It's now Monday, the morning of my birthday and nearly two days since I've been here in Misticus. I hadn't done much, just caught up with my Caryn family of 4. We're all just as crazy as each other.
It's nice to be me for once . I've decided I'm going to just let my life play out like it's planned to. I shouldn't have to keep watching my back for something that's all in my head. Well I've been told it's all in my head, I didn't spend 6 months in a boarding school because I'm sane like most of the world.
It was just a phase.Still laying in my bed,which is a four poster huge wooden one,I picked up my phone to check the time. I glance up at my ceiling. Which is all mirror, so I can see my horrifyingly sweaty face. I can thank my insomnia for that.
My bed has different silks and fabrics draped over it just hanging and laying there,intentionally. It created an Arabian feel to my room, with the floor being marble and the dressers adorned jewels and trinkets. Over all it looked like beautiful. In the right corner of my room we're two Moroccan cushioned chairs behind two shisha hookahs. Not only do they look great but they come in all types of flavours. I have two sets of light systems, one normal bright one and spotlights that can be dimmed down to add to the whole vibe. It all reminded me of my parents who loved to travel and vasilisa and I usually came along with them , my favourite destinations being the Arab countries.
" Persephone, wake up" Vasilisa pushed open the double doors of my room to find me tangled in my satin sheets with my Calvin Klein sleeping set on.
"Ugh" a rude groan escaped my mouth as Vasilisa jumped on top of me.
"VASILISA! You're so heavy ... please I need sleep." She just shook her head at my hopeless pleas.
After what seemed like forever we decided to head off downstairs where our grandmamas were waiting with two plates of pancakes topped with candles.
"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you , Happy birthday to My Valentino's, Happy birthday to you" they were awful at singing but hey , the pancakes look good.
We were both still in our sleepwear covered in silk gowns. Mine black and Vasilisa's an off white.
"Happy birthday Mi Amor" Vasilisa filmed me,giggling her head off and was posting it on her Snapchat.
"Oh,Vasilisa. Why do we have School on our fucking birthday"
I was groaning in fustration while my Abuela flicked my hips in disapproval of my language but she just needed up laughing along with us all.

Since, Vasilisa doesn't have her license yet ,even though she's 18, I drove us both to school. I was wearing laced up black jeans with black fishnets a loose grey crop top finished with a cropped leather jacket. My gaze caught itself in the mirror of my car. They were an unusual colour ; a deep alarming purple like how Vasilisa's were an unusual electric blue.Persephone
Vasilisa was busy texting someone on her phone beside me.
VasilisaEven though Vasilisa and I were twins, we had very noticeable differences, naturally. She was a little pale whereas I had golden tanned skinned, she had blue eyes whereas I had purple ones. Of course I had black hair but she had Blonde hair. I had big plump lips like her though, and we both had exactly 16 freckles across our cheeks and nose. Mine were not as noticeable and were more sun-kissed but never the less they were there. On the contrary we also both were exactly 5'9 but my nose was more pointed whereas Vasilisas was more of a subtle plum button one. I had high cheekbones and Vasilisa had rounded apples of her cheeks.We were both and I admit beautiful in very different but then again similar ways.
"Persephone, you're going to be hunted on by vultures and they'll all want a piece of you, even the girls. You don't give yourself enough credit for how beautifully stunning you really are. People at school find me hot . But you and I both know I'm the pretty one and you're the striking one. They're going to literally feed off of how striking your beauty is."
Vasislia's head was bobbing to the song that was playing in my Audi rs7 while rambling on about the schools and me and .... I just gave up listening.
" Vasilisa . Stop ."
I sent her a glare which just sent us both into a fit of giggles as we were parking int the school.
With one last smile we both got out of my car collecting our bags from the boot, it's a habit okay ...
On our way to the front office we were stopped by a few people, mostly girls who were talking about cheerleading practice, that Vasilisa captains. All the while I had my sunglasses on and lowered my gaze as most of them were too busy talking to Vasilisa to notice me. I noticed how they would keep their gaze for longer at her eyes, intrigued by the intensity of the blue.
Eventually we made it to the office while we talked with one another about our old schools.
We grew up in England but travelled a lot so we have English accents, of course but Vasilisa started this school 6 months ago, while I was away.
"Hello, Lisa . This must be your sister, Persephone is it?"
Vasilisa smiled at the shirt plump receptionist and nodded her head.
Vasilisa doesn't tolerate anyone calling her Vasilisa . It's Lisa or a punch to the face, I however am an exception.
"Okay, Persephone. You need to stay with me in the office while I get everything sorted out.You can go to your Homeroom now Lisa. Your schedule is with your tutor."
With that Vasilisa scurried down the empty hall , as the bell had gone, while blowing kisses at me and we said goodbye.
" Shall I go through this door?" I looked up at the receptionist.
"Yes dear , I'm Ms.Stork and please do take those sunglasses off, my beauty isn't that blinding." She chuckled as she shuffled through some files, opening the door for me.
I took a seat a seat in the middle of her office and took off my glasses and moved my hair so that it wasn't covering my face . As she turned around she silently gasped and stared into my eyes. And when I mena stared, I mean, shamelessly.
"Woah, I knew Lisa had some crazy eyes but you . You're something else, and you look stunning." She smiles in disbelief at me, still staring into my eyes.
"I think it's better if you keep this shades on sweetie, don't want to give anyone a heart attack too soon" just as she said this the door opened again revealing the principle and two police officers.
Ms.Stork smiled and left out of another door which I presume led to a break room.
"Ms.Valentino?"
I whipped my head quite suddenly to the principle and smirked. I knew by now what was going to happen.
"Due to your record and of what I can see ..Criminal record and health records. You need to be escorted to and from all lessons for this week. This is an elite school for the deserving. I think you understand?"
Chucking I walked up to the 3 men and held my arms in-front of my chest waiting for them to be cuffed.
