Edyn hated secrets. She hated watching people whisper to each other about someone else. She hated when her friends wouldn't tell her why they were laughing. But most of all she hated that her family wouldn't let her in on their's. She knew she was different, she could feel it, but she didn't know what it was. Somehow she understood that her family was all different. But being the youngest except her twin, she was not allowed to know what it was that made them so intriguing. While she spent her time going to school, drawing or being with her brother, all her siblings spent hours practicing...practicing the skills that her father told her she would learn when she was older. He always told her it would protect her someday and that they were very important skills to know. He told her that she must NEVER tell anyone they had a secret...no matter how much they asked. He said that when she was old enough she could know what the secret was and she could start to learn the skills, but for now...she was just going to have to pretend to be normal.<br/>Today she was staring out the window of the school. The teacher was at the board explaining how to play some stupid game. She knew it had to do with the alphabet, but other than that she had no idea what she was saying. Outside the older kids played on the playground. 'What time is it?' she wondered...she was hungry and bored. Finally the teacher glanced over at the clock. "OK, Kindergarten, lets get ready for lunch...go wash your hands!" she said in that annoying voice all the teachers used. 'Lady, we're five...not two!' Edyn thought. She didn't like the teacher, she treated them like preschoolers and it annoyed Edyn. Especially because she was a smart little girl who, along with her brother, could easily skip a grade or two. Edyn got up, washed her hands and headed out with the rest of the class for lunch. When she got to the big, white lunchroom, she searched the place for her brother.
