Accept it, Chris

"You gonna' visit her today man?" Lenny asks, though he did not really have to, and he knows it. It is Chris he's talking to. Lenny knows that Chris has to see his sister every day after school. It was the only time he could do this, "alright man. I'll see you at the house."

Chris walks out of the classroom. Since it's only the end of September people are still asking him to join different clubs and teams. He wants to get his things and leave but those people are making that impossible. They are almost lined up on the corner that leads to his locker. He has to politely refuse. There is no way he would be able to do that this year. His sister needs support. They all know this, but they also know that he is probably the most athletic person in the school. Few even come close to him in athleticism. Few challenge him because of his... unwanted reputation. Even the people who do are nowhere near as smart as him. Although he is not the smartest in his class, he at least stays within the top ten. It is not something he does purposely. He is the kind of person who reads books in class or sleeps all day. It's just that when he gets an assignment, a test, or a quiz, he is able to do it as though he listened to every word a teacher says. Many teachers have told him that if he applies himself more, he could be at the top of his class and be a senior already. He doesn't really care though. He only cares about his sister and his best and best friend Lenny. He get his things from his locker. He barely makes it to the door when someone calls him.

"Chris!" he recognizes Lenny's voice, "Hold on! It seems like I'm coming to." He is excited. The only reason he would be this excited is because he is seeing his brother at the same hospital as Chris' sister. "Kenny is 'out of commission' again." Lenny says making air quotes. "Out of commission" is just something they say at Kenny's school. All it really is is suspension. They can't get rid of Kenny because he is one of their best students, academically and athletically. "I don't know why he gets into so many fights."

"You're one to talk" Chris sneers while Lenny laughs loudly.

"I'm serious. And he is such a nice person." Lenny explains, laughing. Lenny often goes with Chris to see his sister. On days like this however, they both go to see their hospitalized siblings and once they get into the hospital they wouldn't see each other again until they leave. Kenny always gets rooms on the other side of the hospital.

Lenny and Kenny are twins. Kenny gets injuries from the fights he has with the gangs around his school. Kenny really does have a good heart. It's the reason why he fights so much. When he sees someone in trouble with the gangs like the little girl he sees every day before school or some old lady that gets her purse stolen, he helps the people the only way he knows how: fighting the people that mess with them. Occasionally someone has a knife and when Kenny is done with that person, he is in a hospital getting stitches. He'll never put someone's life in jeopardy. When his wounds are severe, which is almost all the time, the hospital makes him stay a few nights. He's smart and gets good grades like his brother. It's a new year so it is expected. The seniors that were there won't be getting on his nerves anymore.

Chris and Lenny have motorcycles because both of their parents are secretly rich, at least to the schools. They never see their parents though. Kenny is the one that gets to stay with his parents. The last time Chris and his sister saw their parents was when Chris' sister last switched to a hospital that was closer to his school. This was about a year ago. The last time Lenny saw his parents, was when he changed schools. He went to the same school as his brother. He stopped two and a half years ago when he was expelled because he took the fall for Kenny. It was a fight that almost ended another kid's life. Just as before, it was for that little girl. No one knew about this except for himself, Kenny, and Chris. Lenny did not mind. His brother got to stay in the better school. Kenny and Lenny are the same, almost completely identical. The only difference is the personalities and the fact that Lenny is more mature than Kenny.
