"Of course we're siblings, could you not tell?" They both laughed. I looked closer. Yeah, they're siblings alright. They both had Dark, Brown hair and green eyes.

The only difference between the two is that sarah has freckles and Eren doesn't.

I chuckled, mostly to myself.

Cassie looked at me and I shrugged. I playfully punched her arm when I heard sirens.

I pushed the metal doors open and ran outside, my brown hair bobbing as I ran.  As soon as I did, I gasped.

The other side of the building was on fire. The only classrooms that were connected to it, were Theatre and culinary.

If I was guessing, I'd say that someone in culinary had started the fire. Sometimes you'd get those little accidents, They never had a fire, but they were pretty close.

Cassie came up behind me, almost knocking me down as she slowed her pace. Her mouth wide open in shock.

"Someone fucked up..." She whispered. I nodded unenthusiastically.

"Do you think we'll get the day off? Since we both have theatre next period." Cassie asked, hopefully. I shrugged. 'you just want to go shopping...'

"Maybe we could go shopping. You know, Ryan's throwing a party next week. I was thinking, maybe, that we could go...." She trailed off. I raised an eyebrow.

"Fine. But don't expect me to buy some slutty dress, cassie. I mean it."

Cassie gave me a look that said, "i would never!".

Ryan cavalier. The Quarterback of the most important football team, The Jefferson Jocks. I had a crush on him in 5th grade, but as I grew up, I realized what kind of prick he really was.

"Attention students!" A voice came over the intercom. "School has been cancelled early today due to this... unfortunate event. Please leave in an orderly fashion. Thank you."

Cassie and I shared a look. Looks like we're going shopping.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sasha! Look at this one!"

I walked over to the rack of dresses, sighing as I went. I stared at the Blue, mid-length dress. It was moderately appropriate, not too long but not too short.

"I like it. How much is it?" I asked, tentatively. I have a budget.

Cassie looked at the price tag and smiled. "It's in your budget, sasha. Don't worry, I'll get it for you."

I opened my mouth to tell her no, But she clamped her hand over my mouth and shook her head.

"I'm going to buy it. No buts."

"T-thanks, cassie." I'm not used to people buying me things, I've always taken care of myself after my father's death. I shook my head, I shouldn't be thinking of something so negative on a day like this.

Cassie smiled again and Took the dress off the Rack. We looked around for a bit, looking at shoes to go with it. We Eventually found Dark blue heels that were a little too big.

As we walked up to The cash register, I felt like someone was watching me. I turned my head, Looking around me. When I didn't see anyone suspicious, I sighed softly.

Cassie payed for the Dresses and shoes and We walked out of the mall, bags in hand. I took my Keys out of my pocket and I opened the trunk.

I grabbed the Bags from Cassie's hand and gently layed them in. I walked over to my car door, pausing to look around me. ' this is weird...' i thought nervously, as I felt eyes on me.

I quickly opened my car door and scurried in, shutting the door as soon as I was inside. I closed my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

But that relief was cut short as a sharp knock Flooded my ears. I jumped, on the verge of shrieking. I opened my eyes to see Cassie at the passenger side, raising an eyebrow. She mouthed, 'Are ya gonna let me in?'

I blushed furiously, leaning across the seat to open her door. She shuffled in and looked at me, concern etched in her eyes. I shrugged.

"You scared me" I Said, putting the key into the ignition. I turned the key, expecting it to start. It sputtered and Shrieked. I gasped and hopped out of my car, Racing to open the hood.

"No, no, no! Not my baby!" I gasped, as smoke drifted out from under the hood. I groaned, and slammed the hood down. I heard footsteps coming from behind me and I turned around, ready to kick someone's ass.

"Having car trouble, sweet cheeks?"

God damnit.

I clenched my fists. "No, my car is perfectly fine. And don't call me that!". I answered, bitterly. Eren laughed and walked up to the hood of the car. I glared at him.

"Let's take a look, shall we." He said, as he popped the hood open. Smoke Hit him in the face, Eren coughed violently and slammed the hood down, almost catching his fingers.

I raised my eyebrows.

Eren grimaced, coughing again. Cassie was watching from the car, her eyebrow raised. She rolled down her window and stuck her head out of the open window.

"So? Are we going to have to call a Tow Truck?"

Eren smiled, almost mischievously. I eyed him wearily. ' Try something so I can kick your ass.'

"Well, i was thinking that I could give you a lift. It wouldn't be a problem, Swe- Sasha." Eren answered. I thought about it for a bit and I eventually nodded.

Cassie grabbed our bags from the Trunk, panting slightly. I grabbed a few bags from her skinny arms, rolling my eyes when she tried to bite me.

"I got it, Sasha!"

"No, you don't. You and your noodle arms need some help." I answered back, walking over to Eren's Black pick-up truck, setting the bags in the bed of the truck.

I opened the passenger door and Froze when I heard a foreign voice coming from behind me. I turned around as A boy, probably in his late teens, approached the truck.

"Hey there!" The Teenager said, cheerfully. I waved and answered with a "hi".

Eren turned around and Froze, his eyes focused on me and The teenager. His nostrils flared and I backed up.

"Sasha, Cassie, get in the truck.. Now." I quickly shuffled inside, dragging cassie with me, sitting in the middle. Cassie quickly shut the door and a look of shock and fear Flickered on her face.

"Cassie, what's wrong?" I asked, concern lacing my voice. I grabbed her hand.

She Quickly shook her head. "Remember that Gang that got busted last year? It was all over the news."

I shook my head.

Cassie lowered her voice, eyeing the Teenager. "Apparently, Someone ratted them out. They ran a drug ring, and did...other stuff, horrible stuff. That Teenager right there, was apart of the gang. I remember seeing him in handcuffs, on the news".

I gasped.

"Eren looked like He knew him. You should've seen his face, his nostrils flared and his face was all red." I whispered. Eren locked eyes with me, as if he heard me.

The Teenager shook Eren's hand, and walked back to his car. A beat up Dodge charger.

Eren stomped over to the Truck, Opening his door and hurrying inside. I leaned against cassie, not wanting to be close to Eren. But he noticed this of course, and hurt flashed across his face before it returned to it's original blank stare.

"Who was that?" I asked tentatively.

"...."

"O-okay, you don't have to te-" I answered, stuttering.

Eren grabbed my hand. "That was my cousin. Apparently he moved back into town.. anyways, where to?"

I blushed, noticing how warm his hands felt against my skin. "217  west walnut st."

Eren nodded and started the truck, pulling out of the parking lot.
