Karen
Today is my birthday and I was in a good mood. I got out the bed and turned my radio up to the max. Power by young thug was blaring through the speakers.
I was feeling myself. I went into my bathroom and started my shower. While the water was heating up I went back into my room and looked through my closet. "What do I want to wear?" I asked myself.
I picked out a carribean blue long sleeve knitted shirt with the word sexy written in gold on the front, with a pair of boyfriend jeans and my Nike air max's.
I took my shower got out, lotioned down, and put on my clothes. I had already pin curled my hair the previous night so all I had to do was give it one good fluff. I applied some lip gloss to my lips then grabbed my stuff making sure I turned everything off and went down stairs.
"Good morning baby and happy birthday!" my ma said placing a plate of hot food down in front of me. "Thanks love." I told her waiting for Darien to come down so that we can all eat together.
"Happy birthday kare-bear!" I rolled my eyes playfully. "Thanks and what is up with the nickname?" we all laughed.
In the mist of breakfast the door bell rung, nobody made the motion to get up and answer so I got up and went to the door. Opening the door without looking through the peephole I came face to face with my other half and a little boy standing behind her.
We studied each other for brief moment before pulling each other into a long lasting hug.
"Its finally nice to meet my twin, my other half. Come in join us for breakfast." I told her basically dragging her into the kitchen.
"Guess whose here. Ummm wait I didn't quite get your name."
"Oh it's Kira and this is my son Ashton." My ma made room for the two of them and we all sat and ate breakfast quietly.

I skipped school so that I could catch up with my twin.
While we were conversating I learned that her favorite color is orange, she likes goldfishes, favorite movie is the hobbit and her and Ashton always have mother and son night every Friday.
I also found out that Ashton's father is a married man that works at a law firm downtown.
"How about you what's your favorite color, movie, pastime, etc?" She asked getting more comfortable on my bed. Ashton was on the floor playing with some of his toys.
"Well my favorite color is turquoise, don't have a favorite movie cause I love them all, I have this best friend that occupies half of my time. His name is Kyle." I told her smiling.
"This Kyle character must be something special. Got you smiling hard and what not." She teased laughing.
"We've known each other ever since we was kids, so I'll say we're pretty close."
"Might be a little too close if you ask me. So tell me sister to sister what was your first time like?" Kira asked with this wicked smile on her face.
My face turned a whole new shade of red. I remembered that day like it was yesterday.
Me and Kyle was stuck at home bored out of our minds. My ma was gone on a business trip and his mom had to work a double at the hospital.
"You wanna go to the movies or something cause I can't take another boring hour sitting in this house?" Kyle asked.
I nodded and then got up and put on my shoes. At the time neither one of us had a car so we walked to the movie theater, which was a couple of blocks down from the corner store.
Kyle bought both of our tickets and we enter the dark room. We choose to sit in our usual places, which was the back row, second to the last seats.
"Why did I let you pick the movie for us to watch?" I asked. I should have picked the movie cause Kyle picked out a scary movie.
Almost at the end of the movie I felt something on my neck. I instantly turned around and was face to face with the wall. Minutes later I felt something else on my neck again I turned around and was face to face with the wall again. But when I turned back to the screen Kyle screamed which made me jump and waste soda on my shirt.
"I can't stand you, stupid ass!" I yelled getting up and walking out.
My shirt was soaked and sticking to me. "I'm sorry Karen I didn't mean to make you waste soda on yourself." He said taking off his shirt handing it to me. I snatched it and walked in the bathroom to change.
Once I was done we left. We made it back just before darkness. I ran upstairs to my room and changed clothes then returned downstairs.
"What you want to eat pizza, wings, or Chinese food? " I asked looking through the fridge. Kyle shrugged and continued to tap on his phone.
We ended up ordering pizza and wings.
Later on that night....
"I got sunshine on a cloudy day, when it's cold outside I got the month of may. "
"Kyle please just stop. You got my ears bleeding!" I exclaimed laughing.
"You always hating on me little girl." He said popping his imaginary collar making me laugh harder.
"Let's make a promise." I stopped laughing and eyed him. "What kind of promise?"
"Let's break each other's virginity and keep it between the two of us."
I sat quietly thinking about what he just said. I wanted to wait until marriage but lately I've been second guessing myself.
I held out my hand and we did our childhood handshake. I honestly didn't know what I was getting myself into.
