Chapter 2
Mall
Normal Pov
'When the boys arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes. Khris must have had the same reaction as me about the Porsche, because the boys just looked at us with smirks on there faces' thought Rachel. 'I got over it quickly because I just went to the other side of the Porsche, opened up the back door, and got in, leaving a totally shocked Khris.'
"Take a picture, it'll last longer," said Kai "now get in before I leave you behind.
Khristene quickly got in, not liking the thought about being left alone while her twin sister went to do an assignment with boys, especially two that look like they could be players. But, she's a smart kid; she probably came to that assumption long before she did.
***********************************************************
During the Drive
"Shouldn't one of you call your parents and tell them where you're going?" Asked Tala.
"It's parent, and what time do you think we should be back by." Replied Khris.
Tala looked at Kai before replying. "Between 7 or 8 maybe. Did one die or are they just divorced." Asked Tala out of curiosity.
"Perfect, we can have dinner while we're there." Khristene looked at Rachel before answering. "They got a divorce when mum was pregnant with us; he's dead to Rachel though, even though she's the only one who really sees him. He didn't like having four kids that he never got to see, so he tried his best to get shared custody of us. They only agreed to it with Rachel. They thought it was unfair of having two kids you hadn't actually ever met, so they agreed for him to get the older twin for a few days each month."
"I'm sorry, was he a bad person" spoke Kai with concern in his voice.
Rachel stopped looking out the window and looked at the seat in front of her –which is the seat Kai is sitting on- as if had ten heads.
Khristene saw this and decided to interrupt and change the subject. "I don't really know him to know that, so I will just be calling my mum now."
'So, the new girls have family issues too. And it looks like the subject struck a nerve in Rachel. She and Kai seem to be alike in some ways' thought Tala to himself.
"Hi mum, Rach and I are not coming home for dinner okay. Love you too. Bye." Said Khristene hanging up the phone.
"You didn't have to ask for permission?" Asked Tala.
"No, Rachel has no curfew because she can take care of herself, and I am as long as I'm with Rachel."
"Hey Khristene?" asked Tala.
"Yeah?"
"Can I you a question?"
"Sure, what about?"
"Rachel."
'Not what I thought he would ask about.' Thought Rachel 'what does he want to know about me?'
"What about Rachel?"
"Does she ever talk? Is she shy or something, because she hasn't spoken today?"
"Rachel does talk, she's not shy, I don't think she's even been embarrassed before and she has spoken today."
"I haven't seen her speak."
"Not surprising, she tends to not speak around people she doesn't know. Besides, she finds it easier to just ignore people, than have to deal with players like you. The only person who isn't Alvss, Tayla or I at this school that has heard her speak is the secretary, and that was only to get Alvss and me out of trouble for fighting."
"So, you're saying the only person who has heard her speak, who didn't already know her is the school secretary." Asked Tala.
"Yep," replied Khristene.
"Not quite," cut in Kai.
"What," Khristene said in unison with Tala.
"She spoke to me right after family management." Answered a smug Kai.
"Rach, is this true, did you really open your mouth and let words come out?" Asked a surprised beyond belief Khristene.
Rachel nodded.
"So you and Rachel actually had a normal conversation. Like how was your holiday, are you liking this town so far, are you liking the weather." Asked a surprised Tala.
"Along the lines of that."
"I highly doubt that. You probably annoyed her, so she yelled at you." Said Khristene.
"How do you do that? As identical twins, can you like read each others minds," Asked Kai.
"No, not really. I made a highly educated guess."
"How educated?" Kai asked.
"Very, you see over everything I'm about to tell you, it helps that I'm her sister. Firstly, the smug look on Rachel's face almost looks like she's laughing at you. Secondly, Rachel has the willpower to give anybody the silent treatment, including Alvss. And thirdly, Rachel has a gigantic anger issue, but by the lack of injuries you have, I take it you only got her angry enough to yell at you."
"What do you mean she can give anybody the silent treatment? And what do you mean including Alvss?" Tala asked.
"Well, you see, Rachel is very good at getting her way, which includes getting anything she wants I might add, so giving anybody the silent treatment is an easy task for Rachel. And you see, Alvss is very good at extracting information out of her." Stated Khristene all matter-of-factly.
"So, big bro knows how to get info out of Rachel, info nobody else would be able to get out of her, so theoretically he knows all her secrets," asked Tala just trying to make conversation.
"No, if it's a secret, she will simply ignore the question, doesn't matter who's asking" Said Khris.
"So, why'd you guys move here? Asked Kai.
"That's our secret" Khristene said while smirking.
"Why's it a secret?" he replied.
"It's not, I was just messing with you, we moved here because it was easier for my mums business."
"What's your mums business?" Asked Tala.
"Now that's none of your business, is it now?" Asked Khristene.
"Now stop messing with us and tell us," he replied getting angry.
"Who's messing, that really is none of your business." Replied a smug Khris.
"Tell us," said Tala.
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
This went on for the rest of the trip to the mall.
***********************************************************
Once at the mall, after Kai parked they all got out of the car. Tala and Khristene were still fighting.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"How about I take red here and get started, and you take Khristene and do the same and we will meet up in the food court?" Kai asked Rachel.
Rachel nodded.
"But blue, the girls don't know there way around, they're new here."
But Rachel by that time had already looped arms with Khristene and skipped into the mall.
"Those girls are weird beyond belief," said Tala.
Kai just nodded.
***********************************************************
With the girls
"Hey Rach?" Khris asked.
"Yah?" Rachel replied.
"As much as I would hate to admit it, Tala was right. We don't have a clue where we're going. We have never been here before."
Rachel stopped skipping and turned around to look at Khristene. "Sis, where are we?"
"The mall."
"And what are at malls?"
"Shops."
"And?"
"I don't know. People?"
"No maps you twit."
"Oh."
"And besides, if we get lost, you have me here to help you find your way." With that said Rachel put her arm around her sisters' shoulder and led her further into the mall.
"But Rach, two years ago you got lost walking around our village, our very small village I might add, after living there for ten years." Answered a concerned Khristene.
"Well that was then, and this is now. I'm usually very good with navigating." Answered Rachel.
"You suck at navigating. Navigating is what your worse at."
"I know, just don't tell anyone, especially those boys, because I think we could have some fun with it," said Rachelly smugly.
"My sister, always been most popular where ever she goes since she was 12. Always has had all boys eyes on her and despite what anyone has ever said. She is a prankster not a player."
The sisters walked somewhere laughing.
***********************************************************
With the Boys
"Those girls are weird," Tala said while Kai nodded. "Well, they're both hot so that makes up for the weirdness, and at least it will keep things interesting."
"Sorry to break it to you dude, I don't think any of those two would go out with you."
"Well, why not?" Tala asked.
"Well you could look like Brad Pitt and those two still won't go out with you because they don't want anything to do with players. Besides, they might have boyfriends. Sorry player."
"I don't need your pity!" Tala said very dramatically.
"Sure you don't."
"No I don't, anyway what makes you think they have boyfriends?"
"Oh nothing, two pretty girls like that who get a lot of attention from guys are always single."
"Well we're two hot guys and we're still single."
"That's different, we're players. And dude, guys don't call each other hot you fag."
"I'M NOT GAY!" Screamed Tala which caused some people to look at them oddly.
"Maybe not, but your PMSing."
"I am not!" Yelled Tala. "Ah Kai, what the fuck are you doing?"
"Sending everybody in the phone book on my phone a text message saying you're a fag."
"Don't you dare!"
"Too late."
"You son of a BITCH!"
"Stop yelling you PMSing fag."
"I'll yell if I want too!"
Ring, ring.
"Stop yelling Tala and pick up your phone."
"Fine, hello. Tala's phone, I'm here but I can't talk right know because I'm too busy killing Kai."
"Yo Tala. Don't kill Kai. By the way it's Ray. Congrats on coming out of the closet. Please do stop hitting on girls now just to keep your popular status. Especially Mariah. In other words: stop hitting on my girlfriend. Oh, and don't hit on me either. I mean, I know I'm irresistible, but I'm not gay."
"Ray, I've got three words for you: I'm not gay!"
"Whatever man, I've gotta go, I'm kinda busy. See ya mate. Bye."
"Right bye." Tala said turning around to Kai who was trying desperately not to laugh while slowly trying to make his escape. "And you, I can't believe you sent a text to all of our friends saying I'm gay. I'm not gay for fucks sake." Screamed Tala.
"You brought it upon yourself by calling me hot." Kai tried defending himself.
"When I get my hands on you, I'm gonna" Tala started but was cut of by Kai.
"You're gonna what? Rape me? Seduce me?" Kai said between laughs.
Then Tala made a move towards Kai and started to chase him around the mall.
***********************************************************
With the Girls
"So how we gonna start this thing?" Khristene asked Rachel.
"You know what, I don't have a clue, and we don't have a chance in hell of doing our part if you don't know how to start and since I don't know what we're meant to be doing, it's all on you."
"What do you mean you don't know what we're meant to be doing?"
"I wasn't paying attention that class." Rachel confessed.
"Oh great, thanks for dumping the workload on me sis."
"Your welcome."
"Hello, it's your phone in your pocket, I'm on vibrate brrrr." Said Rachel's message tone.
"Ah Rach, what are you doing? Khristene asked Rachel.
"My phone's going off. I've got a message from a Tayla Tate and a Jay O'Bryan." Answered Rachel.
"Oh, what do they say?"
"Rachel, where r u? I wanted to see if you guys wanted to hit the mall with me today! Luv u always, Tayla." Rachel read the message aloud, then sent one back saying "me and Khris are at the mall already doing an assignment with the boys."
"Oh really?" Tayla sent back.
"Well no but we're meant to be. C-ya when we get home k."
"Try to be a good girl and get some work done. C-ya then. Bye."
"So, what does Jamie's message say?"
"Hey Rach, welcome to planet Twixty. Guess what, someone just told me Tala's gay." Rachel read out to Khristene.
They both cracked up laughing.
Rachel sent Jamie a message back saying "do you happen to know his mobile number?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I just want to have a little fun."

It's a cliffy (sorta)
If anybody actually reads this story sorry it took me so long to upload. I'm in year 9 so I have lots of homework, tests and assignments. My room is also getting painted Bright orange and dark purple which looks nice so my room is scattered throughout the whole house and I can't find a thing. Even in the holidays I'm busy. I have an ag assignment due next term, holiday homework which sucks and a social life to keep. I'm going to Luna park 2morrow with some friends, doing the harbour bridge walk next week with my friend holly and an annoying 17 year old brother to deal with who's obsessed with throwing a stuffed cat at me when I'm actually doing something.
Anyway please read and review.
