Daniel's Pov:
Henley, Merritt, and I were arguing when we heard a single pair of footsteps coming up the stairs but two voices.
"Please Jackie! If needed can I do the catchphrase?"
"No Liv I wanna do it. You did it last week when we broke into that chick's apartment."
"Fine, you win Jack."
One of the voices was female and the other was male but we knew that guy's name was Jack and her name was Liv or something. When the footsteps stopped I turned around to greet them. The girl was on the guy's back with her arms wrapped around his shoulders and her legs wrapped around his waist. When they look at us their eyes went gigantic.
"No way. J. Daniel Atlas, Henley Reeves, and Merritt McKinney." I looked at Merritt and Henley and their eyes were huge too. We weren't freaked out that people knew who we were. We were freaked out by the way they said that word for word, together.
The girl slid off of the guy's back and now that I got a look at the both of them side by side, it was strange. They both had dark brown hair, his was short and spiked, hers was long and curly, black boots, black skinny jeans, a white tee shirt, a black leather jacket, and a purple tied bracelet around their left wrists.
Merritt decided to break the awkward silence and hold up his tarot card. "Did you two get one of these?"
They both nodded and used their right hand to start reaching into their back pocket to get it before I yelled out.
"STOP THAT!"
Henley started laughing at me, and not long after Merritt joined in too. The two teenagers who have not really been given a chance to introduce themselves just glance at each other in perfect time.
Liv interrupts. "Is there a problem that we don't know about?"
Henley stops long enough to clear up the confusion. "I just think Danny Boy here is a little jealous of you two..."
Jack and Liv both raise only their right eyebrow and say, "Why would J. Daniel Atlas be jealous of us?" while pointing back and forth between the two them with their left hand.
This just causes Merritt to laugh even harder. Hard enough he grabbed my shoulder to steady himself. "You two crack me up. I like you. What are your names anyway?"
Liv starts, "Well that gorgeous man is Jack Wilder." This causes him to smirk.
Jack finishes, "And that my lovelies is Olivia Brenner." She smirks the same smirk too.
Henley and Merritt ask at the same time "Are you two dating?" and "You aren't twins?"
Olivia and Jack sigh, turn to face each other, use their right hand, pull out their wallets, then a five dollar bill a piece, then they swap fives before putting their wallets up.
"Dang" Jack started this time, "I wanted" "To make some cash today" Olivia completes. "Bet" They say.
I growl. "I hate you two." Henley slaps my arm. "I love them. They are awesome. Don't you think Merritt?"
"Totally!" He smiles.
"You two need to coordinate sentences. You aren't allowed to speak at the same time. Ever."
I just got a "Whatever Atlas!" from both of them.
This time only Olivia speaks. Thank God. "Is there a reason we are standing in the hallway of a dingy apartment building? Are we waiting on someone or something?"
I sigh "The door's locked."
"Dang you Jack. You knew we were going to need it."
Jack smirks, "No, Nothing's ever locked." He held his right hand palm up and Olivia sets something in it. Within 5 seconds the door is open and we are in.
The 'Twins' walk ahead of me. "You're Welcome!" they call over their shoulder.
Behind me Henley and Merritt are bursting out laughing. Ugh. I hate these kids.
