Twenty-six
I could hear an annoying beeping noise, I frowned, I rolled over in bed and placed my hand on my alarm clock. I picked it up and threw it at my wall, "Felicity throw it at the other wall!" Freya shouted.
"Don't throw it at all!" Mom shouted.
"Shut up," I groaned. I rolled back over and frowned my bed was empty, I sat up and frowned, Derek had snuck back out my window again. I groaned and l sat up and looked around my room, from the latest alarm clock it had made a dint in my wall. I winced I was going to get in trouble for that when my parents saw it. I got out of bed and got dressed, I yawned and made my way into Freya's room, "your wall is the furthest away so you get the alarm clock."
"You could just turn it off like a normal person," Freya said flatly.
I scoffed. "I'm not normal," I told her. "I do try not to set it but mom comes in my room and sets it."
"That's because the last time you kicked her into your bedroom door, she didn't even know you could be that strong," Freya said. "Are you actually coming to school with me? Or is your boyfriend who probably just snuck out your window taking you?"
"I don't actually know when he snuck out," I told her. "Yeah I'm coming with you, I need some bacon." I walked out her room and ran downstairs, I walked into the kitchen and mom was cooking the bacon. "I have a whole in my wall from alarm clock number." I trailed off as I tried to think how many alarm clocks I had actually broken now.
"Too many to count," mom said flatly. "I'll fix it, well your dad will. Sit down your breakfast is ready, I won't be home until early morning shift is a long one today. Your dad has a business trip and he will be leaving for that at 2pm, so you girls will be only tonight and I expect you to be responsible."
"Can we have a movie night?" I asked quietly. "Invite some friends around and just watch films?"
"Sure," mom said. She handed me a plate and I sat down at the table and began to eat the bacon sandwich this is one of the great reasons to be up early. Bacon. "I wonder if you look at the bacon the same way you look at Derek."
"I don't want to eat Derek," I said frowning. "I am eating this bacon though."
Mom laughed Freya came down and grabbed a plate off mom and sat down at the table, I put my plate in the kitchen sink and yawned, "how can you be tired? You sleep all the time," Freya asked flatly.
"Because I can," I said not really having an excuse other than the fact I was lazy. "Because you take half of my energy."
"Haha," she said rolling her eyes.
"I know I'm hilarious thank you," I laughed. Mom shook her head quietly and turned to face us both. "Haha."
"You are in an awfully good mood Felicity," mom said. "Did something happen? You aren't usually this happy or anything actually."
I looked at her raising an eyebrow, "mom, can I not be happy?!" I asked shaking my head.
"No," Freya said with a laugh. "You always grumpy in the morning hence why I get an alarm clock at my wall every single morning."
I looked at her flatly, "dear sister that alarm clock deserves everything it gets," I said pointedly. "Anything that is used to wake me up is horrible, hence why I don't use my phone." I shook my head and grinned, "why can't I be happy?"
"Because you are a grump," a new voice said. I turned to see dad walk into the kitchen and I frowned, "hence why we have holes all over the house."
"Meanies," I pouted.
"Did you and Derek have sex?!" Freya asked.
"Freya!" I screamed.
"I should hope not," my parents said at the same time.
"I haven't," I said flatly. I reached over and slapped Freya around the head, "I'm sorry I will be grumpy from now on since you are so suspicious!"
"Felicity you aren't a happy morning person, you are a grumpy morning person," dad said with a smile. "You get that from me I'm afraid kid." Dad kissed my head and then patted it, "morning sucks."
"Well after that bullying moment I'm going to school," I said. I looked to see Freya was still eating, she had a sandwich I took a bit out of her sandwich and she frowned, "hurry up, some of us have weeks of homework to catch up on."
"Some of us shouldn't have been in hospital twice!" Freya protested.
"You have a point, sadly though I don't care," I laughed. I went to take another bite and I felt a slap around my head.
"Touch my food and I will bite your hand off," she said flatly. I pouted and she smirked, "don't touch my food in future. Some of us have sharp teeth."
"Some of us can somehow control the wind," I said smirking.
"Girls no need to try out your abilities on each other, you two may be supernatural but the house is not," mom said pointedly. "Do it in the woods if you have to." I laughed "I don't like you like this."
"Come on Freya we are just being insulted by our parents," I said flatly. "Bullies, all of you." I walked out the kitchen and into the living room, I picked up my bag and opened the front door. "Freya come on!" I yelled.
"I'm coming you loser!" She shouted back. I looked over my shoulder to see her scoffing the last part of her bacon sandwich down her throat, she picked up her bed and slammed the door shut behind us. We walked towards school and as soon as we arrived she walked off.
"Goodbye," I called sarcastically. "Where are you even going?"
"I am going to talk to my teacher about the test I failed whilst you were in hospital because I didn't even go," Freya admitted. "Don't tell mom and dad, they always complain about me failing."
"Alright is that why you wanted to leave?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah, your library excuse was good enough, I'm sorry I used you again but I can't tell them I failed another test."
"Tell me when and I'll cover," I said softly. "I know how hard school can be for you Freya. I'll always cover and be there when you need me to. And on that note I'm going to the library."
"Thanks," Freya said.
I went to my locker and began getting my books out we had about an hour until lessons began, I was so glad that we only had one more day left until the weekend. I grabbed my access card and let myself into the library, I found an empty table and got myself sorted, I looked over the books and started in order of what I had to do. I put all my attention into getting this work done in the small time I had before class.
The bell rang and I jumped, I looked up in surprise Lydia was sat there also working, "how long have you been sat there?" I asked curiously.
"For about half an hour," she said. "You were too busy concentrating on your work to even noticed when I arrived, by the way you work fast."
I smiled, I packed my stuff into my bag and made my way towards my locker I placed the extra work in and began to get the stuff I needed for English. I walked into my classroom and sat in my seat I looked to my right and frowned, where was Freya? The bell rang again a moment later the classroom door shut, I couldn't help but frown, what was my sister doing that made her late?
10 minutes into the lesson the door finally opened I turned to see Freya walking in, "sorry I'm late, I had a make-up test," Freya said handing them a note. She came over and sat next to me, I looked at her, "test ran late." I raised an eyebrow and she grinned, "I snuck in to see Scott before coming to this lesson but I was like 4 minutes late anyway."
"Girls is there anything you would like to say to the class?" The teacher interrupted the conversation. I was beginning to think she hated me and the sad thing is that she had me almost everyday. "Since you believe that it is more important than my lesson."
"No I'd like not to say it to the whole class which is why I am whispering it to my sister," Freya said, the class chuckled and I stared at her in disbelief. "If I wanted the whole class to hear it I would say it."
"Freya," I said shocked.
She laughed and shook her head, "oh that's funny," she said.
The teacher just stared at us, clearly she had yet to experience a day where Freya and I bounced off each other as much as we did today. "Detention both of you," she said.
"What did I do?" I asked shocked. "It was her that was rude not me, gosh being punished for being a twin." Freya looked at me and laughed, I winced and turned to face her. "That's why isn't it?"
"Yes," the teacher said. "After school today."
I sighed and slumped back in my seats as I looked at Freya who just seemed happy, she was so strange today. "Well then Felicity shouldn't be punished for my rudeness so I'll be there, Felicity has work to catch up on you know being in hospital for a long time."
I looked at Freya, I wanted to hit her today, clearly she had took some of my happy energy from this morning, she never used to argue with teachers although I was the smart one I was also the bad one the one that got in detention more than anything. I put my head down and carried on with my work I would let Freya argue it out with our teacher, by the time the bell rang I was glad. Freya was driving me crazy, she wouldn't shut up the whole way through the lesson and I don't know what was wrong with her.
I left my classroom and put my stuff in the locker I took my phone out of the locker shoving it in my pocket, "Hey Floss," Scott said. I turned to look at Scott "can we talk?"
"Have you noticed Freya being weird? After her test she's gone a little loopy," I said frowning.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about actually, she just walked straight past me and into a cupboard, like walked smack bang into the door," Scott said.
"She's clumsy," I said shrugging, "something is weird, I think she might have had no sleep that's the last time loopy Freya had an appearance."
"You name her personalities?" Scott asked shocked.
I scoffed, "you put up with her in this mood," I said pressing my lips into a thin line. "I'll keep an eye out, at first I thought maybe it's backlash off us healing each other, but that's never happened before."
"You've never managed to stop Freya from shifting on a full moon before either," Scott said pointedly.
I patted his shoulder, "she's fine, she's just-" I stopped mid sentence as I heard a loud crash, and then laughter. I shut my locker and followed the noise, I turned the corner and Freya was on the floor surrounded by the cleaning products. "Freya!"
"Hey Lissa," she laughed. She sat up and shook her head, "That was funny, please tell me someone got that on camera."
"Freya how much sleep did you have?" I asked pulling her up the floor.
She yawned, "I don't know." She shrugged and walked over to Scott, I groaned I was in hell today.
