'Alright I'm heading over to Theia's to study. I'm going to be late, so I'll have dinner when I get back.' I say walking towards the front door and picking up my house keys.

'Okay honey see you tonight. Oh and please actually study instead of gossiping with your friends.' Dad says as he clicks through the TV channels.

'Yeah okay bye.' I say rolling my eyes and closing the door behind me. I walk over to Theia's which takes me no time at all, seeing as we live across from each other. As I'm about to knock on the door it swings open. 'What the fuck!' I jump back in shock. 'You scared the shit out of me Theia'.

'Oh it's just you'. Theia says with disappointment on her face and in her voice.

'Yeah well I'm not happy to see you either'. I muse, lightly pushing past her and heading up the stairs to her room. I hear her footsteps following behind me.

'Sorry babe I thought you were the delivery guy. You know how I get with my food.' She says.

'Yeah I sure do.' I say walking into her room.

'Hey.' The twins say at the same time.

'Hi my beauties.' I walk over to them and give them both a hug. 'So what did use order anyway?' They all just look at each other and smile. 'What?' I say, sitting down on the floor, taking out my books.

'Okay so we couldn't decide so we...' Kayla starts

'No you didn't'. I say, bringing my head up to look at them. They laugh at my knowing.

'Yeah we did, we ordered the Theia special.' Kerrys says whilst doing jazz hands.

'How in the hell are we going to eat pizza, Chinese and sushi?' I say putting my hands on my head and shaking it in disbelief.

'We're going to need the energy aren't we? We have four tests that we have to study for.' Theia tries to justify this unnecessary amount of food she's ordered.

'Hmmm yeah that is true.' I say leaning my back against the bed thinking that she's actually right and plus I am quite hungry. Twenty minutes later, the food had arrived and we got down to actually studying.

'So my mum told me that the cops told her the reason they took our DNA is because they found some DNA under Bee's fingernails.' Theia says putting down her calculus book.

'Oh my God, seriously? Well at least we know that she fought back.' Kayla replies.

'I know! But let's hope that we actually found out who this psychopath is.' I say grabbing another slice of pizza.

'How do you feel about art?' I ask the girls.

'Oh hang on, I've dropped my pen down the side of the bed.' Kayla stretches.

'For me, I just need to figure out a muse for my art project and then I'll feel a lot better-' I carryon before Kayla interrupts.

'What's this?' Kayla lifts a box up.

Kerrys looks up. 'It's a pregnancy test.'

'Yes I know that, thank you very much for that sister.' Kayla rolls her eyes.

'Well then why would you ask such a stupid question, you can see it's a pregnancy test...' The twins continue squabble. Meanwhile, Theia looks lost in thought.

'Theia?' I call out to her.

'I might be pregnant.' That stops them in their tracks. 'I haven't taken the test yet, it's been sat under my bed for the past week. I know I come across as strong and confident but I'm fucking scared.' She gasps the last bit out.

'Oh babe.' Kerrys puts her arm around her. 'Why didn't you tell us you were going through this?'

'Use have had other stuff on your mind.' Theia shrugs.

'Nothing is more important to us than each other.' I say rubbing her arm, the twins nodding in agreement.

'Do you want to take it now? No pressure but I for one would love to know if I'm having my first niece or nephew.' Kerrys shrieks at first but one look at Theia makes her calm down. 'Or not, if that's not what you want to do. No judgements here.'

'Let's just do the test and then I'll figure out my next step.' Theia takes the box and heads towards her en-suite.

'We're right here.' Kayla shouts out. 'I feel terrible she's been going through this without us.' Kayla shakes her head.

'Well we're here for her now, that's the most important thing.' I say.

Theia walks out. 'The box says to leave it for three minutes.'

'I take it it'll be Luca's then...' Theia nods at Kayla's question.

'Luca seems like a great guy that would respect any decision you make.' Kerrys says.

'Yeah and you're both hot so your baby will have good genes.' Theia chuckles at my statement. 'Earlier you said you were scared. What of?' I ask.

She waits before replying. 'I'm scared of being pregnant. Scared of my mom's reaction. I'm scared of my life changing but most of all, I'm scared of how much I'll want to keep it.' She says, slightly shaking.

We all gasp, Kerrys the most excited out of all of us. 'See I knew it.' Kerrys claps her hands. 'Well I for one cannot wait to meet my niece. I can just imagine her in the cutest tutus that I'm going to buy for her. Obviously I'll be her favourite auntie.'

'It might be a boy.' Kayla says.

'Well I'll buy him little suits then.' Kerrys shrugs

'I'm gonna be it's favourite auntie.' I say pouting.

'I don't think so-'

'Guys. Let's wait and see if I'm pregnant first.' Theia chuckles. 'I think it's done now so I'll go check.' Theia runs off to the bathroom.

'I love Auntie Kerrys!' That's what the t-shirts and sweats are going to say.' Kerrys nods.

'I think use are both living in a state of delusion because I will be the number one auntie.' Kayla perks up.

'She will love me more.'

Don't think so, she will-'

'I'm not pregnant!' She announces , deflating all of our baby bubble.

So after hours of studying and a pregnancy scare yesterday I personally believe that we are all ready to take our finals.

'Arrrr I can't do this'. Kayla says turning around and banging her head on her locker.

'Oh God Kayla calm down. Just breath, take your time and do your best'. I say giving her a hug.

'Yeah everything is gonna be fine. Just think about the party'. Theia says moving he snacks around in her locker to put her books in.

'What party?' Kerrys asks.

'The one, one of us will inevitably have when all these bullshit tests are over.' Theia replies. 'Most likely Sage.' She looks a little preoccupied.

'Hmmm yeah I can't wait for your party, Sage'. Kayla massages her temples.

'Well no party for any of us until finals are over. So we've got this!' The bell rings which means its time for Art, we all pick up our bags close our lockers and head to class. Yeah, we're definitely going to need to party our stresses away once finals are over.

'I really don't see the point of Art, its not like Mr. Dyme teachers us anything'. Theia stresses as we walk into class.

Theia's been a bit quiet the past few days since finding out she's not pregnant. After her scare, she brushed it off, saying that thoughts of a baby were wishful thinking and she wouldn't have had time for one anyway. But I know my girl, she's upset at the fact she's not pregnant. On top of that, she's been avoiding Luca like the plague. She doesn't need to though, it's not like she's done anything wrong.

Luca walks in late into Art class and normally he sits next to Theia, but today, he barely gave her a second glance.

'Well?' I whisper to Theia.

'Well what?' She asks, not looking at me.

'Are you not going to say anything to him?' I ask.

'What's there to say?' She shrugs. 'He ignored me, so clearly there's nothing left for us.'

'Well that's because you've been ignoring him for the past few days. Maybe if you let him know why you've been acting the way you have, I'm sure things will sort itself out.' I implore to her.

'Maybe. I don't want to think about it right now.' She says.

'Are you still upset that... you know, it was negative?' Kerrys braves.

'Are you kidding? If I was pregnant, my life would've been over. So fuck that shit!' She replies unconvincingly.

I know she's just putting on a brave face because she's not even munching on anything and you know Theia: she's the queen of food.

I look back at Luca and see he looks lost in thought. I give him a small smile before turning back. What am I witnessing? Mr Dyme has to be high because he's stood at the front explaining to us how to draw the sun, which in his mind is a square. Weird!

'...Yeah babe, that was the best weekend ever. You're so good to me.' Bailey squeaks on the phone from her seat. I didn't even realise she was in the room. 'I just love running my fingers through your brown curly hair while you trEAT me right.' Ugh does she not realise where we are?

Kerrys and Belize are sat giving each other evils and Kayla is giving Bailey a dirty look as she carries on talking to her invisible man.

'No babe, I'm not busy.' Bailey carries on. '...Hehe babe, don't say that. Okay say that.'

'I'm gonna ram that phone down her throat if she doesn't shut up.' Kayla grunts, making me laugh.

I look over to Theia and see she's drawn something. Upon closer inspection, I see she's drawn a depiction of Bailey with her head hanging off and blood pouring out.

'Hmm. That's literally how I feel about her daily.' Kayla looks at her picture and they both nod in agreement.

Anyway, moving on from that violent picture, my phone buzzes and I pull it out to read the message.

How's Art going?

It's going

Still not met the brief objective

What's the brief?

I have to find a muse

So just draw about something you love

Easy said than done. But he has a point: Something I love. I skim through it and it says '...the muse must be the centrepiece of the project and the art depicted must be of something or someone you love, hate or desire.'

I don't hate anyone... so I'll focus on love and desire. Love and desire, love and desire... Kree! There's no reason why it shouldn't be him. He is never going to see the project though. I don't know if he even feels the same way, so I don't want to scare him off.

I hurry to reply back to him.

You're a genuis.

I know.

Looking forward to seeing it.

Oh boy! You are never going to see this!

School is out! I'm leisurely taking my time to leave, when Bailey barges past me.

'Move bitch.' She sneers. 'Some of us have a man to ride.'

'Don't forget to tell him about your crabs.' I shout out.

She cuts her eye at me and walks towards a blacked out SUV. Paying her no mind, I look over to Kree and see he's shoving Angel into his car. He seems so stressed out lately, and Angel turning up to school in his usual hungover self doesn't help.

'Are we studying tonight?' Kerrys calls out, breaking my focus away from Kree.

'Err, can we take a break today?' I ask. My mind is way too preoccupied to be focusing on extra studies. 'We've been studying so hard, I think we deserve a break.' I continue.

'Uh oh, oh yeah. You just want to see your man tonight don't you?' Kerrys smirks. 'Don't worry, I'd be the same... if I had a man. Go get him girl.'

'Thanks. See you all tomorrow.' Shay climbs into my car and I drive off.

***

I park up in my driveway and put my hand break on. Before hopping out of the car, I turn to Shay. 'I'm just going to go see Kree. I'll see you in there later.'

'You're obsessed with him. You literally just saw him in school.' Shay says.

'Like you're not obsessed with Luna.' I reply.

'Meh.' She shrugs.

'Is everything okay between you too?' I ask her.

'It will be.' She replies.

'Do you want to talk about it?' I ask her.

'Now? When you're desperate for your man? No thanks. I'm not going to deprive you of him any longer. So go.' She replies.

'Are you sure?'

'Yes.' She chuckles. 'Now go.'

'Okay. Save me some food.' I shout walking towards Kree's door.

'No!' She shouts back.

'Thank you!' Sis. Can't live with them, can't kill them.

I get to Kree's door and I'm about to knock on when I hear a glass smash, followed by raised voices coming from the other side of the door.

'...You think you can just carry on the way you are and there won't be any consequences? You're fucked up bro!' Kree seethes. 'I'm gonna have to call X to come and deal with your ass if you carry on. He seems to be the only one that can tame you.'

'Stop with the empty threats bro, it's getting boring.' Angel shouts. 'You know what? Call him. See if I give a shit.'

Muffled sounds prevent me from hearing some of the conversation and the sounds of another glass hits the wall, making me gasp.

'You know what? FUCK YOU!'

I don't have time to react, as the door swings open and Kree stops in his tracks.

'Sage!' He exhales out. 'Wha- what are you doing here?' He blinks, trying to bring his voice back down to normal but I can still hear the anger seeping through.

'Um, I thought that you'd want some company.' He stares at me blankly. 'You know what? Never mind. I've come at a bad time. I'll leave you too it.' I say gently, before turning to walk away.

'Wait!' Kree grabs my forearm. 'How much of that did you hear?'

'Hear what.' I say out quickly. He clearly knows I'm lying from the way my voice went so high pitched but he doesn't pull me up on it. 'I'll call you later?'

He nods, letting go of me so I can turn and walk towards my house. His door slams shut, startling me, leaving me stood in the driveway, thinking...

Who the hell is X?
