The Nerdy Twin ✔️

Chapter Five

WILLOW'S POV

I was woken up by a thudding on my bedroom door but it wasn't clear because I was in Charlie's room. When we got home from the Arcade and our impromptu picnic at the park, sneaky Charlie has talked me into playing fortnite with him. We ended up passing out on his bed as I didn't have the energy to make it to mine.

I was about to get out of bed and go see who was waking us up so early when the knock transferred to Charlie's bedroom door. My angry looking mother burst into the room before I could even invite her in. Her eyes zeroed on me shooting daggers as if she could bore a hole through me.

"Why aren't you sleeping in your room?"She screeched hands on her waist.

I wasn't going to give her an explanation so I just have her a blank stare in reply. She hadn't bothered with us for two days so why would I care explaining myself to her.

"Don't you dare ignore me young lady?"She scolded.

I rolled my eyes at her wondering why she picking a fight with me so early in the morning. I was grateful that Charlie was a heavy sleeper otherwise he would wake up all cranky from his interrupted sleep.

"Why are you here so early?"I asked looking at the alarm to see that it was nine am.

"It's already mid morning. Get your ass out of bed, we have guests coming over for lunch."She demanded.

"We haven't even had breakfast yet and you're already making lunch plans?"I asked shocked.

"It's not my fault you two are lazy. Now make sure you dress decently and cover up your tattoos. I don't want you embarrassing me to our guests."She continued.

"We're not attending your pompous lunch with some pretentious family you're trying to impress."I declared rebelliously.

My mom's eyes narrowed to a slit as she glared at me. She hated it when I defied her which I did a lot. I got my way most of the time but with her stance and heavy breathing, I knew I was going to loose this round.

"Yes you will young lady. Don't make me ask you again or I will make your life in this house hell. You will not embarrass me."She yelled.

Charlie stirred and I knew it would take one more screaming match to wake him. I held myself back knowing I had to pick and choose my battles. It was just one simple lunch anyway of playing the perfect family. How bad could it be?

"Fine we'll be there."I mumbled.

She grinned like a Cheshire cat happy to have gotten her way before turning on her heel and walking out of the room. I fell back on the bed already feeling drained from that interaction with her.

Charlie stirred again and his eye's fluttered open a few seconds later.

"Why are you up bud? It's still early."I whispered.

"I heard yelling in my dream."He mumbled.

I was not going to tell him that it had been real. He already knew his mom was a monster, no need to emphasize that point.

"Why don't you get a few more minutes of sleep while I go get us something to eat for breakfast. What do you want?"I asked feeling myself crave some waffles.

"Waffles."He replied.

"Just read my mind kid. Get some sleep, I'll be back with waffles soon."I said kissing his forehead.

I went to the bathroom first to pee and brush my teeth before going to the kitchen to get us breakfast. There were a few maids in there already preparing lunch. They ignored me and I them so we all kept out of each others way as I did my thing. My mom had probably already incited them against me from the disgusted looks they were giving me but I didn't care. They were insignificant in my life anyway and their opinion didn't matter.
