Beep Beep Beep "Ughhhh" I groaned, struggling to hit snooze. I closed my eyes. I heard my door creak open. I looked up.

"Eris, you better be getting up!That is your eighth time hitting snooze!"

My mom screeched, closing the door. I lazily got up, walking to my closet. I opened the door, scanning the closet. My eyes landed on my favorite shirt.

"Ahh! There you are!" I exclaimed.

Throwing on the red shirt. I picked up the athletic shorts off the ground. Didn't I wear these yesterday? And the day before? Ahh they'll be fine. Socks. Socks. Socks. Socks! I picked up the white socks. I ran to the bathroom. I brushed my hair into a ponytail and put my favorite headband on. It read 'Run'. I raced down the hallway and downstairs. I skidded to a stop and walked into the kitchen. "Oh, look. Eris is up." My dad said, glancing up from his newspaper. "It's a miracle." My mom said sarcastically. "Haha. Very funny." I rolled my eyes. I grabbed a granola bar. I picked up my backpack and keys. "Bye!" I announced, walking out the door. I looked at the red truck in the driveway. Mine. I got it for my 16th birthday. Of course Erin got one too. I thought, looking at the red convertible. I hopped in my truck. Setting my backpack down. I plugged in my phone and decided to play my favorite song.

Primadonna Girl, yeah.

All I ever wanted was the world.

I can't help that I need it all.

The Primadonna life, the rise and fall

I sang. I was actually an okay singer. My dad was in a band. The lead singer.

    I unplugged my phone as I pulled in to the school parking lot. I found a spot and walked into school. My best friend, Tate, pulled me over to her locker. "Oh my god. Your brother looks so hot today!" She exclaimed. I started walking. "Of course. He is the hottest guy in school." She tilted her head, studying me. "Sometimes, I wonder how your twins." I fake gasped and hit her playfully. We smiled and suddenly someone bumped into me. "Oh, Sorry!" I said, looking up. "Erin?" "Hi Eris." I looked around him. He was with his ex-girlfriend, Annalise,and  his best friend, Dawson. I've had a crush on Dawson since, like the eighth grade. I walked away. I heard Annalise ask, "Who was that?" To which Erin quickly replied,"A family friend." Oh, did I forget? No one, except Tate, knew we were siblings. It kinda sucked. But I guess it was for the better.

    We were complete opposites. Except for the sports thing, we only played two of the same sports though. I did four and so did he. I did, track, softball, soccer, and dance. Some people don't count dance as a sport, but I do. So basically I don't have a social life because of them. I barely have time for homework! Basically, after school, I go to soccer. That goes till 4:30. Then at 4:45 I go to dance which goes till 7:45. Then it's softball 8-9. It's not track season right now, thankfully. But, some days I only have dance.

    The five minute bell rang. Tate and I started walking. We both had english. We walked in to the class and sat down. The bell soon rang. "Okay, class. I have noticed you guys have been getting a little chatty lately. So today, I'm assigning you new seats." He cleared his throat and started pointing to seats. "Okay, Dawson, you go right their, next to you will be Eris, and next to  her, Erin. He continued on with names until everyone had a new seat. Tate ended up right in front of me. Mr.Young continued with the lesson.

"Hey." Erin whispered to me. "Do you get the homework?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Of course. I can help you when we get home." He eyed me.

"I don't know if you remember, but no one knows we are related, and I plan to keep it that way." I rolled my eyes.

"Eris? Do you have something to say?" Mr.Young asked.

"Um, oh, no." I heard people chuckling. Thank god it was Friday.

"Thats good. Can you answer the question?"

"Oh yeah! Napoleon was a french military leader!" I exclaimed. I was glad I was smart enough to already know that.

Dawson leaned towards me. "Were you hitting on my best friend?" He smirked.

"Eh, gag me. I would rather drink a gallon of salt water." I rolled my eyes.

"The odd thing is, you actually sound serious. I mean its obvious you like him. Every girl does." He stated, like it was a normal thing everyone should know.

"Trust me, I don't." I said, as the bell rang.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Yes! Its the weekend!" Tate exclaimed, coming to my car.

"Okay, we need to go to Target. I mean, we need snacks for the sleepover!" I exclaimed.

"Yes!" She smiled. My phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID. Why was Erin calling?

"Hey, Erin? What do you want?"

"Can't I just call my sister to tell her how much I love her?"

"No, no you can't."

"Okay, you're right. I need you to stay in your room all night. Dawson is sleeping over."

"No! Tate is staying over tonight. Reschedule."

"No. Fine, we can both have a sleepover. I guess it won't be the end of the world if Dawson figures out." He mumbled.

"Oh, okay. Bye." I said, hanging up.

"Well, Dawson is coming over."

Tate's eyes widened knowingly.

"Thats cool. We will have so much fun." She giggled.

"Tate Marie Jade! Nothing is going to happen." I rolled my eyes.

"Ooo, you used my middle name. I'm so scared." She laughed.

"Lets go get some candy." I said, driving out of the parking lot.

-----------------------------------------------------

I walked into the door. Dawson was sitting at the kitchen table.

"Um, Erin! Two strange girls just walked into the front door." Erin ran out the door.

"Wait, Eris? Like the girl who sits next to me in history." He asked.

"Um, Dawson. This is my sister, Eris." He looked at me and then at Erin.

"Wait, you two are related?" We nodded. "WHY HAVE YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT HER? HOW HAVE I NEVER NOTICED HER?" He yelled. I cringed.

"I'm sorry, just don't tell the whole school." He held a grudge for about 30 minutes. Then he said the bad news.

"I was calling Collin when you told me. And he might tell the whole school." My eyes widened.
