Sadistic

Her eyes scanned the rows of books that lined the shelves perfectly, her brother stood on the other side of the book shelf peering through to see his younger twin sister admiring the books quietly as she hummed to herself and continued to put the books in their proper place. This was the Huntsman twin's life when they weren't in school, they would work together at the small book store on the corner of South and Maine before they would split on their own paths at night and spend time apart in their own rooms.

"Bekah?" Robert watched his sister's eyes flutter up from the book she held in her perfectly nail filed hands and up towards his eyes as she raises an eyebrow "Yes, Robby?" She asks as she stopped her humming and momentarily stopped putting books away.

"Customer. And if I remember correctly it is your turn." He informed her as he nodded towards the young man who stood at the counter patiently "Then you get to put these away." Bekah turned on her heel as her brother shared the same smile as her.

Her footsteps made it towards the counter as she looked up into the dark coffee brown eyes of the young man who was waiting "Welcome to The Book Shoppe. How can I help ya?" Bekah and her twin Robert had a slight twang to their voice, it was almost a perfect southern accent- but not quite.

"Hey, okay I am looking for this big book of poems for my mom. I hate poems so I know nothing about where they would be." He spoke as he let out a light chuckle and Bekah smiled "Follow me, lucky for you I work here so I know a little bit about where they will be." Bekah led the young man down the many rows of books until she hit the poem section.

"Here's our best poem book. It's filled with chapters and chapters of poems." Bekah handed him the book and he smiled "You're a life saver, I've already been to one too many book stores today." He admitted and she gave him a light hearted giggle catching his attention as he adored the light and quiet giggle "My names Devon, we're new to town- Me and my mom." He introduced himself quickly as he held onto the big book of poems.

"Names Bekah, that's my twin Robert. If you ever need any help getting around let us know." The beautiful girl with the medium length brown hair walked him to the register where she proceeded to cash him out for the book "Do you guys attend Lincoln Ville High?" The boy asks as his brown eyes searched her lighter ones for an answer "We do. Are you Devon Clarkson?" Bekah's mind jogged as she remembered her brother had to give a new student with the name of 'Devon Clarkson' a tour of the school.

"Um.. Yeah. How did you know?" His curiosity peaked as she had guessed his name with ease.

"My brother is giving you the tour of school tomorrow, maybe I will help." Bekah handed him his change back and the book making Devon nod before turning around and walking out of the store.

"Becks, come here for a second! I need your help!" Robert called out from the back towards his sister as he had known she had finished with the customer who he would become friends with quite soon "What do you need?" His sister entered the section of books he was in and he pointed to the shelf at the top "We don't put books up there in case the customers can't reach them, but this new shipment we got makes it so we have to. Should we? Or should we just put them somewhere else?" He asks making his twin look at the shelf curiously.

"Let's put those off until Mr. Sanchez gets back into town so we can run it by him." Bekah nods with her answer showing she was confident with it.
