16.

I shrugged it off. I never really thought me knowing how to speak 5 languages, and sign language, was cool. I was forced to learn. Jack would talk to all sorts of people. They also spoke one of the 5 languages so I took my free time to learn them. And sign language was with April...Then we could talk in class. I chuckled and shook my head at the memory as I sent the text to my friends.

"What? Did I say same that made you laugh?"

"No. I just thought back to when I learned sign language...It was only so me and my friend could talk I'm class. How were we that smart when we were kids? I think we were genius babies."

"Right? How old were you?"

"I think 6 or 7. It was her idea and me being me, I went with it...That was a good time in life."

I really miss her. But I'm not about to start crying in someone else's arms like I did with Javan last night.

"How'd you get to learn the other 5?"

"Oh...uh...I guess I just learned with all the different languages around me. I don't really remember how I became fluent in them."

Mateo didn't seem to believe my lie. I mean the first part wasn't a lie. But I do remember, bright as day, how and when I became fluent in 4 other languages than English.

"Okay! Let's go wait downstairs for everyone to get here."

"Alright."

Mateo and I sat in the living room with the triplets, Luca, and Levi. I wonder where the other 3 are. Slowly people started to show up. Reed, Ash, Parker, Aria, Jasmine, Kayla, Saylor, Hayden, Harper, Lyla, Rose, and Charlie. Those were the 11 people I knew who showed up. 4 other girls showed up with Avery. Javan's girlfriend. Where is he anyway?

"Let's start partying!"

"Woo!

"Yeah!"

"Let's go!"

"If I see a single drop of alcohol everyone is going home!"

A very familiar voice filled the room with cheering people. Avery immediately went to his side. I rolled my eyes at the two. I don't do friends, but I especially don't to boyfriends or girlfriends. Honestly I don't know if I'm into girls, I've never dated anyone and don't intend to.

"Victoria can we talk real quick."

Javan was now standing by me and my 4 friends. (Okay...so maybe I do friendships) Lily and Harper were holding hands. Rose and Charile were talking to some of the other people. But all four saw Javan walk up to me and looked my way.

"Uh...I want to be with my friends..."

"It'll be a quick talk. Then you come right back, okay?"

I nodded and followed him to his office. Everett was going downstairs and Zane was in Javan's office. I took a seat on a chair, opposite side of Javan at his desk. Zane was already seated at the desk.

"Mavrick told us just to let him, Vincent and Grayson to help you but Maverick is the only one here for the week. We, Zane and I, want to know of we can help in anyway."
