It is Saturday evening. I have been working on my car for an hour making sure everything will work properly for my first race in a new environment. This will be my first real race since waking up from my coma. I started drifting off into the thoughts of the past until I was brought back by my phone ringing.
"Hey, sis just the person I wanted to talk to!"
"Obviously dumbass. You wouldn't have called if you didn't want to talk."
"Right. So I was just informed that you are racing tonight. Have anything you want to tell me?"
"Oh right! I met this one guy yesterday who got me a race tonight. You should come. I mean we are kind of a duo after all."
"Obviously I am going to come. You wouldn't even be X.B. without me."
"Yeah yeah. I'll send you the address. Bright blue shoes. Love you bro."
"Love you too Xeph."
After that the call ended. I went to get a shower because I had grease all over me from my car. After my shower, I changed into Black skinny jeans, a black crop top, my leather jacket, and my bright blue hightops. Whenever my brother and I go out racing or to the underground, we match shoes. We don't know why we do it. We've been matching shoes since we were little kids. Our parents liked to make us wear matching outfits. People would see and think we were twins. The only difference between us was our eyes. He has these green eyes that are weirdly unnatural, but they couldn't be any more real.
It is around 10:30 when I bound down the steps. I was about to walk out the door before my dad stopped me.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"To a friend's house," I replied but it sounded like a question.
"Xephor we moved so you could get away from that stuff. Do you think I'm stupid? I know you have been working on your car almost all day today. If you really are going to a friend's house then I'm sorry for assuming, but if you are doing what I think you are doing then be safe. Please."
"I'll be back tomorrow morning dad."
After saying this I walk out the door and get in my car. I punched the address into my phone and set out on the road.
I have everyone's attention as soon as I pull into the vicinity of where the races take place. I park my car and see Sami outside my door. He opens the door for me and I get out.
As soon as I am out that is when the whispers start. I brush all of the whispers off my shoulder. Most of them were stuff like "Who is she?" "She's lucky to have a guy like that." "Are those the Twilight Siblings?"
Everywhere we go at least one person thinks we are dating because of how close we are, but most thought we were twins. I couldn't tell you where the name "Midnight Siblings" came from. Someone randomly said it when we walked into the underground and all of a sudden everyone started calling us that. I guess you could say we are well known.
"Well I will be damned. I knew when you said X.B. it sounded familiar," Jordan says while walking up to us.
"This is Sami," I say while punching his shoulder.
"I figured that much. Your race starts soon. You are going against Clark. He is well known here and rarely loses. Nice outfit by the way." Jordan lets out a chuckle while looking back between my brother and I.
I didn't understand what was so funny until I followed Jordan's gaze. My brother is wearing matching shoes to mine, black ripped jeans, a belt to match the shoes, and a black shirt with holes in it.
