Chapter 2
First Day
The next day, on a bright sunny morning, Mina's phone goes off as an alarm since they didn't buy an alarm clock since they got here. Mina sleepily searches for her phone until she finds it and turns it off with a beep. The older twin sits up and looks down at her younger, who is snoring a little bit.
"Usagi-chan," she says. "It's time to get up. It's our first day of school."
No response.
"Usagi-chan!" Mina says, a bit louder this time. "Wake up or we're going to be late!"
Again, no response. Mina sighs heavily as she feared this would happen on a school day. Usagi is always a heavy sleeper, so that's why she's always about 15 minutes late or so. Living in the same room with Usagi is even worse than before. However, there's one good part about it . . .
Womp!
"WAAAAAH! AAAHH!" Usagi screams as she bolts upward while frantically looking around until she notices her older sister holding up her pillow.
"Oh, so you're finally awake," Mina says while having an evil smirk on her face.
Usagi pouts her lips as she rubs her face. "Uu! Don't do that! I was having a good dream!"
"Well, stop dreaming and start running!"
"Wh-what do you mean by that?"
Mina gives an evil smile and playfully hits her younger twin with the pillow, chases her into the bathroom and closes the door.
"Justice is done!" Mina holds up a V for "victory" while winking at the direction from the bathroom door.
At the train station, the Aino twins stand near the tracks with hands intertwined. The station is crowded at this time of day, possibly because of some of them are going to work or there are other students going to school. Usagi looks around as she clings closer to her older twin. Mina blushes at this as she wonders why she's doing this, but bothers not to ask right now since there's some people around them. When the train arrives, the twins get inside after a bunch of people quickly enter. Once the doors close, the smooth train ride begins. However, Mina notices Usagi still clinging onto her older sister with an adorable smile planted on her face. Seeing this makes Mina smile as well and touches shoulders with her younger sister, knowing that both of them are there for each other.
When the train stops at their destination, the twins exit and walk along the path towards their school. Looking around them, they see other girls walking past them with the same uniform as them, talking amongst themselves. The twins look at each other and smile, feeling really good about themselves as they enter the school.
After a few brief minutes while sitting next to each other, the bell rings and each student rush to their seats as the teacher walks in. As she introduces herself, she orders the students to introduce themselves row by row, just so that the other girls could learn their names. A few minutes have gone by until it's the Aino twin's turn. Mina stands up and clears her throat.
"Hello, my name is Minako Aino," she says while bowing. "Pleased to meet you."
The class applauds. Usagi is next, so she stands up cheerfully and waves.
"Hi, everybody!" she says, rather loudly. "I'm Usagi Aino, Mina-chan's twin sister! Nice to meet you!"
Mina already feels like crawling in a hole as she blushes from embarrassment. The class applauds anyways, only a little quieter than before. Once the introductions finish, for the rest of the period, it's all about explaining the school rules and such and Usagi almost falling asleep during that course, in which Mina had to shake her awake.
When lunch arrives, Usagi meets Mina by the cafeteria and suggests that they should find a quiet place to eat since the lunch room is so crowded. So, they head for the courtyard and sit on a bench to eat. But before doing that, Usagi turns to her big sister, who is barely eating anything at the moment.
"So, how are you feeling on your first day?" she asks.
"It's . . . fine. Although, you better learn to keep your mouth shut at certain times," Mina scolds.
"What do you mean?" Usagi asks innocently.
**Flashback**
"So, are you two really twins?" one of their classmates asked.
"Yes," Mina answered. "Although, we're . . . kind of different from each other."
"That's right!" Usagi jumps in while wrapping an arm around her older twin. "We are different from each other! Like how Mina-chan often wears cute clothing and-"
"Shhhhhhh!" Mina immediately covered her younger twin's mouth to shut her up. "Do you really have to blurt them out!?"
After removing her hand from Usagi's mouth, the pig-tailed girl said, "Why not? I'm just answering their question."
"Mina-san likes to be cute?" one girl asked.
"Yes! She even looks at herself-"
"Usagi-chan!"
"What? I'm just telling them the facts."
"Y-you don't have to tell them everything!" Mina said.
**End of Flashback**
"I don't think it's that bad," Usagi says, picking up a chunk of rice with her chopsticks.
"W-well, it does to me," Mina says while opening her bento. "So, learn to respect other's privacy, okay?"
"Fine." Usagi eyes Mina's shrimp and snatches it from her bento with her chopsticks.
"Hey!" Mina cries.
Usagi giggles as she waves the shrimp at her older twin's face. "Oh, wook who's got Mina-chan's widdle shrimp?"
"Ah! Whatever!" Mina shakes her head and looks down at her food, but not before eyeing Usagi's strip of chicken breast, so she snatches that as payback.
"Mina-chan!"
"Hehe! I got you back, you little stinker!"
Usagi then smiles in satisfaction. "That was impressive."
Mina flips her hair. "I can at least teach you a lesson once in a while."
After all that, the two feed each other their stolen food and eat the rest of lunch.
When it's time for dismissal, the twins gather their things and head towards their dorm. It was a bit boring day, having to go over class rules, handed over syllabuses and such, but overall, the two enjoyed each other's company and nothing can change that. By the time they get to their dorm, the first thing Mina does is plop herself onto the bottom bunk.
"What a day!" she sighs heavily.
"Are you tired already?" Usagi asks.
"Yes . . . from boredom!"
The younger twin giggles. "I felt the same way! At least, I got to pass some time."
"From sleeping the whole darn period," Mina finishes while smirking.
"Hey! I was just . . . resting my eyes, that's all!"
"Think of a better excuse that even I can believe," Mina sighs as she turns away.
Suddenly, Mina as been caught off guard by Usagi scooting over next to her, practically touching her shoulder, which causes the older twin to blush.
"But best of all," Usagi whispers. "I had a fun time being with you." She intertwines Mina's hand as she rests her head on her shoulder.
"Me too," Mina whispers back, squeezing Usagi's hand gently. "I had fun with you myself."
There is silence as the two nuzzle each other's noses while happily giggling until dusk showed and the two crawl into bed to get some good night's sleep.
A/N: Been a while, I know. But here's another chapter of "My Beautiful Twin." And I apologize if this was short. Introduction can be quite boring sometimes. But, next chapter will be better. Feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to review. ;)
