Kestrel stopped at her locker.

She opened it and placed her books inside. She took out her math textbooks and notebooks. She closed the door and what was there surprised her.

There was a boy on the locker beside hers. He seemed to be placing things inside. She couldn't see his face because of the opened door of his was in the way.

So, she had to wait till he was finished.

Usually, Kestrel wouldn't pay attention to someone with the locker beside hers but he seemed new.

Finally, he closed the door and his eyes spotted her.

He jumped "It's not really nice to sneak up on someone like that." Wait a second, that voice...

She took a good look at him. He had copper hair and amber eyes, like Chameleon's. His shoulders were broad and his face was the same as his. Kestrel could say someone had copy pasted Chameleon and this guy. He was wearing a black leather jacket over an orange tank top and jeans with white converse shoes. His hands were stuffed in his jeans pockets.

In other words, he was just as charming as Chameleon.

She rolled her eyes and gestured towards her locker "Your locker is beside mine. I wouldn't call that sneaking up on someone."

She extended a hand out "Kestrel, Kestrel Blood."

He shook it "Salamander. You can call me Sal."

"You new here?" She asked.

He nodded "Yep."

Finally... Kestrel thought as chemistry ended.

She turned to Chameleon who had an eyebrow raised. "What?" She asked.

"You've been dying to tell me something all day" He started.

"How do you know?" She said, confusion clear in her voice.

"I can tell" He shrugged before leaning back, his hands on the back of his head "So, what is it?"

"Well, I met this guy today..." She started.

His eyes widened and he firmly put his hands on her shoulders "Did he hurt you? Did he threaten you? What's his name? W-"

"Woah, calm down. He wasn't mean,"

"Oh" He said, feeling foolish and a bit flustered.

"He's new here"

"What does he look like?"

"You" She whispered.

"Me?"

"Yeah" She said, recalling the resemblance between the two males "He looked just like you. Which was odd-"

"What's his name?" He asked quickly.

"Salamander"

Something flashed in his amber irises and he muttered "Shit, he's here."

As if on cue, Scarlet rushed into the room. She sat down on the seat beside the two, panting.

"Have you run a marathon?" Kestrel asked.

"No" She breathed.

"Have yo-" Chameleon started but she cut him off "Yes. It's him."

"Is he really that bad? He seems nice" She said.

"Keyword: seems" Scarlet said.

-----

"So you're saying that Salamander is your twin, meaning Scarlet and Cassandra's older brother"

"Yes"

"Let me guess" Kestrel said "You don't exactly have the best relationship with him?"

The two siblings shook their heads.

Kestrel sighed "What exactly has he done to make you hate him?"

"You'll see" the amber eyed girl said "Say, would your friends mind if you came over to our house for today to meet him?"

"I'll ask Dune."

:)

How are you all today?

How was it?

Did it surprise you?
