Chapter 1:
Welcome to Hexside
Camila nervously smoothed down her blue shirt, her fingers moving to her bow tie while her older twin brother looked around the crowded area. It was time. Camila found herself swallowing nervously as she pushed her thick red glasses back up the bridge of her nose, looking owlishly at her older twin brother, who was grinning and looking at the school. "This is going to be great Cam! You're going to bring honor to the Noceda name!" He said cheerfully, Camila scoffing.
"Mom almost disowned me for choosing to study medicine," Camila began before grunting when he tossed a thick arm onto her shoulder.
"That's because you have the voice of an angel and the strike of a cobra! You should have stuck with singing," he said before letting out a loud laugh. Several teens looked at them curiously and Camila felt her face begin to grow a bright red.
"Shut up Carlos!" She hissed before moving out from under his arm and glaring at him with a pout on her face. "I'm not trying to bring attention to myself!" She growled, the older boy rolling his eyes before he shoved his hands into his pockets.
"You're doing a bad job of that. You're like famous where we come from," he said with a raised brow. Camila rolled her eyes then adjusted her glasses again, dusting off her black skirt.
"No one knows who I am here Carlos and I'd rather keep it that way. I should head off," she began before biting her lip. Carlos' smile began to falter before he sighed and walked over, tugging her into a tight hug.
"I'm going to miss you Miss Luz," he grumbled before kissing her forehead.
"I'm going to miss you too Mister Panthera," she mumbled back as she hugged him tightly.
"Remember to call me!" He said, moving back and giving her a wide smile. She nodded and rubbed the tears from her eyes. He turned and set off while Camila watched him go, sighing as he disappeared within the crowd. She swallowed and turned around, taking a steadying breath before moving forward then yelping when something slammed into her side. She stumbled forward before falling and crashing to the ground, groaning as she blearily looked at her glasses. She heard several muttered curses and sighed internally before reaching over and grabbing her spectacles. She put it onto her face and looked over, watching as a tall but thin teen sat on the ground with square red framed glasses. She was dressed in the school pants and a bright yellow shirt, her tie a rainbow of colors. She had short wild orange hair and golden eyes, which were now looking at her.
Camila stiffened up, her face reddening as she floundered to speak. She could sing in front of crowds of literal strangers but confronted one on one and she always fell flat. The other girl looked her over before blinking and wincing. "Aw shit! I'm sorry!" The girl said before giving her a smile.
"I-Its alright!" Camila said loudly, internally cringing at her volume. The other girl didn't seem to mind, pushing herself to her feet and grinning.
"I'm Eda!" She said happily, extending her hand for Camila to take. Camila froze before giving her a weak smile and taking the offered limb.
"Camila." Eda easily towed her to her feet and Camila blushed a bit redder while the taller teen rubbed at her head. Camila shyly tucked a stray hair behind her ear while Eda shoved her hands into her pockets while slouching into herself.
"So I see you're a dual focus kid!" Eda said cheerfully, Camila blinking before grinning and nodding.
"I'm working on getting a medical degree. I study music for fun," she said while Eda grinned and pointed to herself.
"I'm working on everything but I really like science," she said before crouching and scooping up Camila's bag. "Here. Sorry for crashing into you," she said, Camila taking the bag with a nod.
"Thank you and it's no problem." The bell suddenly rang and they jumped, Eda giggling before turning and heading off while raising a hand.
"Bye! See you around!" She called, Camila blushing and waving.
"Bye."
Lunch time came sooner than the fourteen year old thought, the young woman heading into the cafeteria and claiming a corner for herself. She could feel herself relax as she pulled out her lunch bag and opened it. She tugged out her lunch and looked up when she heard loud laughing. She found a sour looking Eda eating at a table that was populated by who Camila had learned were the rich kids. The person who happened to be laughing was a mean spirited girl who was in the Entertainment focus, a girl by the name of Odalia Gladderton. From the whispers she had heard around class, Odalia was one of the head jerks in school and often enjoyed teasing others around campus. Camila looked back to her food and jumped when a lunch tray loudly hit the space in front of her. She looked up shyly and relaxed marginally when she found her current class buddy in front of her.
Finn Mertens was a cheerful teen with long blond hair that was mostly shoved under a white bear shaped hat. He was dressed in the male school uniform but his shirt was blue like hers, his tie magenta, yellow, blue and green. He only had one functional arm, the other one missing around his upper right bicep. Finn was nice and spoke highly of his older brother, who was already out of school. Finn happily began to chatter and eat while Camila felt herself begin to relax, looking over as another person from her medical class took the seat to her right. The newcomer was Kim Possible, a girl that most claimed could do anything. She had long pumpkin colored hair and bright green eyes, which were focused on Camila. She was wearing a blue shirt as well but her bow tie was colored blue, yellow, magenta, and purple. She was beginning to eat and Camila blinked when she realized the other teen had asked her a question. "Sorry I was distracted. What did you ask?" Camila asked with a sheepish grin.
"No worries. I was just asking how you're holding up. Finn and me have been floating around the same courses since we were kids. You transferred in from outside of Bonesburg," Kim said as she began eating. Camila swallowed the food in her mouth before shrugging helplessly since she hadn't actually gone to school to begin with. When she started her music career, she had tutors and her mother to help her.
"I was home schooled," Camila said simply, getting a nod from Finn and Kim.
"Makes sense," Finn grumbled around the food in his mouth.
"FINNNNNNNN!" A voice whined loudly, Camila jumping and looking up from her food. A set of quadruplets began heading over and Camila was surprised with how similar they looked. The oldest looking had golden eyes and brown hair, which was held up by a cyan colored headband. He was dressed in the school uniform but he wore a blue shirt and his tie was colored blue, magenta and brown. Camila recognized him as PKaio from her, Kim, and Finn's classes. At his side and near the middle of the four was a whiny looking identical version of him. He had brown eyes and his brown hair was held up by a red headband, his shirt a deep brown. His tie was a magenta and brown mix, the young man pouting. The teen at his side was also wearing a headband to hold his wild brown hair up but it was magenta in color and he had dark brown eyes as well. He was wearing a magenta colored shirt and his tie was brown, magenta and pink. The final teen wore no headband and had dark purple eyes while his hair was a wild brown mess on his head. He was wearing a messy orange shirt and his tie was magenta, orange, and brown.
"Hey Kincaid kids!" Finn said cheerfully, the teens sitting before the brown shirted boy threw himself into Finn.
"FINNNNNNNNNNN!" He wailed, Finn huffing and laughing softly while the whiny boy's brothers rolled their eyes.
"Shut up Kaio!" The orange shirted teen snapped. Kaio whined again louder and the three boys grumbled while Camila hesitantly looked over to Eda's table, finding that she was staring at her. Camila blushed and gave her a weak smile, the other girl blinking before beaming, her face reddening.
"Who ya looking at?" Kim asked, Camila jumping and blushing.
"Um.....no one."
