Dragonfly

A humongous sigh left my lips as I heaved the last box onto the couch, little particles of dust floating up gently from it. I pushed back a strand of black hair from my face, looking around the living room to see how much work needed to be done. Good thing we got an apartment. Fewer things to unpack.

"Was that the last of them?" I asked my twin who just finished stepping onto the last step of the stairs. But she didn't hear a word I said, for music was blasting in her ears. I suppressed a sigh and walked over to her. She set down the take out we ordered on the kitchen table without looking at me and with a quick yank on the chord; I pulled out one of her ear buds.

"The hell? I was listening to that", she exclaimed, an annoyed expression etched on her face. Her smoky gray eyes skewered me, daring me to say something. Which I was.

"You're going to go deaf before you're even thirty", before she could say anything else I went on,"I asked if there were any other boxes in the car. "

Snow simply shrugged and walked off towards one of the rooms, taking her share of the food along with her. I wanted to choke her sometimes for how annoying she could be. At least, I had control over my emotions. She was just a raging snowstorm waiting to happen.

I shook my head, heading down the stairs from our apartment to the car, double checking if there were any last boxes. There was none so I locked it up, making sure the doors didn't open and went back up the stairs.

Once inside, I closed the door and shuffled to the nearest seat which was a beanbag chair. Boy, I was tired. It seemed like it was just yesterday we started moving in. Oh wait. It was.

Tomorrow was Monday. Monday means school and school means people. I did not want to meet new people at a new school so early. Normally, I'm a nice person. Really, I am but having had to take care of paperwork for myself and my sister was a terrible bore. Along with finding the new apartment we're in now. New school, new people, new apartment….new life. At least my aunt had helped me with this, unlike a certain silver headed girl I know. I reminded myself to make a mental note to give Snow a piece of my mind tomorrow.

We had all the furniture moved in the day before but it was scattered in places we didn't quite like so tomorrow, moving things around was another to-do on the list. Then there was cleaning the place up a little and unpacking at least half these boxes.

Gosh, my mind refused to shut up and stop the hamster wheel. I needed to relax before the big day. I sighed and grabbed my bowl of Chinese food from panda express, sitting back down on the chair.

Scooping up chow mien into my mouth, I searched for the control of the TV and decided to watch reruns of Once Upon a Time.

xXx

I woke up to the soft glow of the TV, a groan at my lips as I tried to move my neck but it was sore stiff. I realized I fell asleep on the beanbag in a curled up position. Ugh. I blinked once, twice to get rid of the blurriness you receive after a nap searching for the time. I found my phone and switched it on reading the time that flashed up.

4:00am

Mmm….a little too early for school. But I couldn't go back to sleep like this. Not when I was all sore and stiff. I stood up, heading for my room to grab clothes for the day and take a shower. I walked blindly to the bathroom after I got my set of clothes, arms extended to find a light switch somewhere on the wall and finally a bulb blinked to life.

I shut the door behind me slowly, careful NOT to wake my sister up. No one wanted to face her grumpy ass. I set down my things on the bathroom counter and walked the few steps to the shower, turned on the water and stripped my yucky clothes off while it heated.

Once it was warm enough, I jumped in willing myself to relax before I begun to stress myself out all over again. Today has to be a good day. Just smile. I nodded to myself, washing away the dirt on my body with soap.

By the time I was done with the bathroom, only half an hour had passed. I stared at myself in the mirror, making weird expressions to pass the time as I thought on what to do next.

I couldn't think of anything super productive so I walked back into the living room and grabbed the book I took with me in the car and went to my room. Flopping back on my heavenly bed, I began to read where I left off, swinging my legs back and forth from the edge of the bed.

Before I knew it, a soft knock was heard at my door and a silver head peeked into my room," Are we going or…?" I rubbed my eyes from fatigue I didn't realize I had and looked at the time.

6:30am

I love books. The world falls away…

"Yeah, yeah. Grab your stuff." I sat up, saving my spot and putting the book on a small table. Snow frowned, her hopeful expression turning into one of annoyance. Her silver head disappeared as she walked across the hall to get her things.

I grabbed a couple of notebooks from one of the boxes in my room, along with two lead pencils and shoved them into my backpack, meeting my twin in the living room. Her grey eyes met mine and she scowled, turning towards the door and yanked it open, stomping down the stairs. I walked out after her, locking the door behind me and took my time walking down the stairs. We were identical in appearance, besides the hair. It was a similar short style but different color since she dyed it. That's what most people use to tell us apart unless they're close to us then it's very obvious how not alike we are.

Sliding into the drivers' seat of my blue truck, I became aware of what I was missing. I forgot the stupid car keys. Before I got out, a hand dangled a set of keys in front of my face, shaking them. At the corner of my vision, I saw Snow roll her eyes. I pursed my lips together and snatched the keys from her hand, starting the car with a quick flick from my wrist. "Thanks."

Snow reached over to switch on the radio, flipping through the channels for something good to listen to. As we drove to school in silence, I began to grow more nervous by the second. I knew there was still a few more forms and paperwork to fill out at the school and I really hoped nothing embarrassing happened this first day. Or first week…or first month. HOPEFULLY NEVER.

"Dragon…stop worrying."

"How do you know I'm worrying?" We entered the school and I began to search for a parking spot. Lucky us, there was one near the office building. I started to ease into it.

"You're face. You'll get wrinkles faster if you keep that look on it." I frowned and then tried to make my face go neutral. I was probably working too hard on that for Snow snorted as she shut the door to the truck when she hopped out.

It was 7 when we entered the school office, classes started in 30 minutes and nervous butterflies fluttered through my stomach.

"So? Where do we go Dragon?" Snow asked, adjusting the strap of her backpack on her shoulder.

I pushed her in the direction where it clearly read OFFICE and shoved her inside, immediately met by a secretary.

The curly brunette looked up from her computer and gave us a warm smile, "Can I help you?"

"Um, we were wondering-"

"Oh! You're the new transfers right? The principle is through this door, just go on in." She smiled again and gestured to the door on her right.

I nodded my thanks and made my way towards the door, Snow trailing behind. I knocked hesitantly and a muffled voice called us in. I pushed open the door to find a plump elderly lady sitting at a desk, scribbling on a stack of papers. She looked up at the sound of our shuffling feet and smiled, adjusting her cat eye glasses.

"Hello hello! Take a seat, take a seat." Nervous butterflies intensified. We both complied, sitting on the chairs in unison.

"Welcome to Amoris High! As you already know, I'm the principle of this school and I hope you have a great school year here with us. But first, I need you two to fill out these forms along with a fee and school I.D. Oh! Also, check in with Nathaniel. He's the student president and should help you with these to get them over with quicker." She seemed nice. A little rushed but nice. She stuck out the forms to us and shooed us gently towards the door, in a hurry for us to get a move on. I tried to suppress my smile as I got up and thanked her. Snow remained quiet the whole time.

I skimmed through the form as I walked out of the office, looking over what had to be done. I guess it couldn't be helped. Luckily there was no one roaming the halls but that didn't mean I knew where the student president resided in. Maybe he had class. After all, the bell did ring while Snow and I were with the principle.

"So…where to first?" I asked Snow, looking behind me only to realize I was alone. Typical. I resisted the urge to pout as I walked aimlessly, peeking through doors.

I was just about to give up as I rounded a corner when I failed to notice someone coming from the opposite direction. I stumbled back a few steps as the person in front of me grunted, steadying himself as a stack of papers floated to the ground.

"Oh gosh. Sorry…I didn't hear anyone coming and I…"

"No it's fine. My fault", a soft laugh was heard as the blonde bent down to pick up the papers and I immediately began to help, stacking one on top of the other and handing them back until I had no papers left. Wait. My form.

A nervous laugh escaped my lips," I um…I might have given you one of my papers."

He looked up and bright yellow eyes met my dark grey. His smile brightened his face and we stood up simultaneously.

"It's fine. What was on it?" he asked while leafing through the papers casually.

He was very good looking…it took me a moment to process what he was saying until he gave me an expectant look," Oh uh. A form. For my uh transfer and well...um I'm new? Do you know where I can find Nathaniel? The principle said to talk to him and well…I'm not quite sure…" I wrapped my arms around myself, a nervous habit as my voice slowly became a mumble at the end.

"That's me." He flashed me another smile and handed me my sheet, apparently having had found it. "Just hand it back to me when you're done along with your I.D. Have you paid the fee yet?"

I shook my head, slowly taking back my form. He's Nathaniel? I pictured someone…less attractive. Nathaniel started to walk away and gestured for me to follow, heading towards a door near the end of one of the many hallways.

"Ah, principle. I swear sometimes I don't know what she would do if I weren't here" he shook his head with a smile that seemed to want to laugh," Well like I said, just hand everything to me when you're done."

"O-oh! Well, I can pay the fee right now?" Nathaniel led the way into what seemed to be a sort of lounge/ meeting room and turned to face me. I shuffled my things around my backpack, looking for my wallet in a frazzled state. I fumbled it open once it was found and took out $25. I didn't fully register how bad my hand was shaking until his covered my own.

I looked up and found him staring at me with a kind expression. I had a feeling he always had that look," Hey. No need to be so nervous. "He gently took the money from my hand and walked over to a cabinet, pulling out a folder and scribbling something along with putting my money away. I looked around the room, my eyes falling on a pen at the table and reached towards it. I leaned down over it, skimming over the form again and began to sign.

Once I was done, I gave that to him as well. He nodded,"Alright. Just need that I.D hmm?"

I tried to smile, to appear nice but it probably looked more like a grimace. I was never very good with interacting with attractive boys; that was Snows' division. I still needed to give her that piece of my mind. More now than ever for ditching me.

"Yeah…where do I do that?"

"Pass the courtyard to the bookstore. It's beside the gym. I could show you the way if you'd like?" I didn't trust my voice any longer so I simply nodded, my stomach making funny flips with butterflies going wild.
