'Same' Mistakes

Chapter one:

"Ariana! Get down here, you must be at school!" mom yelled. I just want to stay home today. I met my sister downstairs and we walked together to school. Yes, we are twins. Im Ariana, and shes Adriana. We both obviously look exactly alike, and are the same age. Only im 2 minutes older than she is. The sad part is that she has had 6 boyfriends in her life, and how many do I have? None. Can you believe that?! The good thing is that I sing much better than she can. I know this because we both auditioned for a talent show and she didnt even make it. I on the other hand, got first place. Boo ya! But dont worry, im not the snobby kind. It just feels good to know that you could be better at something than someone thats much better than you are. And that feels so very good, believe me. Dont get me wrong, I love my sister, and she loves me. Now enough chit chat about my little Thing 2, I must get to school. We both have the same classes which is a plus about school. I left her to go to her "cool" friends, that I think dont really like her. And I went to my "normal" friends who adore me for who I am, not for how many guys dated me and looks. "Hey, Ari!" Katie, my best friend in our group greeted me. I smiled and hugged her. "Hey, Katie Cat!" I called her by her nickname. She grinned. "Wheres Adri?" she asked. I rolled my eyes and pointed to her group of friends, which she was smiling and laughing fakely. I noticed how she threw her head back, laughing, and always threw around her red hair and batting her eyelashes flirtatiously at her guy friends in that group. She always smiled, flashing her dimples, and blinking her big eyes. I decided to copy her to make her see what she looked like. I skipped to her and laughed with the group. "Haha, yeah, funny!" I said, throwing my head back, ruffling my hair, batting my eyelashes, and blinking my big eyes. Adriana looked embarrassed. "What are you doing, Ari?" she asked me. I looked confused. "Exactly what you are." I replied. She smiled nervously. "No, I dont look like that." she laughed, still nervous. I nodded. "Adri, were twins. Of course you look like that." I smiled, twirled around, back facing her and her group, and walked off to my group. Katie laughed. "That was sad, but true." she giggled. "Yeah, cutie--er--Ari." Josh, our guy friend, stuttered. Did he call me cutie? School began and we walked to math. Mr. Pepper, our teacher took attendance and began teaching. The bell rung and we left to History. Our teacher tought, and the bell rung again. Hours later, school ended. I caught up with Adri, who was walking ahead of me, and hugged her from behind. "Hey Ari. What was your problem earlier this morning??" she asked, with anger in her voice. I rolled my eyes. "Come on, Adri. You know thats what you look like." I said. She scoffed. "No!" she protested. "Dude, were twins. Thats what you looked like." I laughed, endind the last sentence with sarcasm. She giggled. "Ugh. Youre right." she punched my arm playfully. I plugged in some earbuds and played my music. 'Gotta be you' was playing. I noticed Adri was talking to someone, so I turned around to see who it was. I made a disgusted face as she was talking to some guy. I think his name was Devon. She finished her short convo and turned to me, grinning. "Single status updated! Im now taken!" she raised her hand up, dreamily. I rolled my eyes. She blabbed on and on about him, so I turned up my music louder. Every once in a while, I would smile and nod. We walked home and opened the front door. "Hey mom," I greeted my mom. Adriana just walked upstairs to her room. I rolled my eyes and hugged my mom, arms wide open. She kissed my head and gave me a sandwich. "How was school?" she asked me, taking a seat. I smiled. "Good. Not too shabby. But good." I smiled. "And Adri? How was her day?" she asked. "Pretty good, as far as I know." I took a bite out of my sandwich and walked to my room. I took out my homework from my backpack and joined Adri with homework. "Hey, sis." she smiled. I climbed up to my top bunk. I changed into my gray sweats and blue tanktop. I pulled my hair into a messy bun and wrote down my name. "Eew. Wear something better. You never know who your going to see." she trailed off. I grunted and continued my homework. A few minutes later, my phone buzzed. I picked it up and saw that someone texted me.

Anonymous: Wanna be a star? Do you have a talent worth paying for? Text back Yes I Do to this number for more details! Dont miss this chance. You could be the next model/actress/star now!

"Hey Adri, look." I showed her my screen. "Oh my gosh! Reply!!!" she squealed. I followed her advice and texted back.

Anonymous: Great! Come to this adress and well see you there! (must have your parent's permission first.)

I squealed and turned off my phone. I ran out of the room and ran to the kitchen where my mom always is. "Mom! We have to drive to this adress! I might be famous!" I squealed. My mom looked shocked. "Okay, only if you share the wealth." she joked. I rolled my eyes and tossed the car keys to her. "Adri were leaving!" I called. She scampered down and got into the car. I trailed behind my sister and mom started driving. Minutes later we arrived at a professional looking building. We entered and walked to the front desk. "Hi I got a text saying to come here." I explained to the lady. She nodded. "Yes, right this way." she led us to a room with white walls and red furniture. A tall man with a light skin complection walked to us. I think hes German. "Why hello! How are you?" he greeted me. "Good. Are you the one that texted me?" I asked. He nodded. "Yes. Have a seat and Ill explain everything." he motioned us to sit down, so we sat on a leather red couch. "Okay, so you said your name is Ariana, correct?" I nodded. "Great. So this is an agency for singing, acting, and or modeling. Would you like to do all those or just one or two?" he asked me. "All is fine." I smiled. "Perfect. Sign this paper and well get started. Youll be 100% famous by Thursday. That gives you two days of free time. Make it last. Now we have to do a soundcheck and Ill need you to act for a bit. Then, well do modeling." he informed me. I nodded. I walked to a studio booth and put on the head peice. I sung a song and smiled when I saw him smile. "Great!" he clapped. "Youre absolutely wonderful!" he smiled. "Thanks." I said shyly. We walked out and he handed me a script. "Say these lines and well see how you do." he said, pointing to the lines he wanted me to act. I acted the desired lines and he nodded slowly. "Perfect." he took back the packet and walked to a room with cameras. I met a lady with firey red hair that looked like Miley Cyrus's hair. Only red. She greeted me and I began modeling. I honestly never modeled before, so this was beginners luck. "Okay, dear. Youre ready. You know my phone number so you may call it anytime if you got any questions. Come back here on Thursday and well start ASAP. Bye, have a good day, Ariana." He smiled and left the room. I walked out the other door and met my mom and sister. "Howd it go?" mom asked me. I sighed. "Great! Lets go celebrate while I can without getting mobbed!" I half joked. Adri chuckled. "So where do you want to go?" she asked. I thought for a bit. "Fro-yo?" I asked. They nodded. I cant believe whats happening. Adriana was texting someone, so I thought Id tease her a bit. "Yo,yo, Adri. Who you texting? Your boyfriend?" I blurted. Her eyes widened in shock. "Wha?? Ming your own business, dork." She sneered. "As soon as you pull those shorts down, 'cause I think they're a bit too tight, you're losing your mind." I giggled. Adri looked a bright red. "I hate you." she whispered. "Ooh, I hated you since this school year started. Youve been acting weird and I hate it!" By now, we were yelling in this cramped car. Poor mom. "Oh yeah? Well maybe if you were pretty enough, you could hang out with us!" she finished her sentence with a loud 'humph'. "Ha, well thats funny, cause were TWINS. If Im ugly, so are you." I crossed my arms. Mom laughed. "Girls, stop it. One, you guys are sisters and need to quit fighting. Second, Ari has a very good point. Third, Adri is way too young to have a boyfriend." Mom smiled in approval of her own words. "Shes had seven so far." I muttered. Mom raised her eyebrows at Adri. "Okay, Im sixteen, mom. I know what Im ready for." Adri rolled her eyes. I shook my head. "Teenagers. They think they know everything." I poked my moms shoulder. She giggled. After afew minutes we went to Pinkberry and ordered our yogurts. I ordered my usual chocolate yogurt with gummy bears and sat down next to my mom and sister, who were devouring their snacks. "I thought it was a scam," Mom mumbled. "Huh?" What is she talking about? "The talent thing. I honestly thought the famousy thing was a scam. Can you believe that? But to be honest, I dont want you to be famous." she whispered the last part. I frowned. "Uhh, lets take this to go and continue the convo in the car." I reasoned. We got up and got into the car.
