Stonem Twins

1 | The First Morning

It is Stonem's household, Tina Stonem was woken up by her twin sister Effy banging on my door, "Fuck off!" Tina groaned and buried my face into the pillow.

"Wake up Tina! You've got to be ready for college, first day remember?" Effy asked.

Effy yelled and whacked on my door once more. "We're leaving in half an hour, if you're not ready I have to go with Dad alone, he's in a shit mood. So you better hurry up."

Tina reluctantly gets out of bed and stumbles to the bedroom, then turns on the shower and waits for it to heat up. Whilst Tina did, she turned the cold tap on and cupped my hands together, splashing the freezing water onto her face to wake myself up. Her body tingles from the sensation and Tina dry her face with a nearby towel. Slipping out of her pajamas, Tina quickly hopped into the shower, humming the tune to some rock song she heard on the radio last night. Tina spot of my shower gel from the toiletry rack and gets a drop of it onto her hands.

"Tina?" Her twin sister Effy asked, her voice muffled from the running water and door between us.

"Yeah?" Tina says whilst rubbing the gel on her neck and underarms.

"Do you want me to pick you out an outfit? You always take ages to choose one." Effy questions, "Why is she being so nice? And once again, there's no way I'm sitting in that car on my own with him. And that's why.

Tina rolls her eyes and steps out of the shower, wraps a towel round her body and leaves her hair to air dry. As Tina opens the medicine cabinet, she notices a packet of condoms that weren't in there yesterday. Tina's entire being cringes at the thought of her aunt and uncle getting in on, shaking the disturbing thoughts off, she grabs her toothbrush and toothpaste.

"Tina?" Answer me!" Effy called.

"Hey! Just do whatever I don't care!" Tina shouted to her, putting the toothpaste on the bristles and dampening the brush. Suddenly, Tina felt a lot fresher as the mint escaped to the corners of her mouth, she spit it out and headed back into the spare bedroom which is basically mine from the amount of clutter. Clothes were scattered everywhere due to her twin sister, meaning Tina could barely see the floor anymore.

"Effy!" Tina sighs, putting her hand in her head. "You better fucking clean this up when we get home."

"Here." Effy smiles and walks out her room, oblivious to what Tina just said.

Tina stepped over the pile of clothes to her bed to see what she picked out of her, she chose a black mini-skirt paired with ripped tights, a red corset top. She must've lent Tina combat boots because they were nearly placed by her door. I'm going to look like a clone of Tina, which isn't my style at all. But there's no time.

Tina go to sit at her vanity and choose some makeup that'd compliment my outfit, spreading it all out on my desk. Then Tina assessed my appearance in the mirror. Her eyes bags were extremely dark from the lack of sleep she got last night. The thought of starting school with Effy really excited me, even though I'd never admit it to anyone. We were finally going to be at school together after 2 years of being separated, Effy got transferred to some shitty posh school after some night out that put us both in hospital. Her parents didn't really care who Tina hung out with so she got to stay at her old school.

Tina applied some concealer to her under eyes which instantly made a difference. Tina then brushed on some light pink eyeshadow over her eyelids, then added some neat eyeliner and added some cherry lip balm to her dry lips. The difference from her outfit to her makeup was something else.

"10 minutes till we're leaving, Tina!" Effy shouts from her room, Tina glances at her alarm clock. It was already 8:50. Shit!

Tina turned on my curling iron, scrambled to my bed, threw on my clothes and ruffled them up a bit to give it an effortless look, which definitely wasn't the case with the amount of effort Tina was putting in. Then, Tina ran back to my vanity and began curling my hair. She messes it up a bit and locks it in with some hair serum and hairspray. Tina shrugged as she stared at myself in the mirror, not my best work but it'll have to do. Tina let it slide as she only had half an hour.
