Ghost of You
Chapter One: Promises and Mornings
Two girls around the age of 10 laid in the grassy meadow over the local park. One was lying on her side, head propped up on her hand, toying with the tall stem of flower in front of her.
"Reynna? Can I ask you something," she called out to her best friend. Reynna stopped staring at clouds to turn to her auburn haired friend, who she adored so much. She was the only person, besides her brother that actually had her respect. Reynna would never listen to anyone that she found unable to keep her respect.
"What is it, Ganaru?"
Ganaru sat up and motioned for her silver haired friend to do the same. " Rey, would you still be my friend in the future? I mean, if we were separated and found each other again, would we still be friends," Ganaru asked, nervous of the thought of being without her best friend.
Reynna looked thoughtful, her icy blue eyes stared at her brown eyed friend .Was her friend who she thought highly of leaving? Ganaru was like the sister she never had. " Of course I would. You're like my sister, a sister whose bond is greater than blood. I never will think of you as a stranger," she spoke with a flawless accuracy, wise beyond her years.
"What does that mean? I'm not a dictionary, Rey," Ganaru laughed. Her friend was never one to studder or stumble over her words. Unlike her friend, Ganaru was better at mathematics and geography. Never has she been one to like books.
"Sorry, Naru. What I'm saying is that even though we're not related by blood, you feel like a sister to me. We are so close, we might as well be connected at the waist!"
The girls laughed. Reynna even lifted her shirt to see her stomach, checking for any signs of being attached to her 'sister'.
After they settled down Reynna spoke again. "Naru if I do something bad, something horrible beyond belief, an unforgivable act of evil, would you stand by me and not think me horrid, would you still be my sister," anxiousness leaking through her voice.
"No," Ganaru said. Reynna flinched. "I would be your partner, and twin."
Reynna smiled genuinely, hugging her twin. "Rey," Ganaru started, pulling away from the hug. "Whatever happens…would you still be my twin and never leave me?"
"Yes, I promise."
"Me too."
5 Years Later…
Apartment #28B
7:25p.m
Beep,beep,beep
Two identical black digital alarm clocks went off at the same exact time in two different rooms in the same apartment.
Beep,beep,beep
The clocks went off again as a girl lazily sat up from her bed. She sat there dumbly, scratching her auburn hair until she stretched out her arms and walked towards her closet. She grabbed a pair of dark denim jeans and a long sleeved white shirt. She walked to her dresser and pulled out her bra and undies. Placing all her clothes on her unmade bed, she walked out the room and into the bathroom for a quick shower.
Beep,beep,beep
The alarm sounded again as a girl shot up in a sitting position before she fell of the bed. She tried to get up of the hard wood floor, but in her haste got the sheets tangled around her legs. She kicked herself free before she stood up and got out a pair of baggy black pants and a long sleeved white shirt with a red tee with 'Guess what KID spelled backwards is' written over the front on top of the other shirt. She walked to her chair and pulled off the studded belt off the arm and threw it on the bed before grabbing her underwear and changing into the outfit she picked out.
As she walked out of her bedroom the other girl walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. "Ganaru, I'm going to make cereal, want some?"
"Yeah, make some coffee ,too," Ganaru replied as she closed the door to her room. "Coa-coa Pebbles please!"
The other girl laughed. "Sure. Hurry up, We're gunna be late," she called out before walking into the kitchen to 'make' cereal.
Ganaru walked out of her room with a black tee over her white shirt to find the other girl fixing her black bangs. "Reynna, why did you dye your bangs black when your hair is silver? Why didn't you dye the rest black too," she asked her roommate.
Reynna smirked. " I want people to wonder which color is real. It's funny when they stare," she added absently as she fixed her belt to hang off her hips sideways, making the belt the only thing keeping her pants up.
"Whatever," Ganaru mumbled, both girls eating quickly.
Stuffing up their Discmans and iPods in their schoolbags they grabbed their keys and slipped on their shoes and ran out the front door.
After a few minutes the sound of two dirt bikes being revved up and speeding away was heard. What the girls didn't know was that they left the door open, lights on, and bowls of a half-eaten breakfast on the table.
Beep,beep,beep
