Twin Love [Pearce Twins]

Chapter 5

{Amy's POV}

I sighed and sat cross-legged next to my twin on her bed. "Let me see the pics," I commanded and she lifted her screen and showed me the Photoshopped pictures.

"God!" I exclaimed when I saw them. "Good thing I saw these before you posted them all over Insta! This is the crappiest Photoshopping job I've ever seen! Pretty good luck I took that IT summer course..." I said and grabbed the laptop off her. I edited and edited until the photos looked more or less real.

Just like that, I was in on the Fake Boyfriend Scam.

My twin pointed out missed spots and I shouted at her to shut up and let me work. She sat silently, watching me make her love life. I emailed her the pictures and she posted one on Instagram, saving the rest for "later in the relationship".

"Wait, Jess!" I exclaimed. "The others are just going to look at John's Insta, see no photos or mention of you and know it isn't real!" Jess started freaking out too. "Oh-my-god-oh-my-god-im-going-to-be-laughed-at-for-the-rest-of-my-life-oh-my-god!" She fumbled for her phone and quickly deleted the Photoshopped pic before anybody else saw it.

"Well, that's it. So much for being John-freaking-Pearce's girlfriend." My twin dramatically fell back on her bed and sighed. "My love life is never going anywhere, I'll be lonely for the rest of my life. Even a pretend John doesn't want to date me!"

"Hang on a sec, Jess." I said. "The IT course did a whole three-hour lesson on hacking and how to protect our information. In order to teach us that, they had to give us the down-low on how people hack. Meaning I know how to hack an account, I even tested it out when I got ba-" I stopped short, realising I'd said too much.

"Amy..." Jess sat up slowly and crawled toward me menacingly. I gave her a poker face. "Was that you who hacked my Insta and put in my bio 'I'm also obsessed with Jaime Louis (shhhh... don't tell nobody)' so I had to spend the next three weeks explaining to everyone that someone hacked my Instagram?!"

She jumped on me with a mighty howl, slapping me on the arms and laughing as she kneed me in the stomach. Soon I was laughing too, and before long we sat up again. Jess gave me a final punch on the arm. "You bitch," she said with a smile and gave me her laptop. "Now hack John." she laughed and I smiled back.

That's the great thing about being Jess' twin: she always manages to get a smile out of you in the end. That, and the way she fights: she's so weak her punches never hurt!
