Claire & Landon's Kids:

One more thing. This is set in the future, but I ain't creative, so the technology and all is still the same.

Chapter One
All These Things That I've Done

The PC have grown apart. Massie lives in Rhode Island, Claire lives in Florida, and Alicia lives in California. Massie has been married to Josh for 14 years now. Alicia and Cam live together, but have said that they will not get married. Claire and Landon were married for 5 years and then divorced. Without knowing it, they have sent: Aubrey, Devon, Sam, Ruth, Winnie, and Lenny to a high elite boarding school in London, England.

"Aubrey, how much longer?" Devon asked.

Aubrey looked away from the window and at her iPhone. "Just ten more minutes. We should be landing soon."

Once they finally landed, their bags were dropped off. School of the Highly Intelligent Gifted, had its own airline where it went around the world to pick up highly intelligent kids. Kids with amazing talents. It wasn't an all around talent school, only just those that exceeded in the arts (acting, singing, dancing, and instruments).

A lady with a gray pencil skirt and her hair up in a tight bun, came up to them.

"Hello, last names, please?"

"Michaels," Aubrey said.

"Thank you." she checked something on the clipboard and told them to walk with her. "I am Ms. Adams. I am the Headmaster and I also teach English. A few of the other students have arrived and I will escort you to the Dining Hall while we wait for the others to show."

They made their way into the castle-looking school and into the Dining Hall. There were four tables that seated 25 students each.

"Please just pick a seat to down for now. You will be separated into what your gift is once everyone arrives." Ms. Adams said.

They all sat down together, waiting for the other kids to arrive. There was food scattered on the tables and the teens were chatting, asking what their gift was.

Winnie pulled her blonde hair back and grinned at her brother, Lenny. "Aren't you excited?"

He looked at her and rolled his eyes. He didn't want to come to this thing. Ever since his parents divorced he wasn't as happy as he was before. He didn't even want to come to this place, but his mom said that his gift was too special to give up.

Once they arrived at HIG, a lady who introduced herself as Ms. Adams took them to the Dining Hall. They sat down as more and more kids filed in. Winnie noticed a bunch of boys crowding around a pretty girl with Carmel brown hair and Amber eyes. She rolled her eyes.

After a while, two kids came in, Winnie looked up. A boy around her age and then a girl, but her eyes didn't linger on the girl for long. They landed on the boy. He had black hair that was swept to the side. He had piercing blues eyes. Wait. No. As he came closer she noticed that one was blue and the other was green. He kept coming closer and closer until he was right in front of her.

"Is this seat taken?" he asked.

Winnie cleared her throat, "Uh... No. I mean, it will be if you sit there." she smiled.

He laughed and sat down. "I'm Sam."

"Please to meet you, I'm Winnie. And this," she pointed to her brother. "Is Lenny."

Lenny looked up at Sam and frowns. He sees the girl next to him and raises an eyebrow. Winnie noticed his sudden interest.

"Who is your sister?"

"Oh, this is Ruth."

"Hi," the gorgeous girl said. She had thick brown hair and the same eyes as her brother. Lenny nodded at her.

"So... What is your gift?" Sam asked.

Winnie pulled her hair behind her shoulders. "I sing."

"Cool. So, like, what kind of genre?"

"Opera. What about you?"

"I play the Sax. And Tuba. And trombone, trumpet, and harmonica." he answered, grinning.

"That's cool. So you're like, a musical prodigy?"

Suddenly, the pencil skirt lady stood up and walked to the podium. "Welcome students. I am Ms. Adams. I will be your headmaster, or principal, for those that live in the states. I will be separating you guys into groups of ten according to what your gift is. I will ask all of you to stand up and walk to the front of the room in one line." everyone did so and she walked down to them. She stood in front of each of them and asked their talent. Once they gave an answer, she would mark something on her clipboard and then give them a table number.

"Name and Talent please?" she asked Winnie.

"Winnie Crane, Opera."

"Alright, please go sit at table 3, Singing."

Winnie walked over and sat down with 6 other students. Lenny was quickly put into the Acting group. Winnie smiled at Sam over at Musical Instruments and wiggled her fingers. He grinned and nodded.

Aubrey stood, waiting for Ms. Adams to call on her.

"Name and Talent?"

"Aubrey Michaels, Dance."

She pointed her out to a table and moved onto Devon.

"Devon Michaels, Dance."

Once Devon was sitting down, she looked around for the guys that were talking to her before.

"Ruth Fisher, dancing."

She was directed to a table. She watched from afar as Winnie and her brother exchanged looks. It was weird for her. She looked over at the actors section and saw Lenny watching her, she smiled to herself.

"Okay, now that you are all put into your groups, I will explain the rules. This is a school; therefore you will have the normal classes that you would have if you were at home. But, your education around here is second to your talents. We are here to help you prefect your gifts on the arts. Only 100 students are accepted here a year, you all have the privilege of being apart of that 100. Here at this school, you will have class with students outside of your groups, but you will be living in the same rooms as the group you are in right now. You will have bunk mates and it is separated into two rooms. Boys and girls. This is HIG, and the staff and I welcome you. Please push yourself and we will help you broaden your talents in the arts." Ms Adams sat down and instantly people in white uniforms came in with silver plates and platters. Hundreds of platters and plates were put in the middle of the tables. Everyone dug in.

Ruth reached for the plate of barbecued chicken. She started to pile some of it onto her plate when a voice interrupted her.

"Do you really think you should be eating that that?"

Her head shot up and she looked at the guy who had said it. He was sitting directly in front of her. He had an olive complexion and dark brown hair. His green eyes were piercing.

"Why should I not be?" she inquired.

"You're in dance, right?"

"Um, yeah. Other wise I wouldn't be at this table."

"No need to get smart. But, if you are in dance, you really should watch your calorie intake. Dancers should be slim and fit."

"Are you saying that I'm not slim?"

"No, you look quite healthy... although you could go with losing a couple of pounds. Maybe ten." he smirked.

She gasped and looked down at her flat stomach. "I do not!"

"Suit yourself."

Ruth nodded shortly and took a huge bite of chicken. He winced and turned away from her.

"That's Devon."

Ruth turned around to a girl that was sitting next to her. She had Carmel brown colored hair and amber eyes. She really was gorgeous. Ruth remembered seeing a bunch of boys surrounding her when she walked in. She didn't really blame them.

"He's my brother; and a bit of a prat. I'm Aubrey by the way. What kind of dance do you do? I'm in ballet."

Ruth smiled. "I'm Ruth. I do contemporary, hip-hop, and jazz." She noticed that when she said that, Devon looked up at her for a split second. Aubrey noticed it too.

"Hey, that's what Devon does, don'tcha Devon?"

He rolled his eyes and continued talking with the guy that was sitting next to him.

"Yeah... He's a definite prat." Ruth laughed.

After everyone was done eating, they were escorted to their rooms. They walked up plenty of staircases and past plenty of rooms until each group found their rooms. Each group has a common room (A/N: I am NAWT stealing any of this from Harry potter, I just can not find another name for it, so please, don't hate on it. I mean... I guess you could if you wanted to :p), and then separate rooms for boys and girls. The bedrooms were large and spacious.

Devon walked into the boy's room and set his stuff down at a bed. He walked down the small staircase to the common room. He rounded the corner at the end of the staircase and ran smack into Ruth.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry-" she looked up and saw that it was Devon. "Oh, its you." She said shortly.

"Yup, it's me, in the flesh. Ruth right?"

"Um… yeah. You told me that I was fat, remember?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, okay I do remember you. The diet of fatty chicken is not working for you, by the way."

"The air of snootiness and arrogance that you have is not working either." She said back to him.

"Cute, work on your comebacks though." Devon said, pushing past her. He walked over to the couches and sat down, next to the kid that he was talking to at dinner.

"Hey Mike."

"Dude, you totally just called off the hottie of the group. You know that right?"

"My sister is better looking than her." Devon said dryly. As if on cue, Aubrey strutted by. Mike's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"I can't wait to see her dance," he muttered to Devon.

Okay! Bluebird is finally here . I already love this story, so I should have frequent updates. I'm going to say right here and now, this school has the concepts of Hogwarts. I don't really want it do, but like I said, I'm not creative. It looks like Hogwarts, and they wear school uniforms (gray skirts/slacks, white button down shirts, and red ties. Blazers are optional). They have common rooms, and then separate dorms for boys and girls.

I really hope all of my fans from Her New life and Rolling in the Deep are impressed :D. If you are new, I hope that you like it as well.

Here is what everyone in this story looks like/cast:

Aubrey: Carmel brown hair, amber eyes- Quinn Paul

Devon: olive complexion, dark hair, green eyes- Chad Duell

Sam: Black hair and blue-green eyes- Jake T. Austin

Ruth: Dark brown hair and blue-green eyes- Hayley Kiyoko

Winnie: blonde hair, blue eyes- Skyler Samuels

Hopefully all that info matches what was said in the story XD

I know that all the ages with the kids do NOT match what they were in Rolling in the Deep, and I apologize. I had to changes the ages so that they'd be closer in age :P if that makes ANY sense.

Review, please! And tell me who your fav characters are!
