A/N: New fic! Lalalalalalala. Yeah, I need to finish Getting to Lovina and then get started on It's Not Easy Being a Nordic. I also need to work on my Harry Potter fics. But I suddenly got an awesome idea for this, so I figured that I may as well get it down.

Jing Mei is Taiwan, and Xiang is Hong Kong. Mari is fem!Iceland.

Translations at the end.

Chapter 1: In Which Evil Twins and Cousins are Evil

Jing Mei Wang, or rather, 王静梅, was not the type of girl to purposely go looking for trouble. In school, she was quiet and did her work, much to the delight of her weary teachers. At home, she was the bossy little sister, forever trying to make Yao be polite to Kiku and to convince Xiang to take the firecrackers out of his room. Their parents were always busy, so the Wang children were given a certain amount of freedom; unfortunately, the boys sometimes abused this privilege. Jing Mei was the one to keep them in line twenty-four seven. Unluckily for her, her cousins weren't much better than her brothers. Yong Soo was probably one of her biggest headaches. The Korean boy's propensity for groping people of both genders at all times was extremely disconcerting and beyond annoying.

It should not have been a surprise to Jing Mei when her twin and her perverted cousin decided to gang up on her.

Jing Mei was enjoying a nice cup of Puer tea when the two boys made their way into her room and onto her bed. She glared at them as they purposely messed up her sheets. Xiang just stared back at her emotionlessly as Yong Soo smirked with a wink. Extremely aggravated, she threw her shoe at her cousin.

"Mei Mei!"

"What?"

"Why did you throw that shoe at me?"

Jing Mei rolled her eyes and turned back to her work.

"Shouldn't you guys be busy somewhere else?"

"Nah," replied Xiang, flicking open his cell phone to see if he had any new texts. "Mari's at home helping Nora cook something. She hasn't even texted me. Yao is running away from that weird Russian girl again."

"Yup," chirped Yong Soo, playing catch with one of Jing Mei's pillows. "And Aniki Kang Dae is at his piano lesson. So we're here to annoy you."

"What about Kiku?"

"She's with those two weirdo friends of hers. You know, that one freshman obsessed with pasta and the other neat freak blondie?"

Jing Mei was at her wit's end. She glared harder at her twin.

"翔，你没有别的事情做吗？"

He shrugged. "我的朋友都很忙。我的功课也做完了。"

"但是我也很忙。你不能去找哥哥吗？那个女孩已经走了吧？"

"Hey!" cried out Yong Soo indignantly, mad at being ignored. "I don't speak Mandarin!"

The twins ignored him, immersed in their own conversation.

"Hey!"

They finally turned to look at him, Jing Mei with obvious annoyance and Xiang with well-disguised contempt.

"Let's play a game!" Yong Soo replied quickly, panicked at the sight of the aggravated twins.

"Let me finish my homework first…"

"You already finished."

Jing Mei glared at Xiang, who was leafing through the papers on her desk.

"You were just drawing flowers."

"That was for Art!"

"You don't even take Art."

"GUYS!" whined Yong Soo.

"Fine!" Jing Mei threw her hands up in frustration.

"Awesome!" declared Yong Soo. "Xiang and I get to take turns asking you questions and daring you to do things."

"WHAT?" squawked Jing Mei, getting onto her feet. "Xiang!"

"是他的主意。"

"You're the worst brother ever!"

"谢谢，姐姐。"

"Okay! Let's start."

Jing Mei got back in her chair while continuing to glower at the two teenagers on her bed. Xiang was still as emotionless as ever, although Jing Mei could tell that he was gloating on the inside. Yong Soo, on the other hand, was showing his triumphant gleefully.

"Ok, first one, Mei Mei. Do you have a crush on anyone?"

The irate girl rolled her eyes. "You're such a girl, Yong Soo. Of course not. I'm too busy for a boyfriend."

The two boys shared a look that gave Jing Mei an intensely suspicious feeling.

"好，静梅。Are you lesbian?"

"你脑子有问题吗？"

Xiang waved it off. "It was his idea."

"No! Of course I'm not! That's totally absurd, you idiots."

Yong Soo grinned widely. "Just making sure. Now…"

The two cousins conferred quietly as Jing Mei watched on with growing unease. She knew the two to be brilliant plot hatchers when they actually put their minds together. She had had to clean up a million of their messes in the past.

"Ok, Mei Mei. Last one. We DARE you to prank text someone, and it has to be anyone we say."

"No."

"You'll have to do something embarrassing if you don't agree."

"Like what, you pervert?"

"Go to school in only your underwear," replied Xiang with a straight face.

Jing Mei gaped at him. "You wouldn't."

His eyes glittered mischievously. "I would."

The twins stared at each other for two minutes straight as their cousin looked between the two of them excitedly.

"Fine," Jing Mei agreed reluctantly.

"Manshe!" whooped Yong Soo, jumping into the air. "Who should it be Xiang-Muffin?"

The other boy was rapidly texting away on his face. Without missing a beat, he replied, "I'm asking Mari. She likes this idea and she has the perfect candidate in mind, apparently."

Anyone associated with her brother's unofficial girlfriend was enough to force Jing Mei under her bed in embarrassment. To start with, Mari's own sister was a bit weird. Nora was really into mystical creatures and folklore. Even Nora's boyfriend was insanely into it. After the sister, there were the friends. One was a nice blonde girl who was a junior who seemed innocent enough; however, rumor had it that she was one fearsome creature when angered. The blonde's boyfriend was the most intimidating person in the school after Yao's stalker. Finally, there was an obnoxious junior boy with spiky hair, a dense head, and an incorrigible attitude. If Jing Mei had to prank one of them, she was doomed.

"Yup. She's got it. Here's the number, Jing Mei."

Jing Mei peeked at the slip of paper her brother had handed her.

"Anders Densen? Which one is he?"

"The obnoxious one."

"Hey!" protested Yong Soo. "He's one of my buddies!"

"Exactly why," countered Xiang."

"But what if he figures out this is my number?"

"He won't. No one he talks to knows your number. Except maybe Yong Soo."

"And I won't tell," he announced proudly.

Jing Mei just sighed and grabbed her cell phone. "If I get humiliated, you guys are never hearing the end of this."

If you liked this chapter, then I would recommend that you check out my other ongoing fic Getting to Lovina. It's also a schoolfic, but it's set in a private international academy, whereas this one is set in modern American high school.

Thanks!
