I've been a loner for most of my life, the only people I have is my dad who is gone for work most of the time and my best friend Ember Ohita. She's nice and sweet but mess with her friends she's as scary as heck. Anyway, after the fire incident, she came over to my house, I was alone like most days, and it was a Saturday, January 6th .

"Hey Milo!" she said as she opened my door.

I was on my computer looking at some schools, "Hey Em."

"Hey, you're already ahead of me! Anyway, I found this school that we might like." She said smiling.

"Oh yeah? Go right ahead." I said and turned my computer to her.

She typed "Westveiw Academy", "Here. I thought it looked pretty school. I talked to my mom about it, she said she can sign us both up."

I looked that the school, "Hmm, it does sound like a good choice... but is it okay for your mom to pay for both of us, I mean I could ask my dad and he would pay for my enrollment." I asked.

Okay, I was worried, Ember lived in a small apartment and her mom had to work two jobs and her boyfriend was constantly getting chased by police, stupid con artist he was. She just grinned and ruffled my hair.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." she said as she sat on the foot of my black bed, "Don't worry."

I frowned, "Um okay, I'll ask my dad still."

She smiled and shook her head, "Okay, I do hope we get enrolled." Her phone beeped and she frowned, "Sorry Mi. I have to go to archery, not like I need to anyway, but my mom's boyfriend insists." she rolled her eyes, "I hate that guy, he's a con artist, how my mom date a con artist?!"

"I'm not sure Em." I said quietly it was best not to talk when she was like this.

Her phone beeped again and she sighed, she typed something, "I have to go Mi." she said, "I'll see you around okay?"

I nodded, she got up and opened my door, and left closing the door behind her. I sighed again, I really liked her company, I now felt empty again, hollow. I sighed again, I looked at the school. I frowned, I didn't know what to do, so I took out my sketchbook. There had been many pictures of Ember and I and a few of my father, although many pictures were of scenery. I drew for an hour and got a text 30 minutes later.

Em: Hey Mi. I'm done with my lesson, I got a bunch of bulls eyes, Flynn was complementing me a bunch, it's starting to get boring. Anyway, how are you?

Me: Oh fine, I drew some stuff and I'm thinking of getting enrolled...

Em: Great! Think quickly please, school's starting up again on the 8th.

Me: Okay. Have you already enrolled?

Em: No, I'm waiting for you. It was sweet that she did that, but I didn't want to be the reason she didn't get to go to the school

Me: Oh, you don't have to you know...

Em: And have you go to a different school by yourself? Uh huh, it's either we go together or we don't PERIOD. NO ARGUING, NO NEGOTIATION, PERIOD!

Me: Em, you don't have too!

Em: Too bad, now I have to go to lunch. See ya.

Me: Ya see ya

I heard the door opened, my father was home, I walked downstairs.

"Hey dad." I said as he took off his work coat.

"Hey buddy. I heard about the fire, everything okay?" he asked.

"Yeah. Ember found this new school, and I really want to go." I told him.

"Well then show me." he said smiling.

We went to the monitor and I showed him, "Hey buddy, go get a snack, I'll check this out." he said.

"Okay." I said, I went back to the kitchen and grabbed some bread and cheese, I made us both grilled cheese sandwiches, my dad walked in just as I turned off the stove and put the plates down.

"Mm, smells, good! If you want to go to that school you can." he said as we sat down.

I smiled, something I didn't really do, "Really?"

He nodded, I hugged him and he just chuckled. We ate our sandwich's, his phone dinged and he looked at it and frowned. "Hey buddy, dad has to go." he said as he grabbed his coat.

"Okay." I said, and I hugged him, he ruffled my hair and he went out the door again.

I sighed, and cleared our plates. I got on the monitor, it appeared my dad had already signed me up. I smiled and went to my room. I took my phone and texted Ember.

Me: Hey! My dad got me enrolled, he paid for everything!

Em: That's great! I'm having worse luck...

Me: What's wrong?

Em: Flynn want's me to go to a boarding school, I told him I wanted to go there but I just made it worse...

Em: He's arguing with my mom. Again

Me: Again? You mean he's argued with your mom before?

Em: Yeah, for the past week. I don't know what their arguing about, every time I come into the room they go silent, I think it's something about me. One time, when I was trying sleep, I heard them... My mom said my name. I don't know what their talking about and it's scaring me...

Me: It'll be okay, I'm sure of it.

Em: Thanks, oh I have to go, Flynn is calling me, wish me good luck.

Me: Good luck.

Em: Thanks

And that was the end of out conversation, I sighed again. I played on my computer again, I got bored of it and turned it off, to keep my mom off things, I watched some T.V., Sherlock was Ember's and I favorite show. When I turned the T.V. off, it was 9 p.m. I went downstairs and opened the fridge, I grabbed a container of noodles and chugged it cold. I washed it out and recycled it, I went back upstairs and brushed my teeth. I got in my pajama's and fell asleep as I hit the pillow.
