Tale of the Twins
Chapter 3: Cue the Funeral Song
Lexis: You know, sometimes I cannot get over how fast you guys review. It's like fwoosh!!!and you've sunk your teeth in, lol!
Leo: *reading from a card" In this chapter, the twins finally meet the evil over-lord Crabblesnitch, and catch a glimpse - you spelt glimpse wrong on the card - of the mysterious brunette.
Lexis: OOoooooo, scary! Now, I am planning to do a read-along with this story. I'm gonna ask some friends to do some voice-acting for me and I'll post it the same place I do my vlogs. For information regarding my vlogs, visit my deviant art account. Same name, just google me!
Leigh: *bursts into the room randomly* LEO! *Glomps him*
Lexis: O...k, while they are busy, disclaimers still stand as usual and I may - HEY TAKE THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE LEO!!!

We walked into the head-teacher's office (one funeral song coming right up)...and what an office! About the size of Leigh's bedroom, a brown colour, shelves filled with books (would be better with some Chibi Vampire...or yaoi, delicious yaoi) and a large desk. One chair sat a man with black, graying hair. He wore a brown suit with a red tie. Opposite him were 2 chairs. Kitty went to sit down in one, and I sat in the other, while Leo stood in-between us, separating us like a mother would do to her boys who had fought over who should put the lego away and they would really be in trouble when their dad came home and stood on the lego...in bare feet.
"Ah, you two must be the Halloway sisters. Welcome to Bullworth academy. We have very high standards at this school."
"We can see that good sir. It seems like a wonderful school." Go, you silver tongue talker sis of mine!
"From your records, Katrina, we see that you seem to be the model student. Good grades, helpful towards staff and no conflicts with authority."
"I try my best sir." Flash that smile sis!
"Where as you, Louise-Ann..." Oh god here we go.
"While you seem to achieve fantastic results in your lesson and you usually seen as a kind a helpful person, it seems you have a problem with other students. Expelled for seriously injuring a student?"
"Ah, I can explain that! She took a dive at my family...worst of all my grandmother..."
"That does not mean it was necessary to cause injure to a fellow student!"
At last, Leo stepped in. "Dr Crabblesnitch, there is something you must understand. At the age of 9, Louise-Ann witnessed her grandmother's murder. While she cannot remember everything of the incident, she has had flashbacks. This student said "I bet your grandma wouldn't even love you, seeing as your probably not hers anyways." Louise-Ann holds her grandmother in high regards, so she felt right to take action. Needless to say, she does regret doing that." Regret my arse, bitch had it coming.
"I see. Well, as long as we don't have a repeat of the incident, we should have no problems. As long as the girls keep their noses clean..." Wait...what? "...then their stay at Bullworth should be a pleasant one. You may leave now."
"Goodbye sir." Me and my sister both chirped together.
"One more thing sir, the girls will be in their uniform from their previous school, as they techniqually still attend it. That should not be a problem for you should it?"
The doctorlooked at Leo coldy. Where was the bloody heater at when you needed one? "The girls will have to wear our uniform while they are here. I understand that their father put in a request that Katrina be put in Harrington House, and another to allow Louise-Ann to wear trousers due to some 'markings' on her legs. Louise will be allowed to wear the trousers, but they must suitable for school. Either jeans, or dress trousers."
"That shall be fine. Thank you for your time."
We left the office and headed out to the reception. Leigh got up and walked over to Leo, linking their hands together. But something was new. A boy, about 6 foot tall, was sitting where Katrina once sat. He had chocolate brown hair and the ends of his gently grated the base of his neck, it was kinda shaggy. He had the same colour eyes too, and fair skin. I noticed a scar over his right eye, it was pretty faint, but noticeable. I thought he was pretty attractive...scratch that, very attractive. Que nosebleed please. He sat with his arms folded and just looking at the door we had came out of. Me and Kitty looked over to were the bonny secretary was and saw her talking with a large burly man in a white uniform. And we caught a bit of what they were talking about.
"Gary will have to take these medicines. You don't want a repeat of what happened last year do you Miss Danvers?" YES! WE GOT NAMES. Secretary - Miss Danvers. Smexy boy with the chocolate hair - Gary. Leo grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the office area. We walked some more and headed outside. As we got outside the building Leigh turned to me and Kitty and said that was going to see Leo off. Leo wished us both a good time while we're here and walked away. But halfway downstairs, Leigh turned round and said something to me that was rather shocking.
"Hope you've locked your luggage pretty well. Some nosey cheerleaders like to snoop around the new girl's gear before deciding what insults to use."
I pulled out some keys and flashed them. "It's locked up like the box from Silent Hill 2." I should mention right about now, that I am a massive Silent Hill fan. I just can't get enough of the physco trauma. Leigh continued to walk with Leo. So me and Kitty were left alone. Until some respectable student, wearing a blue diamond vest over his shirt walked over to us.
"Why hello there dear ladies, you must be the Halloway Twins. What a pleasure it is to meet you. My name is Tad Spencer, and I've been sent to collect the fine young lady who is coming to stay at out house."
"T-that would be me. I'm Kitty, and this is my sister Lann." I waved. "It's a pleasure to meet you Tad."
"Smashing. Well, let us go to Harrington House Kitty. It's much more...livable than the other common accommodation here, haha!"
"Now wait one minute!" I yelled, cause Tad to stop leading my sister away. I didn't like the way he had his arm around her waist, no I did not like that at all. "As her twin sister, I should get some right to know what her accommodation looks like. So you're gonna have to take me with you, you understand?"
"Of course, if you would both follow me please." So we did. I swore that I could hear myself humming the tune Alone in the Town from Silent Hill 2. Seemed rather fitting actually.
"Over there," Tad pointed towards a large building with the word "Library" tagged on the front, "is our library." Well done, I think we have a candidate for Captain Obvious here. " It is highly recommended that you avoid it, if you want any sort of respect around here. You see, it is were the nerdshang about, and you don't want to socialise with them." By nerds, I'm guessing he means the smartarses who suck at sports, but are good with other lessons, and look weird, and are either scrawny or a lardy. We continued on till we reached a fountain. Could do with cleaning mind you. One side was some more of those Greasewannabes. It's like that film spawned loads of cosplayers for it, and they're getting it exactly right.
"If you look to your right, you will see the school's auto-shop. The Greasers, who are the poorest people who attend this school can be found there. Us preps, hate those greaseballs, so it would be a good idea to avoid them. In-front, you can see where our physical facilities are." In other words, the PE department. "If you wanna get involved in some sports, then that's fine. Also, this year is a lot safer for younger ladies such as yourselves."
"You may wanna explain that Tad. Some of us spend a lot of their spare time on the interwebz and they're not as smart as they should be."
Tad looked at me like I was some sort of animal. Wonder if he knows he's talking with an otaku, a sort of nerd for anime, manga and japanese games. "Well, last year, the teacher, Mr Burton, was rumored to be a pervert and walk in the girl's changing rooms. He was fired after there was a large riot here."
I glanced over at Kitty. This new teacher better not be a perv. I've noticed I've been switching between Katty and Kitty. You know, Kitty sounds more kawaii, but Katty is more of a nick-name...Kitty sounds kawaii, Kitty stays, take that inner thoughts! She shall be known as Katty by everyone else.
"And, to the left, is where the lovely Kitty will be staying."
"Tad, you call my sister Katty, ok? Kitty is my name for her, got it?"
"O-oh. Alright then, if you follow me dearies."
We entered Harrington House...and the other voices in my head shut up for once. It was sooooo massive. Armour was stood in a sort of lobby, and a large red-headed boy was stood in-front of some doors leading into the house. Also, canny cute I may add. I glanced over at Kitty, who had this habit of being offensive towards some people. I was positive she was holding back a comment regarding the tall boy's hair. I whispered to her "It's red, he ain't a ginger nut." and she seemed more relaxed. Kitty, may be cute and sweet, but she can be a cruel monster...like anonymous!The boy stood by, letting us past. We walked through, until he grabbed me and forced me back.
"Sorry, you aren't one of us."
"Oh hell no, I'm seeing where she's staying."
"Then you're gonna have to go through me."
He went into a boxer's stance. Time for some cathartic violence. Since I don't have a fighting style, I just spread my legs a lil and raise my fists. He took a punch, but I ducked, and rammed my elbow into his lower stomach. I have thin arms, but they do damage. I knocked the wind out of him, and he keeled over, holding holding his stomach and coughing lightly.
"T-that hurt." Well of course it did...candidate number 2 here.
"Well, when you're trained from the age of 7 till around 14 in hand-to-hand combat, or course it's going to hurt. Tad, show us Kitty's room please."
Tad, who had stood there with a dumb look on his face, suddenly re-gain his posture, and began walking ahead of us. After about 5 minutes, and two flight of stairs we had to climb, we reached Kitty's new room. It was a tad smaller than the one at home, but I guess if Kitty was ok with it, then we'd roll...she's jumping on the bed...room approved.
"Ok, this seems suitable. I'm off to my dorm."
Kitty stopped and jumped on me...a classic glomp manoeuvre. I hugged her back and left. I remember the way out, with no-one hastling me, which was good. I hate other people. Unless they prove they aren't useless...the Guantanamo bay approach to people. I walked back towards the enterance of the school. I assumed the smaller dorm was the boy's, so went with the obviously larger building with flowers growing out of the ground.
"Right, might as well get the nightmare over with, some of the lasses in there need their heads kicked in...oh and Leo said he'd bring you and Katty your lunches, made bu me mum, ok?" Leigh was stood next to me, sorting out her suspenders...it's either dungerees or suspenders with Leigh.
"Ok, let's get on with it. The quicker this is done, the quicker I can play Portal and watch Meet the Demoman..."
Me and Leigh paused and looked at each other...we both knew what was coming.
"Aw, they're gonna have to glue you back together...IN HELL!" We always quote that line from the trailer...in the best Scottish accents we can do. Sigh, well, here we go. Into the dorms. I just hope a shoulder bag filled with some manga and a metal cross can scare the girls away...the metal cross was a gift ok? I'm not religious or anything like that, I SWEAR!

Lexis: A friend, who was reading the fic, raised the issue that I had gone from Katty to Kitty. Katty will be the name everyone calls her, Kitty is ths sister nickname.
Leo: *off somewhere with Leigh*
Lexis: Ok, you guys are now waiting for chapter 4, sorry if some characters seem OOC, but whatever, I'm experimenting here. Also, keep an eye on my deviantart account. I'll put some artwork up of the twins, so you know what they look like. Yay for visual art.
