The sun rose over the city of Verona Italy illuminating the city. It's rise poured through the Wells house hold and into the girls bedrooms. Casting shadows of the trees on the wooden floor.
As the sun hit Lilly's room she rolled over to her side and stepped out of bed and the warm wooden floor. She walked over to her window and opened the sheer curtains and let the sun light fully illuminate her room. The warm glow of the sun's rays made her look almost angelic as it hit her long blond hair that was in a slightly messy bun. Lilly took a deep breath as she inhaled the beautiful day. She walked back to her bed and slipped on her black fuzzy slippers and walked into the bathroom. After doing her morning routine she walked to her closet and pulled out a black corset like top and blue jeans. She put them on and took out her hair from the towel and blow dried it. She then grabbed a black hat and put her hair in it. Lilly did wear make up but not much only a very light pink lips gloss that was hardly noticeable and black eyeliner. Once she was done she put on her black ballet flats and grabbed her jean jacket and headed down stairs for breakfast.
As the sun hit Kiki's room she pulled the covers of her head and groaned. She pushed the covers off and went to her closet pulling out a black halter dress and put it on her bed. She headed to the bathroom to do her morning routine and put her blue an purple hair in a ponytail held by a clip. Her bangs all fell to one side. Walking out of the bath room she put on her dress and put on black flats with cherries on them. Kiki grabbed her back pack and walked down stairs to meet her sister.
~~*~~ TIME PASSES~~*~~
The girls get to school in Lilly's matalic blue bug converitable. They both got out of the car and headed to English class with Ms. Beedy.
English was Lilly's favorite class mostly cause they were currently on the topic of Shakespeare's works. She walked in with her sister not far behind. Lilly sat in the second row towards the middle of the class waiting for other to walk in. She pulled out her leather bound complete works of Shakespeare and waited eagerly for class to start.
Kiki on the other hand loved literature but hated the way Ms. Beedy taught she found it rather boring. So she made her way to the back were two of her friends were already sitting. She sat in the middle of them and they began to chatter and giggle.

Felix's room was completely dark till he sun came up and the sunlight tried to come in to wake up Felix through the blinds that he had shut tightly. But some still broke in, waking him instantly as he turned away from sunlight falling on his closed eyes. He got up and stretched. He checked the time then, half asleep, laid down on the floor. He just stayed like that for a couple of seconds, on the surprisingly clean floor for an 18 year old. He then started doing push-ups. The excercise always woke him up.
After a couple of set of 20 each, he moved into the bathroom and got himself ready. Picking up his bag, he tried to arrange his hair back but failed as usual. He sighed, then headed down for something to eat.
-------
Joseph fell off the bed, having been sleeping on the edge for the past hour and being startled by the alarm he hadn't remembered putting. He got himself off the bed and yawned loudly and almost fell over onto his bed again. He regained his balance and started walking towards the bathroom. Only then he realized it had probably been his brother who had put the alarm. He had slept off on the couch yesterday tired and full of pepperoni pizza. His brother must have brought him up. It figured since he was still in his clothes from yesterday.
He was ready soon having been woken up by the cold shower and made his way down to the kitchen to see if there was still some pizza left.
================
They had raced to school today. Joseph had challenged his brother and they had run all the way to the school instead of taking the bus. Joseph wasn't mad enough to want to turn up in school sweating and smelling like a pig. The only reason was because it was a cool day and he wanted some excercise.
He suspected again as he reached the door only a step ahead of his older brother that his brother had let him win. But he gloated nonetheless and received nothing more than a smile from Felix. Neither were even short of breath, an advantage of being who they were.
As they entered their first class, English, Joseph smiled seeing the Wells sisters already seated. Felix's eyes rested on Lily sitting closer to the front and but moved away soon enough so she wont notice. Joseph knew Lilly was the only girl his brother paid any attention the rest, even some who wanted his gaze on them, duly ignored as if they were invisible. As they passed Lily, Joseph pushed his shoulder into his brother and he stumbled into the seat behind him and glared back immediately. Joseph just winked at him and kept moving back now with a grin on his face. Felix blinked a few times and sat down quietly behind Lilly.
Joseph looked at Kiki, the younger of the wells and moved to sit in the corner, next to one of her friends.

Kiki was busy talking to her friends to notice the Crane brothers walk in. Tammy who was the girl sitting on her right noticed Joseph sitting next to Abby. "OH my god dont look now but that cutie Joseph is sitting next to Abby." She whispered to Kiki. Kiki face turned red as her friend mentioned him she took a deep breath "hows my hair? How do i look? Is he looking?" She asked her friend her face turning redder and redder the more she thought about it.
Kiki turned around and smiled at him "um....Hi Joey" she said her face still bright red. She tucked a straind of purple hair behind her ear. And was just about speak again when Ms. Beedy spoke.
"Ok Good morning students turned to to Sonnet seven in your complete works." She said as she watched the students groan and slowly take out the books. Most their books were torn and mis treated. Except Lilly's hers one in perfect shape and leather bound.
She smiled One of my favorites! she thought to her self as she eagerly turned to sonnet seven. She looked at up at the teacher with a wide smile."Ms. Wells...I mean Lilly why dont read this one for us. After all you have such a why The Bard's words." Said Ms. Beedy with a smile and a slight giggle.
"With Pleasure Ms. Beedy." Replied Lilly she cleared her throat slightly an began to speak.
"When I do count the clock that tells the time, And see the brave day sunk in hideous night; When I behold the violet past prime, And sable curls, all silvered o'er with white;" A hush fell over the classroom as she began. "When lofty trees I see barren of leaves, Which erst from heat did canopy the herd, And summer's green all girded up in sheaves, Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard, Then of thy beauty do I question make, That thou among the wastes of time must go, Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake And die as fast as they see others grow; And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence."
She said with such passion and emotion it almost sounded like Shakespeare him self only with a womens voice. When she finished there was not a sound in the room if you werent facing the class you would assumed they all fell asleep but they were all awake but staring in awe.
"That was wonderful Lilly." Said Ms. Beedy as she began clapping her clap was followed by many other claps in the classroom.

Joseph was looking out the window wondering if he had forgotten to do any of the work for today. He looked to his side and smiled, "Hey Kiki, how you doing... you look good..." She was a sweet girl and quite good looking too, which was why he never objected to her calling him 'Joey'. Nobody else did as he had expressed his displeasure at the word long ago.
But thats all he could say before Ms. Beedy started speaking and he had to shut up. He listened quietly to Lilly recite the sonnet and once she was done he looked at his brother and smiled.
Felix listened to Lilly in front of him carefully. She had completely drowned herself in the sonnet and was completely oblivious to the world around her if only for that short duration. He clapped along with Ms. Beedy and as she turned around, leaned forward and whispered, "I agree..." She was wonderful.

Kiki blushed as he complimented her. Her attention turned to her sister as she began to read. She had always loved Lilly's voice ever since their mother died and Lilly would always read to Kiki before she went to bed. She clapped with the other students and yelled "Nice job sis!"
Lilly blushed as people clapped and her sister yelled out to her. But what made her face turn even more red was hearing Felix's voice complimenting her. She bit her lip and turned around to face him "thanks....I just get so into reading Shakespeare sometimes I dont even no whats going on around me." She said blushing a small strand of her hair fell out of her hat. "you really think i was tha--" She was cut off by the teacher's voice.
"Ok now will some one tell me what Shakespeare was trying to say in this sonnet. How about....." she looked around the room at the unenthusiastic students as the looked at their desk. "Joseph?" She figured he wouldnt know the answer and knew who did but she didnt want to call on him she wanted to give some one else a chance for once.

Joseph just smiled. He knew she didn't really expect him to answer so anything would be better than that. He tried his luck, from what he had heard, "That good things don't last and eventually turn into things not liked, like death takes life. But we still enjoy the good things knowing this, uh... just for the heck of it." That wasn't completely poetic but he didn't know how else to say what he thought.
Felix smiled as she turned to face him, obviously excited and a little flustered to get hear the clap. Her cheeks had turned a bit red and to him, she seemed to glow almost like an angel. He looked up and sat back when Ms. Beedy spoke, standing right next to them.

"well that wasn't exactly how i would have explained it but you did seam to grasp the meaning quite well. Good job Joseph." Said Ms. Beedy she looked at the clock and sighed the class was almost over. She walked over to the bored and began to right the assignment down.
Kiki giggled as he explained the meaning of the sonnet. She looked at him and smiled and whispered "good job"
Ms. Beedy turned to face the class once more "Ok your assignment for this week is a big one I'll give till Friday to do it.(its Monday). What I would like is for you to find a sonnet that you like and prepare it to do in front of the class. But i dont want you to just read it, put some creativity into it. Make it a song or act it out or you can even bring in drawings of what you think its about. It's all up to you." She said with a smile. And the bell rang.
Lilly was rather excited about this assignment she already knew what she was going to do. She put her book in her messenger bag and got up and began to walk outside she didnt bother to wait for her sister because she would walk with her friends. Lilly stopped at the door and looked back at Felix wondering if he would walk with her.
Kiki rolled her eyes at the assignment. She put her book in her bag and stood up. "Um Abby Tammy i think im gonna walk with Joseph." She then turned to him and smiled "if thats ok?" she asked.
[[ok lets fast forward to lunch or something i cant think of anything to really happen in class...maybe we can do the same thing that they did B&C with the history about were-wolves and vamps or something...]]

Joseph grinned at the teacher and looked towards Kiki to see her smiling. He smiled in return and whispered back, "Thanks...". He had just been guessing and it turned out to be correct. This assignment would have been just trouble if nothing less but looking at Kiki he decided something that might just make this assignment worth the trouble. He kept smiling as he thought how Kiki would react on Friday. He almost didn't hear what Kiki had to say till he realized what she was saying. His smile widened into a grin. He spoke, "So I have managed to charm you with my intellectual display I see, well, wait till Friday..." He was purposely building up the suspense to keep her interested and tense at the same time.
He waved at her friends and took his bag and stopped. He looked at Kiki next to her and whispered to her, "Excuse me, but my bro needs a push..." He walked up to Felix who seemed to be taking an unnecessarily long time to pick up his bag. He handed him a book from his bag as an excuse to talk to him and whispered to him, "She is waiting for you bro, don't let her hang. How much of a hint do you need?" With that he walked back to Kiki and took her hand and said, "Shall we?"
Felix knew his brother was saying the truth. Joseph was nicer than mostly people thought or at least to him. He couldn't help if he was a bit reserved but he also knew that Joseph knew he liked her. He looked back at Lilly and saw the look in her eyes. He smiled and walked up to her and spoke, "Yes, I really do think you were amazing back there..."

Kiki blushed and giggled as he commented about his charming her. She wondered what was going to happen Friday. When Joseph excused him self to talk to his brother Kiki turned to her friends who smiling at her.
"You and Joseph are SO clicking! You should ask him to the homecoming dance." Said Abby with a wide smile.
"I dont know..." Replied Kiki "I dont think he's that into dances." She saw him walking back out of the corner of her eyes and turned around so her back was to her friends. Once Joseph grabbed her hand she turned red and couldnt help it she let out a small "eeep!"Thinking she had thought it in her head about she spoke it.
Lilly smiled as Felix walked up to her. She gasped at the compliment and blushed "You really think so?" she said as she shifted her bag strap on to her shoulder. She then looked down at the ground wondering what he was going to say next. One of the many things she liked about him was his way with words. His voice sounded so soothing and calming and his vocabulary was almost like that of Shakespeare's. Lilly couldnt help but look up at him her icy blue eyes sparkling in the sun light. "we better get...to class...." She said looking into his eyes.

He let go of the hand when she cried, a bit surprised but upon seeing her colour he relaxed. She was just a bit jumpy. For a moment he had feared he gripped her hand too strongly in his excitement but was glad to see he was wrong. "So what was all the whispering about?", he asked Kiki straight but not in a threatening way rather with a smile on his face. He started walking out of the class and turned down into the corridor not really paying attention that they were going to wrong way for their next class.
Felix nodded at her in reply and couldn't help but stare in her beautiful eyes finally. They seemed to be gleaming in the dull light of the corridor as they started walking. "You really have a gift with words and your voice is... hypnotizing", he said after searching for an appropriate word. "Right, we should get going...", he added and turned down the corridor in the right direction keeping beside Lilly till they reached the correct room. He smiled and waited for her to enter before him, "After you..."

Kiki smiled and looked at him as the walked. "what whispering?" She asked nervously her voice cracked slightly as it tended to do when she was nervous.
Lilly blushed once again as Felix began to speak once again. "thanks..." she said with a smile. So what are you going to do for the assignment?" Asked Lilly a they approached the class room. Lilly smiled as he offered her to go first. "Thank you." she said she walked in then waited for him.

Joseph just smiled and shook his head. He didn't really care much about it anyway. Suddenly he was at a loss of something to say and people who knew him knew this didn't happen very often. He just kept looking at her for a while then looked ahead and stopped. A grin came on his face and he laughed lightly before turning to Kiki and pointed at the sign on the door in front of them. It said, "EXIT".
Felix walked in after her and this time, sat on the desk next to her, rather than behind her. He looked around and noticed Joseph and Kiki had not come yet. He turned to Lilly and smiled, "Its a surprise, if you don't mind so I would rather not tell." Actually he would feel really stupid saying it out to anyone for that matter and had decided he would just do what he had planned and see how it turns out.

"We cant ditch" she whispered to him. Although she want to a bit she had never ditched before. "ok...but what if we get caught?" Kiki asked looking at him.
Lilly smiled "ok i cant wait." She said with a smile as they sat down. She just stared at him completely oblivious to people walking into the class room. She didnt even notice that her sister and Joseph were gone.
"OK class Settle down..." Spoke a rather large and balding man with huge glasses.

He looked at the door then behind him and turned around. He didn't want to get her into trouble. Besides however much he would like to ditch and take her with him, he had already missed too many history classes and the teacher had threatened to fail him if he did it again. "Come on lets make a run for it, I think we are late already...", he said turning to head back to the class and waited for her answer.
He looked at the door and got a bit worried. He knew of the warning and didn't want to see if their history teacher had really meant it. He looked back at Lilly and couldn't help but smile. She seemed to have been staring at him since she sat down. He looked around the class and found some of their classmates nudging their friends and pointing to Lilly. He didn't really know what to say to her. He looked back up as the man spoke.

Kiki had never missed i day in her life she was always at school unless it was an emergency. She thought to her self ditching would be fun she didnt want to get in trouble and remembered what the teacher said about Joseph. "come on lets go" Kiki grabbed Joseph's hand and ran towards the class room.
Lilly realized she was staring at Felix the entire time and looked away. She heard giggles from the other girls in the class. One in particular who just walked by their desks Allyssa Smith the captian of the cheerleading squad and the most popular girl in school. Allyssa had quite the crush on Felix. As she walked by and giggled at Lilly she smiled and waved at Felix. "Hi Felix." She said with a flirtatious wave.
Lilly heard Allyssa and looked down in embarrassment all the girls liked Felix and all the guys liked Allyssa. Lilly sighed and pulled out her history book and opened it hiding her face as she whispered to her self. "I dont have a chance with him."
They arrived at the door with three minutes left before the last bell rang. "well we have three minutes to spare."
