"I'm Benjiman or Benji. I'm 16 and I'm a sophomore." He winked at me probably to ease the atmosphere but I just stared at him not saying anything.

"I'm Alexander but you can call me Alex. Preferably Alex. I'm Benjis twin if you haven't noticed so im 16 and a sophomore too." The next one said.

When I looked back and forth between them I realised they were identical twins. Cool. As I looked at the twins I noticed their differences that made it easier to tell them apart. One of them being that Benjis hair is more strawberry blonde than Alex who's hair is fully blonde.

They all then looked at me expectantantly and I realised that I was meant to introduce myself too. So I did.

"I'm Avery Moneece. I'm 16 too and I'm in year 11. I'm from England. " I said. I had a thick British accent that suited my voice well so I was happy that I didn't sound weird but since I had an accent I hope they were able to understand what I said.

But then I realised they were saying things like being a junior, senior and sophomore and I remember that in America they called their years of school differently.

"Year 11?" Damon asked.

"She's a sophomore." Jesse said giving me a reassuring look to which I returned with a blank stare.

"Well Mom and Dad are at the company doing work so they'll be back in time for dinner. In the meantime you can have a shower and change into your pyjamas since it's getting late. To pass the time when you're done I'll have the twins show you around. " William said standing up.

All the boys stood up too going up the stairs and I quietly followed behind them. I watch as they all enter different rooms supposedly their bedrooms before entering mine.

I sat on the bed and thought back to the events that happened downstairs. They all seemed OK but Damon and Elijah were a bit iffy. They also had cold expressions on too so it was hard to read them.

I went into the walk in wardrobe to get PJs but remembered that I didn't have any.

Aah fudge what am I gonna do. I could ask them for something. Wait no. That would be scary. I'll just make do with the jeans and jumper that I have.

I went into the bathroom and stripped off my clothes before stepping into my shower. I turned it on and and let it run for a bit before going into the warm water. It was soothing and it relaxed my muscles that were tense.

After I was done I dried myself and put on my so called PJs. My hair was wet since I decided to wash it so I got a hair brush from the bathroom sink table and brushed it out before putting it into a messy bun. My hair had grown long so my bun was really thick even though it was wet. I looked at the facial products and decided to use them. It can't hurt right. So I did and my skin felt smooth while rubbing in the cream. And it's ok I didn't forget to use the ointments for the bruises. Hopefully they go away quick.

I thought back to the fact that here in Carolina it was way warmer than in England and that I'd have to eventually wear something that showed some skin like shorts or tanks tops or something but I vow to endure the heat of wearing jumpers and jeans until the bruises are gone. I really can't risk anyone knowing about the bruises or how I even got the bruises in the first place.

I went back downstairs but not before pausing at the edge of the staircase and hearing their voices chatting.

"She's so weird she doesn't talk at all." Benji said.

"I know right." Alex said.

"Maybe she's mute." Benji said laughing at his joke.

"Haven't you guys also noticed that her face is like so blank. I doubt she shows any emotion with that poker face going on." Damon laughs before biting into an apple.

"Guys stop. You've only known her for like what 10 minutes and you're already forming opinions based on the way she acted. She's been through a lot so let her have a chance to adjust and trust us and maybe she'll change." Jesse said.

I was happy that he was sticking up for me but also worried too. Since he's a cop he'll probably know something about me and the way he spoke suggests that he did.

"She's just doing that for attention. " Eli said.

I take a deep breath and my lips tremble as I listen to their comments about me. I thought that I'd be able to get along well with them and that we'd actually be able to behave like real brothers and sisters. Well I guess not. I know my life is destined to be like this but I just don't wanna come to terms with it yet. Looks like my unrealistic fantasy is about to end.

So with one last look at them I ran up the stairs as fast as possible and slam my bedroom door as soon as I got inside.
