This is the very beginning of what I hope to turn into a book. |
âYou sure you want to wear that to school?â I asked Selene. Her top was bright pink, and way too tight, skirt was a micro mini, and her boots, well letâs just say Iâve seen more than a few pair on women, in movies, who were âprofessionals.â She turned sideways and looked at herself in the mirror, her long blonde hair fell past her shoulders and cascaded down her back. She definitely appreciated her reflection. She looked at me, blue eyes squinted. âOf course I do, Melanie, you donât get a second first impressionâ she sneered back. âI guess youâre right, I mean who wouldnât want a first impression that said âOoooo sheâs a slut!â Oh, thatâs right. ME!â I rolled my eyes at her, just because I knew she hated it. âYouâre just.. Just⌠I donât even know what you are, but you are.â She wasnât great with comebacks. âYouâre right, I am.â I know it sounds mean, but we really do love each other. Itâs just deep down that we do, way, way deep down. Selene and I are twins. Weâre identical apart from style and personality. We were both in the bathroom getting ready for the first day of our sophomore year in highschool. In my opinion my outfit was much better, jeans that fit just right (which means of course that my butt looked amazing) and a light purple tee, that hung close but didnât try to force my boobs out the top like Seleneâs did. I looked at my reflection with approval. I was thin, but not too thin, and my hair was shorter, it fell just to my shoulders. I did one last touch of mascara and turned and headed out of the bathroom, flipping the light off as I left. âHey!â Youâre right, I did that just because she hates that too. âOh, sorry!â I mocked. I hit the light switch again so she could finish doing whatever it was she was doing. I ran down the stairs to get some breakfast. Our little brother Mikey was already raiding the cabinets for his favorite cereal. âHey booger, whatâs for breakfast?â âLucky Chawms. You should know that by now.â Poor kid, still has a speech thing. Today is his first day of first grade. Heâs 6. Selene and I are 15. I am convinced he was an accident, but my Mom says otherwise. âOh thatâs right. Can I get some Charms too?â He poured me a bowl, only spilling about 15 charms onto the table. âDonât wowwy, Iâll get those!â And he started eating them right off the table like a puppy. I patted his head and said âgood boy.â He laughed. âYou know Mel, you look exactly like me but donât have guys after you. How do you do it?â Selene made her grand entrance how she always does, tripping on the last step and an insult coming out of her mouth. âSelene, honey, do you really think you are dressed appropriately for school? I think your teachers may say something. At least go put on a longer skirt.â Thatâs mom, sheâs so understanding of our âfreedom to express ourselvesâ as she calls it. âYeah Sel, at least one that covers your aâŚâ âMel.â Thatâs all mom has to say. She knows I wonât finish that sentence in front of Mikey. âUgh, you are so unfair Mom! I donât see why anyone should be able to tell me what I can and canât wear anyways!â and with that, she stomped off. |
