You lied? I cried.

You flirt? I hurt.

You wanted? I needed.

You forgot? I remembered.

You promised? I kept it.

You stopped? I started.

You were done? I was trying.

You love me? Stop lying.                                                                                                                                             ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elona's POV        

Today is my 17th birthday.

Why am I not excited?

Oh, yeah. It's because my "mom" is too busy having a one night stand at the club and I get to spend time with my sister, watching Anime and eating food.

But, I think that's better than hanging out with the woman I call my mom. Plus we get to watch more of one of my favorite Anime's, Black Butler.

"IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE, I WILL START THE ANIME MARATHON WITHOUT YOU!" Ekatsim screamed from downstairs. My eyes widened and I bolted downstairs. As I jumped the last 5 steps, I stopped and saw Ekatsim smirking at me. "You know I wouldn't do that to you right?" She snickered.

"You mean, I just did my "daily" exercise for no reason?!" I yelled.

"Pretty much." She said, trying to contain her laughter.

"Bish." I muttered, plopping on the couch. Ekatsim rolled her eyes and grabbed the remote, pulling up Netflix on the TV and clicking Black Butler. As we started watching, the door bell rang. Ekatsim groaned while I bounced up. "That's the pizza I ordered! Don't be so rude to my food!"

She raised an eye brow at me while I registered what I said.

"I'M A FREAKING POET! I RHYMED BISH!"

"Just open, the freaking door! I am hungry, woman!" I dodged the pillow that was chucked at me. I opened the door and came face to face a with a really cute guy. And I say cute because he's the kinda of guy who's cheeks you wanna pinch. He smiled and his dimples showed. Again, cute.

"Um... 6 jumbo sized pepperoni pizza with Mountain Dew?" He held out the pizza boxes, reading off of the receipt. I nodded and grabbed the boxes and Mountain Dew. Ekatsim walked up behind me and handed the guy the money. "Thank you! Have a great night." He called over his shoulder as he walked towards the car.

"He's hot."

"Cute." I corrected. She, once again, rolled her eyes at me. She went into the kitchen for plates and cups. I placed the pizza and soda bottle on the coffee table. The plates and cups were placed on the table. My sister and I got comfortable and began our marathon.

                                                                                                        *    *    *

The door slammed open as a drunken woman, our mom, stumbled in.

"What are two people doing in my house?!" She yelled, pointing a manicured nail at Ekatsim and I.

"Um... We live here." Ekatsim said in annoyance.

"Don't use that tone on me, brat." Kelsey growled, wobbling over to the kitchen with a loud burp. I sighed and picked our trash up, throwing it away and walking up the stairs to my room. My sister followed after me.

She opened the door to our room and we flopped on the bed, sleep immediately taking over.
                                                                                                    

                                                                                        *   *   *

Ekatsim's POV

The loud beeps of my alarm clock interrupted my beautiful sleep.  

Why me?! I was dreaming about food!

I opened my eyes to the blinding light and saw Elona was already getting dressed.

"I picked out your outfit!" She called as I walked into the bathroom. As I looked in the mirror, I screamed at the monster I saw staring back at me. I looked like Medusa with my hair. "Don't break my brush! Flipping Medusa's daughter." She muttered the last part.

I brushed my hair, which hurt a lot. I brushed my teeth and did my usual routine. I picked up my outfit. It was a white, patterned crop top with blue jeans and black beanie. Enola wore the same except black and red. I got dressed and swung my book bag over my shoulder.

"You know the saying?" Elona asked.

"Yep."

"Fake it, until you make it." We said in unison. Then we walked out the door for another week of hel- school.

A/N: The pic is Elona and Ekatsim's outfits for school.

Why did I pick those names.

I'll tell you this: Read the names backwards or write them backwards and you'll see :3
