Big Dreams

Chapter 2

I'm so happy to start off my day with Art. It's been my favourite subject since Year 1. Yesterday, we only had a run through of what we were going to do. Today, is when we finally start.
                                ***************************************************
"Ok so there is going to be a new seating plan, I want you to tell me your name so that I could get you into position"
The teacher is a she, so artistic looking. A baige coloured jumper with half sleeves to her elbows. Combined with a pair of black pencil trousers a bit more above the ankle, some white socks and shiny shoes. So artistic like. I loved it.
"****** you'll be sitting next to Willow, just over there" she pointed next to a window.
Willow, nice name. She also was dressing up so artistic and cool like.
Between talks and jokes we finally became friends and I told her that she could join the 'squad'.
************************************************
It's lunch time: 'squad time' I call it. We meet just in front of the canteen. Willow and I are waiting there and we see Riley and Adrian come, then Mikey and Christian and we all full. I introduce Willow to the group and we go get lunch. We start talking about our lives and it gets really personal. Riley starts off talking about his little sister, Alessia, she's such a little cutie pie. He also talked about rugby and how he played it for 4 Years.
"Man I love rugby" he starts showing off.
"Yeah that's how we met" Mikey takes the place "we've been friends ever since.
"I have a 20 year old sister who lives in New York now, I miss her" he keeps going.
We all turn to Adrian.
"You're turn, man" I tell him.
"Ok ok so, I also have a big brother who's in this school but he's in Year 12, Matt. He's so cool, man. He las ways gives me advices on girls and sex!"
At this point we all look at him in disgust.
"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and how to dress up as a cool kid to pull more birds"
Willow starts getting annoyed.
"You can't call girls, birds that's just fucked up man!"
"Hey darling don't get mad at me maybe we could go out some time and sort this out"
She rolled her eyes and gives him a death stare.
"I like football, I hear a lot girls like footballers"
He gives her a smirk. She keeps rolling her eyes at him.
"Why are you guys so obsessed with sports!"
Christian is complaining at the other side of the table.
"Maths, science is life"
"Shut up man"
"No, you shut up Adrian"
He stayed quiet not expecting that from him.
"I'm a nerd and y'all now it. On the other hand, have you met my twin brother Jordan? He's on the football team, Adrian knows him very well. They are kind of mates. We are chill at home, apart from when he insults me for being a nerd"
He looks around, he spots something and points at him. Jordan is there around the 'populars' being all flirty with the chicks.
"There he is"
"He doesn't look like you" I say.
"It's because we are non-identical twins, sometimes to keep his reputation up he even says that he's not my twin"
"That's terrible" I think.
I don't even have siblings and I'm sure it will feel terrible to be treated like that from your own twin.
"I don't even have siblings and I'm sure it will feel terrible to be treated like that from your own twin" said Willow.
I look at her in shock.
"Willow, I just said that in my mind! I said the exact same thing in my head just before you said it"
We stare at each other in shock.
Christian adds: "sometimes my brother and I have things like that happening to us"
"What do you mean?" Said Willow
"Did you turn into Justin Bieber?" I said laughing at her and her laughing as well.
"I mean that I think of something and then my brother says it out-loud or vice versa"
We are all quite surprised, until Willow starts talking.
"Well, can I talk about my life? So as I said before I'm a lonely child. I live with my parents. I love art and dressing tumblr[, I love taking pictures also but it's weird because nobody in my family is interested in photography. I also share a passion for fashion. So, ****** now it's your turn"
"Ok, so part of my life I don't even have to talk about because Willow just described me, which is weird. Again. But, uhm...my life...so I was born from a woman and a man like everybody here. Things got confused. I never saw my dad because he left us, my mum and I, so I don't know where he is. And the reason for him leaving is that my mum started liking women and one day she found her 'love of her life', so she married her and now I have lesbian mums. However I never call Diana, mum, because I feel like she is just not part of my family you know. She just came and made things worse, my dad would try to come back sometimes but Diana would tell him off. That's why I don't feel like calling her 'mum'. I still never saw my dad, every time she tells him off. I come too late to see him. I don't think mum knows about it. However, I really want to meet him."
We all stay silent for a couple of minutes and then I spoke:
"Hey do you guys want to come to my house this weekend? On Friday you can come directly with me and we can have a cool sleepover!"
"Sounds like a plan" says Mikey.
"Cool, see you then"
The bell rang just in time.
************************************************
I go home. My eyes were wide open as I opened the wooden door to the entrance and saw Diana. She was not supposed to be here until 19:00 or 20:00.
"Your mum just went to the hospital to get something checked"
She was trying to sound as calm as possible to not make me go nuts. She didn't tell me that, but I could see it in her expression.
"She is going to stay there for the day"
I wasn't worried that much, but I knew that something was wrong...
