Chapter 1: A New School
Rachel's POV (Point of View)
'Here I am, on the newly discovered planet of Twixty, in the schools office waiting to see the principle on my first day at a new school. You see, I moved to planet Twixty with my mum (Lisa), by little sister (Mea), my older brother (Alvss) and my identical twin sister (Khristene which is pronounced Kristen). By the way, I'm Rachel, Rachelly Rosette Metherlands to be exact. Khristene and I are 16, Alvss is 18 and Mea is 7, big age difference between be and my little sister isn't there. Well, to be honest she's only my half sister, you see, my parents got divorced when my mum was pregnant with me and my little sister. So we never have really known what it's like to have a father around. My mum has actually never married again after my dad; some dude just knocked up my mum with Mea and left the picture entirely. Anyway, the reason we moved to planet Twixty is because it is predicted that the earth will blow up so everyone move here because it is supposed to be a second earth. So right now me, Khristene and Alvss are waiting for the principle to call us in.'
"Rachelly, Khristenely and Alvss, the principle will see you now" said the nice, very traditional looking secretary.
"Yes, only 7 months left of school before the year ends, then I won't have to step foot into another high school again and I get to spend my last of it on another planet. My life rules" Alvss bragged to his sisters.
"You're so lucky Alvss," wined Khristene "you're in year 12, while we're still only in year 11, but you will have to step into another high school when you have children" she argued.
"Not true young Khris, I have two choices. Choice number 1 is I have no kids, and choice number 2 is my wife does everything school related with the kids, I'm aiming for choice number 2 but choice number 1 is still on the table." Said an over confident Alvss.
"Men" said Khristene angrily "and don't call me Khris, only Rachel can call me Khris and only because she won't, not."
"So true" interrupted Rachel "and in case you two bimbos didn't notice the lady said we can go in now. My guess is the principles been waiting for us all this time."
"Hey, I'm not a bimbo." Yelled Khris.
"Smart ass, you're as big as an idiot as we are" argued Alvss.
The twins just looked at him.
"Sorry, stupid statement, maybe I am an idiot" said Alvss.
The secretary looked at them weirdly as they stepped into the principles office.
"Ah, you guys must be Alvss, Khristenely and Rachelly" said Mr. Dickinson while shaking their hands. "Welcome to Middleton high."
'Oh great, he's one of those guys who thinks school is the greatest thing to ever happen to the world.' I Thought.
"Well actually I'm Khristenely and she's Rachelly, but we hate our names so we would like you to call me Khristene and her Rachel or Rach" corrected Khristene.
"Well okay, sorry for confusing the two of you Rachel and Khristene, it's just that you two look a hell of a lot alike, well I guess that's the thing with identical twins. Anyway, here are your timetables, school map and your P.E uniforms, since yo three are seniors you don't have to wear the school uniform; well at least your mum will save some money on a school uniform you wouldn't use for very long." Said the very optimistic principle.
"Great, just great, I'm in all the same classes as Rachel. This is going to be yet another depressing school year. I can see it now, she's going get the best grades, immediately going to get all the attention from the boys, and later when she stops being quiet and ignoring everyone other than Alvss, Taylor and I and starts being her happy, upbeat optimistic self with an extremely bad anger issue she is going to become very popular. It always happens." Said a pretty depressed Khristene.
"Well, you and I have had 16 years of experience so you should be used to it by now Khristene" replied Alvss with a smirk on hid face.
"So you two are in room 37 and have English with Ms. Tamsyn, right." The two girls nodded "Well I have science, so I will see you at lunch and I will meet you both in front of the lunch room. OK, Khristene good luck making friends, treat them how you want to be treated and you will make friends in no time, while Rachel, don't piss off two many people, don't break two many boys hearts or bones, and who are we kidding you don't have to make friends right away, you have Khristene, Taylor and I. Alright cya."
"Bye" the twins said in unison.
"So, here we are," said Khristene.
"Yep" replied Rachel.
"Wow, Rach I'm proud of you, you've been at this new school for half an hour and you've already said ten words. Ah Rach, I don't like that look in your eye, so I'm just going to open the door before you do something before we both regret." Said Khristene very worriedly as she knocked on the door.
'Well, my sister doesn't think before she says something, but she thinks after and if she regrets it she will either take it back or say sorry, gotta give credit for having guts.' I thought to myself as Ms. Tamsyn opened the door. 'She looks as if she is her mid twenties, with shoulder length blond hair. Skinny, while wearing a navy blue shirt suit. She walked back into the class signalling for the twins to follow. As I walked into the class behind Khristene I noticed there were about 25 odd students here.'
Kai's POV
"Dude, did ya hear. We are getting two new students in our class" Ray said with a grin on his face.
"Yeah. I hear it is two girls. Twins actually. Identical twins. I also hear that they are both hot, one a lot hotter than the other. " Answered Tala.
"I will be the judge of that" Kai said with a smirk.
'I really don't care if we have two really hot new girls in our class. I mean how hot can these twins be and how can one of them be a lot hotter than the other if the are identical twins. Just then I was snapped out of my thoughts by a knock on the door. The teacher greeted the girls and asked them to come in. I could see one girl at the door. She had upper back length dark blonde hair left loose, blue eyes. She was average height, quite slim. She wore a blue denim skirt that ended just above the knees, crimson red tank top and a blue denim jacket that matches her skirt with white rabens. She is actually quite pretty'
'As they walked in I saw a girl about the same height as the other girl walking behind her. She slimmer than her sister, has the same length hair but brunette in colour and has two braids going around the side of her head and meeting at a high ponytail. As she turned to face the class you could tell that these two were identical twins, they had the same face, expect that she has bright hazel eyes and a few more of the same features that I couldn't put my nose on it. As I started to check her out I heard a few cat calls I assumed were directed at her, because even though I have only looked at her face I have declared her to be the hotter one. I smirked as went back to checking out the rest of her body because I liked what I saw. Starting from the bottom I noticed she was wearing black volleys that had a thin white stripe going around them, while wearing white short socks which contrasted rather nicely with her black volleys. She had nice, evenly tanned, by the looks of things smooth legs. She wore short blue probably new, worn out style denim shorts. She wore a big, baby pink, baggy hooded sweatshirt with some white symbols on it. Underneath she wore a white shirt, but the only part of it I can see is the part that comes out underneath her sweatshirt, it covers the top of her shorts.'
Rachel's POV
'When we walked in Ms. Tamsyn introduced us to the class. She introduced me as Khristene and Khristene as me. It happens all the time, how hard is it to tell me and Khris apart, I'm sure we look alike but we have different colour hair for Pete's sake. When Khris asked her where our seats are, she pointed to a seat with a bunch of boys around it, some cute, some not, none that I would ever date, and said it was my seat. However, Khristene's seat was around a group of girls, situated right next to the one the only, Taylor Tate. I really have to kill that sister of mine, lucky bitch.'
"OK, girls before you sit down, why don't you the class about yourselves?" Asked Ms. Tamsyn, but instead I just went and sat down in my seat. I really did nothing wrong, it was a question, right?
"I guess I will have to talk about both of us then" Khristene thought aloud "anyway, you know our names, except that I khristene and that's Rachel. Well I am the younger sister by ten minutes. We have one little sister, two older sisters and three older brothers. Big Family, I know. Two of our brothers have moved out, the other is in year 12, one sister has moved out, the other lives with her dad, our little sister lives with us, Taylor there lives with us and has for a long time and Rachel has a pet cat. I like shopping, boys, parties, swimming, netball, watching TV, playing computer and singing. I dislike alcoholics, people who smoke, bitches, boring people, slutty people and annoying people. Rachel likes shopping, fighting, (as in martial arts) boys, swimming, netball, soccer, TV, computer, singing, dancing, being different and animals. She dislikes the same things as I do plus, people who think they're better than everyone else and people who annoy the crap out of her. I'm good at shopping, swimming, netball, I'm an alright fighter, I'm pretty smart and an alright singer. Rachel is good at shopping, swimming, netball, soccer, extremely good fighter, extremely smart, amazing singer, amazing dancer and I could keep on going but it would take forever."
"OK, thank you Khristene, you can go and sit down next to Taylor, and since you already know who she is, you know which one is your seat." Tamsyn said and Khristene nodded in reply.
Kai's POV
'The teacher introduced the two girls as Rachel and Khristene. I was a bit disappointed when she said that the less pretty girl could have a seat in front of me. Not that she isn't pretty; it's just that her sister is extremely hotter. Needless to I was surprised that when the teacher told them to introduce themselves, and Khristene completely ignored the teacher and came and sat in front of me. It was cleared up that she was Rachel when Khristene started talking about them that the teacher just mixed up their names.'
'Soon the teacher started the lesson and started rambling on about some English crap, I stopped paying attention almost straight away, and just stared out the window, oblivious to anything that was happening around me why I was in my own little world. Toward the end of the lesson I decided to have a look at the new girl who was sitting in front of me. And by the looks of things, she's not paying attention to the teacher either, cause she is just staring out the window just as I was a few minutes before. Just then, the teacher called upon her to answer the question. I guess she didn't hear because she didn't even turn her head. She asked her the question again and this time Rachel turned her head, looked at her, and then just started to stare out the window again.'
"Miss. Metherlands, in case you didn't hear me I will repeat the question" Screamed Tamsyn.
Before she could repeat the question she was interrupted by Khristene "Don't bother repeating it, she heard you, she's just ignoring you. She finds she gets in less trouble of teachers if she ignores them, instead of just making fun of their stupidity. You will get use to it eventually; it's just how she is. Just let her ignore lessons, she's smarter then the teachers anyway, she's only here cause the laws forcing her to be here."
'Just then, the bell rang and people started to walk out. Rachel was packing up her things, when I noticed Khristene and Taylor walking over to her. They left together talking. Well, Khristene and Taylor were talking; Rachel was just listening looking bored.'
"Kai, ma man" said Tala. Kai looked at Tala when he continued "what did you think of the twins, they're hot aren't they."
"Whatever" is all he said before walking out the door and going to mixed year 11 and 12 family management class.
'I took my time to get to class, when I got there I saw Ray sitting next Jake talking about something. Then I saw Tala sitting at a desk alone, and when he saw me, he motioned for me to take a seat next to him. The tables were in groups of six and when I got closer to Tala I could see there was an older boy sitting at one of the tables in the group of six. He was older, had blue hair, blue triangles on his face like mine. He wore a navy blue shirt, white jacket with a navy blue stripe, navy blue long pants and white volleys. He was probably one of the year 12 students.'
"Kai, this is Alvss, it is his first day of year 12 at this school." Tala said to me and I just nodded in acknowledgment.
'I just sat waiting for the second bell to ring while half listening to what Tala was trying to tell me, when someone caught my eye. Just then, Taylor, Khristene and Rachel walked in.'
Rachel's POV
'As me, my sister and Taylor walked to family management class; we looked around for a place to sit. We saw Alvss sitting at a desk with three empty seats. There were already two people sitting with him that I recognized form first period English.'
"So, who wants to sit where?" Taylor asked while looking at me. In response, I just went over and plopped down into the seat next to Alvss. The two boys looked at Alvss and I with raised eyebrows, while Taylor and Khristene sat down across from us.
"So, by the odd look on those two faces, I'd say they were in your first class?" Alvss said and raised an eyebrow at Khristene.
"Yep, Rachel got in trouble for ignoring the teacher again and most boys showed a lot of interest in the silent Rachel." She said.
"You girls know him?" Asked Tala.
"Yep, Alvss here is mine and Rach's older brother."
"So, are you two boys some of the boys eying my little sister here? Cause if you are, I should warn you, if you make a move on Rachel, or even say you like her as more than a friend, I swear I will kick your ass so hard you will have your own room in the ICU."
"Alvss is a little bit overprotective when it comes too little Rachel here." Khristene said in a matter-0f-factly kind of way.
"So I noticed" said Tala.
Normal POV
"OK class, welcome to senior family management class. When seniors have family management, they do more practical work, then theory work. So you will be getting a lot of paired and grouped assignments." Said Mrs. Finch, and the whole class groaned at the mention of assignments. "You will each be paired up with someone else, and you will be working with them for every paired assignment, no exceptions. And before anybody asks, I have already picked your pairs. There is to be no swapping, under any circumstances." There was another loud group groan.
"Do we have to," a kid in the back whined.
"Yes, it'll be fun. Okay the partners are: Tes Soot and Brett Tree, Clair Song and John Smith, Casey Baine and Alvss Metherlands, Khristene Metherlands and Tala Valkov, Rachel Metherlands and Kai Hiwatari, Taylor Tate and James O'Bryan, Betty White and Ray Kon, Sally Sing and Tristan Braddy," Mrs. Finch said taking a breath and began reading out the rest of the list.
"So, now that you have your pairs, I am going to give you an assignment. Each pair is to pair up with another pair and go and interview as least five single mums or dads and ask them questions like what it is like to take care of there kids without another parent around. And I know some of you have single parents, so to make fair to everyone else, you can't interview your parents, or anybody else's for that matter."
Rachel whispered a question into Alvss's ear to ask a question to the teacher, and in reply, he put up his hand.
"Yes Alvss" the teacher asked.
"Well about that single parent thing, our mum was married before she was married to our dad and had three kids with him, they got divorced shortly after the second kid was born and has practically raised her and her younger sister, which is our sister as well. You see, we aren't related to him in any way, but three of our siblings are related to him, and our mum was related to him, so can we interview him?"
"No" her voice was sharp and stern with no room for argument "and why we're on the subject, don't interview someone you know, interview five people you don't you don't know. So get into groups now."
Khris looked at Tala as he said "ok, how about me and Khrissy here go you and Rachel?" Tala asked.
"Firstly, why do you get to pick the groups, and secondly, don't call me Khrissy cause the names KHRISTENE!
"Look at it this way, if we go with Kai and Rachel I get to go with my best friend and you get to go with your sister. And, why can't I call you Khrissy, its short for Khristene."
"Fine, we go with Kai and Rachel, but I hate the name Khrissy and I swear if you call me it again then you will suffer a fate worse then DEATH!" Shot back Khristene.
"She starting to sound like Rachel" Alvss mumbled under his breath.
Rachel and Kai just stared wide-eyed at the two bickering teens and sighed as if scenes like that between the two happened everyday.
Rachel's POV
'I just sat back, relaxed waiting for the lesson to finish for lunch. The other three decided that we should hit the mall after school and ask random people if they were single parents or not. Or really Tala said that, and Khris just agreed to it when he agreed to give us a ride and take us shopping since we will already be there.'
'Great, I'm going to have to be stuck with this grouch as my partner for rest as the year' I thought looking at Kai.
'Soon the bell rang for lunch period. Instead of walking to the lunch room like most of the schools population, I wandered off on my own looking for locker 179, which is my locker. I soon found it near my English room. There were quite a few guys checking me out on the way to my locker, not that I didn't expect it, I mean it happens all the time, I just shot back with glares. As much to my dislike, I found Mr. Grouch struggling with the locker next to mine.'
'I walked up to my locker, turned the spinney thing so it had my combination in it and pulled the handle open. I started piling books into it and every now and then I noticed Kai take a break from yelling things at his locker like 'open you damn piece of shit' as he did put it and 'why me' to look at me. I put some photos up and only kept the books in my bag that I would need for the rest of the day. Just as I finished, I shut the door to my locker and noticed Kai go back to his cursing at the locker. Just as I was about to leave I decided to be a little nice. I turned to the blue haired grouch and said "combination".
Kai looked at me confused and said "what."
"Locker combination."
He looked me in the eye and reluctantly gave me the combination. I opened up his locker for him and said "next time you need help opening your locker, just ask OK, instead of annoying the hell out of everyone around you."
With that I walked away.
Kai's POV
'I watched her walked away after she opened my locker. This is the first time I've seen her say something today. Although I don't think I've said anything when she was around either. Well she was definitely annoyed with all my yelling. This is going to be an interesting year with her around. Just then I saw Tala walking my way, so I quickly redirected my gaze to my locker.'
"Hey Kai, want me to get your locker open for …" Tala stopped mid sentence when he noticed my locker open. "I see you got your locker opened for once." He said laughing.
I glared daggers at him for laughing before a smirk appeared on his face then said "Well actually, the new girl Rachel opened my locker for me. Her locker is right net to mine."
"Damn you to god Kai, your so lucky." Whined Tala.
"So what do you say wanna go to lunch" Kai said while leading them down the hall to the lunch room.
Rachel's POV
'I walked into the lunch room alone looking for my sister, when a particular table caught my eye.'
'I walked to around the middle of the lunch room straight past the table my siblings were sitting at, and to a table where a bunch of familiar faces sat.'
'I sat down next to a boy about my age with black hair. They all looked at me, then greeted me and went back to there conversations.'
Normal POV
"Dudes, what does that Rachel chick think she's doing, she's sitting at a table with kids that have the same popularity status as we have on her first day of school, that's social suicide." Tala said with worry in his voice.
"Ah! Tala, is that worry in your voice, I sense that Tala's got a crush on the new girl," Ray laughed "I don't blame you though, she's smoking hot."
"I wouldn't go so far as a crush, probably more like a good fuck." Tala corrected. "Hey Kai, what do you think of the new girl?"
"Don't know, I don't know her well enough to have an opinion of her yet."
"Well your gonna get to know her, she's your family management partner after all, and we will get to see what her and her sister shop for, and what kind of house they live in" said Tala with a smirk on his face.
"So Rach, what's your first day of school been like. Do you still give people the silent treatment when you start at new schools; you know ignoring the teachers and all that?" Said Casey who seemed actually interested.
"Boring as hell and I've ignored everyone I don't know." Answered Rachel flatly.
"Well at least you're talking to us cause if you didn't I would have to send Jamie here to beat you up." Replied Riley.
"Thanks for the heads up Riles, and is that true Jay, would have really beaten me up if I didn't talk to you?" Asked a giggling Rachel.
"Maybe" was all Jamie said before the bell rang for third period.
The rest of the day ran by fairly slowly before the bell rang for bell rang for the end of school. The twins stopped by their lockers and went out to the front of the school, just by the side of the road waiting for the boys to pick them up to take them to take them to the mall to get the assignment over and done with.
Ten minutes have past and the boys still weren't there yet. Khristene was now sitting on the ground with her legs crossed leaning on her hands. Rachel was lying down on the ground with her head on her sisters lap and her knees bent.
Just then they heard a honk of a car horn, they looked up to see a midnight blue Porsche in front of them with all the bells and whistles on it and none other than Kai Hiwatari in the drivers seat and Tala Valkov in the passengers seat. Rachel's and Khristene's jaw dropped.
