Hey guys, sorry for the long wait, busy studying for exams. So here's another chapter, sorry it's moving slow, don't worry, good stuff is coming. As always, reviews are appreciated, and I own nothing of Orphan Black!
"Hey Scott!" Cosima Niehaus waved at her friend, running up to meet him. Scott frowned at her.
"Hey Cosima. Hey, do you have a sister here this year?" Cosima looked confused.
"Scott, my sisters are 12 and 15. Not college ready just yet."
"Sorry, I just… there was this girl and I swear she looked just like you, minus the glasses and dreads and nose ring, and she had some pretty dark makeup and…" Scott rambled on, not noticing Cosima shaking her head.
"Dude, must be my doppelganger. Who knows, maybe I'll have a class with her. Now come on, we're late for immunology." She said, starting to push through the crowd.
"Cosima, you're always late." Scott laughed. Cosima smirked.
"Yeah, but first day and all, I figured I should try to keep my lateness under ten minutes." She said, gesturing emphatically with her hands as they rushed to class.
"So… maybe we're twin sisters?" Alison suggested somewhat awkwardly. Her and Beth were sitting on Beth's bed, both now fully clothed thankfully. Beth shrugged.
"I mean we're both adopted so it's possible. Random though, right? The fact that we'd both end up here." Beth said, looking at Alison. Alison nodded, then looked way, feeling uncomfortable. "So, um, what are you here for?" Beth continued, wanting to ease the tension in the room.
"Kinesiology." Alison said, looking affronted when Beth snorted. "For your information, Kinesiology is a very helpful and useful skill-"
"Alright, alright calm down Ali. Just not used to hearing someone majoring in it." Beth said, putting her hands up. Alison's eyebrows raised. No one had ever called her Ali before, but she liked the way it came out of Beth's lips. "I mean I still don't know what I want to do yet. I'm only here because of my track scholarship."
Alison smiled. "Well, maybe you could go to the Olympics!"
Beth chuckled lowly. "Nah, I don't think so. I'm actually thinking about going into the police academy." She smirked at Alison's sudden look of shock. "What, scared of guns?"
"I wouldn't know, I've never been around them. I was told they were unsafe to have in the house and-" Beth cut her off.
"Alright, well that's a load of bullshit. Firing a gun is something every woman should know how to do in today's world." Beth smiled. "Tell you what. I'll take you to the shooting range. Sisterly bonding time?" Ali smiled softly, nodding. She couldn't help but notice how nice Beth's smile was. Soft, and reassuring.
