Lane's POV
"Lane, Shane you are going to be late. Get down here." Mrs. Looper yells from down stairs.
I look over at Shane and ask him through the mind connection we have " Are you ready? Mrs. Looper is calling us" He nods, we head down stairs and sat down at the table with Mrs.Looper as she tells us to eat as much as we want. Our new house is pretty big compared to the one we lived in before. This house is built on the side of one of the many mountains in Colorado Springs, Colorado. When you pull up to the house you can see the white wood siding with crystal teal blue shudders expanding four stories high, that is if you count the four car garage as a floor. In the dining room sitting at the table,. I look around in slight awe of the beautiful grey wood floors that stretch the expanse of this level and the crisp white cabinets with grey marble countertops in the kitchen. I look over Shane's shoulder to see the living room the fluffy white rug surrounded by a dark blue couch and loveseat. Off to the side is a Black bookcase with an extra big papasan chair that always seems to call to me.
"She seems really nice. Shane, do you think we can actually stay here? " I ask Shane as we take a bite of the ham and cheese omelet Mrs.Looper made for us. Looking at the ham and cheese omelet and toast, and the fresh orange juice. I really hope we can eat like this for the rest of our lives. Any time Shane and I talk to each other we talk in our mind-link. Some might call it twin telepathy. Some might say we are just weird. But it is something that we have always done, it helps Shane considering he doesn't like talking aloud. He is very self conscious of his voice but i love his voice. His throat was injured when we were about 8 years old, since then he hasn't talked out loud very much.
Outloud I say "Thanks Mrs.Looper, it is really delicious".
I look over, "Shane, do you think it is ok to call Mrs.Looper, Leah?" He responds "lets see if she will keep us first" I nod with a sad look considering the other homes we have been in some didn't want us because we creeped them out or we were too old or they would use us to take out their frustration either by beating us or by having sex with us and that is how Shanes throat was injured. I don't think Leah is like that because she has a different aura than the other people we lived with.
As I eat, I think about the new school we are about to attend and the fact that it is our junior year. We had already made sure that Shane and I are on the same schedule so we won't be separated.
I wonder about the kids in Hollow Academy since it is completely different from the previous schools we have attended. Hollow Academy is for rich kids and at the age of sixteen we are able to access the white family inheritance from the death of our parents. But Mrs.Looper said that we won't need it as she has more than enough money to care for us.
Mrs.Looper is a famous fashion designer, She has worked with the top magazines and celebrities in the film and fashion industry. In our current house, she has a studio on the third floor of the house. She also has an office where she does her meetings. Apparently our mom was the one who helped set the company up so half belongs to us as part of our inheritance.
As our mom's friend and business partner, She had looked for us when she came back after working in Italy for a year to the news of our parents death and no trace of us. She was only able to find us due to the police report of the abuse we suffered at the hands of the foster family we were with before.
She was a close friend to our parents and was supposed to be given custody of us in the case of something happening to our parents. But since the fire destroyed everything there wasn't any way of knowing where we were supposed to go so we were put in foster care. Luckily we were able to stay together.
I was brought out of my thoughts as I heard Shane's voice in my head "are you okay? It is time to go." I look over at the clock on the stove and nod as we get ready to leave the house.
As I look at Shane I see the mirror image of myself. Long white hair down to the middle of our back pulled into a loose ponytail, bright green eyes the color of emeralds. The school uniform is a navy blue blazer, navy blue slacks, and a white button down. The only difference in our appearance is the color ribbon we are wearing in our hair. He is wearing navy blue and I am wearing a white one.
Walking into our new classroom we look around and take in the surroundings. The classroom is big and the desks and chairs are nicer than the ones at our previous schools.i guess because this is a school for the wealthy. The desks are made of hardwood with a carving of flowers down the legs. The chairs are similar to office chairs. Two people are seated per desk. We have some classmates come and introduce themselves. We greet them back and of course we get the "OMG are you twins?" or, "WOW, you look like the same person!" I tell Shane "Here we go again" with a little giggle that was hidden behind my hand.
I smile as I answer our curious classmates. Shane doesn't talk much so I usually do all the talking. As I was talking to our classmates, Shane and I had an overwhelming pull to look over at the door. Just then a guy walks in that is tall and has shaggy black hair and the body of a god. oh i mean a person that works out at a gym. In my head I hear Shane say "Do you see him?" "Yes". "He is kind of scary but very hot" I say and Shane agrees.
At lunch we were asked to join a group of girls named Carrah, Kayli, and Nickie. We ate with them and became part of their group very quickly. More like Nickie sucked us into the group but we were okay with it.
Carrah is an artsy and musical type of girl with beautiful caramel skin and really curly hair.
Kayli is a bookworm type of girl who is in a wheelchair, with glasses, with a kind disposition with flowing brown hair.
Nickie is a loud and funny girl that is really protective of her group of friends, she seems like the "mom" of the group. She has beautiful long dark red hair that reaches right above her butt.
Shane was even talking to them and smiling. If Shane is talking then we are in the presence of great people.
Shane asked the group about the big, hot, scary looking guy we saw earlier. Carrah response "oh, that is Blake Black."
Kayli added, " he only looks scary but he is actually a male version of Nickie, and she is scarier than he is."
Nickie said "he is my twin, we are similar but he is nowhere near as loud as i am. nor as talkative as me but just as protective of the people he cares about. Oh speak of the devil, Blake, come meet my new friends." She yells across the dinning room to her brother.
