Twins Will Be Twins

"Whoa!" Archie and Atlanta gasped, balancing themselves on each other. A couple of people screamed and toppled over, Neil squealed as he knocked into a chair and the others who didn't fall wobbled dangerously around.

"Talk about an entrance," Theresa muttered, accepting Jay's hand and got up from the floor, dusting her jeans. "The whole school trembled."

"No kidding," Odie nodded, picking up his glasses which had fallen onto the ground. He then returned his gaze to the front door.

Smoke filled into the front hall and several people coughed as it wafted around them. Seven dissembled figures were clearly visible, walking into the hallway.

Persephone turned to Artemis. "We'd better notify Hera that they came." Artemis nodded and with a smile to the 7 teenagers, the two left the hallway. The team returned their gaze to the door again when the smoke started to disperse slowly. However, the bodies were still well covered up.

The seven shadows sharpened as they drew closer. Then they sort of paused there, hovering in the smoke. Finally, the middle figure nodded and stepped out of the gas.

Plunk! Odie's glasses fell from his stunned face and onto the ground again. The six other teenagers were also astonished as all of the figures began to step out of the smoke as it evaporated.

The middle teenager had long brown hair pulled to a ponytail with streaks of golden brown here and there. He was tall, freckled and wore an orange sweater with brown jeans. But the thing that caught the team was that this guy's face and body shape looked like a twin of Jay. And it didn't stop here.

"Are these guys for real?" Theresa whispered to Atlanta. She only shrugged.

"Stick your finger in their throats and see if they barf?" She suggested, casting a wary glance at the teenager.

The second to come out of the smoke was a beautiful 16-year old Cantonese teenager with extremely long wavy black hair and glasses. She wore a blue tank top and denim jeans. Her face and body shape matched Theresa's perfectly.

Third was a kid with an extremely broad chest and short brown hair and tanned skin. He also had a small splatter of freckles and was snub-nosed. His shirt was black with a white logo on the front and his grey baggy shorts hung just below two huge kneecaps. This guy resembled Herry the most.

Fourth out was a black skinned boy with long dark braided hair brought into a pony-tail. He was short, wore thick rectangular glasses and had a small mouth. His top was green and his pants were brown. His figure was Odie-ish.

Next that came out was another girl. Judging by her size, she seemed to be the youngest of them all and had so many piercings on her ears. Her short blond hair hung just above her ears and she seemed to be chewing on a wad of gum (which wasn't allowed in school). Her wristband was exactly like Atlanta and Neil's, her tank top was blank white and her camouflage baggy pants brought out a sense of bad-girl style. This girl, as you may have guessed, resembled Atlanta.

Sixth was a tall, lanky teenager with long blue hair and a small nose. His grey hoodie hung over his green shorts and on his feet were brown sandals. He had his hands shoved in his pockets to show that he wasn't somebody you would want to tolerate with. This guy resembled (him, I wonder) Archie 100 perfectly.

Last of all was another Chinese teenager. He seemed to be the oldest of them all and had his eyes practically glued to an absurdly expensive crystal pocket mirror. His handsome coffee-cream skinned body was accompanied with a high priced purple silk t-shirt, costly brown leather pants with a shiny black buckle and top of the line red sneakers. He and Neil seemed like two peas in a pot.

Whispers filled the hallways as the seven crossed it. Some faces looked awed, some looked scornful, almost all of the girls looked lustful but none looked surprised like Jay and the others. "This… is unbelievable." Herry commented, staring at his "twin".

"No kidding," Archie shot stunned glances at the guys most resembled as him.

"What do you think we should do?" Odie asked, keeping his voice low so no eavesdropping could be made possible.

Theresa shrugged and started at the Asian image of her. "Ok listen, this is really suspicious but let's just pretend we don't notice anything yet."

"Oh gee, that's going to be pretty hard." Atlanta pointed out with Archie nodding vigorously.

Light footsteps echoed the hall as Hera suddenly appeared, smiling warmly. Everybody silenced at once. "Hello, welcome to Olympus High," She started. "I'm your principal of this school and I hope you'll have a pleasant time here. If you would just follow me to my office, I'll tell you all about this school. Everyone else," Hera suddenly addressed the other students. "Please carry on, Remember, class starts in 30 minutes."

Atlanta whistled softly. "Meeting alert?" She asked Jay.

"You can count on it." He nodded.

In the school grounds, right after group stood underneath a huge shady tree, Neil suddenly burst out. "This isn't right, how is there somebody who can match my own handsome looks?"

"Shut up, Neil," Archie groaned. "You're not the only person concerned here, you know."

"This is really weird," Odie remarked, scratching his head and adjusting his glasses. "Nobody in the world that's not related to somebody else should have the exact same body figure as somebody else. That's totally against the genetic laws. And also, even if that were possible, it's too much of a coincidence for all of us to have duplicates. I wonder what the Gods and Goddesses are playing at."

"Well, they can't be that stupid," Theresa added thoughtfully. "Ok, well, maybe Hades but he's not helping with the running of this school. He's still down there somewhere. Anyways, they must have noticed the striking resemblance between us and those new students."

Archie suddenly noticed that Jay wasn't taking much of the conversation going on. "Hey Jay," He called out, going over and punching him lightly on the shoulder.

The brown haired boy snapped his head up. "What's up Archie?"

"You're quiet," Archie said, frowning in concern. "Too quiet, what's on your mind?"

"Oh, that," Jay leaned on the tree's massive trunk and sighed. "Well, I was thinking about what Odie said and I came to the conclusion that, um, maybe these guys are somehow, er, related to, well, you know-"

He didn't have to continue because at that precise moment, Neil exploded again. "What! I'm NOT going to have a rival competing with my looks and I'm going to make sure of it." He harrumphed, shot them his famous snobby look and ruffled his hair, causing it to stand up.

"But how are you going to stop your, er, 'rival' from beating you?" Atlanta asked, interested. She looked at him with raised eyebrows. Neil wasn't the type to come up with excellent plans and she knew it.

Neil smiled with superiority. "That is," Here he paused for a dramatic effect. "do something about it!"

Thunk! "It's this 'something' that I'm asking you, stupid!" Atlanta cried, frustrated. Apparently, she had punched him on the head hard and caused him to fall onto the grass. Neil winced and grumbled, rubbing his head now stuffed with twigs and leaves ("Geez, why don't any of you watch the hair?").

Sniggering, Archie patted Atlanta on the back. "Nicely done!" He grinned. The others giggled as well.

Bring! "That's the warning bell," Theresa checked her watch. "We've got five minutes. I'll see you at class." She quickly jogged back to the school building.

A whooshing noise greeted Theresa's ears and a redhead whizzed by. "No, I'll see YOU at class."

Herry sighed as he and the others caught up with Theresa. "Why does she have to make everything a competition?" He complained, staring after Atlanta.

Please R&R, everybody! Thank you!
