I'd always wonder why we where different, Milly, Rob, Callum, Jess and I. Why we could do things that no one else seemed to be able to do, why we were always different from the other kids at school. Sure everyone's different right? But we really where different, each in our own way but we never knew the reason until we were transferred to Cadvillar academy. Of course Michelle had always said that we shouldn't feel any different from anyone else but she was Michelle, of course she would say that, but I still remember our first days, weeks there.
Chapter 1
"Ok, why do we have to go to this stupid old convent?" moaned my sister Milly, she tossed her blonde hair away from her face.
"Look, we've already been through this, you'll like it, Max and I went there remember?" Michelle, our mother answered, Max was our father, he worked a lot especially since we moved round here, they had gone to Cadvillar when they where thirteen.
"So why do we have to go there? It's falling apart anyway" Milly answered back
"How long left?"Millie's twin brother Callum asked
"Nearly there now" Michelle answered again
"Do they play football?"Callum asked, Michelle sighed,
"Of course Callum"
"You've made us come here because of what's wrong with us, haven't you"
"Of course not, nothing's wrong with you kids, nothing" Michelle replied sternly.
As we sat in the car silently I could see a tall building, it didn't look big enough to be a school, just big enough to be someone's mansion in the middle of the woods, Michelle drove through its gate as it opened for us after swiping something on a machine, and she drove in toward what looked like a fairly-sized wood, stone and glass house.
"Is that Cadvillar?" Milly asked bewildered as the rest of us sat there amazed except for Michelle who smirked the whole time.
"Yes, don't you like it?" asked Michelle
"Yeah but it looks a bit small to house a few thousand students"
"Well just wait until you see the inside"
"Why is it glass and why are there loads of hand scanners?" I asked, the school was protected by an iron gate, nearly as tall as the house itself but it still looked pretty.
"It's so intruders can't get inside and norm . . . and people can't wonder in to see what it's supposed to be" laughed Michelle
"Can't they just have normal security like a normal school? And why would people want to see what it is, it's just a school right?" questioned Callum.
"Right, you'll see" Michelle grinned; she seemed amused by our lack of understanding. "Get out of the car, we'll walk from here". We stopped once we were inside the gates.
"Ok now Mr Higgins is . . . very old now, he has been working here for over sixty years, so he might be a bit . . . frail, you must call him Professor Higgins formally" cautioned Michelle
We went through more security infested doors before stepping into a huge hall way that was twice as big as the house looking school looked from the outside, it had a marbled stair case that twirled round to another floor, I could of swore the school looked like a bungalow from outside compared to the inside; there was a giant grand piano in the left corner and the floor was so clean and shiny I could see our reflections in it.
"Wow" I heard someone whisper impressed
"Hello darlings" sang a high pitched voice coming towards us.
"Oh, Miss Moyle, you haven't changed one bit" gleamed Michelle. Miss Moyle looked at least forty, she had white pearly teeth every time she grinned and permed short copper hair, she looked like a fairy God mother, the kind you got out of a fairy tale.
Miss Moyle froze. "Michelle, is that you, oh my" a huge smile swept across her face.
We followed them through another door which said 'headmaster Higgins office' and through a hall way full of ancient looking people in ball gowns and leotards, who I assumed could only be some kind of royalty.
"They really did know how to dress" mumbled Jess.
Callum smirked.
"Well this is a long walk away from the door that said heads office," mentioned Milly, almost moaning. "My feet are starting to hurt"
"Please, it's not that long Milly" Rob sighed.
We finally reached an entrance with a notice reading,
Before you enter,
Have you remembered the following if they apply for your visit?
Checked your shoe laces,
Right coloured hair bands
, uniform worn appropriately,
Seniors chosen clothing worn immaculately
Permission from professors,
Calmed down from a fight,
Remembered your manners'
Have your apology letter ready'
Whoa. Well you had to be prepared just to see Mr. Higgins, however old he maybe.
"Who even reads these useless notices" whispered Rob; he shook his head slightly so his hair moved out of his eyes, this was a little habit that he had, he had a pageboy cut that needed cutting soon.
Milly snickered. There was an old bald frail man sitting behind a large office like desk, no way did he look his eighty years of age, yes he looked old but not that old. He was wearing a long black over coat that looked way too big for him. The room was even bigger than our front room at home.
"Michelle Johnson is that you, oh it's been years", cried Mr Higgins "you must be Egan now".
"You still remember me; you never forgot a face" Michelle smiled.
"Of course not, my memories' still as fit as a fiddle" Mr Higgins chimed proudly,
"Ah, you must be Jessica, the eldest am I right, then Robert, eldest boy, Millicent, lovely hair like your fathers, Callum, Millicent's twin brother I assume and . . . Ruby Egan, yes" he eyed me meaningfully. I winced. Why did he say my name last? He was getting the age order right until he left me out; I'm older than the twins.
"Yes" I answered.
"Lovely children Michelle, glad to have them" he said as he scanned through our old school reports.
"And marvellous grades too" he beamed. "I assume you'll have them start the day after tomorrow"
" oh, I was going to wait until the new term in a few weeks" she looked at him and his expression fell "but you know, I'm sure starting early will help them settle in" she smiled. That was a bit soon, but I didn't mind, I don't really like school that much anyway, wouldn't miss anything.
"Monday" Jess murmured,
"So, how old are you?" asked Mr Higgins, eyeing each of us meaningfully again, especially me
"I'm seventeen, my brother sixteen, the twins fourteen and fifteen sir" Jessica answered for us
"Hm, you all look very grown up for your age" Mr Higgins smiled "I see that your eyes have gone slightly purple Jess, you're getting tired, I know it's a long way back so I won't keep you" he smiled and turned to Michelle "I'll have reverend send you all the information they'll need, of course have you told them why they are here?"
"Well . . . I thought it. . ." Michelle struggled,
"I see, I see"
"Well we best get back" smiled Michelle, obviously the previous question was still on her mind,
"Yes, yes dear and tell Charles I send my best regards"
"Of course Mr Higgins" replied Michelle, in all my fifteen years of knowing Michelle I've never known her to be so obedient and soft to anyone, she obviously felt a great deal of respect for her old head master.
"Good bye children, or should I say young men" he nodded at rob and Callum "bye ladies, bye Ruby"
"Bye Professor Higgins" we chimed, I felt a bit freaked out.
The instant we were in the car we were full of questions for Michelle.
"How does he see my eye change colour?, they were meant to be shielded, they were meant to be brown" hissed Jess, which was unlike her"
"Mr Higgins is just like us, his eyes didn't ever show his emotions, he learnt to control them exceptionally well, just like your father and I do, he has had so many years of practice, but with his years they hardly change anyway now, they nearly always stay hazel and brown.
"Do all the students here have the whole eye shifting colour thing?" asked Milly,
Michelle laughed, "Most".
We were already home, and it was getting late, on the way back Michelle had stopped at 'Mickey's place' for fries and milk shakes, mostly because Callum wouldn't shut up about how hungry he was.
"We need to get your new school stuff tomorrow so go to bed now ok, night" Michelle kissed us each on our foreheads and went to her rooms with a cup of coffee.
"Night you lot" said Rob, his and Callum's was on the other side of the stairs. Michelle and Charlie had bought this house in???? nearly a year ago. It was bigger than our old house, which meant me and Milly didn't have to share a room anymore. I picked up Casper my fluffy ginger cat and took him into my room, when we moved here I painted my room purple because it's sort of my favourite colour (I don't really have favourite anything's)and most of my stuff match, Milly obviously got hers painted pink. "Night Milly" I yawned as Milly turned the other way and went to her own room.
"Hey, hey ok Casper let me fill your water bowl" I put Casper down and went in to the bathroom to fill his bowl. My bathroom was quite small, just a shower, toilet and basin in the corners. Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in" I shouted lightly I put down Casper's water next to my bed." oh hi Jess"
"Hi" said Jess sleepily; she was dressed in her cosy-looking pyjamas. I hardly ever saw her in pyjamas; she always came down to breakfast fully dressed, even on weekends; getting dressed for bed was usually the last thing she done before going to sleep.
"You're in your pyjamas" I mentioned curiously,
"I was already dressed by the time that I realized I needed to see you" she laughed lightly,
"Oh, what did you want to see me about?" I asked as I quickly tidied my room, moving certain objects with my eyes; it wasn't that I was trying to act as if I was only half listening to her, I genuinely tidied my room quickly before I went to bed. Someone else popped their head through my door,
"Mu . . . Dad", Jess and I smiled
"How was it, today with Mr Higgins?"
"Fine, he's quite old now, we're starting on Monday"
"Yes I know Michelle told me, he would be though, and he's been there for donkey's years, when I was still Callum's age or even before, anyway, good night girls"
"Night dad" Jess shut the door with her eyes again
"Just that" she paused returning back to the subject again "when we were at the school today, Mr Higgins looked at you as if he knew you from somewhere, he kept glancing over to you knowingly, it was a bit. . .weird" she winced
"I didn't really notice but yeah it was a bit weird, if you say so"
"That's all, get ready in the morning, we're going shopping at around eight, yeah" she left the room and stuck her head through the door
"Yes" I answered
"Go to sleep" and she shut the door.
Next morning I went down stairs where Rob and Callum where already eating breakfast. Callum who we never see before lunch times during weekends due to his tendency to oversleep.
"Oh morning Ruby" smiled Rob
"Good morning you two" I smiled back
"No I woke up first I use the bathroom" shouted a voice from upstairs. We all jumped.
"Stop being so pathetic Milly, I just need to get something"
"No, tough" and we heard a door slam. That was the good thing, I got to have my own bathroom but Milly and Jess had to share as I got the smallest room, theirs each double my size. Callum rolled his eyes and Rob laughed.
"Is it going to be like this every morning" he asked,
"Well Jessie's normally up and ready before anyone else" The thought brought me back to last night.
"Ruby, we're leaving as soon as those to come down" she said looking at the ceiling "eat something dear" she scurried off with papers in her hand to her office. I wasn't really hungry; the boys were eating sausages, eggs and bacon that Max had clearly fried this morning before heading off to work, it was the only thing he could cook and Michelle didn't like the smell or grease on her suits. I reached down to the cupboard with the cereal in; I poured some milk into a bowl of corn flakes and sat down beside Rob.
"Your still veggie then Rub's" Callum joked,
"Yes" I answered tucking in to my breakfast.
"Jessica Lucy Egan is such a . . . argh" Milly squealed as she towel dried her hair and emerged from the door.
Rob and Callum laughed amused. Jess strolled in behind Milly and grabbed the last sausage; she took a huge bite before speaking,
"Ok let's go" then she headed back out of the kitchen door with a smile on her face.
"Nine . . . Ten" Milly whispered to herself and opened her eyes as she heard Jess go.
"Sorry no more sausages" Callum joked,
"I'm not hungry" snapped Milly as she threw her wet towel on Callum's head and stormed out to the car, her damp curly hair shaking behind her. Rob laughed in amusement. Then Callum whacked him around the head with the towel.
"Come on boys, let's go" I said. I lifted their empty plates and piled them in the sink with my eyes careful not to lose my focus, this was one of the main things we could do that no one else seemed to, we were psychokinetic, by inheritance. Michelle had forbidden us to do this or any form of parapsychology, especially out of our home, but as we got older Michelle couldn't really control it and we were more careful and understood more now. Well so we thought.
"You're getting better and better at that every day; Callum can't even make a piece of paper levitate without dropping it to the ground"
"Thanks, but I'm not as good as you or Jess"
"Yet" Callum mumbled, slouching on the chair.
We sat in the car as we read the check list Mr Higgins had given us. It seemed reasonable enough. We drove down town to the shops.
"Ok get everything on the first page and meet me at lorezzis' in about three hours" Michelle instructed as she looked at her watch. Lorezzis' was Jessie's favourite Italian place "we'll get everything on the second page together" she handed Rob and Jess black credit cards, and the rest of us bunches of notes.
"Rob and I will go off and get our stuff, we want to get our stuff instead of stand there and spend two hours choosing what colour pencil looks better" he threw a glance at Milly,
"Fine, I guess we'll see you guys at twelve for lunch" Jess looked like she wanted to get a move on.
"Are you going to browns' first, I'll go with you then" asked Milly
"Ok let's go" Milly started walking but Jess stopped and looked at me.
"Do you want to come with us" Jess asked, sure they were fine now but in about half an hour they'll start arguing, and we'd never get our stuff.
"Nah, its ok I'll go look round by myself" I started walking in the opposite direction,
"Suit yourself" I heard Milly murmur. I looked at my list and it was pretty much ordinary so I decided to go into 'Stacey's stationers'. After a while of walking around browsing the books on the opposite shelf of where I was supposed to be, I went and picked up a few books to buy. For the rest of the hour I wondered around the shops buying everything on my list.
"Ruby" a familiar voice caught my attention
"Oh it's you," I breathed,
"So have you brought everything" Callum asked,
"Most things, you and Rob",
"Yeah most, I wonder how Jess and Milly are getting on" he chuckled "I see they abandoned you"
"Callum, we still got to get some books, come on" Called Rob from behind.
"See you in a bit" I smiled,
"See you" smiled my youngest dimple-cheeked brother, Callum was the liveliest brother, he liked to have fun and tease the rest of us at any chance he could. He also found it the hardest to leave our old school as he was the only one who really made any decent friends, he had all the girls at school swarming around him, he didn't really mind all the female attention he got; all of Jessie's 'friends' had crushes on Rob but he ignored it and acted as if he didn't really notice, knowing him he probably didn't. Don't get me wrong, I had friends, but out of school, I don't really have best friends but I guess Ashley and Adam are kind of my definition, I talk to Ashley on the phone often, she and Adam moved away around two years ago, Adam left a few months after her to another town but they've ended up in the same school somewhere; we all went gymnastics together since we were four, obviously I don't go anymore, Milly does though, she's flexible (in other words like elastic) , compared to me. Callum plays football, he used to play all the time, Rob can play too, well he used to, the boys and dad, but I don't know what happened, boys and laziness I guess.
"Ruby" I heard a voice Called behind me
"What Callum . . ." I drifted off,
"Ruby it is you, oh it is" said the voice I was glad to get rid off after leaving school.
"Oh Marvin, what are you doing here" I asked surprised, Marvin was a boy in my trig class; he tried to talk to me at every chance he could get.
"I was about to ask you the same thing, well my aunt lives around here so me and Sara came here down here to get out of the house for a bit, you?"
"Oh, we moved down here after we left school" I replied
"Is any one with you or are you by yourself?" Marvin smiled, his too big glasses sitting crookedly on his nose.
"Yes Callum" I replied quickly, too quickly.
"Oh" his face fell; he and Callum hadn't exactly seen eye to eye before, mostly due to Callum's lively personality, Marvin was quite scared of him. "Well I guess I'll be seeing you a lot his week anyway, maybe we could meet up or something," I winced, "with Sara of course" he added quickly.
"Sure, I'll get Callum to come too, I better get back to the . . . to him, bye".
"see you" he replied; I knew it was mean of me to invite Callum with us when they didn't get along but I really didn't have time to go out with friends, ok him in particular so hopefully by inviting Callum, we won't have to meet at all, if he knew I was with the others it would just make things worse, he would insist for him and his sister to see the others and then there'd be no way out. I looked at my watch and it was almost twelve, I started making my way back.
Michelle was already at a table with Rob and Callum.
"Ruby dear, do you want to look through the menu, I'm sure the others will be here soon" she sighed as she glanced at her watch. I flicked through the menu before deciding to settle on a margarita pizza as the other vegetarian option of goats cheese didn't appeal to me.
"Oh finally here they come" Callum said as he eyed them
"Mills do you not understand the meaning of being here on time" asked Callum
"Stop picking on me, it was Jess as well"
"Well I'm ordering"
"Go ahead; I already know what I'm having" Jess said as she sat down
A young boy who looked about seventeen came to serve us at our table
"Hello, I'm your waiter for today what can I get you" he said in a bored voice but instantly lit up when he saw Milly
"Coke" everyone but Michelle and I mumbled.
"Can I have the penne with mushrooms please," Michelle ordered, "bottled spring water please"
"Ham and pineapple pizza please"
"pepperoni pizza"
"Margarita please"
"And you young lady" the waiter threw a smile at Milly
"Um, just a house salad please" replied Milly as she played with her hair. "No tomatoes"
"coming right up" he informed,
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't catch your name" Milly threw him an angelic smile
"Oh please" I heard Jess mumble under her voice
"Paul" he answered before dashing back to where ever he came from
"Stop being an idiot mills" whispered Callum
"Yeah, he's like my age or older" Jess added
"So, gosh no harm in talking" replied Milly smugly
"Is that what you call it?" Callum muttered through his teeth.
"Cal, Calm down" ordered Milly, while everyone was so absorbed in Milly I turned to look at Michelle who didn't seem to notice, she was on her blackberry, probably work. She caught me looking at her and immediately put it back in her bag,
"Oh sorry dear, I shouldn't be using that at the table" her voice full of guilt. The others heard her speak, remembering that she was here and were immediately silent. Paul came back with the food deliberately giving Millie's last.
"Salad with no tomato" he winked at Milly
"Thank you" she fluttered her eyes back at him "ouch" she turned red and threw a dirty look in Callum's direction.
"Is everything all right honey" he asked. Callum's nose flared at the last word.
"Yes, everything's fine Paul" she immediately went back to flirt mode then he left.
"Why are you being such an idiot Cal, will you stop kicking me you're being so childish" Milly barked at her brother.
"Grow up Milly and I'll stop kicking you when you quit with it" whispered Callum furiously
"Quit with what Cal" Milly whispered back demandingly,
"you know exactly what" snapped Callum, Jess smirked and Rob just ate his food and sighed, I was barely listening to a word, Callum didn't usually act like this, we all just ignored Millie's behaviour but Callum seemed to get really wound up today, really overprotective.
"What's going on with all this murmuring? Look foods' getting cold, eat up" Michelle stated
"You ok Callum" I asked my little brother sympathetically
"Oh, is he ok, stop feeling so sorry for him Rubs' you don't have act so. . ." Milly murmured childishly, mimicking my voice.
"Leave it Milly" Rob cut in warningly. The twins had come up with a nick name for me as I was the only one whose full name never got changed so now I have the wonderful nickname of Rubs', which is kinda pronounced Roobs' but luckily only the twins sometimes call me that. We ate our food in an awkward silence, Milly eating hers furiously attacking her plate, casting angry glances upwards, Michelle cut the silence.
"So did you all get everything?" she asked, everyone grumbled and nodded.
"Oh, ok well I left the second list because it's mostly uniform" she smiled "does anyone want dessert?"
This time everyone shook their head. "Full up I guess then" she signalled her hand for the bill "you lot go to the car while I take care of the bill" she handed Jess the keys. Jess's face instantly lit up "sorry but you're just opening the door, then I'm driving" Jessie's face fell again. Michelle hardly ever let Jess or Rob drive, he could only drive in one of Michelle's other cars when she wasn't in it with him, he didn't really seem to care but Jess did and only really got to drive with dad as mum didn't really want anyone not even dad to drive her Aston martin after he broke one of the lights once.
"Fine" Jess grabbed the keys as Paul emerged from behind her
"I didn't catch your name honey" he said to Milly
"Oh, Milly" she grinned back, in a sweet little girl voice
"So can I have your number, I'll Call you if there are deals on the pizza" he flirted, leaning against the till counter. I heard Callum mumble something.
"Sure, I love pizza, here's my number, call me tonight" she got out a piece of paper and a pen and started to scribble something down.
I was sure I heard Rob murmur "please Milly", Milly lifted her hand to give Paul her number, but Callum immediately snatched it off Milly,
"She's unavailable tonight or any other night as long as I'm aware" Callum snapped as he ripped the paper up furiously, Jess was standing behind Rob in hysterics; she was clearly enjoying the show.
"I'm sorry about him, he's just my brother, apologize Cal" Milly ordered through gritted teeth, hissing at Callum.
"Over my dead body" Callum hissed and seized Millie's arm as he practically dragged her out.
"get off me now Cal, NOW" she shrieked, Paul, trying to be the hero ran out the restaurant and forcefully tried to tear Callum's arm away, but Callum resisted, pretty much without trying.
"Ok, stop this is getting too far now" Rob intervened, Jess was laughing so hard her pale face was flushed, she had to gasp for breath.
"Stop it Jess" I nudged her lightly; she started to control her laughter.
"Ok, back off waiter boy" Jess started to get serious again. None of them where listening but Rob managed to get Paul off Callum and Callum off Milly.
"Come on Callum" Rob grabbed Callum's arm but Callum shook it off.
"Leave Mills alone, kid" Paul teased, then suddenly Callum launched his fist at Paul's face; I heard Milly and Jess gasp. Rob firmly took hold of Callum and led him to the car, Jess grabbed Milly too following behind rob and Callum. I trailed behind as usual, staring at the bloody broken nosed boy behind me. Teaches him a lesson not to mess with Cyans'.
"Get in the car now" rob ordered, he sounded kind of mad, I'd never really heard him like this before; he was usually well reserved and Callum.
Jess pushed Milly in the back and got into the drives seat. Rob was about to do the same to Callum when he turned to look at me
"Actually it might not be a good idea not to put them two together, Ruby you go in the middle" the madness in his voice had faded. I done what I was told silently, Callum was next to me in a second. I heard him grumble "he asked for it".
In a minute, Rob was in the front passenger seat next to Jess. She started the engine as fast as she could, I thought I saw Rob open his mouth to protest but quickly closed it again. Jess drove around the parking lot to the entrance of the restaurant. Rob turned around and glared at the twins,
"You two, what the hell were you playing at" he hissed his eyes turning brown.
Jess pulled over. Michelle knocked on the front window and Jess put the window down
"Out" Michelle said sharply, Jess sighed and went around to the back seat behind me
"I just thought I should drive round so we could get to the uniform place quicker" Jess explained
Michelle opened her mouth but Rob stopped her "I told Jessica to go" Rob said defending his sister.
Michelle closed her mouth and she drove off to the uniform shop. It was silent again when we bought our uniform; we each picked our awfully bland uniform. Jess and Rob didn't need to wear uniform, the schools policy was strictly uniform under sixteen, I had a year left. Milly wasn't to happy with that, we got knee length skirts (which Milly would later roll), one black one grey, black jumpers, blue and black ties and black blazers, Callum got the same as us but black trousers instead. When Michelle had paid she left them in the shop asking for them to be sent to Cadvillar academy. We all had seemed curious but no one had questioned it.
"Why is everyone so miserable, I know something's up kids" she looked at Rob, Milly and Callum's faces "what have you done now, you'll be in bigger trouble if you don't tell me now" Rob threw Milly and Callum each an accusing look. Jess muttered to herself "oh, you don't know the half of it" as she briefly browsed through the rails of pleated skirts, which by the way, she had no interest in whatsoever.
Michelle sighed "why don't you drive Jessica" Michelle offered as she threw the keys and slid into the passenger seat as quick as she could before Michelle changed her mind; Jess seemed to cheer up a bit after that.
"So Ruby you didn't say, were you ok by yourself today?" Michelle asked casually
"She's probably wishing she was still by herself now" Jess muttered so low that only Rob and I could hear. "Yes, I bumped into Marvin, he was with Sara" I figured out they'd all find out eventually so I decided to tell them now when they were all in a huff to talk, which was normally very unlikely.
"Really, is that the one who liked you?" Michelle asked interested. I felt my face going red. Milly smirked, "oops" she whispered. I threw her a look; "no" I got through my throat.
"I'm sure it was, Marvin, the one with glasses right, very bright boy, offered to tutor you with your maths" Michelle questioned.
"No mum" I only ever really used mum when I desperately needed something or desperately tried to hide something. "He was just a boy in my trig class" Michelle wondered if to believe me or not, I hardly spoke compared to the others like Milly or Callum so it was hard to tell when I was lying or not, except for those who knew me well which weren't a lot of people, I was pretty rubbish at lying.
"Oh, the stupid one who thought he was cool because he got like one point more than me for some rock project in science" mumbled Callum.
"No, no I'm sure he was clever" Michelle disagreed. Callum and Jess sighed.
"Forget it" Callum mumbled again.
"Why did you tell Michelle Milly?"I whispered.
"Oh sorry, it just kinda slipped out" she said though she didn't look very sorry at all.
By the time we got to the drive it was pouring with rain.
"Should I park the car in the garage" asked Jess
"Leave it, it's already wet now and your dad cleaned the garage" Michelle got out the car and opened the front door. The rest of us followed in, it was already five.
"Keys Jessica" asked Michelle holding her hand out to Jess.
"Catch" Jess threw her the keys
"You may want to start getting ready we're leaving at five in the morning, pack your pyjamas"
We all looked at her in confusion.
"What?" Jess spluttered
"Ah, you don't know" Michelle said in shock
"Know what?" Milly muttered
"Charlie never told you"
"What, what is she talking about?" Milly asked frustrated
"We're just as clueless as you are" Rob told Milly
"Look kids, your sleeping there that's all, I thought you knew"
"Knew, how could we know when no one told us, I mean you didn't think to mention this to us, a little bit before the BLOODY NIGHT WE'RE LEAVING" Jess hissed before breaking out into a menacing rage.
"Calm down Jessica, I thought Max told you, I thought it was obvious, I'm sorry dear, did you really expect me to drop you two hours away and pick you up, your coming home on the weekends to start with"
"CALM DOWN, HOW CAN I CALM DOWN? I could have driven my own car IF I BLOODY WELL HAD ONE" shouted Jess, her pupils' quickly spreading red.
"Don't get into this conversation now, control yourself Jessica" ordered Michelle.
"well, you know it's true, you can't do this, first you moved us here which was bad enough, now you're banishing us off to some stupid school, and to make it better you TELL US WE'RE LIVING THERE THE FREAKING DAY BEFORE WE GO" Jess shouted before yelling this time.
"Don't raise your voice at me young lady, go to your room and I'll call you down when your siblings aren't here" Michelle said firmly.
"You just don't want them to hear the truth" hissed through gritted teeth before stomping off up the stairs and slamming her door shut.
"Why didn't you tell us mum?"Rob asked, his expression ruthless, he didn't look at all surprised. He doesn't tend to, what with all the surprises we've had.
"Robert" Michelle whispered, she looked like she was about to burst into tears.
Then he followed Jessie's path and went up the stairs. Callum, already in a huff with everyone went to turn the TV on in the sitting room, probably not wanting to be in a room with Rob. Milly went sobbing off into the downstairs bathroom, now she was officially mad at everyone. Then Michelle wet into her office weeping. I went upstairs to my room and unpacked my new belongings, I didn't use my eyes this time as I wanted to keep myself occupied, I finished shortly after, I couldn't believe Michelle was making us stay at a place we barely knew, I suspect that she kept it this long as she knew this would happen and telling us now would be too late to change anything. I was too exhausted with all of today's events to be really angry with anyone and I guess the others had it harder than I did, mostly due to the fact that I learned to keep my mouth shut around my siblings a long time ago. My phone bleeped, I opened the text message back from Ashley, hey! what really, didn't you just move house? Oh ok well good luck at your new school, miss you Ashley xx
I browsed through my bookshelf scanning for a book to read, I'd already finished four in the past two weeks so I knew I'd be running out soon. I decided I couldn't be bothered to read what with everything on my mind so I quietly went downstairs into the kitchen to get an apple, I heard Milly sobbing so I knocked on the bathroom door, I heard her sniff before she slowly unlocked the door.
"Hey Mills" I said in a low voice, she didn't say anything but wiped her nose with her sleeve, there was mascara running from her eyes. I slid down to sit next to her against the bathroom wall.
"Sorry" I said wrapping an arm around her.
She sniffed "why are you sorry? I should be sorry, sorry I was mean to you earlier on, Callum's mad at me and Rob probably hates me like Jessie now, they all think I'm a stupid immature kid" she burst out crying again.
"It's ok Milly I don't hate you, I'm sure they don't either" I comforted her.
"Well you should, your too nice and now Michelle's sending us off to boarding school and its all my fault, and now Jessie and mum are arguing" she clung on to my neck.
"Mums not sending us to boarding school because of you, it's not your fault Milly" I said hugging my little sister back
"Don't worry" I whispered as I reached for a brush on the counter and pulled it through her messy strawberry blonde hair. I handed her a tissue.
"I'll go clear myself up and apologize to Robbie then".
After a few minutes she went back to her room. I saw Callum through the glass wall by the stairs furiously pressing the numbers on the remote control, his eyebrows furrowed; muttering under his breath, seems like not everyone calmed down. I thought it was best not to disturb Jess so I went to Rob and Callum's room and knocked on the door patiently. Rob opened seconds later.
"Oh, hi Ruby" he sighed trying to pull a smile, he looked tired.
"You ok?" I asked
"Yes, how are the others?"
I frowned "Milly was in tears but she's calmed down now, Callum's still on fire, mums still locked in her office and I haven't even seen Jess yet" I answered
"Doesn't sound too good, considering we're going tomorrow, I don't think anyone's packed so I done Callum's"
"I guess I'll have to do Millie's"
"You don't have to, she's not a little girl Ruby she can take care of herself, she needs to start growing up" Rob lectured coldly
"She said you thought she was an immature kid, really she's not. You and Callum need to give her a chance"
"She said that? Rob sighed "well she's needs to stop acting like one then, did you see her today Ruby?"
"It wasn't just her Rob, Callum and Jess didn't make it any better"
"I'm not saying that it was just her Ruby, she could have stopped provoking Callum ,she knew perfectly well what she was doing, I know it was as much his fault as it was hers" he said in a serious voice
"Well she's really wound up over it"
"Ruby stop sticking up for her she's a stupid obnoxious little vain brat that only cares about herself" he said in a frustrated voice,
"Rob that's not fair" I whispered shocked at my brother; he never spoke his mind often. I turned and to my surprised horror I saw Milly standing by the door staring at Rob, her face full of the pain that had just been flung at her. She stood there silent and just as shocked I was.
"Oh Milly, I didn't mean that" Rob pleaded, his voice suddenly full of remorse, and I knew he immediately wished he could take that back. He took a step towards her but she swung around and ran into her room. I swear I heard her say 'too late'.
I lied on my bed in my pyjamas; I had just taken a shower and fed Casper and Posie, Casper was now sprawled over my stomach, Posie was Jessie's white cat who by the looks of it had not been fed in a long time. I reached over for my phone and checked my inbox, one new message, from, I should have guessed, Marvin. What the hell did he want I thought, the message read, hi, Sara said she was sure she saw your brother in the car park today beat up a waiter from that Italian place, anyway do u wanna meet up 2morrow on a date? Bye hope u do, luv Marvin xxx. Well it's a good thing I didn't have to lie about not being free tomorrow night, Sara had a thing for Callum and when he rejected her, it didn't go down to well with the Sampson's. Too bad I thought. I text Marvin back saying I couldn't make it, maybe some other time. I quickly texted Ashley, hey, guess what I'm moving schools, well all of us! -R- .I heard scratching on my window and went to open it, I took Rocky out from the cold and put him next to Posie and Casper, Rocky was our family cat, he was a tabby and was grey tiger patterned. I heard shouting downstairs so I opened my door and looked down the banister into the hallway.
"I don't give a damn" I heard someone shout,
"You know why I'm doing this, this isn't . . ." I drowned out the shouting voices
I sat on the stair case thinking about what school would be like; I was trying to avoid the environment around me, the people shouting downstairs, the girl distraughtly sobbing in the bathroom, the livid boy in the lounge, let's just say it wasn't a very nice place to be in at the moment, and I just made it worst. My ears drew me to the sound downstairs,
"IF THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO WHY DON'T YOU GO AND TELL THEM EXACTLY WHY THIS IS HAPPENING HUH, TELL THEM WHY WE HAVE THIS ON OUR NECK, WHY WE'RE CYAN" she violently lifted her hair up revealing the mark on the back of her neck" TELL THEM THEN" Jess yelled. Unexpectedly, Michelle's hand went up around Jesses face.
Both of them looked as shocked as each other. Michelle put her hands on her face and gasped.
"I'm so sorry Jessica, I didn't mean to. . ." she stepped towards Jess
"Get away from me" Jess mumbled solemnly her lips trembling, her face red and eyes watery. I've never seen Jess like this before.
"Jessica" Michelle whispered her voice full of regret. But Jess ran upstairs past me into her room slamming the door shut behind her. She didn't even notice me. Michelle's gaze followed Jess until she caught sight of me frozen in utter shock.
"Oh, Ruby, Ruby you shouldn't have seen that" she whispered. I sat there until my feet stood up and carried me to my room speechless.
I couldn't get my head round what had happened, Michelle had never hit us, ever. That must have been some really big secret that Jess was talking about. I knew we had the sign on our necks, we had a weird matching symbol, it could have been any language or design but it was etched into our skin like a scar, all of us had it, some of mum and dad's family had it, some didn't, all the Cyan's had it. Everyone born with the gift, curse whatever you want to call it had the sign were Cyan's because when we're born, are eyes are cyan and apparently when we die they go back to cyan too. I don't know, I've never seen anyone die. That second someone came in to my room, I looked up, it was Callum, I should of known, he was the only one who hadn't heard of personal space or privacy, he never knocked, he just came in and out as he pleased despite prior warnings. I was still too gobsmacked to speak.
"What just happened?" he asked impatiently,
"Michelle . . . hit Jess" I whispered, still keeping my eyes on the floor
He hesitated for a minute; taking in the shocking information "do you know why?" I shook my head
"Who's been in the bathroom for that long? And why is Rob sitting on the bed with his hands on his head looking depressed" he asked, his eyes looking past the door.
"Rob said something he shouldn't have about Milly, Milly overheard and she was coming up to apologize to Rob" I muttered
"Oh, I see I'll try and get Milly out" he said heading towards the door.
"She won't, Rob tried", he went out anyway; I listened to his attempt to get her out.
"Milly, I need to use the bathroom now" Callum said as he knocked on the door, I stood up and went to lean against the door frame with my arms crossed, the door slowly creaked open and Milly emerged from the door, she looked as pale as a ghost, her skin looked ice cold, her lips once pink had lost all its colour and had turned a slight shade of purple, her eyes gave away her emotions, they where coal black, never once looking up to meet any of our gazes; she silently drifted downstairs. Callum's eyes met mine; we looked at each other in sudden unease.

Turner Timeouts Baffle
Week 11 at Chicago. 3:11 left in the game, down 31-20. The most precious commodity for the San Diego Chargers at this moment is time. To this point a variety of juvenile mistakes have been made. The next "slip up" can only be described as, in-explainable. Incredible. Boggling.
After a Matt Forte carry that ended in a "could be" fumble.The Chargers coaching staff now had an opportunity to challenge the play in hopes of a late turnover. Then maybe, just maybe, the lifeless Chargers could be resuscitated. If Norv Turner were a doctor trying to save the 2011 Chargers, he could easily be confused with a Kevorkian. The faint beating of the Chargers heart monitor has fallen silent. A challenge stops the game and the clock. That is a simple, clear fact, that all NFL coaches need to know. A challenge in fact, stops the game for far more time than just a generic "timeout", for the same price. Think of it as bargain shopping. A challenge offers coaches "bang for their buck." This knowledge does not require NFL coaching experience and knowledge; As any avid Madden gamer would know, by challenging a play, not only is the referee required to stop the clock, but he is required to review the play numerous times. This allows for water breaks, scheming sessions, and player-coach meetings. No football fan needs the previous explanation, but does Norv Turner?
The Chicago Bears were not running to the line in hurry up mode in order to snap the ball. Which in other situations may cause a quick timeout to review. There was no urgency, surprise, or unreasonable amounts of pressure to make this decision. A challenge is a time out, and so much more. Yes, the Chargers special teams were poor. Yes, Phillip Rivers had two atrocious interceptions. And yes, Ryan Mathews might as well be the new spokesman for Butterfingers candy bars. All of these things involve not only Norv Turner's actions and decisions, but also a depend on player actions and decisions. The poor play is one thing, and Turner should be held partially if not fully accountable. Coaching blunders like this are not excusable. There is no explanation and it is why teams like the Charger's lose games in the NFL. Don't sweep this mistake under the carpet. This is an all time coaching blunder, regardless if it truly affected the final outcome. As fans we often joke "I could have made a better call than that!" This is a rare situation where quite literally, a fan may have. This is a more than distressing thought.
I am not a Norv Hater. I am not asking for his head on a platter. I just simply ask that Norv Turner, the head coach of the San Diego Chargers challenges plays and calls timeouts, when the situation presents itself to do so.
Is that to much to ask? What are your thoughts on this blunder and how does that impact your thoughts on Norv Turner?

Located in a difficult to find corner, it is however quite a pleasant and neat place, albeit a bit old, with a friendly receptionist and a very comfortable room.

Quadratec's pac - how's the ride?
I'm about ready to spring for a set of Quadratec's Pro Comp wheels and tires set and was hoping someone might have them and kick in some thoughts.
Here's what I'm looking at:
Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain Radial Tire on 7069 Series Alloy Wheel Qty 5 for 07-12 Jeep® Vehicles with 5x5 Bolt Pattern - Quadratec
Currently I have stock 225/75/R16s on my Jeep.
Since this is my daily driver, I was wondering if the ride would be worse than the stock tires? Rougher/about the same? Much worse mileage?
And I found no estimated mileage rating on these tires, are they 20-30k tire or a 50k+ tire?
I don't know much about tires and I don't want to regret buying them, hoping for some opinions from people who bought them or know someone with them.
Thanks in advance!
I would also like to hear the opinions of anyone who went with this package.
I do not own this package, but I was tempted to buy. The reason I did not: 3 ply on the treads. If you want to run off road it is wise to have a higher ply count on the treads. Mickey It's mud tires (most of them) run 3 ply sidewalls and 6 ply treads. My buddy has a set that is 9 ply and he can run about 9 psi if he chooses to. Your pressure gets that low on a 3 ply and your gonna bend your wheel or have a blowout. Just food for thought. I would also like to hear some feedback from someone who has bought the package though.
Auto correct Mickey T's (as in Thompson's)

Definitions for Job 36 :28
Clarke's Commentary on Job 36 :28
Which the clouds do drop - In proportion to the evaporation will be the clouds or masses of volatilized and suspended vapor; and in proportion to this will be the quantum of rain which in different forms will fall upon the earth. There is a remarkable addition to this verse in the Septuagint. I shall insert the whole verse: Ῥυησονται παλαιωματα, εσκιασε δε νεφη επι αμυθητῳ βροτῳ· ὡραν εθετο κτηνεσιν, οιδασι δε κοιτης ταξιν· επι τουτοις πασιν ουκ εξισταται σου ἡ διανοια, ουδε διαλλασσεται σου ἡ καρδια απο σωματος; "The rains descend, and the clouds cover with their shadows multitudes of men: he hath appointed to animals to know the order of their dwellings. At the contemplation of these things is not thy mind transported, and thy heart ready to part from thy body?"
Barnes' Commentary on Job 36 :28
Upon man abundantly - That is, upon many people. The clouds having received the ascending vapor, retain it, and pour it down copiously for the use of man. The arrangement, to the eye even of one who did not understand the scientific principles by which it is done, is beautiful and wonderful; the beauty and wonder are increased when the laws by which it is accomplished are understood. Elihu does not attempt to explain the mode by which this is done. The fact was probably all that was then understood, and that was sufficient for his purpose. The Septuagint has given a translation of this verse which cannot be well accounted for, and which is certainly very unlike the original. It is, "But when the clouds east a shade over the dumb creation, he impresseth a care on beasts, and they know the order for retiring to rest - κοίτης τάξιν koitēs taxin. At all these things is not their understanding confounded? And is not thy heart starting from thy body?"
Wesley's Commentary on Job 36 :28

Daily Craig: Gents, start your teams
The NBA Draft was last night. Unless your team has one of the top 10 picks, you can kiss that new guy goodbye. If your team is the 76ers you can enjoy another first pick for each of the next 8 seasons. If you remain a 76ers fan, you must enjoy paying the withholding tax and think the IRS is quite a cool group. I enjoyed the Rockets drafts of '83 and '84 when somehow they got Ralph and Akeem. Akeem would later add an H and two championships. 2002 WAS COOL TOO. Once again, the Rockets lucked out in the lottery deal and got YAO. He would later add sore feet.
Teams no longer with us have had the number ONE pick. The first draft was 1947 and the long gone PITTSBURGH IRON MEN took Cliff McNeeley of Texas Western. The very next year the top pick went to the PROVIDENCE STEAM ROLLERS. They rolled out of the league a few years later. Others no longer with us included the Milwaukee Hawks, the Cincinnati Royals, the Minneapolis Lakers, and the Chicago Zephrys. Throw in the Baltimore Bullets and the San Diego Rockets and the San Francisco Warriors and the name changes are complete.
The Rockets of San Diego to BIG E in 1968. That franchise would, of course, move to Houston and among other things had HOUSTON POST columnist Mickey Herskowitz as one of its general managers, no conflict there. I remember being at Hobby Airport with the Rockets front office as they flew off to luck out on Olajuwon. IT was the best coin flip ever. Now here we are a mere 32 years later with the franchise starting all over again. Like the PITTSBURGH IRONMEN once tried to do.

The term rouncey (also spelt rouncy or rounsey) was used during the Middle Ages to refer to an ordinary, all-purpose horse. They were used for riding, but could also be trained for war. It was not unknown for them to be used as pack horses.
Use in warfare
While the destrier is the most well-known warhorse of the Medieval era, it was the least common, and coursers were often preferred for hard battles. They were both expensive, highly trained horses prized by knights and nobles, and the poorer knight, squire or man-at-arms would use a rouncey for fighting. A wealthy knight would provide rounceys for his retinue.[1][2]
Sometimes the expected nature of warfare dictated the choice of horse; when a summons to war was sent out in England, in 1327, it expressly requested rounceys, for swift pursuit, rather than destriers.[3]

"The Punisher" tells the story of FBI undercover agent, Frank Castle, who until now has beat considerable odds. A former Special Forces operative, he is finally moving out of the field and into a desk job -- and a normal life with his wife and son. Then Castle's world is shaken to its core by a nightmare he has longed feared: his family is executed as a repercussion from his final undercover assignment. With unparalleled intensity, ferocious intelligence and fearless actions, Castle seeks to punish the murderers -- and finds the one thing he least expected: redemption. Marvel Comics' "The Punisher" made his first appearance over 25 years ago as a supporting character. The hero proved so popular with readers that he could not be contained in a peripheral role and by the 1990's he was starring in as many as three titles a month. In 2000, "The Punisher" reemerged as one of Marvel Comics' highest selling solo books and remains a top seller for the Company.

Los Angeles, 1999 - Officer Dave Brown (Harrelson) is a Vietnam vet and a Rampart Precinct cop, dedicated to doing "the people's dirty work" and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide corruption scandal seal his fate. Brown internalizes his fear, anguish and paranoia as his world, complete with two ex-wives who are sisters, two daughters, an aging mentor dispensing bad advice, investigators galore, and a series of seemingly random women, starts making less and less sense. In the end, what is left is a human being stripped of all his pretense, machismo, chauvinism, arrogance, sexism, homophobia, racism, aggression, misanthropy; but is it enough to redeem him as a man?

It mixes real news reports with actors portraying friends, family, cops, killers, and other Laramie residents in their own words. It concludes with a Laramie staging of "Angels in America" a year after Shephard's death. Written by <[email protected]>

She was a knockout in New York in a backless and almost frontless black-and-white floorlength gown. She captivated Paris in a satin and lace Cinderella-style dress with a tight-fitting bodice laced up the back.
And she flattered London by choosing a design by one of Britain's most famous designers. It just had to be Stella McCartney's black satin trouser suit for the British premiere in Leicester Square.
Tyler, 23, the daughter of Aerosmith rocker Steve Tyler, was delighted as fans chanted her name outside the cinema. "That's the most people I've ever heard screaming my name in my life - I can't take it all in," she said.
She was accompanied by her British fiance Royston Langdon, singer with rock band Spacehog, whom she plans to marry next year.
Cate Blanchett, who plays Galadriel, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan, who play the hobbits Pippin and Merry, were also at the premiere, as was fellow Briton Andy Serkis, who is being tipped for an Oscar nomination even though he is not seen in the film.
He plays Gollum but he is masked out by computer-generated images and only his movements and voice remain in the film. "It was quite physically exhausting to do. If they made the decision that Gollum would fall then I would fall and I was doing that for two and a half years. I got a bit battered," he says.
Celebrities present included Jay Kay, Eddie Izzard, Rhys Ifans, Sophie Anderton, Rick Mayall, Bob Geldof with daughter Pixie, Rachel Stevens, from S Club 7, and Carol Vorderman. Celebrity Big Brother's Mark Owen and Goldie agreed with everyone else that director Peter Jackson had pulled off another thrilling coup after the success of the first film.
At the premiere party at the Empire club in Leicester Square, decked out like JRR Tolkien's Middle-earth, Jackson said: "I'm so overjoyed. The audience got all the gags - which is a really good indicator - especially since it's darker and more intense than the first film."
The Two Towers picks up where The Fellowship Of The Ring left off with Frodo and Sam carrying on their journey into Mordor to defeat the forces of evil.
Evening Standard film critic Alexander Walker says the film left him "shattered, shaken, stirred, even worshipful."
The Daily Mail's Chris Tookey describes it as "head and shoulders above the other films of 2002". He adds: "It is going to inspire a whole generation of moviegoers and filmmakers with the magic only the cinema can create."
Anthony Quinn of The Independent says it is "darker, richer and precisely one minute longer" than the first film.
In The Guardian, Fiachra Gibbons compares it favourably with Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets. "The Two Towers packs a punch that may prove too strong for a mere boy wizard and his wand to withstand".
The Sun's new film critic, TV presenter Johnny Vaughan, says: "This is a truly great film, and that's coming from someone who never read the book and, like many of you, only saw the first film on video."
However, James Christopher of The Times is a voice of dissent. "Half a dozen fractured storylines gallop along in tandem. What we don't get is close and consistent tension. Like most trilogies The Lord of the Rings sags in the middle."
The film will be released nationwide on 18 December and - like its predecessor - is set to become a huge box office hit.

If Quicken is shutting down you won't be able to access your accounts.You need to repair the software first.
All you can do is trying to start in safe mode by pressing F8 on startup and check if Quicken can start in safe mode.
If the problem started recently, you can try doing a system restore to a date before the problem started. You find System restore from Start button at:
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore
If that does not fix the problem, then you need to reinstall Quicken using the software CD and your licence number. If you choose to reinstall on top of the existing installation you wont loose any setting (repair).
