Bill's phone beeped. He sighed as he saw the name on the screen: Tom.
"i'm sorry bill. 4give me, please."
Bill ignored the message and put his mobile phone down. Literally after 2 minutes, Tom sent him another text message.
"bill, don't ignore me. i'm sorry. i shouldn't have said those mean things."
Tom knew what Bill was doing wihout even looking at him. It was like Tom had a crystal ball infront him, able to see what Bill was doing. Still, Bill wasn't going to forgive his twin.
The text messages didn't stop. Tom kept sending them. Soon, Bill's inbox was full of "I'm sorry" and "4give me". Not able to take it anymore, he sent Tom a fierce reply.
"stop flooding me, u idiot."
And that, was the start of their new way to communicate.
"bill! thank goodness u replied! look, i'm sorry. i take back what i said"
"2 late. u can't just apologize. u demoralized me. u r, or WERE my brother. u should accept me 4 WHO I AM."
Tom felt remorseful when he saw his brother's reply. Bill's right. He should have accepted Bill for who he was, no matter what. They are twins after all.
"i'm so sorry. will u just 4give me"
"no."
It was extremely straightforward-the text messages Bill sent. He just typed whatever came to his mind.
":( bill. we're brothers. u have 2 4give me. u can't stay mad me 4ever"
"says who? btw, we WERE brothers. WERE. just stop flooding my inbox n shuddup"
"bill... please..."
Bill could feel and imagine Tom groaning in that message. He missed it. Most importantly, he missed his twin. But, he couldn't bring himself to forgive Tom. Who could blame him? You'd be mad if your twin insulted you too.
Without hesitation, Bill shoved his phone into his desk drawer and closed it. He didn't want to get all soft-hearted again.
It seems like they're not living together, right? It looks like they're living in two different places. But, fact is, they're living together, in the same house, under one roof...
The next day, Bill left for school without Tom. It was the first time the twins are going to school without each other. Bill felt very alone.
"Bill!"
Bill turned around as soon as he heard his name being called.
It was Tom.
He ran after Bill. "Why didn't you wait for me, man?" He asked, panting. Bill ignored his brother. Tom looked down at his feet with heavy sigh. When the twins go to school, they'll be talking about the new and hot girls in their school or teasing each other. But, this time, it was very different. They're not talking to each other. What will it take for you to forgive me, Bill? Tom thought sulkily to himself.
As soon as the twins enter school, the bully approached them. But this time, he was looking for Bill.
"What happened to faggy Bill?" He said. Bill pushed him a side and continued walking, with Tom behind him.
"Trying to be cool, eh?" The bully shouted. "FAG."
Bill stopped in his tracks and turned around. He walked up to the bully and laughed coldly. "Fag, huh?" Bill said. Then, with a mighty swing, Bill's fist swept across the bully's face, giving the bully a nose bleed. "How's that for a fag?!" Bill shouted in anger. Tom ran to Bill after he saw what happened. "Bill!" He said in shock. "Are you crazy?" Bill ignored his brother, staring at the bully with his eyes wide and huge. "You son of a bitch!" The bully mumbled. He clenched his fist and was about to return the favor when a teacher stopped him.
"Greg! You're supposed to be in class now!" He said. "Bill and Tom, what are you doing here?" None of them replied him. "I'll get you later, motherfucker." Greg said, pointing at Bill. Bill wanted to punch him, but was held back by Tom and the teacher. As soon as the bully left, Bill squirmed and wiggled, trying to release himself from Tom and the teacher's grasp. They took their hands off him slowly, with hesitation. "I'm fine." Bill mumbled. Then, he walked away.
