Leaning against my locker, I waited patiently for Maya to collect her books. After the whole 'Doll' incident, things had become pretty quiet. But it had only been a week, I was sure things would turn hectic soon enough. On another subject, it was yearbook week. In all honesty, I wasn't that bothered about it, I was only a Freshmen after all. So even if this photo didn't turn out good, I still had another three years to make it better. Speaking of which, Ethan and Benny had decided to take a break from History class, instead choosing to show their idea to the yearbook committee. Personally, I thought using avatars as yearbook photos was such a geeky idea. Not that I'd ever tell the boys that.
"So, where are your loveable nerds?" Maya asked curiously, closing her locker door.
"In the yearbook meeting. You have an avatar?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"Only for the Wii. Why?"
"Because that's their idea. They wanna use their avatars as yearbook photos" I shrugged. She chuckled.
"It's not a bad idea, but I doubt Hannah Price will go for it" she replied. I nodded in agreement.
Hannah Price was, as you must've figured out, the head of the yearbook committee. I'd never really met her before, just seen her around. But according to most of our year, she was a pretty nice girl, if you didn't tick her off of course "Anyway. You seen Rory around?"
"Nope, why? You miss him already?" I teased. She pouted, lightly shoving me as I laughed.
"No! I just like being around him" she admitted, shrugging innocently.
"Emma!" We both turned around, finding Ethan jogging towards us.
"Hi bro, what's up? How did the yearbook thing go?" I asked. He sighed.
"She said no to the photos, instead they're gonna use some old camera that Benny sold to her last week. Anyway, Hannah Price asked if she could trust me. Is it a trap?" he asked with narrowed eyes.
"A trap? What does that mean?" Maya asked confusedly.
"If she wants to trust you then let her. I trust you" I shrugged. He nodded.
"Thanks. I asked Sarah, and she told me to think of it as an experiment. So I'm collecting more data, then when I figure out if I'm trustworthy I'll let Hannah know" he chuckled nervously.
"Aw, I love how nerdy you are" I cooed, playfully ruffling his hair.
"Thanks a lot" he groaned, trying to fix his now-messy do.
"It's fine Ethan, if she wants to trust you then that means that she might like you" Maya smirked. His eyes widened slightly.
"Sarah said the same thing. Thanks guys, you're awesome!" he exclaimed before running down the hall.
"I really don't get that boy" Maya sighed, shaking her head in thought.
"Me either. And we're twins" I replied. She chuckled and we headed to History class.
"So this morning, Hannah Price asked if she could...confide in me" Ethan said, explaining his situation to Benny.
"Dude, it's a trap" Benny chuckled. I rolled my eyes, turning in my seat to face the two.
"What does that even mean?!"
"I knew it! The next time I saw her, she swore like my dad in traffic!" Ethan exclaimed.
"There are two sides to every girl, like a coin. Heads; She's crazy. Tails? Same as heads" Benny shuddered. I rolled my eyes again.
"Huh" Ethan sighed in thought.
"Hey Cammi! Oh I totally love your skirt" We all turned our heads at the sound of Hannah's voice, spotting her in the hall complimenting some girl.
"Heads" Benny nodded. Rolling my eyes, I turned back around in my seat, but saw something unusual near the other door. Hannah had just knocked some guys books out of his hands, smirking as he picked them up from the floor.
"Oops, I am so sorry" she said sarcastically before cackling as she walked away.
"Tails. Good luck with that" Benny said from behind me.
"Maybe she has some kind of...split-personality disorder. Not every girl is like that!" I exclaimed, turning back around to face the boys.
"Uh...yeah, they kinda are" Benny replied in a 'duh' tone.
"I'm not like that" I shrugged. Both boys shot each other knowing smirks.
"You are like that" Ethan chuckled "Remember when we were little? If someone even tried to tell you it was bedtime you would throw a fit!"
"That's different! I was six, no one likes bedtime when they're little. I'm not that bad anymore" I sighed, shaking my head.
"Of course not" Benny muttered sarcastically. Pouting, I huffed and turned back around in my seat.
Maya and I entered the cafeteria in time to see Rory get wailed in the face with a large bowling pin. He cried out in pain, clutching his eye as he sped-walked away. My eyes widened slightly, but we both sat down in front of Ethan and Benny "What the heck was that?!" I hissed. Both boys gestured behind me and I turned my head.
"Yes! Now that was a three pointer! Who else wants some of this?!" Hannah Price shouted, standing in her seat and shooting everyone threatening looks.
"That girls is all kinds of whacko today" Maya muttered as we turned back to face the boys.
"If she asks you out, you better say yes" Benny told Ethan. I chuckled, opening my soda can.
"I know who'll be wearing the pants in that relationship" I said amusedly. Maya snickered.
"Oh no, she saw us. What do we do?" Ethan asked nervously. Glancing back, I realised Hannah was approaching us.
"Just, act natural" Benny instructed.
"Well, I'm naturally nervous so I should be okay" My brother replied. Two hands suddenly slammed down on the table in between me and Maya, I knew instantly that it was Hannah.
"Baby still crying because he can't be Superman in the year book?" she asked, staring down at Benny.
"Superman? Please. He's a bit too retro, a little too old-school" Benny shrugged, leaning back in his seat. Hannah scoffed, grabbing his tray and sliding the contents onto his lap.
"Aw, and it was such a nice nerd shirt" she mocked, raising to her full height.
"Back off Hannah" I sighed, rolling my eyes irritatedly.
"Or what?" she asked threateningly. Before I knew what was happening, Maya had gotten to her feet.
"This" My friend shrugged, picking up her own soda can and pouring it over Hannah's head.
"You're gonna regret that!" Hannah screamed, stomping her foot.
"See that's funny because right now, I feel nothing" Maya replied innocently, sitting back down next to me. Hannah stormed out of the cafeteria and I shook my head in disbelief.
"That was awesome!" I exclaimed. Maya smiled shyly, poking her food with her fork.
"Totally!" Ethan added.
"Yeah. But I don't care how much of a crush she has on you, she just made Benny's list" Benny said, glaring at the door Hannah had gone through.
"Sweetie, what exactly can you do?" I asked, shaking my head. He merely smirked in response.
"I'll show you" he muttered, grabbing his satchel and running out of the cafeteria.
"Should I be worried?" Maya asked, turning back to me and Ethan.
"Yeah" We both replied in unison, glancing at the door Benny had run through.
"So Hannah Price has an evil twin?" Maya asked disbelievingly.
It was the end of the school day, and we were both headed towards the exit. But thankfully, Ethan had told me what was going on with Hannah. She didn't have some kind of disorder, she had a twin, or to be more specific; An evil twin. I'd decided to give Maya the heads up, leaving out the part about Benny's magic camera being the cause of it all "Yeah. I guess it makes some sense" I shrugged.
"Yeah. Did you know she had a twin? I didn't even know that!" she exclaimed.
"Nope. But if they dress exactly the same then that's probably one of the reasons why no one else knows" I replied. She nodded in thought.
"Still, a twin! I did not see it coming"
"Me either. Listen I'll call you later" I said as we exited the school.
"Yeah, sure. Bye" she waved. I waved back before turning and heading home.
