The room was like a from an old movie. Absolutely black and white.
On the black side of the room, there was a white bed. Yet the pillow and door knob were checkered black and white, and the closet door had a black framed mirror hanging in it. The bedside table was white with black knobs. On top of the nightstand was a white alarm clock and a few books.
On the other side of the room, it was almost the exact opposite. The walls were white, with that black closet door and black framed mirror . The bed was black with the same checkered pillow. The nightstand was white, with a simple black alarm clack and more books.
On both nightstands was a charging phone.
In each bed there was a girl.
On the black bed, white curls fell over the checkered pillow. Tangled in these curls, are two brown hands, with fingernails that had been obviously chewed down many times. The hands are slim and light, almost like the girl often did ballet, though she had zero interest in dancing.
Below the curls was a face. The face was calm in its sleeping state. It had a small, nose, with wide nostrils and a rounded tip. This was accompanied by a small mouth. The lips were full and the bottom lip was pink. The skin was a dark brown.
On the other bed, hidden under black curls, was an identical girl. Her eyes however, were wide open, staring at her black walls. Her eyes were an unusual color, gray and fuchsia mixed into swirling waves of brown. These eyes were cold, emotionless, cruel at the moment, as most said they always were. Yet the girl across from her in the other bed knew better.
"Shejia."(Pronounced xie-gee-uh)
The staring girl's head snapped up, turning towards the girl on black bed, who was sitting up now, staring at Shejia with sleepy eyes.
"What do you want Eonai (ee-oh-nai)?" Shejia sighed at her white-haired twin.
"We're late sister." Eonai sighed back, as she stretched in her tiredness. She was graceful in this movement, like a pretty cat.
Shejia sat up abruptly, almost falling in an attempt to unravel herself from her sheets. She stumbled to her closet, swung open her closet door, and pulled out a tee, skirt,leggings, and a sweatshirt. All in white.
Eonai was slower in her movements, rubbing her eyes, and yawning. By the time her sister had run out the room to get in the shower, she had only managed to grab her glasses and fall out of bed, landing with a loud thump and a groan.
She lumbered over to her closet, pulling out a tank top, ripped skinny jeans, and a fake leather jacket. All in black.
"Eonai!"
In her still half asleep state, Eonai had managed to walk right into the bathroom door just as Shejia walked out, wrapped in a towel with half of her clothes on.
"Sorry." Eonai mumbled, before lumbering into the bathroom.

Breakfast was pretty quiet. Shejia dug into her pancakes and orange juice, while Eonai ate hers slowly, sipping her coffee in content.
"We're already late,you have to eat quickly!" Shejia whined as she put her dishes in the sink.
Eonai sighed and slipped the rest of her pancakes into a container, and put her coffee in a thermos.
She picked up her school bag, and walked out the door, with Shejia right behind her.
