A/N: Hello! This is my first Bully/Canis Canem Edit fanfic, so please go easy on me with the reviews! ...If anyone DOES review for that matter... But anyways, this is mainly a story with your same old little pair of twins, both entirely different from each other except for their appearances, and they end fighting a lot because of that. Now, I'm pretty sure I gave enough information in my crap-ass summary for what the hell happens, so I'm not explaining the rest of the story for you in here, just what cliché characters you'll have to deal with in this story. Buuut, if you can tell what old family movie reference I'm giving through the title, I'm sure you can figure out what the two twins will do during the school year. So enjoy, read, and review.
"Yes, yes, I'm very clear about the policies," Arriane Rayne said to Ms. Danvers over the phone, "...Alright ma'am, I understand. 9:30 in the morning-" Arriane barely had any time to reply before Ms. Danvers went over the school's rules and policies. She sighed and peered over at the two chestnut brown-haired twins in the next room. The one with the ponytail, named Jessebelle, was chattering on without taking a breath, just as Ms. Danvers was doing currently, beaming with pure confidence, and at times excitement. While the straight-haired girl with thick square glasses, named Marie, was listening quietly, barely giving her input into the conversation, and if she did it would always come out in two or three word sentences before Jessebelle began talking once again. Arriane smiled fondly at her two daughters, until Ms. Danvers says something that suddenly catches her attention.
"Really?" she asked, "...Oh dear. Hold on a second." She pressed her hand over the telephone and looked over into the living room. "Jessie, Marie," she called to the two girls, barely having to raise her voice in the slightly cramped household, "The school says that there's no more room in the girls dorm."
"Really?" Jessebelle repeated her mother's words in surprise, "Then what are we supposed to do?"
"I guess I'll just drive you there and back everyday." Arriane answered with slight resentment.
"Yeah, I think you should," Jessebelle replied, "I don't think Marie here could handle the boys dorm!"
Marie gave a small gasp in offence. "I can so!" she protested.
"Seeing all of those boys there, I bet she'd faint before the first day ends!" Jessebelle teased, ignoring her sister's protests.
"No I wouldn't!" Marie shouted, her anger rising, "I bet YOU wouldn't even last five seconds in the boys dorm without having a panic attack!"
"WHAT?" Jessebelle argued, "I so would not!" At this point, Arriane went back to talking to Ms. Danvers, ignoring the arguement in the next room. The twins would argue about almost everything, but it usually starts with Jessebelle teasing Marie about her quiet and fragile personality towards strangers, which is the polar opposite of her bold and confident nature. Arriane was used to it, since the fights would only end in the girls doing something stupid and just deciding to agree to disagree.
"I bet I can last longer in the boys dorm than you!" Jessebelle yelled at Marie, "You'll be begging for mom to take you home before you know it!"
"Nu-uh!" Marie protested, "I can so last longer than you!"
"Can not!"
"Can so!"
The two girls suddenly bolted into the kitchen, and shouted in union, "We want a room in the boys dorm!"
Arriane looked over to the girls, a look of surprise on her face. She was silent, as were the two teenagers as they glared at each other with the same look of determination, and their life long rivalry ever since their birth. "Uh..." Arriane said dumbly, pressing the phone back up to her ear as she continuously stared at her daughters, "Are you sure we can't register for a room in the boys dorm?"
"WHAT?!" Ms. Danvers' voice virtually screamed over the phone, filling the tiny kitchen as Arriane yanked the phone away from her ear. Ms. Danvers suddenly chattered on about how it would be unsafe for the girls to stay in the boys dorm, and about what the boys might do to them in the dorm.
"Ms. Danvers," Arriane said, trying to talk over to frantic sounding woman, "Ms. Danvers, I- MS. DANVERS!" Once Arriane finally got her attention through an ear shattering shout, she continued with hesitance, "...My girls would like a room in the boys dorm, please." She waited and listened. "...Alright... Okay... I see... Yes, I'm sure... Thank you. Goodbye, Ms. Danvers." Arriane hung up the phone, her expression in a mixture of confusion and indifference.
"...Sooooo, we in or what?" Jessebelle asked.
Arriane looked over at her girls, and smiled. "I don't fully approve of it, but yes." Jessebelle and Marie squealed, jumping up and down in their uncontrollable excitement as their hands locked in each other's. But, once they realized it, their looks of sibling rivalry returned as they folded their arms over their chests, each action in union. Arriane sniggered at the sight. "You two better learn how to get along," she said with a smile, "You know that the headmaster is probably going to stick you two together as dormmates. I'm sure he's not crazy enough to put you girls the same room as a boy..." Arriane's smile drooped as she bent over to the girls' short height, whispering to them as if they were in a public area instead of a tiny kitchen with just the three of them, "But if he is crazy enough to set you two up with a boy for a dormmate, call me and I'll get you out of there, okay?"
"Okay." the twins said in union before walking back to the living room.
"...I bet you wouldn't last one night with a boy as your dormmate..." Jessebelle murmured.
"I so would Jessie!" Marie yelled.
:The next day:
The silver Honda car drove down through the roads in Bullworth Town, and sped down the concrete bridge, passing several groggy and irritated looking civilians as Arriane drove.
"I really do hope you girls like this school," Arriane said to the twins in the back seat. While Marie was sitting up straight, bright eyed and bushy tailed, Jessebelle had her head to the glass window in the back, staring out at the road through the corner of her eyes. "Jessie, sweetheart, are you okay?" Arriane asked, glancing over at the 16 year old girl through the rearview mirror.
Marie gave Jessebelle a concerned look. "Big sis?" she asked worriedly, tapping her sister's thigh. She suddenly heard light snoring from the girl next to her. Jessebelle had fallen asleep during the ride.
"JESSEBELLE!" Marie and her mother both shouted at her. Jessebelle snorted and awoke.
"Wha- Huh- Who dat?!" Jessebelle piped spastically, darting her head back and forth. Marie giggled a little at her sister's frantic acts. Jessebelle glared at her. "Ah... shut up Marie."
"But I didn't say anythi-"
"Shut up Marie."
"Jessebelle, be nice to your sister!" Arriane scolded as she shot a warning glance at Jessebelle. Jessebelle huffed, holding her head up tiredly with her elbow, her chin in her palm. "I don't understand why you would be so tired, Jessie," Arriane said, "It's only 8:50."
"That's because you two are used to getting up at 6:30 in the damn morning!" Jessebelle spat, almost in a slur.
"That's because Marie and I are more diligent," Arriane smirked, "Unlike you, miss lazy-pants." Jessebelle rolled her eyes, thankfully without her mother noticing, and they all sat in silence for the rest of the ride, which lasted about a few seconds before they were in front the front gates of Bullworth Academy. The two twins left out the left side, rolling out their large black suitcases. "Are you two sure you want to stay in the boys dorm?" Arriane asked them, "I'm sure I can cancel your registration."
"No can do mom," Jessebelle replied, "I gotta prove to Marie here that she's a bigger wuss than me once and for all!"
"Am not!" Marie argued.
"Are too!" Jessebelle replied.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Goodbye girls!" Arriane said loudly over their ongoing argument.
"Bye mom!" both girls replied in union, hugging their mother through the driver side window. They watched as she drove off, both in complete silence.
Once their mother's car was out of view, Jessebelle finally spoke up, "So lil' sis, you ready?" She peered over at Marie, a sly smirk spread across her face. With a look of determination, Marie gave a quick nod, and the two turned and opened the gates of Bullworth Academy and entered, ready to face whatever was coming their way in the near or distant future.
