I signed into school late.
Its the not first.
It wont be the last.
I strolled down the science corridor wondering if Charlie Green, the class clown had been sent out of the lesson yet again.
Last lesson her set a bin on fire, the week before he blew up his glasses with a Bunsen Burner and a pair of tongs. Last month there was a gas leak at school. Guess who that was. Yes, Mr Smart-Ass Green. Opening all the gas taps and turning the gas on. He thought it was hilarious. So did his friends: Aaron, Jacob and Sam. But everyone else thought and still do think he is an idiot!
I, unfortunatly had to call this idiot my brother. My twin brother.
"Hi P. Your late? Tut tut tut." he looked at his watch tutting and shaking his head. "Yeah, i thought i would wind up Violet for you. So have fun." His sarcastic tone grind-ed on me. "See up on about 30 seconds then yeah?" he said gleefully, stepping to the side of the door and opening it for me.
"Urgh, thanks Charlie. What did you do this time anyway?"
To be honest i didnt care and didnt want to talk to him. I knocked on the door and walked in. It was mayhem, complete mayhem. There were battery packs, light bulbs etc everywhere. We were going back to basics. Simple stuff. I was quite glad I as late. Going over stuff we have done so many times before is just boring. Mr Violet saw me walk in.
"Oh Miss Green. Nice of you to join us. But turn around and try and not to fight with your brother out there. The idiot has managed to set fire to the fish tank."
He screamed sarcastically at me. I know what your thinking. How can you set fire to water. Well this is Charlie so anything can happen. All he did was to put batteries in the tank the day before. Took them out just before the lesson. And took a match to the water. And boom. Water is on fire.
"Sorry Sir, I... I... I... have no excuse for being late." I was being punished for what my stupid twin brothers mistakes or 'purposeful accidents'. Aah. Life sucks being a sibling to a complete moron.
"Even your useless brother can turn up on time. I wish he didn't. Stupid fire starter. Arsonist. That's what he is. An arsonist! DO NOT COME BACK INTO THIS ROOM, DON'T LET ME SEE HIM, YOU OR ANY OF YOUR USELESS FAMILY UNTIL OUR LITTLE CHAT WITH YOUR PARENTS LATER. NOW GO!"
I turned around and started to walk out the room, i felt my eyes start to burn. Thinking don't cry. Don't cry. "I think you mean, my mum. Not my parents." I slammed the door behind me. If i had to try not to fight with Charlie i couldnt listen to him. I grabbed my headphones and iPod from my bag and sat on the floor next to the door. The other side to which Charlie was on.
"Pennnn" He groaned moving and sitting next to me. Pulling my headphone out of my right ear.
"Yes" I snapped.
"Mum is going to be so mad an be Pen. Please please please take the blame."
I felt kind of happy and superior that he was begging me.
"No Charlie. How can i if i wasnt even in the room. And really late? No you can just tell her and go to boarding school and leave me alone for once." I groaned at him, put my headphones back in and tried to ignore him.
I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I ignored him.
A bite on my arm.
I ignored him.
He took off my shoe.
I ignored him.
It was when he reached around my shoulder and tried to undo my bra i flipped. He succeeded in annoying me, and undoing my bra. "CHARLIE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. I AM YOUR SISTER. NO. YOUR TWIN. YOU CANT UNDO MY BRA. LEAVE ME ALONE. PLEASE. MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY THIS ON SADIE?"
He pushed me to the limits, I got up and ran to the toilets, threw myself into a cubicle and whipped off my jumper and shirt. I started to do the dang bra up again when I heard a familiar song. I looked down at my headphones on the floor. Silent. But my phone started vibrating: Ella? My best friend. She was in Violets lesson wasn't she?

Hope you enjoy.
