I woke up to the sound of urgent thuds on my door. I jumped out of my bed and yanked the door opened only to find a look one of the twins outside my door. "Got you" Jack said with a smile that stretched ear to ear showing off his teeth as well. I gave him a small fake smile and shut the door in his face. "Not funny!" I called out getting back in bed engulfed myself in the thick blankets.

Then I heard my door open and the sound of footsteps walk over to my side of my bed. "Come on Finn and your mum are down stairs talking and its sooo boring!" Jack said making me groan. "I don't wanna!" I complained and he yanked the covers off of me. Then I felt his cold hands on my ankles and dragging me down causing me to shriek. 

"FINE!" I shouted before he could pull me off the bed. He let go and I stood on my own two feet "I hate you" I said before walking over to my dresser "Love you too" he said before walking out the door. I changed into jeans and a simple white shirt and combed through my hair. I walked down the hall to my bathroom and bushed my teeth and washed my face then headed down to kitchen.

"Look who's awake and it's only 2:30" My dad said and I let out a sigh "Time zones must have got me" I said going over the fridge and pulling out the milk. "Well you need to fix that!" my mother nagged "Alright mother!" I said trying to hold back my sarcasm. I sat the milk and walked around to the cupboard only to find the cereal on the top shelf. Me being the tiny person I am and the stubborn person I am I accepted the challenge.

I climbed up on the counter and strained for my arm to reach the cereal. Just as I grabbed it my heart dropped as I lost my balance and fell backwards. I dropped the cereal out of my hands and waited to hit the ground but felt a pair of hands gripping my hips and pulling me off the counter. My eyes shot open and I turned to find Finn behind me pulling off the counter and onto my feet.

It took me a second to get my mind back and I looked up at Finn who had a smile on his face. "Thanks" I said and he nodded "Anytime" he added and looked around us. There was colorful cereal all over the floor causing me to groan. "I'll clean it u-" "No you go eat I’ll do it" he said pushing me away towards Jack and my mother, who were in deep conversation. But I turned around and watched him drop down and start scoop the cereal into his hand. And I couldn't just let him clean up my mess. I mean well I could but I wouldn't be much of a friend now would I? 

I walked over and dropped down and scooped what he didn't into my hand. "What are you doing?" he asked and I looked up at him and smiled "Helping!” He let out a light chuckle and stood up walking over to the trashcan. Then I stood trying not to spill what I had in my small hands and walked over to dispose of it as well. "You know I could have just done it on my own!" he said making me turn around and look up at him due to his height.

"I could have done in the first place though" I simply said placing my hands on my hips causing him to grin. "Still stubborn as ever I see?" he said making a small smile find its way to my lips. "Whatever you want to think Finny" I said walking back over to the counter and pouring my cereal and milk in the bowl. I opened the bottom drawer and pulled out a spoon and began to eat. 

"So what are we doing today?" Jack asked trying desperately to abandon the conversation with my mother. I turned and look out the window to see the dark gloomy sky along with the twisted wind outside. "How about I stay home?" I said picking up my bowl and walking into the living room. I could hear their footsteps behind me and I turned around bringing the spoon already full of milk and absent of cereal up to my mouth.

They both had their green eyes locked on me with their bottom lips hung low. To add Jack laced his hands together and Finn made whiny dog noises. I have to say it was creeping seeing double of the same looking right at you. And I couldn't believe I put up with it before. But deep down I still had to admit it was cute too.
