Ring!! Ring!!

'Hallelujah!! Lunch time!!' I though as I excited the classroom, Esmeralda and Alenora right behind me.

As we got to the lunchroom, I was at the line already choosing in my mind what I wanted. I decided on a chicken salad with extra cucumbers, my favorite, with apple juice, and a chocolate bar. I know, all healthy up to the chocolate bar.

After picking or meals, I sat down with Ale in front of me and Esmeralda beside me.

"So girls, I am guessing you are fraternal twins, since you don't look alike." Esmeralda said while we nodded.

"What about your parents?" She asked, making me tilt my head to the side.

"What about them?" I asked her, eating a cucumber.

"I just want to know what they are like." Esmeralda said with a smile. I feel like I am being interrogated, but I guess she is just curious.

"Well, our dad is a doctor while mom is a lawyer. Mom has black hair and hazel eyes while Dad also has black hair, but emerald green eyes." Ale answered her question, and Esmeralda  nodded.

"Isn't kind of wired that you don't look like your parents?" She asked yet another question, putting her elbow in the table, resting her cheek on her hand.

"Yeah, I guess, but our parents wouldn't lie to us, I think." Ale said while I drank my apple juice silently.

"I mean, it's like you were adopted or something." She said, my already concerned self growing even more self conscious. I adjust my hoodie so it covered more my face.

"Yeah. What about your parents?" Ale asked, changing the subject, in which startled her.

"Uh, I live with some family friends." She answered nervously.

What is up with her? One second she is all ears about our family and the next she is self conscious, too.

"Oh cool. What are their names?" Ale asked while I continued to eat my salad in silence.

"They aren't important. So, I heard a rumor about something." She said quickly, making me look at her as she tried desperately to change the subject about her parents.

"You need to be more specific, there a lot of rumors in this school." I finally speak up, breaking eye contact.

"Something about Cupids." She said, almost making me choke on my food.

"That is just a rumor. Cupids don't actually exist. I mean, if they did, I would know two of them." Ale retorted, making Esmeralda's eyes widen.

"Really? How so?" She said while Ale shrugged.

"We are going to tell you a secret, but you can't tell anyone."-Ale said while she nodded.-"We are the supposed Cupids."

Now, cue the gigantic surprised face. Esmeralda even got pale. I thought she was going to faint.

"We aren't really Cupids or anything. But we are really good at matchmaking. It's like our hobby." I said quickly, trying to get her back.

"Can you guys give me a sec? I have to go to the bathroom." She said and stood up quickly. I saw her figure leave while I looked at Ale who had a smile.

"Do you think that she actually believed it?" I asked while she nodded.

"I think she did. It's just rumors. Plus, we aren't some kind of immortals, supernatural beings." She replied, making me laugh, but boy were we wrong.

Who would have thought we actually were?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Miss Baker, are you alright? You have been spaced out." One of the teachers said to Esme who was totally spaced out again.

"Of course. I am sorry." She apologized while the teacher turned around and continued her class.

"Esme, are you alright?" I whispered to her.

"Esme?" She asked, confused.

"Your name is long, I thought I could a nickname. Is it okay?" I asked shyly again.

"Yeah, it's okay. I am fine. I just had a call from friends that shocked me, but I am okay." She shrugged me off and I nodded.

After the bell rang, we went to our lockers who were all next to each other.

"Well, look who is here. The tomboy and little miss shy." I heard Saturn say with laughter coming after her words.

"Venus?" Esme murmured under her breath, but everyone heard her. Saturn turned to her surprised, but it quickly left.

"Look, they have a new friend. Someone else to beat up." She said and signaled Nick. He smirked and went directly towards Esme.

"Watch out!!" We both screamed to Esme but she seemed calm...

How could she be so calm?

"I suggest you don't do this or your going to end up hurt." She whispered again, but he just laughed.

"What can a little girl do?" He mockingly asked her.

Suddenly, Nick went straight to the floor. She had kick his feet, making him fall to the marbled floor. He stood and threw a punch in which she dodged. She kicked his stomach, making him fall again.

"Want more?" She mocked, smirking and he shook his head no.

"You are useless, Nick." Saturn whined like the little kid she is making, Ale and me laugh under our breath.

"By the way, I am not as little as you think." Esme whispered in Nick's ear,  but I heard it.

"Let's go." Esme ordered, taking our hands. I was still shocked that she did all that.

"What the heck just happened?" Ale asked while she turned around.

"I used to take karate when I was small." She said, but somehow I knew she was lying.

But why would she lie?

"Blake! We need to go. Bye, Esme. See you tomorrow." Ale took my hand and pulled my frozen body.

What the heck just had happen?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was silent in the table as we all ate.

"So girls, I heard you made a new friend?" Mom said, making me think instantly of how weird Esme acts.

"Yeah, her name is Esmeralda, but Esme for short." I said.

"You should invite her to dinner sometime." Dad suggested and Mom nodded.

After dinner, Ale and I went to our room.

"You know something is up with Esme, right?" Ale said.

"What do you mean?" I asked, changing into some pjs. We had already taken a bath when we got home from school.

"You spaced out. When you space out, it's when you are thinking." She stated.

"Yeah. When she said the karate thing, I couldn't help but feel she was like lying.  Also, it's like I knew her from somewhere. Like I had seen her and heard that voice before. Also she called Saturn, Venus." I rambled, walking side to side.

"I will have to agree with you in that, sis. There is defending something she isn't telling us and we have to find out. Tomorrow we have school, so we should get some sleep." Ale suggested while I nodded getting on my bed.

"Night, Ale."

"Night, B."

Was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep still thinking about Esme.
