Chapter Two - The Twins
While I am sitting in my French class, Mr. Baguette shows us a video on how to say the French alphabet. Now, you may think that's not bad, right? Well, it was one of those really cringy - preschooler level ones, and it had a REALLY annoying tune and singer that just.... Uuuuuuuuggggghhhhh... So we had to listen to it over and over and over again, just so we could be better at pronouncing it. Then our teacher decided to teach us how to spell out words.
"Okay, class. Spell out party." (Oooooh party on da yacht..... - inside joke) Mr. Baguette spells it out on the board and takes careful dance moves to incorporate each letter.
"P" He does a leap and twirls at the end, with a flourish and jazz hands.
"A" He rolls around on the floor and does exaggerated ballet stretches.
"R" He sniffs his iPad (like Anna and Elsa sniffing chocolate in Frozen - you know that whole sniiiiiiiiiiiffffffff thing) and pretends to faint gracefully to the floor.
"T" He pretends to be flying like Peter Pan and runs around the room.
"Y" He hee-haws and shoves goldfish (crackers) into his face, stuffing his mouth and making the rest fall all over the floor. Then he does jazz hands again, with an added 'High C' note.
"Okay class, now it's your turn!" He motions us all to get up. "Just follow me!" He starts doing the dance again, and Pearl and I follow with a grimace and exaggerated slowness. By the time class is over, pretty much all our peers are dead. Not literally, just emotionally. No one can survive being put through that. The bell rings, and I am on my way to Geometry.
"Good morning class!" Ms. Shellfire announces. "Today we have a new student joining us! His name is Grayson Seascape, and he is transferring to us from New Jersey." (Yes Christina, I HAD to) "Please make him feel welcome and at home here at school. Sapphire," she turns to face me, "you will be showing Mr. Seascape around and take him to all your classes with you so he can get the hang of how this school works." I nod and smile. A whole new friend! Woooo! "Mr. Seascape, please take your seat to the right of Ms. Sapphire." Grayson takes his seat, and sets his backpack down. "Now then, Grayson, please tell us a little about yourself." Grayson looks scared at first, but I give him a warm smile and he cheers up a bit.
"Well, I have a twin brother named Ethan......" He starts.
"No way! Sapphire has a twin too!" Max yells from across the room.
"You do?" Grayson asks me, obviously intrigued.
"Yeah. Her name is Pearl." I tell him, and he nods.
"Mr. Seascape PLEASE continue." Ms. Shellfire says, annoyed that Max had interrupted.
"Well, I love to swim, and go long boarding. I also love to read and.... Well, I guess just hang out with Ethan." He finishes, and the class claps for him.
"On to lesson 1.4 , The Congruency of Cones. Here, we have a cone....." I take notes, as the teacher explains and gives examples. Grayson does the same, while also sneaking glances at me. Yeah, I notice it, but I'm not going to say anything when I'm taking very important notes. The teacher doesn't repeat anything, so I have to get as much as I can at once. When she is done teaching us all about The Congruency Of Cones she gives us our homework. "Pages 18-20, problems 1 through 45, along with problems 47, 56, and 72. We have some time in class left, so you can get a start in your homework until the bell rings, and ask me any questions you may have." She then starts typing up something random on her laptop, and I open my book. I can do the homework later since it's not that much and finish my book. When you're an avid reader like me, homework can wait until you get home. The book is more important. Grayson turns to me.
"So I take it you love to read then?" He asks, nodding towards my book.
"Yeah." I say, and then go back to reading. (Hey! I was at a good part.....) Grayson take out a book too and starts to read too. Eventually, the bell rings, and I pack up my things. The Grayson follows me as I make my way to lunch.
"So now you're going to lunch too?" I ask, giving him a half-smile.
"Yeah, if that's okay with you." He says back.
"Yeah, it's fine, plus you can meet Pearl! She has lunch with me, as well as my best friend Tamora." He smiles and nods, and we reach my locker. I open it (obviously not showing him my code) and put all my morning notebooks and homework into it, and then rearrange it in color order. Then I grab my lunch, slam my locker shut (well, not slamming it, because that would be mean...), and I lead him to the cafeteria.
As I approach the table that Pearl and Tamora usually sit at, I see a guy sitting across from Pearl.
"Hey! Ethan!" Grayson half-yells, and runs over to the table.
"Hey Pearl!" I say, and sit next to her, across from Grayson.
"Who's this?" Ethan asks, giving me a smile.
"This is my twin sister Sapphire, who is apparently is a 'mentor' as well." Pearl replies, and Ethan looks awestruck.
"Well, this is my twin brother Grayson." Ethan says.
"I guess they decided to pair the twins up with twins." I say, laughing at the same time.
"Yeah." Grayson says, and then starts going through his backpack. Pulling out a lunchbox, he opens it and begins to eat a BLT,while Ethan pulls out a ham and cheese sandwich. I do the same, pulling out a salad, while Pearl also pulls out a salad. *Salad Twins* Then Tamora comes up behind us and sits down next to Pearl.
"Hey girls!"
"Hey Tamora!"
"Ummmm.... Girls, who are the guys?" She asks tilting her head in confusion.
"This is Grayson and this is Ethan" I say, pointing to each of them at a time.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Tamora." She replies, smiling. "Are you two twins?" She inquires, clearly noticing they resemble each other a little.
"Yeah, but we're not identical." Grayson replies. Then he looks over at me. "Nice salad."
"Ummm... Thanks..." I say, not really sure how to respond.
"No problem." We all continue eating. When I am finished eating, I throw out my trash, and go on School of Dragons. Coming around the table, Grayson looks at what I am doing.
"NO. WAY. I love that game so much!" He says in awe.
"You play it too?" I ask, since I've never met anyone else other than Pearl and Tamora that actually play it.
"Yeah, it's so awesome! Hey, friend me!" He says, and gives me his friend code. I send him a friend request, and he immediately accepts. Then I head teleport to him, and we begin a fishing contest.
"You are SO going down!" I say, and begin. Whoever catches the most fish and has the most points wins. Pearl talks to Ethan about where she is going next, and what the classes are, while Tamora is reading a fanfiction about Jerome and Flit - A/N Check out my other book, The Magic Between Them, to learn more about what happens with Jerome and Flit! - and is sighing a lot. Maybe she just wishes that she was Flit. I don't know. (Christina, you gave me PERMISSION...... :P ) Three minutes are up, and we count up our points.
"Okay, well I got thirteen fish, with a total of 452." Grayson says, looking smug. I give him a smirk.
"Oh, well, I got a total of seventeen fish, worth 476 points." I say, and he groans.
"Well, I guess you win..." He says, taking another bite of his sandwich. Next to Pearl, Tamora sighs, probably wishing that she had her own Jerome. (You gave me permissioooonnnnnn....) Pearl and Ethan finish discussing their classes, and they turn to look at us.
"So, Sapphire, you're talking Grayson to all your classes too, right?" Pearl asks me, winking. Ummm.... Not sure what that wink was about.....
"Yeah, why?" I ask, because I'm not quite sure what she's hinting at.
"No reeeeeaaaaaaaasoooooonnnnnnn..." She says, drawing it out. (*said in the accents and same way*)
"Okay then." I say, and then I turn to Ethan. "So you're his twin? That's cool."
"I guess, but it can be a pain sometime. I would explain it, but you already know what it's like." He explains, giving Pearl a wink. Ooooohhhhh a wink.... I wonder where this will lead... I am pulled way from my thinking when the bell rings, so I pack up my iPad and lunchbox, make sure that Grayson is following me, and I head to my next class.
"Hello Sapphire! Read any new books since yesterday?" Mrs. Yachtfire asks.
"Hello Mrs. Yachtfire! Since we last talked I have read seven new books, and I am so glad tat I finally found something new to read." I reply.
"And who is this young man?" She asks, turning toward Grayson.
"This is Grayson. He's new here, and I'm showing him around." I answer, and Grayson nods.
"Well, then, Grayson, welcome to my class." Mrs. Yachtfire says, and smiles, then she walks away and helps a student pick up their supplies and binders that they had dropped in awe of seeing Grayson in real life. I head to my seat and Grayson once again sits to the right of me. Then a guy sits in front of me, and gets ready for class.
"Yeah." He said, looking at me with a weird expression. I ignored him, and began flipping through a book. "Hey, how do you write on an iPad?" He asks. Wow, really man? You clearly aren't using a school issued iPad, and clearly know what to do considering the games you were playing earlier... Do you really think I'm that dumb?
"You tap on the screen and start writing." I say, and flip through my book again. The guy stares at me and makes his eyebrows go up and down, like he's hinting at something. Grayson quietly snickers next to me, but doesn't do anything. You know what..... Just ignore him, just ignore him. He'll have to turn away eventually...... Ok this is really getting on my nerves. He's just STARING AT ME, while he's lounging across the better part of my desk. So much for writing.... Then he stops doing the eyebrow thing and just stares at me. The teacher starts the lesson, and he turns away. Phew! Oh no.... Don't turn around again.... DON'T TURN AROUND AGAIN..... He turned around again. Grayson politely turns his laugh into a cough and pretends to be rifling through his notebook while sneaking glances over at the guy.
"Can I borrow your ruler?" The guy asks, because he "can't" do his notes otherwise...
"Sure" I sigh, and hand it over to him. His notes turn out badly, so he goes up to the board and takes a picture with his "dysfunctional" iPad. While he's away, I steal my ruler back, and thankfully he doesn't see me. Then he sits back down and continues his notes without the ruler. - ok readers. Let's get this straight. Without the ruler. - See, I knew he didn't need the ruler for his notes.... *A/N yes, sadly this all happened only a few minutes ago, and I am pretty much dead from that. The only thing that is even worse then what I wrote is that he tried to do it in a "low and manly" voice. :( Whyyyyyyyy* The teacher starts explaining how to write the essay we are going to start on, and the guy finally turns away. (Lindsay and Sarah, you know who that is.) Thank goodness.
I begin to fill out my notes chart and circle what topic I'd like to do from the list. Next to me, Grayson copies me, and just so happens to choose the same topic as me. Woooo! Writing buddies! Just kidding. There's no way we'd work together on it, since that could possibly be cheating. The bell rings, and the guy turns back around.
"Hey. I'll see you tomorrow." The guy says, doing the eyebrow thing again. Grayson snorts and begins backing up while silently laughing. I try to back away too, but the guy is just STARING at me again! Whhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.... I finish putting away and organizing my things, and basically run out of the classroom with Grayson right behind me. When the class is out of sight and I KNOW the guy isn't following us, I start to walk. As we head up the stairs, Grayson has a huge smirk on his face, and he turns to me to say something.
"Don't even try." I say warningly, only partly joking. Hey, I knew he was going to comment about what happened with the guy..... Grayson laughs seeing the expression on my face - disgust - and then we finally make it to my Medical Terminology class. Leah, another friend, is waiting for me there.
"Hey Sapphire!" She says. "Who's this?"
"Hi. I'm Grayson." He says, and they shake hands. Yes, we are so lame and formal. The teacher finally reaches the classroom (she is always late from eating lunch so we usually wait a few minutes in the hall for her to come) and we all go in and sit in our seats. Ohhhh whoops.... Grayson doesn't have a seat.... I tug a seat over to the tables next to me, and we all wait for the class to start.
"Good afternoon class! Oh I see we have one of our new transfer students here!" Ms. Lewave says, and everyone turns to look at Grayson.
"Hi. I'm Grayson." He says, and the class resumes. We start our projects about the history of medical discoveries, and pretty soon our class goes by quickly. Before I know it, class is over and it's time to go to my AP class.
"Okay Grayson, next I have AP World History. You want to come?" I ask before I leave without him.
"Don't I HAVE to come with you no matter what?" He asks, snickering.
"Yeah, but I thought I'd be nice and ASK first..." I say, and then we leave. While we are walking down the hallway, Tamora, Pearl, and Ethan catch up with us.
"Another class with Ethan?" Grayson waits for an answer.
"Yup." I say, and Tamora laughs.
"WOOOOOOOO!" Ethan yells, clearly excited to have another period with his twin. By then we have reached the class, and we all sit down in a giant rectangle-ish shape. That is, Pearl and I in front, Grayson and Ethan on either side of us (left to right - Grayson, me, Pearl, Ethan) with Tamora sitting behind Pearl. Mr. Heartattack (Vicky and Christina you know the inside joke) tries to begin class but begins to freak out.
"OH NO. NOT AGAIN. NOT MORE TWINS! I HAVE A HARD TIME TELLING YOU TWO APART -" he motions to Pearl and I "- AND NOW I HAVE MORE TWINS!?!?!?" He stares at Grayson and Ethan, trying to tell them apart. "Ummmm.... Ethan?" He asks, pointing to Grayson.
"Nope. I'm Grayson."
"Oh great....." Mr. Heartattack sighs. "Okay everyone, turn in your notecards...." He sighs, and sits down in his chair. We all get up to turn them in, including Grayson and Ethan.
"WHAT. You just came here! You're not supposed to have them done already!" Mr. Heartattack exclaims. Us twins just grin at each other, along with Tamora snickering beside us. Then we resume our seats and simultaneously all pull our book and start reading.
"This class is so freaky......" Mr. Heartattack sighs. Since he is so freaked out, we spend the whole class reading with no homework or lessons, and him just staring at us, trying to figure out which twin is which. The bell rings, and Pearl and I begin to head to Orchesis.
"Oh no. You're not in dance too, are you?" I ask with a smirk.
"Yeah. We are." Ethan says, snickering.
"So I legit have all my classes with you guys?" I ask, feigning a swoon. (Insert Emily swooning and Catherine sighing about ALEX HERAAAAAAZY.....)
"Yeah....." They sigh, and we head into the locker room to change. (NOT THE SAME LOCKER ROOM, LINDSEY, CHRISTINA, AND STEPHANIE)
Two by two, we head up to the dance room and sit in our assigned rows, in which Ethan and Grayson happen to be right in front of us. The class begins, and the day is over.
