Chapter 8 - The Eigth

"Hey, Ark." I said.

Principal Ark had been enemies in high school but became friends as they grew up. They wanted their kids to be friends and their wives hit it off as friends so that's how the four of us including Jessica all came to be friends. Bella just lives not too far from here and her parents are never home, always out on business trips. Both of her parents work in the same company so they are both gone.

"Looking pretty Tiger Lily! Are you guys ready go?" Ark rubbed his hands together. Instead of his usual suit, he was wear gym shorts, a t-shirt, and a sweatband. I laughed.

"Ark, were just picking up trash and scrubbing paint." Dad chuckled. "I told him."

I grabbed my gym bag and Bella grabbed hers. We all made out way out of my room where Zack and Issac were waiting. Issac stared and Bella noticed.

"Issac," She grinned. "Your drooling." Issac looked alarmed and wiped at his mouth. There was nothing there, of course, but he reddened a little. Zack threw his arm over Issac's shoulder.

"What's this I hear? You checking out my little sis?" He joked. We walked out the front door and I paused.

"Woah, woah, woah, hold the phone. I am your older sister." I said. Zack snorted.

"How many times have we had this conversation? I am the older sibling. We may be twins, but I am superior to you. I have the blood of the older generation, little sister."

Dad laughed.

"Actually, you both are exactly the same age. You were both born in record timing, within the same second. So really, neither of you is the older sibling."

Me and Zack both stared at him. Then at each other.

"Wait, so really, Tiger can be the older sibling?" Issac asked.

Everyone laughed and we all got into Ark's car.

Bella sat in the front, chatting with Ark, I sat in the back in between Issac and Zack. I leaned my head on Zack's shoulder and sighed. He turned his head to he could look at me.

"You okay?" I nodded.

Ark stopped at a light and looked at me.

"You look pretty tired Tiger. Not enough sleep?"

I shook my head. "I'm fine."

"But-" the light turned green and he went back to driving. We pulled up to the school and hopped out. We climbed the steps and into the halls which were spotless. No trash, student were sitting around and talking. There was a big banner that said, "Welcome Finn University!"

I heard Ark cough and walk away. I turned and started to chase after him but Zack grabbed my waist.

"You didn't tell me that Finn University was coming!" I snarled. "We haven't seen them since the beginning of the school year and they don't know what we look like, let alone, our rules!"

"Finn let me know at the last second, it wasn't my fault! And since your leaving, we don't have a choice!" Ark said as he went upstairs to his office.

I growled and passed out the walkies from the office.

"Radio me if anything is wrong with the schedule." I instructed. "Go get everyone set up for the clean-up. We don't have all day."

We split and I grabbed papers for the admission desk. Hannah walked by and stared at me. She looked away when I glared at her. I took the papers and left.

Hopefully she won't be trouble today.

I walked around the school ushering everyone to the courtyards and when everything was done, I headed back to the front of the school. I stopped just inside the tinted front doors and watched as three buses pulled into the parking lot and stopped in front of the school steps. My council was waiting at the top of the steps.

"Look alive people," I spoke into my walkie. "It's go time."
