AN: So I've already had load of views which I wasn't expecting and a review so I've decided if you're nice enough to leave a review then I'll be nice enough to reply! :)

Honeydew's Long Lost Sister: I have special plans for the use of Echosounds and Nanosounds, you'll see soon enough :P FiZo wasn't planned, but I will try and slip it in here and there... I have a few ideas I want to get out first :) Rythian and all the characters are your average insane school sixth formers... With a few extra hobbies here and there (read below!) - and everything else will be revealed in time... Thanks for leaving a review!

To other viewers, enjoy the chapter!

Echo was surprised when the bell rang; it had seemed like so little time had passed. She had been about to ask Rythian where they went next but a glance to her side showed Rythian already packed and out of his seat, hoodie and headphones in, as he walked past her; leaving the classroom before Ridgedog had fully dismissed them. Echo watched as Ridgedog narrowed his eyes slightly at Rythian's back before turning back to the class with a wide smile.

"Homework! Complete the questions!" He spoke calmly as he packed up the sheets of paper and hurriedly left the room. The class gave a collective sigh as they picked up their bags and headed towards the door. Echo hurriedly packed up her things before quickly walking over towards Kim, who was waiting for her.

"Hey... You alright?" Kim asked quietly as they lagged behind the others, letting them joke and laugh in front of them. Echo rolled her eyes at them.

"I'm just happy you didn't tell them." Echo whispered back as Kim looked at her with an odd expression.

"Just saying, I'd be perfectly happy to let everyone know we're secretly twins..." Kim began before being hushed violently by Echo as she glanced around worriedly.

"Shush! And no offence, I need some time to settle in and just... You know... Deal with this..." Echo mumbled, turning her head away from Kim's kind gaze. Finding out you had a twin after 18 or so years... Kim had taken it remarkably well, but Echo was still struggling. Her mother had been in an accident and... Well... In the will, she had left an address and the name of a person who she said would look after her; her father. Echo had almost died of fright when Kim and her dad, people she had never known had existed, had opened the door to her new home; she thought she was hallucinating at first. Yet whilst Kim had gained a twin... Echo had still lost a mother.

"Hey Echo! Kim! Come sit over here with us!" A voice shook Echo out of her thoughts as Alex motioned widely from two double doors where Echo had subconsciously been following Kim towards. Echo put on a smile and followed Alex into a large room, which she assumed was the common room. She felt slightly relieved when she only saw a few members of the group; it seemed quite a few were missing and she had felt a little overwhelmed with meeting a lot of them in form at one go.

"Here, Echo, sit here." Kim nudged Alex and Ross off the sofa they were sitting on and sat down, dragging Echo with her. Ross sighed loudly.

"Alex, why do we let her boss us around so much again?" He asked in a sad voice as Alex patted him sympathetically on the shoulder. Alex turned his eyes mockingly to Echo, widening them as Kim laughed.

"How ever do you manage being related to her?" He asked Echo, unable to keep the grin from forming on his face. Echo smiled sweetly, wrapping one arm around Kim's shoulder.

"Because I am ten times worse than Kim; Kim is too much of a goody two shoes." She laughed as some faces erupted into shock and confusion at her comment.

"Er, have you met Kim?" Duncan asked as Alex and Ross sat down beside him, nodding in agreement before he said anything.

"She basically whipped Hat Films and Duncan into shape..." Echo turned at a voice behind her as a pale faced and noticeably bald teenager grinned at her. Next to him was another guy with a curly moustache, with notably more hair, who also smiled at her.

"Hi! I'm Echo!" She grinned as the two individuals made there way round, extending the circle they were in.

"Echo, huh? Like an ECHO echo echo..." The guy chortled at his own joke as Echo tried to maintain the smile on her face.

"Yeah, well it turns out I was named that for a stupid reason so..." She laughed as Kim looked at her with a hint of regret. No one seemed to notice however as the guy finished laughing.

"I'm Sips; that curly haired moustache guy next to me is Sjin; we're your resident Business experts" he said, only half joking. Echo laughed.

"Okay, so you're the business freaks, got it. Anyone else a got a speciality?" She laughed as she looked around at the others. Lewis smiled.

"Well, Simon is an expert in Geography; he's President of the Diggy Diggy Hole club, which is where he is now, monitoring the year 7s." Lewis chuckled slightly as Echo made a mental note of this.

"Sjin and Sips are Business, Hannah does History although she does Art club too, hence why she's not here, the Hat Film trio all do Tech and Design..." He trailed off, thinking hard. "Duncan is fantastic at science; doesn't really need to be in lessons to be honest."

Duncan smiled modestly at the compliment. "Yeah I'm pretty much top in the class..." He said smugly, ducking as Kim tried to hit him.

"Yeah, and he's a right prat about it. Him and Rythian used to be lab partners..." Kim said happily before suddenly realising what she had said. Suddenly Duncan was glaring at her and Lewis was looking deeply unhappy.

"So, Lewis, what's your speciality?" Echo asked quickly, eager to take the attention off Kim. Lewis turned, distracted and hesitated.

"I'm more of an all rounder kind of guy..." He explained, Echo nodding. One of those types who was just good at everything. No wonder he was seemingly the leader of the group.

Suddenly a figure ran into the room, scanning it quickly before heading over to them. He was wearing a dinosaur hoodie and looked incredibly flustered, pointing at Sjin and Sips frantically and making hand gestures.

"Calm down Teep! Slower, I can't understand you when you talk that fast!" Lewis complained as Teep gave him a sarcastic look and began signing again, slower. Echo watched in amazement as Lewis slowly deciphered the sign language.

"Alright... Sips and Sjin, someone is asking, no, looking for you..." Lewis said slowly as Teep first shook his head and then nodded. Duncan rolled his eyes slightly.

"Where's Zoey when you need her..." Duncan mumbled as Sjin and Sips watched in amusement as Lewis struggled to get the last name, Teep signing extra slowly. Kim and Echo giggled, causing Alex to catch their eyes and exaggerated a mocking look of disapproval towards them.

"No... Teep I'm so sorry, I can't get the last name!" Lewis looked over in despair at Sjin and Sips. "A teacher is on the warpath for you, any idea who it would be?"

Sjin and Sips shrugged. "Loads of options really..." Sjin grinned cheekily as Lewis facepalmed, turning back to Teep, who was motioning to his head. Something inside Echo's brain suddenly clicked.

"Hey... Teep?" She asked as the boy turned towards her, puzzled as he failed to recognise her. "Do you mean 'head' teacher?" She asked, motioning to her head. Teep nodded frantically, clapping his hands together as Sips and Sjin turned an unnatural shade of green.

"Does he know we are here?!" Sips asked Teep quickly, picking up his bag as Teep nodded. "Well, Echo, it was lovely meeting you but Sjin and I have got to run."

"Literally!" Sjin added, waving a quick goodbye as the pair ran past the double doors and out through a fire escape. Echo and Kim burst out into laughter as Teep sat down on the floor, shaking his head slowly at Lewis.
