Chapter 1-

Nina's POV-

We boarded our planes at nine at night. Our cousins were going to France with their parent & we are heading off to England. We were all tear stained because we were leaving our only home. My little sister, Callie was going to upchuck unless we got a move on.

"Nina aren't you nervous?" a jittery Callie asked. "Not that much." I lied. "What about getting kidnapped?" she asked. "Callie we're going to be fine." I reassured her. Secretly I was afraid of that, our plane crashing, or getting mugged.

When we got into the air, she began to drift to sleep. "Nina, do you think we will like England?" She asks me. "I think so. We have always wanted to go abroad." I said & realized she was fast asleep. I began to fall asleep a few minutes later.

SEVERAL HOURS LATER

I began to wake up because of the pilot's voice on the intercom. I looked at my watch 5:38 AM Eastern Standard Time, so it is 10:38 AM Liverpool time.

"Callie! Callie! Cal! Calida, WAKE UP!"I kept saying while shaking her head off my shoulders. "Five more minutes…." she groaned. "Nope, now Callie!" I said, "Ariella is here waiting to go hiking." "Give me five minutes and…. Hey wait were on a plane! YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR NINA MIETTE MARTIN!" She growled. "Hey I gotcha up didn't I?" I laughed and we buckled up. About ten minutes later, we landed and got our suitcases. We now had a three and a half hour train trip.

The train trip didn't take forever, it was actually fun! When we got to our stop we had to take a cabby to our new school.

Callie's POV-

I couldn't believe we were in England! I had slept through the whole flight (probably a good thing for everyone's sake) while we are on the train I texted Ariella.

While we were staying in England, I had to stay close to Nina. Our aunt told us to because our closest relatives we have in Europe are:

-our dad's cousin in France and our cousins' family

-relatives in Italy

-our aunt in Spain

-our cousin in the next city

Nina talked to the cab driver. I looked over her shoulder to see the text message from Gran. Yah our grandmother could text. She said that she loved and missed us so much already.

When we got to the school, we both gasped in the amazing architecture and landscape. When we realized the cab driver was walking away with our luggage, we chased after him. We both ran into a student.

Nice way to start off a new school.

We caught up with him and paid and thanked him for the ride. We got our suitcase and went into the foyer. As we turned in a circle, a very, umm, "experienced" man showed up. We both gasped.

"Isn't the bell working?" He asked. "Umm." I stood in shock. "The door was open so we came in "Nina explained. "So you just walked on in." He went on. "Yeah that's how we do doors in America." Nina laughed, and then a tan woman with ivory curls came down the stairs.

"Hello I'm Trudy Rehmann, your house mother" She chirped. They gave us a tour and showed us to our rooms, I would be sharing with someone, and Callie would be rooming with the other grade sevens. I helped Callie with her room, and then she came over to help me.

Nina's POV-

We then began to set up my things. As we unpacked my personal belongings, Callie wouldn't stop texting Ariella. "Where are they?" I asked. "Umm, in an airport in Spain." she said. Then a red head with lighting blue stripes came in.

"Joy, where have… Wait where Joy and Kelly are?" she screamed. "We don't know. We just moved in!" I defended my sister and me.

"I don't believe you! I was sittin' next to Joy & now she is missin'!" The red heads yelled.

She picked up two cell phones. "This is Joy's and Kelly's as well. Did you steal them?" She eyed me and Callie.

"Not a great strategy for making friends." I said, "Can we start over. I'm Nina and this is Callie. We're from America."

"Joy wouldn't leave all of a sudden!" Red head barked. She picked up my bedding and a stuffed toy bunny. She then carried out of the door and dropped our bedding in the hallway and ran over to Callie's room, caring out a stuffed toy cat while Nick stood frozen and I was trying to get her to stop. She then stomped back and took my photo of Gran. "Wait you can't take that! That's ours! Please!" I pleaded. "I don't know who you are or what you are doing here! BUT you are not my roommate! Joy is and Kelly rooms with Alana!" Red head screamed. Then (UHH what's his name? Oh now I know!) Victor came around the corner.

"What is going on here Ms. Williamson?" his voice boomed.

"What have you done with Joy and Kelly?" Red head yelled.

"Joy and Kelly have left!" He stated coolly.

"Joy and Kelly wouldn't've left without these," She held up the two phones, "or Bunnzy Buns and Coco!"

"Give them to me & I'll ship these to them." Victor said.

"First Class?" Red head asked.

First class for objects?

"Give them here Ms. Williamson!" Victor ordered. She then gave the objects to Victor.

"Clean this up!" He ordered me and Callie & left. Red head gave us a death stare.

"I know you two are in on it!" She hissed and went down the stairs. We picked up my bedding and went back into the room.

"Ella parecer dulce."(Translation- she seems sweet.) Callie said sarcastically. "Si!" I agreed. We made my bed and sat down on my bed looking over the Spanish lessons Gran had given us.

"Should we go and meet the rest of the house?" Callie asked. "Sure, but let's lay off the Spanish." I said, "And let's NOT mention gymnastics or musical instruments. Remember the family reunion and our David's Christmas feast." she shivered and nodded. "Listo?" I asked. "Si!" she chirped. We walked down the stairs and to the living room. "Hi I'm Nina and this is Callie. We're from America." I introduced quickly. A really cute guy and his mini him waved at us. They oldest had dark brown hair and dreamy chocolate-brown eyes. The younger one had the same hair color, but it was very curly, and had striking blue eyes. "Told you!" the red head muttered. We really didn't want to know what she meant.

"Greetings extra trestles. Or as they say on your country: bleep blop bloop." the darker boy said. Everyone chuckled. "Kids supper's ready!" Trudy called. We made our way to the table and we sat down next to the red head and across from the cute boys. When we sat down, the blonde girl said, "That's my seat!" "You weren't sitting here before." I said. "Where's Mick?" She asked. "I don't know who you are and so I don't know who Mick is." I told her. "He went for a run Amber." The oldest dreamy boy said to Amber.

"Yah heard her, that's her seat." Red head growled. "But she's not here right now." I said. "Is that how your people work. When someone leaves, you take their?" red head asked. "Patricia! Stop being a witch!" older dreamy boy asked. Then the front door opened and a heard of twelve year olds came bustling in like a herd of cattle; each one greeting a sophomore (except one, he was talking to Jerome). There was a girl with light red hair, who introduced herself as Pamela; she was Patricia's little sister. There was another girl, with platinum blonde hair and pink streaks, called herself Alana, was Amber's little sister. The final girl was Kayla, who had dark brown waves, was Mara's little sister. The boy, who was talking to Jerome, was Jacob. The little brother of Mick was Michael, who looked totally different from Mick with his brown hair and brown eyes. The boy talking to Alfie was his little brother, Alexander, but I would've never guessed. He was fair skinned with light hair and light eyes. We then began dinner when Amber and (who I guess) Mick came to the table. We learned everyone else's names. I saw Callie grinning to herself after she would look up at Lucas when she thought no one was looking. She so liked him.

During the middle of dinner, Mara scolded Alfie for using both his fork & spoon pile pasta in mouth. Jerome then threw pasta at Alfie & that's when everything went downhill. The food fight was originally between Alfie and Jerome but then we all got hit with something. Instead of streaking like the rest of us who got hit, Fabian grumbled, "Every meal guys?" When Callie and I were tying our hair back, Patricia dumped the pitcher of water all over us. "Patricia!" Fabian, Lucas, Pamela and scolded Patricia as we got up from the table.

I am NEVER sitting next to her again!

Fabian and Lucas tried to help us dry off. Then Victor came in. "What's going on here?" he shouted. "Nothin". Nina and Callie just spilled some water." Patricia laughed. "Get this cleaned up." Victor ordered, "And both Ms. Martins have a phone call." We followed Victor to the phone in the foyer. I picked up the receiver and put it to where me and Callie could listen and talk.

Callie's POV-

Nina put the phone in a position to where we both could listen and speak. "How's Hogwarts?" Gran's voice filled the receiver. "Hey, Gran!" We both greeted. "So, how is it?" She asked. "Great just…great." Nina said, fighting back the tears. "Made any new friends yet?" She asked. "Yeah. Like so many. Tons actually!" she lied. "That's great honey. How's Callie?" Gran congratulated. "Great, Gran, lots of friends and it's so cool over here!" I lied. "Hey, Gran, we're in the middle of supper. Which means dinner, so can we call you back later?" Nina asked. We then burst down into tears. Then Fabian and Lucas walked in with two glasses of water. "Is everything okay?" They asked. "Yeah, just allergies. You guys have cats right?" Nina covered up. They were about to say something but we went upstairs and changed shirts.

When we came back downstairs, Amber and Mick were giggling about some fashion magazine. Mara was studying. Alfie and Jerome were discussing a prank that they were going to pull on the younger years. Patricia was reading some Goth magazine. Fabian and Lucas were building a card house in the dining room. Alana was doing hers and Pamela's nails. Kayla was cleaning her tennis shoes. Jacob (who wanted to be called Jack) and Alexander (who insisted being called Alex) were discussing something in whispers. Michael (who preferred being called Mike) was sitting with them, but he was reading something. We both sat down and I started reading my book Prophecy Sisters but it was in Spanish and Nina was reading a magazine. "Hey Neens." I whispered. "Hmm." she said. "What does 'Una voz, suave pero urgente, viene de dentro de la habitación' mean?" I whispered just loud enough for only her to hear. "Um 'A voice, soft but urgent, umm, comes from within the room.' I think. Plug it in to see if it makes sense." Nina told me. I nodded. Later I got up and took a shower. I changed into grey sweats and a light pink and baby blue striped tee. I felt like cotton candy. Then Nina took a shower and changed into her sweats and blue and grey striped tee.

While Diablo (my personal nickname for her) was showering, I came after writing in my journal and looked over the Spanish lessons with her. Pamela, Alana, and Kayla were in the Kayla and Pamela's room, who were discussing on how to coordinate for the first day of school. I honestly don't know how Pamela stood her, she as so polite. She had apologized for Patricia, claiming her sister was protective and hot-headed. I could believe it. But now refocusing on my book, my mood lifted. "So glad Gran gave me a harder book; so much better than the last book." I said. "Geek." Nina chuckled. "Shut up, Ms. Fluent-in-two-languages and you have the nerve to call me a geek! I will also have you know I was invited to a party this year!" I laughed and threw a pillow "A pizza and movie night with the academic team isn't exactly a party." She chuckles. I rolled my eyes and continued my lesson. We were both were surprised to hear Victor's voice say, "It's 10'oclock. You have five minutes. Then I want to hear, a pin drop." We realized we forgot to brush our teeth; we both went to the bathroom to brush them. We chatted over what classes we had, while Nina wiped off the mirror. Then Patricia and the rest of the Anubis girls ran into the bathroom, "They wiped it off!" She exclaimed. "Wiped what off?" We asked confused. "The message from Joy and Kelly!" Patricia exclaimed. "What message? We didn't see anything!" We said. "What message?" Mara asked. "It said, 'HELP US, JOY and KELLY!" Patricia yelled. "What's going on here?" Victor questioned. Patricia stormed off with an, "UGH!", while Mara, Kayla, Alana and Amber scurried out, leaving us alone, with Victor. He repeated his questioned and we both shrugged and ran to our rooms.

"I know you to have sometin' to do with this!" I heard Patricia say to my sister before she closed the door. Alana shot me sympathetic glance, and curled under her comforter. I crawled into my bed and fell asleep.

This is gonna be a loooong year
