"Ok, and it was nice having coffee with you too." Alicia said with a smile as she stood up. "I'll probably get you around 5:30, Holden will probably serve around 6:00." She said walking over to Alexander. She grabbed the piece of paper and quickly put it in her dress pocket. "I'll see you in a few hours." She said placing a quick kiss on his cheek. She quickly walked to the car. Alicia got into the car.

"I'm sure we will figure it out in time Solomon." Holden said as he pulled out of the drive way. "I hope the girls had a good day." He said hoping they did.

[Evil Tink]

"I'm sure Hayden had...oodles of fun.." he said flatly.

Alexander nodded, "Sounds good." He jumped when she kissed his cheek again. While he wasn't caught off guard nearly as bad as the first time, it was still surprising to him. He did smile a bit as she drove away, shoving his hands in his pockets as he started home.

[Bovice]

"Please don't say it like that." Holden said worried. He was getting nervous as he got closer to the school. He pulled into the school parking lot, he took a deep breath, "Here we go." Holden said as he got out of the car.

Jason quickly got out of the car and ran to Holden. He grabbed onto Holden's hand.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon got out of the car, appearing agitated right now, "Oh believe me..if only you knew.." He shoved his hands into his pockets as Marsha came out in a huff with Hayden in tow behind her. "You might want to hunt Amanda down without me.."

Marsha stopped a few feet in front of Solomon, holding Hayden by the wrist, "You told me she was..devilish, but you never said anything about how devilish. We've had a rather..exciting day..haven't we Hayden?"

Hayden looked away, hiding her grin, "I.."

[Bovice]

"Oh god." Holden said grabbing his head with his free hand as he saw Marsha coming out with Hayden. He went into the school not wanting to see Amanda sitting outside Marsha's office. Of course she was, "Amanda Marie! What did you do?" He asked slightly angered.

Amanda jumped when she heard Holden, "I...I didn't do anything." She said not looking at Holden.

"Don't lie to me Amanda." He said putting his hand on his hip.

"They were making fun of me, since you are my brother. And you are taking care of me." She said not looking up. "I punched the boy in the nose." She said with a pout.

"Amanda, you know better then that. We will talk more about this at home." Holden said not wanting to make a scene.

Amanda stood up and quickly ran out to the car, hiding her face.

Holden sighed as he followed her out to the car. "Well on the first day, this is a new record." He said rubbing his temples.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon rubbed his temples, "I'm so sorry Marsha..I..have no idea what got into her.." He looked down at Hayden with a scowl, "Well?"

Hayden twiddled her fingers, "Well..Uuuhhh...this boy..was being mean t-to Amanda..a-and..she punched his nose..a-and..it...blee-"

Solomon looked to Marsha, "Oh my god..what happened in there.."

Marsha sighed, "I have no idea..I came just...as Hayden tackled him.."

Hayden spoke again, "I..I-I'm soooorryy S-Solomon...I.." She looked away, composing herself, "I..I didn't..hu-hurt him a..lot..b-but it wasn't my fault! T-the..blood.."

Solomon pinched the bridge of his nose, "Marsha I'm so so so sorry, I'll pay for anything you need me to. Can I see where it happened?"

Marsha shook her head, "Nothing really bad..just..Grendel..he'll be okay, but his nose was broken quite a bit.."

Solomon nodded, taking Hayden from Marsha with a scowl, "I'll pay for his bills, give his parents my number so they can call me. And don't worry, Hayden will not be getting off so easily."

She nodded, "One more move like that and she's expelled..just beware." She turned and hurried back inside.

[Bovice]

Holden was mumbling when he got to the car. He opened his mouth to say something, but he was too furious. "The first day? Really Amanda?" He said as he got into the car. "And then you get Hayden involved. You are so grounded, for two weeks. You got that?" Holden said as he started the car.

Jason let go of Holden when they got close to the car, he got in.

Amanda got into the car and held back tears. She nodded when Holden talked.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon took Hayden to the car and set her down so she could get in. As he got in the front seat, he spoke to Holden, "Don't be so mad at Amanda, it's mainly Hayden's fault. I have a feeling she..helped Amanda in her decision." He leaned back in the chair, pinching the bridge of his nose with a sigh.

Hayden got in and buckled her seat belt without a word. She glanced to Amanda and mouthed, 'I'm sorry' before looking out the window.

[Bovice]

"That may be true Solomon but it was Amanda who threw the punch, not Hayden." Holden said sill very pissed as he drove out of the school parking lot. "Amanda you will do your homework and then go straight up to your room, understand?" Holden said clenching the steering wheel almost ripping it off.

Amanda nodded to Holden as a few tears fell down her cheeks.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon sighed, "Holden, knock it off. She obviously understands she's in trouble, you don't need to make her cry." Damn his soft heart. He turned around to Amanda and Hayden. He handed Amanda his handkerchief, "Shh, it's alright Amanda." He turned back around, not addressing his little sister, "You know, I thought twins were supposed to be alike..not..complete opposites.."

[Bovice]

"I know Solomon." Holden said with a sigh. "Actually 95% of the time twins are opposite." He said as he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He quickly pulled it out when he stopped at the red light. "Magna.(Great)" Holden said in a quiet tone, as he put his phone back in his pocket.

Amanda grabbed the handkerchief from Solomon and wiped her tears away.

Jason snapped his attention to Holden when he spoke Latin, "Daddy quid male?(Daddy what's wrong?)" He asked worried.

"It's nothing Jason." Holden said as he took off from the red light.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon closed his eyes as they drove, "You're in big trouble Hayden...you promised me you wouldn't cause trouble. Don't make me regret saving you from the House."

Hayden tensed as Solomon finally addressed her, "I-I'm sorry. I..I t-tried to control..b-but..a-at least..I..didn't..b-bite him."

"Just be quiet Hayden...You need to stop acting like a child and start acting like the adult you are. You're going finish the first half of the semester, then I'm pulling you and you will drop your childish antics and appearance. Do you understand?"

Hayden shook her head quickly, "Noo, Soly, you said I could be whoever I want, and I want to be me; like this. I know you're mad now, but you're always happy when you see me, especially like this. You don't like the real me.." She quickly pushed herself away from Amanda and farther into the corner of the seat.

[Bovice]

Holden pulled into the drive way, and shut the car off when he was close to the door. He got out of the car with a sigh. He went inside and saw Alicia sitting on the couch.

Jason got out of the car and rushed inside, he sat down next to Alicia.

Amanda slowly got out of the car, and walked inside. She instantly went to the study to do her homework.

"Well hello there Holden." Alicia said with a smile.

"Hi." Holden said slightly bitter. He went to the kitchen to get started on supper. When he got into the kitchen he instantly grabbed a bottle of wine and opened it. He grabbed a glass and poured it full. "I really wish I could get drunk." Holden said to himself.

"Well someone's grumpy." Alicia said. "What happened Solomon?" She asked as she saw Solomon enter.

[Evil Tink]

Hayden skittered out of the car before Solomon could say anything else. She followed Amanda to work on their homework.

Solomon sighed, running his hand through his hair, "Don't worry about it Alicia...he'll get over it sooner or later." He sat down on a chair, closing his eyes.

[Bovice]

Holden felt his phone vibrate again, "Stop calling me." He said as he threw his empty glass in the sink shattering it. He sighed looking at the glass. He went to the fridge to grab the ingredients for dinner.

"I hope so." Alicia said as she heard the glass shatter. "Do you think Holden will be ok for when my date comes for dinner?" She asked looking at Solomon.

[Evil Tink]

"I'm not sure..oh wait~ A date~" He opened his eyes, leaning forward, "Ah, so that's who you were talking to~ I'm sure Holden will have settled down by then...he can't stay mad at his sister for very long."
