Chapter 3: Josephine

September

Jo woke up with her phone ringing. Its 4 am for gods sake! She checked her phone and found out that it was Camilla.

"Hey Cam!" She said groggily. "This better be important or else I'm gonna kick your sorry ass."

"Why are you using american accent?" Camilla whispered.

"Why are you whispering?!" Jo countered but Camilla waved it off.

"The thing is dad is looking for you worldwide. Literally worldwide. He's currently in China so you're pretty safe for now. Oh and by the way, we said you were going to a college in the Philippines." Camilla stated.

"What will I do there?" Jo asked.

"Studying." Camilla said sarcastically then added, "duh!"

Jo can't help but smile. Then something dawned on her.

"Wait, its 10 pm there right?" She continued, not letting her twin answer her question. "How could you still be awake? Mom would freak out."

"First of all, I'm not in UK." Camilla stated. "Second of all, mom and dad agreed to let me go out for a few weeks as long as I brought Brett with me."

"Wait, Brett the duke of..." Jo started.

"Cambridge, yeah." Camilla sighed.

"So where are you?" Just then a knock came to her door. She dragged herself out of the bed and opened the door without removing her phone to her ear.

"What the hell..." Camilla was standing in front of her. She hugs her twin sister and hugged their ummm... family friend.

"Hello your highness, its been a whi..." Brett started but the twins immediately shushed him.

"I'm sorry." They quietly get inside her apartment because Steph was still sleeping for Jo to change. Camilla puts her blonde wig on and Brett changed his clothes to a much simpler shirt and cargo pants.

Jo went out and put on her glasses and hat even though the summer heat is still there at 4:30 am. They decided to have coffee at the starbucks where Jo worked.

"So where are you guys staying?" Jo asked as Brett ordered them some drinks.

"A motel called Karev Inn." With that, Jo laughed and tried to stop but the image of her sister inside a cheap motel is just too funny.

"Hey! I can totally sleep at a motel, besides... I'm laying low remember?" Camilla reasoned but her sister just kept laughing.

"And we got two seperate rooms."

"Okay, okay." Jo stopped laughing, "what name did you use for the check in this time? Lara Croft?" They laughed at the memory.

Camilla and Jo were in Ascot that time and the information desk lady asked them for a name. Camilla said she was with the royal family but since she and Jo was in disguise that time, they still asked her for a name. Camilla thought for a moment and said Lara Croft. They tried to hold back their laughs as the woman unknowingly typed Lara Croft.

After they were given the key, they headed to the elevator and laughed their ass off.

"Oh gosh!" Camilla said holding her stomach. "She had no idea who Lara Croft is."

"And she didn't even asked for an ID."

After a while, Brett sat down with the girls.

"You guys missed each other huh?"

The twins looked at each other and nods.

"Yup! Sure did." They both said at the same time.

Jo entered her apartment again. If Brett hadn't suggested that Camilla should rest after a long flight, they would never have separated.

"Oh hey!" Jo said giving Steph a coffee. The woman gladly accepted and thanked Jo.

"So why are you up so early?" Steph asked as she threw away the coffee cup she just finished.

"I just took a walk, I couldn't sleep last night." Jo tapped her fingers on the island.

"It maybe the excitement." Steph stated and when Jo looked at her confused, she rolled her eyes. "Seriously? You forgot? Today is the first day of classes! Gosh Jo, were you in a coma?" She asked playfully when Jo gave her the what-are-you-talking-about look.

She checked her calendar and yes. It was September 2nd, it seemed like time passed by so fast.

She took a bath again, texted her sister that she had a class in an hour and she can't meet up for breakfast but hopefully for lunch.

Cam quickly responded that its okay and told her good luck.

Her apartment is just a block away from the University of Iowa so she and Steph just walked.

After entering the gate they went to the dean's office to get their class schedule. The dean's assistant gave it to them and instructed them where their first subject is.

Psychology in Washington building near the cafeteria. So they headed there and found the room 115.

The teacher introduced himself as Dr. Joshua Nicholas. He's tall, blond hair and green eyes. He looks about 30 ish and he's got a handsome features that you could almost mistake him as a model. Not a teacher.

Then they started lecturing about psychology and Jo wrote everything down when she was interrupted by a tap on her shoulder.

"Is this seat taken?" The guy asked. 'Oh gosh he looks like Ian Somerhalder except he has brown eyes.' She thought. Staying in america for 3 months with Steph was awesome because they just watch a lot of Vampire Diaries and Surgeon's Anatomy.

She just looked at him and he asked again. "Is this seat taken?"

"Oh, uh, no. Go ahead." She said. The guy held out his hand. "Sean."

"Jo." Jo shook his hand. "This is Steph, my best friend." She introduced.

"Hey." The two shook hands.

"Okay people." Dr. Nicholas shouted to get their attention. "We're going to have an activity. Group yourselves into four."

Steph called Heather out but she already has a group. A tall blonde girl and an african american kid with a buzzcut.

"We're lacking one." Sean stated. Seeing that everyone has a group of their own,

Steph raised her hand and the professor called her out.

"Sir, we're lacking one."

"It's alright Miss Edwards, you can proceed."

"You're freshman too?" Steph asked Sean.

"No actually, I'm already In my final year here but I failed this class last year because my professor was a human sleeping pill, I swear." He explain and they all laughed

"Cool! So you're almost there?" Steph asks and he nods.

"Okay! Let's get started." Dr. Nicholas said and give them instructions on what they have to do.
