Conflicted twins

 Lilly and Levi were walking to school one Monday morning.

          [Lilly’s POV] “uuuugghh, I hate school.”, I said to my twin brother Levi. “Yeah..” Levi replied, as we continued to walk to school. Once we had arrived to school, we walked over to our lockers, We had most of our classes together, our teachers must’ve thought it would be interesting since we are twins. We walked up to our lockers, and began to open them. We hadn’t talked much, we just got our stuff in silence. It was quiet as we got our supplies, until the popular kids walked up to us. Janeace, the most popular female in the school said, “Levi, why don’t you come with us and have a...talk.” Levi being the way he was said, “Oh, sure..” I watched them walk away in shock, I blinked and went back to grabbing my stuff. I wonder what they’re talking about, it could be nothing good.

          [Levi’s POV] I followed them down the hall, until we were outside. “What do you want from me?”I said as I crossed my arms. Janeace pulled me by the collar of my shirt, “I said we just wanted to talk.” She let go and took a step back. They all surrounded me. I stood still, not knowing if I should try to make a break for it or not. Janeace stepped forward, “You and your twin..” I stifled a laugh, this was because of my twin sister? I wonder what she did this time. One of the boys stepped forward as if to warn me. Jeneace continued, “We don’t like how close you two are, and we plan to change it.” I raised my eyebrows, slightly confused, “What do you mean?” Jeneace rose her voice, “SILENCE, I AM TALKING.” she shook her head and went back to what she was saying, “Look, you do as we say and we won’t hurt her.” I was shocked, this escalated quickly. Now I have to obey them?! “Whatever you, you have to agree. You also can’t tell anyone about anything we’re doing or about this moment.” I crossed my arms, “Ok, so can I go now?” Whatever they must’ve had planned must not be that bad. They all stepped away, no longer surrounding me. I walked to class.

         I walked into class, I was ten minutes late. The teacher looked up at me and asked, “Why are you late?” I replied, “I was helping a kid to the nurse” “Very well, take a seat.”, the teacher said and went back to typing away on her computer. I sat beside Lilly, she raised an eyebrow and tilted her head at me. I shook my head and started my classwork. 

         [Lilly’s POV]The bell rang for lunch, I walked over to my locker and dropped off my stuff.  At lunch Levi studied in the library and I went to the cafeteria with some of my friends. I was still confused, Levi refused to tell me what happened earlier that day. I sat at my table, my friends followed suit and sat down too. As I pulled out my lunch Bella, one of my friends said, “Have you heard the rumors, I can’t believe it!” I stopped eating, “What rumors?” I said, highly confused. Bella explained, “Levi was talking behind your back about how annoying you are!” I gasped, “He would never-” My other friend, Cleo interrupted, “Oh but he did.” I looked at my friends in disbelief and stormed off. I needed to get to the bottom of this. I walked into the library and found my brother, reading a book about math. I stomped my way over there and said in a loud whisper voice, “ARE THE RUMORS TRUE?!” He looked up at me, not saying anything. I crossed my arms, “Are they?!” He packed up his stuff and walked off. He was very bad at lies so whenever a situation came up like this, he would just walk away. Since he walked away, it must be true. I cannot believe him!

          [Levi’s POV] I can’t just tell her, I wouldn’t want to risk her getting hurt. Guess I just have to let her get mad at me. Hopefully she’ll see the truth soon.
