-(Cody's POV)-
I couldn't stop staring at her! And not only was it driving ME crazy, I could see it was driving her crazy, too.
What the hell is going on here, I thought.
I finally got my lunch and went to sit down with my twin sister, Lily.
"Hey, Cody," she said, "I'll give ya a cookie for your bag of Doritos."
"Fine," I said, tossing the bag to her. She set a delicious looking cookie on my tray. I took a big bite out of it. 'Hmmmm….thanks, Lily."
"You're welcome," she said, smiling sweetly. "So, you ready for your American Government class?"
"'Bout as ready as I'll ever be," I said around a mouthful of pizza. Today was the beginning of the second semester. So, that meant that there was at least one class that I had to change from. Sadly, the only thing I could get into was American Government.
"So, when are you going to talk to her?" Lily asks, trying to sound nonchalant.
"'Her' who?"
"Oh, please! You know who!"
I sigh. "Never, probably."
"WHAT?"
"Oh, come on! Like I could even be friends with her."
"You could if you'd try," she muttered stubbornly.
"Yea, if I'd try. I don't want to try anything!" I snap back, just as stubbornly.
Come on, she used the telepathy that we have ('cause we're twins, we have telepathy). You guys could be soulmates, ya know.
Soulmates! I scoff. Please! You really believe in that shit?
Language! And yes, I do. There have been TONS of our people finding their soulmates.
"Really?" I say it aloud because A) I'm tired of talking telepathically and B) The bell is about to ring. "I don't believe in that crap. I'll see you later, Lily." I get up and leave.
"Okay. Good luck in American Government!" She says this so happily, I can't help but look back and glare at her. She sticks her tongue out at me.
"Oh, how mature, Lily. Bye"
You'll have to talk to her sometime, she thinks to me. I choose to act like I hadn't heard her and go on to class.
