Braxton- “What are you doing home from school?" My mother’s tone was cold, but her eyes were colder. “The question is why are you here?” I asked as I walked past her and into the house. I didn’t have a good relationship with my mother, mostly because the only thing she cared about was her image. This is assumably the only reason she is scolding me right now. I would bet money on it. “Don’t try to change the subject and don’t walk away from me while I am talking to you.” Rolling my eyes as I kept walking, I slung my bag off my shoulder and tossed it to the butler that was standing near a small table in the middle of the foyer. I ignored her because I knew it annoyed her. Walking down the hall to the grand kitchen, I passed by the cook that was busy cooking. Since I didn’t alert the staff that I would be coming in today, it was likely my mother, that had the staff come in. Unless someone was present in the house, the only staff we kept available at all times was a maid and a few wa

Izariah-“Does everyone have their tickets?” The professor asked the entire class after he handed them out.It was now Friday and while not much had happened these last few days, I now had a feeling that something was going to go terribly wrong. Braxton has ignored me since I left the classroom, he tried talking to me in. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought he had decided to leave me alone.I caught him glancing at me, but he would quickly look away when I looked in his direction. His leaving me alone didn’t seem as simple, no matter how nice it was not to be harassed by him. The only one that hasn’t straight ignored me was Jace, but he only just gave me a small smile and that was it.“Sir, why do only a selective few get first-class? There are more seats in first class than six.” A student from the third-row seats asked.“Are you paying for this trip?” The Professor asked and then brushed the student off as he continued. “As I told everyone during our last class, we would b

Izariah-“Mel!” I yelled out to my best friend, which had just fallen through the ice of the lake we were playing on.I started to panic as I watched her tiny arms try to reach for something to grab onto. Getting onto my hands and knees, I crawled toward her but stopped when I heard the ice cracking beneath me. Not wanting to fall through the ice as well, I looked around to see if there was a stick or something I could use for her to grab ahold of.Not seeing anything, I burst into tears. We knew we weren’t supposed to play on the lake when it was frozen. The only reason we went out was that the ball we had been playing with rolled out onto the lake after kicking it too hard.Neither of us knew how to swim, but since it was frozen, we thought it would be okay to get the ball. Once we realized that it was fun to skate around on the slick surface, we ignored the warnings from our parents. We were small five-year-olds, so it didn’t seem that dangerous.We have seen others on the lake man

Izariah-It took me a while to find the room I was given, but thankfully I wasn’t sharing with anyone. Everyone else had to share, but I didn’t. I knew it was due to Braxton, but right now I didn’t care.I did not want to be in the same room with someone who was going to end up stabbing me in the back or something while I slept. With how everything has been going, I knew it was a possibility. At least now I could have a place to escape away from everyone.Opening my door, I sucked in a deep breath when my gaze fell upon the room. The room was huge, but that wasn’t what caught my gaze. It was the large window that made up the window on the far side of the room.There was a sliding glass door that led out onto the balcony, which overlooked the beach and a beautiful view of the ocean. I started walking towards the window, only to stop when I noticed something sitting on the king-size bed in the room. A duffle bag sat on the bed, with a fancy paper sack next to it.Not sure what it was, I

Izariah- Returning to the bonfire, I no longer had any desire to hang out with anyone. The only reason I agreed to join everyone was in the hopes of getting to spend time with Jace. There was something about him that spoke to my soul. I didn’t know why, but I believed that the calmness I felt around him would open the door to us becoming good friends. Since arriving though, I hadn’t seen him. When I arrived, Lex pulled me into a group he was talking to, but I didn’t know anyone. Lex didn’t seem like a bad guy, but he was a massive flirt. I am sure that every girl he had talked to had had his attention at some point. On the other hand, he was rather charming. Every girl he spoke to lit up like he made their world spin. I didn’t feel any attraction toward him, but I couldn’t deny that there was something about him that made me feel at ease. Once I looked past his flirting, he wasn’t bad. In a short time, I learned he had an intelligence that very few people could achieve. “I was won
