Chapter Ten: And So It Begins

Billy's P.O.V

RRRRRiiinngggg!!!

'Argh! I hate this stupid alarm clock. Why couldn't Ma get me a radio instead?!'

I stick my arm from beneath the pillows and reach towards my side dresser. Without looking I feel around for the familiar cold, metal surface of the clock. I get a hold of it and then I fling it across the room and hear it slam against the wall. All was peace and quiet again…

"Billy! Wake up, dear! Time for school!" Ma calls from downstairs.

'There goes my peace and quiet…'

I mumble a few inaudible curses and manage to get up from bed. I make my way towards the bathroom, to find that the door was locked. Lilly must've already beaten me to it. I inwardly groan, waiting for her to finish.

I lean my head against the door and I close my eyes. Oh how I wish that it was my turn and that I was in there. I hear the shower on and I can imagine Lilly using up most of the hot water. I am longing to take a nice hot shower and feel the nice, fuzzy rug beneath my feet, preventing me from slipping over the tiles.

Suddenly I notice the room felt a slightly bit warmer. I open my eyes and I realize that I am surrounded by steam. I turn my head and see my reflection in the mirror. I look down and see the light green fuzzy rug over the tiles. I look up and do a double take as I see a toilet in the corner.

"Woah, what the heck am I doing here?" I yelp in surprise.

Before my mind fully registered that I was in our bathroom, my sister's voice comes screeching out like a harpy's.

"WHAT THE-? HOW THE HELL ARE YOU IN HERE?! I LOCKED BOTH DOORS THAT WAY YOU COULDN'T GET IN EITHER WAY. GET OUT!!! WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE DUMBA-"

I unlock the door and manage to get out before she threw the shampoo bottle at me. I slam it shut and lean against the door, panting. I try to catch my breath and try to recall what had just happened. One minute I was in my room, then the next thing I knew I was on the other side of my door and in the bathroom.

I was trying to be concerned and try to figure out how and why that happened but I was just seriously grossed out by the thought of being in the bathroom at the same time as my sister…

'Ugh, this is not a good way to start off my day.'

O~O~O

Lilly's P.O.V

'Let's see what the school announcements are for today…'

I browse through the list of important events and honorable mentions in my hand as the A/V room was a buzz with movement, preparing to broadcast the school news. I reread through the list again, trying to concoct an intriguing delivery.

However, my mind has been a bit frazzled this morning. Billy had really upset me this morning by appearing in the bathroom out of nowhere while I was taking my shower. He had been trying to apologize to me all morning, saying stuff like how he didn't mean to do it and feeding me stories of how he had just appeared there without meaning to. 'As if he were the Great Houdini.'

I didn't buy any of his bull and didn't bother to speak to him yet.

I make the morning announcements with a little bit of lackluster today. I had let my feelings get the best of me. It wasn't because I was bothered of the fact that Billy was in the bathroom today, but I was completely confused as to how he got in.

'I know I locked both doors. Even if I left one of them open I don't think he would bother to walk in like that, especially when I'm taking a shower.'

I make my way towards my homeroom class for attendance when I see the editor-and-chief of the school newspaper, Keith Francis making his way down the hall. I felt my heart throbbing faster and faster.

Keith Francis is a really handsome senior. He has a dark chestnut complexion and his hairline was shaped up nicely. His thick, long eyelashes frame his dark brown eyes that make me want to melt into them. He has a pronounced jaw, a straight nose, and his lips look absolutely luscious. He has a bit of facial hair on his chin, which is shaped up into a nice little goatee.

Keith makes his way closer to me. I freeze up a little on the inside but I continue walking. He stops me in the hallway and gives me a warm smile. I give him a small, strained smile while using all my willpower to stop myself from touching his face.

"Hey Lillian, how come I haven't seen you afterschool lately?" his velvety voice asks.

"Oh, umm…I had this little ordeal last Saturday-" I began.

"Oh right, right. Yeah a lot of kids from our school saw what happened with you and your friends at 'The Vine'. Are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm okay," I stuttered.

"So does that mean you can submit to me your advice column by this Friday?" he questions.

I close my eyes in frustration. I had almost totally forgotten about that. Well, I guess I can get started on it tonight since I have nothing else to do.

"Don't worry, Keith," I say as I wave my hand in assurance. "I've got it covered. You'll have your column in by Friday morning."

He smiles at me, obviously pleased with my answer. "Good. So when can you start attending meetings again?"

"I should be back by next week," I assure him.

He places a hand on my shoulder and says, "I'm glad, I don't want my star advice columnist to be M.I.A. See you soon Lillian." And with that he walks away.

'Oh-my-gosh, Keith Francis just called me his star advice columnist.'

At first I was in utter shock. When I got over it I turn around and call after him with a new sense of confidence. "You can call me Lilly…" He pauses and turns his head a bit. He smirks and replies, "See you soon…Lilly."

After he was out of earshot I lean against the wall and let out a long sigh. I was euphoric. Just as the bell rings, I feel a falling sensation and somehow end up on the floor of my homeroom class. The other students were on the other side of the room making their way out the door.

"Oh Miss West, when did you arrive? I didn't notice you enter through the door," Ms. Watts, my homeroom teacher states.

'Neither did I…'

I get up, apologize for being late, and rush out the door trying not to be late for my next class. I try to keep that strange occurrence at the back of my mind.

'This is such a weird day.'

O~O~O

Lilly and Billy had to take public transportation this afternoon. Both of their parents were going to work late that night, so they just agreed to take the bus. As they were walking home from the bus stop, Billy was desperately attempting to get his sister to talk and forgive him. He didn't like to admit it, but he hates it when his sister is genuinely angry with him.

"Oh Sis, c'mon I said I was sorry already," Billy pleads. Lilly continues walking, not even bothering to give him a glance. He throws his hands up in the air and lets out a groan of frustration. He had to think of a way to get her not to be mad at him anymore.

A light bulb flashed on in his head as he came up with an idea.

He ran up to Lilly and stopped right in front of her. She looks up at him and when he knew he had her attention he proposed his idea.

"Alright Sis, I'll make you a bargain. Let's have a race home. If I win, you have to forgive me. If you win, you get first dibs on the shower every morning for the next two weeks."

She gives him a look that says, 'Are you serious?' "That's so stupid, you have a concussion. Why would you want to do that?" Billy was glad that he got his sister to finally say something.

"Well, I hate it when you're mad at me…" he mumbled not wanting to complete that sentence. "Plus I'm alright. We could use the exercise anyway. Especially, you…you look like you put on a lot of weight!"

Lilly ignored him and gave a smirk. "Alright, fine. But just to let you know, I've already forgiven you…" "What?!" he yelled in surprise. "Fine, since you've already forgiven me, if I win I get the same shower privileges I just offered you."

They switch into their sneakers and start off at a mailbox. "First one, to make it through the door wins," Billy declares. "Ready, one, two, three…GO!!"

They take off, pumping their arms and legs trying to go faster and faster. It was head to head. Lilly would pull up in front of Billy, but then he'd catch up and be a few inches ahead of her. It was vice versa. It was getting really close. They started going so fast that everything became a blur.

"I'm almost there. Hellooo first shower privileges," Lilly thought with excitement. She sped past what looked like cars, people, lampposts, and dogs. She was almost afraid of the speed she was going at. It was the same with Billy. They both realized the tremendous speed they were running at. But he didn't want that to bother him. He was more focused on the race. Right now, Lilly was in front of him and he had to beat her.

'Oh man I wanna win sooo bad! I can almost imagine myself in the living room, rubbing it in her face that I won…' Billy thought. Then something weird happened. Lilly looked out of the corner of her eye to see how close behind her brother was. One minute he was there and then the next minute he was gone.

Billy found himself standing in the middle of his living room. He was in shock. He couldn't believe he was already in the house. Just a half second later, Lilly bursts through the door. Well actually, the door wasn't even open. It seemed more like she went through it.

Her eyes practically popped out of their sockets when she saw that Billy was already there.

"What, huh? How did you-? I was just…" Lilly stammered in astonishment.

"Well how about you?" Billy questioned. "How did-? How come you-?" He was shocked as well. He saw his sister literally go through the door.

They both stare at each other in utter shock. Billy walks towards the window and looks down the block. He sees a shallow pair of grooves on the sidewalk. However, one of the grooves ended abruptly while the other made its way up the front steps. Lilly walks over and sees what her brother was staring at.

"We did that…" she says, making it sound like a statement and question rolled into one. A wave of silence passes over them. Billy was the first to break it.

"It was just like this morning," he starts. "I imagine myself somewhere and then poof…I'm there." He turns and looks at his sister, expecting an answer from her as well.

"Same…with me," she begins slowly. "I was talking to Keith earlier today. Then I lean against the wall and suddenly there's no wall. My butt ends up on the floor of my homeroom class. And when we were racing, I imagined myself being on the other side of the door."

Billy looks up at the top of the staircase and then he closes his eyes. He vanishes for a split second and then reappears at the top of the steps. Lilly closes her eyes and suddenly she falls through the floor. Half a second later she reappears from the basement with a gust of wind behind her, scattering some papers unto the floor.

"Cool!" Billy exclaims as he runs down the stairs, causing another gust of wind to scatter a myriad of items. "We both can run at the speed of light!! At the same time, I can teleport anywhere I want and you…"

"…can phase through solid objects," she finishes his sentence.

They take in their newfound discovery with shock and excitement. Billy looks up and sees a small grin on his sister's face. "What?" he questions.

She laughs and explains, "You said that the first one through the door wins. You didn't go through the door. You popped up in the middle of the living room. I, on the other hand, literally went through the door. So technically, I win…"

Billy says nothing. He walks over to the nearest wall and begins to bang his head, while Lilly rejoices in her victory.
