[No, it's my turn Sadie! Now, give me the microphone!]

Now I finally have the microphone! Okay, where were we?

[Shut up, Sadie! I do have something to say.]

When we finished our meeting, I went to my room to pack up for the meet up. What meet up? I have no idea.

When I finished packing, I went down to the kitchen to eat.

I took out two soda cans and a large bowl full of cheetos puffs. I looked at my watch. What was taking Sadie so long? I thought. Don't worry, she'll be fine. Horus told me.

I was worried for Sadie but at the same time anyone who gets in her way will go home with their faces rearranged.

Someone snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up and saw Zia smirking at me. I looked at her and smiled sheepishly. She then gave me a backpack, I looked at her confusedly. She just smiled at me and said "Ask Sadie before you open the bag."

I grumbled and said "Fine."

"See you later. Carter." Zia left and pat my back lightly. The sound of her voice sounded so calm. After I finished eating, I waited for Sadie so she can tell me why Zia gave me a backpack. I decided to watch TV while I waited.

A few minutes later, Sadie finally came. "What took you so long?" I asked her.

"I decided to walk instead of using a portal." She answered and went to her room but not before taking a large bowl of cheetos puffs.

I turned off the TV, went upstairs and knocked on Sadie's door. Sadie opened the door looked at me then at the backpack then back at me. She pointed at the backpack.

"Zia said you know what to do with this." I told her before she could ask anything.

She stared at the backpack again.

"Come In, show me the bag." She said, took the bag away from my hold and opened it but not showing me.

"Show me." I told her. She lsughed and showed me what was inside. Inside were 2 notebooks, pencil bag, a biography book, a geography book, a folder with lots of extra paper for notes and more things for…school?

"You're going to school." She said simply, in fact too simply.

"You're kidding." I said hoping she would say yes.

She snorted "I'm not kidding."

[No Sadie, I do not look stupid, stop bugging me!]

I've never even went to a school. I was home-schooled by my dad while we were traveling. I was thinking about how the school would feel since it's gonna' be my first.

Sadie cut me off from my train of thoughts by snapping her fingers in front of my face and repeating "Hello? Earth to Idiot." I shook my head so I won't space out again. I looked around the room and saw a backpack. I pointed at it "Is that yours?"

She looked at the backpack, confusion written all over her face. "No." she responded and went to take the backpack.

She opened the backpack and found a note. I nudged her arm telling her to read it aloud; she nodded and started reading the note.

Sadie and Carter, school will start tomorrow. No need school uniforms so wear anything you like!

Zia ;)

We both knew that there was no changing the decisions so I went back to my room. It was obvious Sadie was gonna change her bag so a side bag. I checked my bag again. This can't be happening. See, Sadie and I have one thing alike, we're not sociable. You might say, "What? Sadie seems sociable." Yeah, because people talk to her FIRST. She doesn't really start up a conversation. Compared to her. I'm really not sociable. We prefer people talking to us first. Then we make two options. Ignore or answer. I would mostly answer but in an awkward way but Sadie would just straight on ignore. I don't know where she got that attitude from. I once asked Dad if Mom was like that, he'd just laugh lightly and smile sadly. I smiled to myself, I knew my sister a bit too much. I know her a lot more than she knows herself. I get over- protective. But it's only because I care.

[Sadie: Aww, Carter.] [Carter: You're really a mood breaker aren't you?]

Then there's Zia. Ever since she was hidden, I became crazy. I watched TV and I heard my name. I thought it was her calling for me. That was stupid, I know. One time, Sadie and I were walking through the streets and I saw a Graffiti that said 'Carter'. I ran to that wall and started smashing it. But, I would never tell Zia that. My deep thoughts were cut off when someone knocked on my door. I looked at the door and thought if I should open it.

"Yes, Carter. Open the bloody door already! I've been knocking here for already 3 minutes!" Sadie's voice rammed through the door. I quickly stood up and ran to the door. As soon as I opened it, Sadie went inside and sat on my bed.

"Welcome." I said sarcastically. She glared at me, "You know how long I was waiting outside your door? I was scared when you didn't answer! I thought something happened to you. I was gonna blow up your door." I scratched my head, "Uh, sorry?" She raised her eyebrow at me, "Sorry? Whatever Carter," she said.

I don't know what happened to her. She softened and looked at me, "Don't you wanna know what I talked about with Anubis?" She seems so shaken up. I nodded slowly and sat next to her. I kept quiet as I waited for her to speak. "Remember when Amos said that there were 'other Gods'? He was right. I still don't get why he hid it from us though. I don't care if there are more Gods. Don't they realize? If we help them, the aura of the gods will get stronger and more monsters will notice us and more trouble will come. Who knows, Carter? What if after we help them, they'll suddenly start attacking us?" I laughed lightly at her conclusion. "What's funny?" She asked with a frown. I pointed at her, "You. It's been a long time you said something that was bothering you. I didn't even need to figure it out. You told me." "Is it that surprising?" She asked. I nodded, "Coming from the Great Sadie Kane? Yes." I laughed. She frowned and hit me with a pillow. She looked at me with confusion, "So what were you thinking about?" "What?" I questioned. She waved her hand around as she was explaining, "You know, when I was knocking at your door furiously but you still didn't answer?" "Ohh." I said, getting it. She rolled her eyes at me, "You are seriously so slow." I flicked her forehead, "It was nothing. I was just thinking about what's gonna happen." I lied. She sighed, "Yeah, right. Keep on lying. I'm going back now. Wear something normal tomorrow. Good night." "Yeah, you too. Good night."

She left the room. I laid down on my bed. Tomorrow's gonna be a big day. I closed my eyes and let sleep take over me.
