Liz's POV:
There's nothing like waking up at 6:30 in the morning to Katy Perry. I stretch, singing along. "Are you ready for, ready for." Kim sings, suddenly bursting through our bathroom's door. "A perfect storm, perfect storm!" We both giggle as I hit the 'Alarm Off' button. "What are you wearing today?" She asks, like she did every morning to avoid dressing like me. We had always hated dressing alike, since no one could tell us apart. After all, we truly are identical. Neither one of us has any extra moles or freckles or birth marks, and we both have the same waist-long golden hair, caramel-colored eyes, Sun-kissed skin, and the same hourglass figure.
"I was thinking I'd wear my light purple tank top, white shorts and a white denim vest." Kim nods in approval. "Could I borrow your yellow shorts?" I take them out of my closet and throw them at her playfully. "And your turquoise halter top?" I take that out as well and throw it at her. "Can't a twin have anything of her own?" I smile to let her know I'm joking. After all, I borrow her stuff all the time. "No!" Kim says in a weird cartoon character voice. I laugh as I take off my closet and get in our shower. After a half hour of drying off, getting dressed and hair curling, both of us were ready.
"Good morning, girls." Jennifer Crawford, our mom, said. "Do you need a ride to school?" Since our school is pretty far from our house and I don't feel like walking, I say yes. "Well, I have to get to work in about a half hour, so we need to leave immediately." That's just how my mom is. She's serious and reserved. And always talks like she's giving a speech. As we walk out the door, Kim and I say "I call the front seat!" In unison. "You take it, Kim."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. It's the least I could do for the best sister in the world." Kim smiles and hugs me then jumps in the front. I love sitting up front, but I would lose an arm for my sister. As we approached Seaford High, I saw Jack waiting for us near a big dog wood tree like he always does. "Thanks mom!" Kim says, jumping out of the front. I follow after her and Jack walks over to us. "Hey!" Kim says. "Where's Milton and Jerry?" Jack was about to answer when his phone let out a beep. "Oh that's Jerry. He just picked Milton up and he'll be here in a few minutes. "It must be nice being sixteen and being able to drive." I say dreamily. "Yeah, but you guys are getting your licenses next week right?" I was about to answer when I see a red Honda with a license place that said 'WOOOOOO' Once the car was parked, A black-haired Latino and a skinny ginger came out. "Hello Jack, hello Liz, hello Kim." Milton states. "What it do, girls?" Jerry says flirtatiously. "What's with the flirting?" He looked confused for a second then caught on. "Sorry, force of habit." Kim and I exchange glances, and I knew exactly what she was thinking. We both took our book bags and swung them, hitting Jerry. His high-pitched scream pierced the morning air, and was also the cause of our laughter, except for Jerry, of course. The five-minute warning bell rang out, almost as loud as Jerry's scream. "Well, I better stop by my locker." Kim says, slinging he book bag over her shoulder and walking towards the school's main building. "Walk with me to my locker?" Jack asked. I nod and send him and grateful and flirty smile. "What's up with that?" He asked, knowing that something was different with me today. "Well, I've been meaning to ask you something." Reaching his locker, he turned the dial on his lock. "And what do you want to tell me?" Opening his locker, he glanced at me, a silent reminder to tell him. "Jack, well, so we've been friends forever, right?" Jack nodded his head. "Well, I want to take it a step further." I say confidently.
Kim's POV
I was walking to catch up with Jack and Liz, when I overheard something. "Well, I want to take a step further." Liz's sweet voice stated. "Liz, well do you think it'll affect our friendship?" Yes, Jack! Say no! But don't break her heart, please... "We won't let it. So, what'cha say?" Jack's arms went around my sister and his lips came to her forehead. "How can I say no to that flawless face?" He asked Liz. Her eyes widened happily, while mine filled with tears. Does that mean he thinks I'm flawless too? I shake my head sadly and walk to my first block. Of course he doesn't. And why should he? Liz is the total package, pretty, smart, funny, she's got it all. And suddenly my pretty, smart and funny twin rushed up to me. "Kim! Guess what!" She was too excited to wait for me to ask what, so she continued. "Jack and I are a thing now!" Although I felt like rocks were in my stomach, I grinned a fake grin. Usually she could see through me when I did that, but she was too happy to notice. She hugged me again and then hurried off to class with Jack, leaving me behind.
During class, I couldn't focus, I was to upset. And my sister finally realized I wasn't happy. She passed me a note.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I can read you like an open book. Now spill. What's the matter?
I ignore and attempt to convert my attention to the teacher. But there was no ignoring my sister for long, because soon the bell rang. "Kim, please tell me. We've always told each other everything and promised to never grow apart. I've kept my promise, so you can too." I was so tempted to tell her then, but I knew she would never look at Jack the same way if I did.
Thx fo readin' ya'll! Okay, enough with the weird talk, I'm creeping myself out. Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas for the story, any of mine, actually, let me know! Anyway, love you all! :D
