"Alright, Cia! I'm coming!" I answered scouring through my things and putting my uniform on. Put my books in my bag and headed downstairs.

As Zano rushed downstairs he was greeted by the boarders and his family. Mateó Mondragón, Ignácio, and his brother Alejo with his wife Rosita getting Layla, Miguel, Jorge, Raúl, and Gabriela ready for school. While his sister Zita and her husband Chico along with Grandpapi General Posada feed the Babies in highchairs, Joy, the twins Michelangelo and Manny.

My sisters, Acacia and Zita are twins, they run the hotel but it's mostly Zita and her husband Chico, who is a history teacher. Our brother Luís is also a partner in both the arena and hotel but he is mostly the lawyer who deals with the legal work of the businesses. Acacia works at the Museum along with her husband Ignácio. Another thing about my sisters is that their supers.
