Their always close to each other, they rarely speak to anyone or at all, their grades are always above average always around 90%.

"Awe, look at the nerdy siblings, they're always so serious." Jennifer mocks them based on the fact they wear rounded glasses.
They say nothing but turn their heads toward each other, the brother (Matthew) shook his head as if declining something and looks back at his phone.
The sister's (Maniae) eye twitches out of annoyance at her brother's thoughts of the situation.
"They're so creepy, it's like they can read each other's minds or something!" Tiffany laughed as her voice was barely above a whisper but just enough for them to hear.
Maniae glared at the bunch of girls that were surrounding them, a menacing glint in her eye as she gritted at them. The group of girls got frightened by Maniae, their leader backed away slowly as she taunted them "let's go girls, she's getting mad" she giggled with a hint of fear in her voice.

Matthew glanced at Maniae before focusing his attention on his phone again, "dont be stupid, you're entertaining them, stop and think for once" he said as seriousness filled his voice while still having his laid back demeanor. "But-" Maniae was about to argue with him before she got cut off by his sentence "Dont, you listen, dont argue with me" he glared at her as his voice was low and enraged a bit, Maniae sighed heavily before nodding in submission and fishing for her phone from her pocket.

A classmate of theirs walked up to them, unlike the others he was kind despite his cold appearance, "you guys ok?" He asked as he overheard the arguement between the siblings. "Yeah, we're good" Matthew answered as he looked up from his phone, showing a bit of respect towards him. "I overheard the argument, who's making problems for you two?" Noah asked with a bit more seriousness in his tone. "Jennifer and her group" Matthew answered. Noah sighed heavily as he massaged the bridge of his nose annoyed by Jennifer's actions, "Dont worry about her, she's just being her usual self... childish" He smiled softly. "More like retarted" Maniae added unto the conversation. Noah's eyes darted to Maniae as his eyes widened, a light chuckle escaped him, "A bit rude to say" Noah said jokingly. "That's my sister, hot-headed and rude" Matthew sighed playfully as he patted Maniae on the head.

The day was over and the siblings were on their way home, a tall boy with his friends bumped into Matthew causing the boy to fall but not Matthew. "Watch where you're going!" He shouted as he looked up at Matthew, "A nerd? You've got some balls to not be apologising or being scared" he added as he taunted Matthew, he got up onto his feet about the same height as Matthew as he looked into his eyes with a grin on his face. His friends were focused on the tension building up in the boy's eyes, they noticed Maniae as she was getting pissed off by their presence, "who's this cutie?" One of them said as he leaned down to look her in the eyes, his hand holding her chin to look up at him, "Dont touch my sister" Matthew threatened as his voice was deeper than usual and laced with a menacing tone that no one other than Maniae has heard, he grabbed the boy's hand and twisted it behind his back all with one swift move, "What the fuck?" Everyone shouted in fear as if they havent seen such speed in their lives. "Dont ever touch her, without consent." Matthew threatened further as he let go of the boy and walked back to his sister. "You think your such a hot shot?" The boy shouted as he was clearly pissed. Matthew took off his glasses handed it to his sister, "hold." He demanded, this one word meaning more than one thing, telling her to hold back as she should wait for him and to hold his glasses. Matthew cracked his neck as he readied himself, but kept a usual stance as the boy took it as an opportunity, he attempted to swing at Matthew but failed as Matthew dodged out the way and used his momentum against him as he tripped him making him stumble over his own feet, "No one said I was a hotshot, but your cockiness says a lot." Matthew stated bluntly as he stomped on the spine of the boy making him fall onto the floor, he did not stop stomping on him as he stomped on that specific part of his spine simultaneously. "Dude, stop, that's enough!" One of the other boys shouted begging Matthew to stop his sadistic assault. "Matthew, stop." She told him as she placed her index finger between his shoulder blades. He stopped not long after as he backed away and took his glasses cleaning it first then adjusting it on his face. He continued walking further ahead of her expecting her to follow, she walk fast behind him finally catching up, "and I cant do that?" She ask with a chuckle, "dont do it on school grounds" he glanced at me then back ahead of him. "Sure" she chuckle a bit more with sadistic intention.

"Hey, get done dressing we've got a meeting with the Krendés" Matthew hished in a calm manner. "Wait, for a second" she replied keeping her tone respectful as she stepped out not long after. Her line black lace applique evening dress matched with her black heels as they were just the perfect length complimenting her already tall height, her matte lipstick complimenting her black hair, "Who're you tryna impress?" Matthew chuckled as he gestured for her to follow as he walked down the stairs to the black and white hellcat that was parked outside in the driveway as their personal bodyguards were waiting for them, they opened the doors for the siblings to step inside and seat on the comfortable white satin seats. The silence filling the air of the car as they reached their destination, their bodyguards stepped out first and opened their doors, guiding Maniea out by the hand gently, and tugging Matthew up to get him on his feet, they stood infront of the Krendés royal abode, met by the wife of the head as she smiled warmly greeting us and offering her hand to shake, "Good evening, siblings" showing off her angelic pure colour teeth, Matthew took her hand gently but firm as he shook her hand, showing respect and discipline in her presence, she led them into the house escorting them to the lounge where her husband and his sons sat on the sofas cross legged waiting patiently, Maniea stepped in after her brother as the sons of the Krendés focused their gaze on her, like children who believed in love at first sight, they all stood up to greet the siblings as they shook hands with all the family in the room, "Welcome, get comfortable" the head Ajax greeted them as he gestured towards the couch parallel them, the siblings nodded in unison as they sat down elegantly and politely, the sons of the Krendés could not keep their eyes off of Maniea as their eyes roamed her body multiple times, Matthew noticed this and got a bit angered and was about to speak up on the matter before Maniea spoke up first, "Would you kindly not look at me like that?" She glared at them from the corner of her eye, her voice was low but menacing showing her dominance as it also emitted a cold aura and threatening persona towards them, their parents snapped their heads towards their sons with an agitated expression, they lowered their heads in shame, "We're so sorry for our sons' behaviour" their mother Verena apologised on behalf of them, "Its fine, they're just boys, they are still learning" Maniea smiled warmly but with a cold tone that held a deeper meaning between the lines of her words. They spoke more on business matters and the sons spoke and talked to Maniea with respect after their humbling by her.

"Thank you for the negotiation, and for sparing our sons" Ajax acknowledged them as he greeted them escorting them out of his property, "Oh, its water under the bridge, friend, right sister?" Matthew answered as he looked at Maniea with a delighted expression but a serious tone, "Yes, water under the bridge" She smiled warmly as she manipulated her tone to sound as if it was okay, even though it wasnt, if it were up to her she would've gouged out both their eyes for their sinful act.

As they entered the car the conversation started with Matthew, "Well at least you knew how to diffuse that situation with logical thinking" he cheered for her with a lazy tone, "I wanted to gouge their eyes out of their sockets" she answered as she looked out the window watching the house of the Krendés family disappear into the distance, "well, thank you for being on your best behaviour, I'll buy you an energy drink, which one you want?" Matthew asked as he looked at his sister tired of today's events, "I might get myself one as well" he added, "Do as you please, I dont mind as long as I get one" she answered as she turned her attention towards her brother again. The rest of the travel was silent as they parked into the driveway, their bodyguards opening the door and helping them out of the vehicle as they entered their household, the siblings receded to their personal rooms to get dressed for dinner, Maniea took a quick shower as she slipped into her pyjamas and strolled gracefully down the steps as she sat down at the dinner table waiting for her brother before she could be served her food. As she was growing impatient her brother descended from the stairs as he walked towards the table gently placing his hand on his sister's head as he walked to his seat, "our family along with their close friends will come over for the weekend" He stated as he leaned back into his seat with a very clear annoyance in his voice, "best be on your best behaviour, especially with the men of the family's companions..." he added as he glanced at the food being placed infront of us by the helpers. "Fine..." she sighed as she began tapping my finger on the table, "The fact that the both of us arent married to anyone yet has the highest probability of being the main topic around the rest" she gritted, her voice sounding serious. "That is an understatement, those lizards would obviously hold a dagger of insults near our throats for that." He sighed as he played with his food before taking a bite, "They might even arrange a marriage for the both of us at this point..." he added as he swallowed the food. Maniea's eyebrow twitches as an indication of irritation that calmed as she sighed the tension that built up inside her, "I cant promise that he wont be unscathed, especially if he touches me in a wrong way" she states as she began eating of her food that was on her plate and washing it down with sparkling water. "Just try not to anger the rest of the family, you'll need to keep up a 'healthy' relationship status infront of others" He said as he finished his plate, clearly starved by today's tension and challenges. "Sure, I'll try to endure their false kindness... again" she answered as she got up from her seat, "excuse me as I leave to my chambers" she bowed her head in respect and gratitude towards her brother and the helpers as she walked away. "May the Lord be with us" he sighed as he got up as well, bowing his head in gratitude as he left for his chambers too.
