Chapter 1- Getting Sorted Out:

Mia:

I stared at the papers in shock.
"How did you even-"
"I have resources," Sophia said stiffly. I just dumbly nodded,

"Uh-huh….resources that somehow got us into Ouran Academy? A snobby and rich school?"
"No," Sophia said, "I got one of us into it."
"No way, no how," I protested, "I can't just leave you."

She was unaffected by my yelling,
"You're not. We're both going to go to Ouran Academy."

"But you said-"
"-We're twins," she pointed out, "They will not know which one of us that's coming. They won't even know that there are twins….Understand?"
"If I say yes, will you stop talking to me like I'm an idiot?"
"Mia," she snapped and I winced,
"Sorry Soph. But yeah, I understand."
"Good. Now I have us, pardon one of us on a dancing scholarship."

I listened as she continued to explain- though honestly, it made sense for us to go on a dance scholarship since we couldn't go on anything else. Arts? Even though I can draw, Sohpia can't. Singing? I sing like a dying cow. Filming? We don't have a video camera….I put my head in my hands as Sophia continued to explain farther.

She explained that we would have to take the dance lessons after school. Every week we would switch places and while one was at school, the other would be working some part-time job. Then on the weekends, we would explain to the other one everything that happened during the week and teach what was learned in school.

I was a bit shocked to learn that she put my name down on as the name- which meant she would have to suffer through being me. She put the name down as Mia Amity- an American student that just moved to Japan. Our address was Least we know Japanese.

"…It's going to be a lot of work, but worth it in the end. And remember, we mustn't speak to anyone. If someone could tell that we are acting different each week, it could compromise us."
I saluted,
"Ay-ey Captain."

Sophia:

I looked over at my bubbly twin sister. She was so cheerful and full of life. At times, I was like that as well. I was also the more serious twin for a reason. Either way, Mia was my twin and I loved her. I vowed to protect her from the harsh world so that spark in her eyes wouldn't fizzle out.

It was why Ringmaster mostly hurt me. I wouldn't let him hit Mia- though she wasn't aware that I took most of the hits. She blocked a lot. I knew that she blocked out Mom and Dad's death. I knew that she blocked out seeing the Ringmaster…..abuse me. It hurt too much. Still, I didn't mind that she didn't remember so that spark was still there. She was still full of life. I was a bit scared if she did ever remember that she wouldn't be so full of life.

I, on the other hand, was only cheerful because I had Mia. She was more than a twin sometimes, she was also my other half, my family. She was the only family I had left. I wanted to protect her and I wouldn't fail like I did with our parents.

I had already gotten us a part-time job. Well, I supposed in a way the owner thought he was hiring one of us because he wasn't aware that I had a twin. He also wasn't aware that, like in school, my twin and I would be switching out every week.

"Why are we here," Mia whined as she blew a piece of white hair out of her blue eyes.

"I need to check something," I said crisply as I got onto the computer at the library.

"Check what?"

I typed away at the computer and eventually found the news article from America,
"This."

She looked over my shoulder. On the screen was an American newspaper article.

Circus of Horrors face a horror of their own!

The two girls, Mia and Sophia, known as the Silver Streaks in the circus had been reported missing…

Under that was more information and a picture. The picture showed Mia and I from our last act that was here in Japan. It showed us doing our act. Our very long white hair followed behind our heads. It would've shown our bright blue eyes, but we had our eyes closed in the picture. It showed me on the right side standing on the trapeze swing in my circus outfit. My sister was on the left mimicking my stance. Our circus outfits shined under the dim lights do to the sparkles on it. Personally, I never liked the outfits. It resembled a one-piece swimsuit and was the same shade of blue as our eyes. I didn't like it because it was low-cut in the front and a bit high up in the back.

"Should we be worried," Mia asked concerned. I shook my head,

"I don't think so. It's an American news article so I highly doubt that many people, if anyone at all, would even see it."
Mia nodded,
"So, we're safe?"
"For now."

For the night, we slept in an alleyway. I hoped that we wouldn't have to live in the alley for too long because I knew that my sister deserved better. I wanted the beset for her. It might take a while for us to find a place and save money from the part-time job though. Still, I hoped that everything would work out.

She laid down with her head on my lap and I laid with my back against the wall. I was internally debating whether or not I should stay up and not sleep.

"Sissy," Mia yawned, "we do we start school?"
"Tomorrow," I answered as she shifted, "And you're starting first."
"Me," she complained, "Why?"
"Because you need the education," I said giving her a look and she stuck out her tongue at me.
"Very mature," I rolled my eyes but she didn't answer.

I looked down at her sleeping figure,
"Wow, you fall asleep inhumanly fast."
