The year is 2013
Place, Mount Sinai Hospital Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5G 1X5
Day, 16th October
Time, 9:45AM
I'm laying here, waiting for the presence of my children... Gah how on earth am I going to explain this to them. It's bad enough that Arianna already had suspicions as to why I left so early this morning but now this? Them being called. Me, being the one who ASKED for them to be summoned. I- ah this is going to be one long day.

"Arianna and Liam Banks. Could you please report to the Principals office, promptly."
"Eugh, What has he done this time?"I mutter as I leave my desk in Mr. Roberts class to head to the office. I put on a small smile whilst passing his desk, and he just looks at me as if he expect's nothing less. Ha. Charming. As I walk down the hall, who do I see? Oh just a scoundrel flirting with none other than 'Lisa Depane' with hair to the length of her shaped buttocks and the colour of sunshine. Eugh, it's an absolute crime that someone can be that attractive and not have a few admirers. Hey no wait. Not a few, how about all of the boys in the fricking school. Including my brother by the looks of it. As I approach him Lisa gives me a wry smile as if she knows what's about to take place. Quickly, with her voice like a lullaby she says her goodbyes to Liam and walked away. Liam turned around with that boyish grin on his face and exclaimed "Ah Sister!" My eyes turn to slits as I retort "Brother, what have you done this time?" As his grin turned into a look of hurt and astonishment... I knew I shouldn't of even bothered as I was only going to get a sarcastic response. "What? Who me? Well, I would never, I haven't done anything!" I sighed in exasperation it was only first period and he'd already managed to get himself into trouble... And somehow me. Obviously, father wasn't picking up his phone... Which is odd. Hmm, or well. As we headed towards the principals office, Liam took a roll up out of his pocket and popped it in between his lips. I snatched it out of his mouth before he could light the thing up, again that boyish grin of his took place on that charming face of his. This boy. I swear 'you'll be the death of me' I think as I look at him.
Reaching the principals office Arianna, seemed more anxious than usual. Hmm, I wonder what I'd done this time. I didn't recall doing anything... which had an audience or a viewer in that case. As she sat down within the receptionist area I walk over to Linda. Ah, Linda. The receptionist, and a smile that could brighten up anyone's day. I approached her desk smiling as I caught her eye, she raised an eyebrow at me. Not knowing what to expect, "Could you let Principal Cooper know that the Banks are here and waiting" Linda smiled, and retorted with "Well yeah of course I will. If you hadn't notice Liam, it's my job" She finished with a slit of her eyes and carried on typing on her mac. I smiled to myself, as I walked away and sat next to Arianna. Linda, was absolutely gorgeous she wasn't your average receptionist what you'd normally expect your average woman in her early 40's. No Linda was in her early 20's, 19 with eyes the colour of the ocean and hair the colour of hazelnuts. Sigh. She's just so pretty. "Liam? Liam... LIAM!" Oh woah huh he looks up to see Principle Cooper with Arianna attempting to gain Liams attention. I jumped up and smiled apologetically at my sister then at Principle Cooper. As we walked in, I took my all too familiar seat across Cooper placed on the right side while my sister took the seat perched on the left next to me. Arianna ran a hand through her hair as she side glances me waiting for Principle Cooper to take a seat as soon as he does I'm off. "So, Coops what have I done now?" Cooper looked awkward and dare I say it sheepish... This isn't his usual behaviour, by now he would have retorted and tore me apart for calling him 'coops' huh. Weird. Cooper, looks from me to my sister and states "Your father is in hospital and he rang me to inform you personally so that I could take you down myself." "I'm sorry what?" Arianna responded instantly standing up in a hurry. I'm sat here in disbelief, huh what come again. Arianna begins to hyperventilate and I stand up to calm her down, looking at her straight in the eyes "C'mon Ri, take three deep breathes." I state whilst doing the same so she and I can think logically. I turn to face Cooper, and begin to question him "Why, did Father ask YOU specifically to take us down there?" My eyes slit. Again, Coops had that sheepish look on his face and replied "You have no idea, how close your father and I are." With that he began to head for the door, turning his head slightly to inform us that we should follow. "What the hell" I mutter and follow as does Arianna.
