Okay, so yes...it is been called to my attention that boys and girls can't be identical twins. Just goes to show you how intelligent I am! Well, I apologize for the stupidity...lets just pretend in this story that they can, though. Thanks!
The rest of the day (after my quest for milk) I explored the town. I wanted Carter to come with me, but he refused.
"No way," He said, shaking his head. Carter hated new places along with meeting new places. Just part of that whole "anti-social" nonsense.
"Okay, if you're sure." I had said reluctantly.
So, anyways, the town itself was pretty small...and also very boring. I went in a diner and ate a hamburger. It was okay, I guess. The most exciting thing that happened to me all day was an old man in the booth behind me fall asleep. I guess he thought Castle Rock was boring, too.
So, after my amazingly boring day, I came home to my unfamiliar house. David opened the door before I could knock.
"This place sucks." He greeted gloomily.
"I know." I nodded, just as depressed as him.
"You know...I only saw a few hot girls here today. That's it." David said. He looked upset at the prospect of not being surrounded by beautiful women.
"I'm sorry," I said, shrugging. I went up to my room and tried to unpack. I didn't get far, though. The sound of voices coming from Carter's room (the room next to mine) distracted me. There were three voices. Two of them I had never heard before.
'Who is that?' I thought, concerned. I pulled myself away from the exciting duty of putting away shirts and walked over to Carter's doorway. There were two boys in his room, sitting around with him.
"Carter?" I asked, confused.
"Oh! Hey, Jane. Um...Jane, this is Gordie and Chris. Chris, Gordie, this is my twin Jane."
I shot him an inquisitive look.
"Oh, Gordie lives next door. His mama sent him and Chris over with a pie to welcome us. So, you know, I let them in. They're cool." Carter explained.
So much for being anti-social.
"Oh. That's cool, I guess." There was an awkward silence while we all tried to think of something interesting to say. I took this moment to study the two boys.
They looked about me and Carter's age. Gordie was tall and skinny with brown hair and large doe eyes. Chris was a tad bit shorter, with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. I noticed a large bruise on his arm.
"Okay...well, I'd better go," I said finally. I left the room and went back into my bedroom. I seriously needed to finish unpacking.
