The Lynch Twins

Chapter 1

"Lilly wake up! we've got school in an hour." I heard my twin sister say. "Do we have to go?" I said croakaly. "Yes now come on, if we're not dressed and downstairs in half an hour sister will kill us."

Let me get something strait. sister is not our actual sister. She's a horrible, strict care worker at the orphanage we live at. Yeah, we're orphans, have been since birth. Me and Lola have been through so much together. Just each other and the inspirational music of the all time bestest band, R5. Basicly she's the mature one and i'm the crybaby she's been forced to look after.

"Come on." She nagged, pulling me up. She suddenly gasped. "Do you remember what tomorow is!?" I squealed. "The R5 meet and greet concert!" 

I quickly pulled on my school tights and skirt and slipped on my uncomfortable shirt. She grabbed my wrist and turned it over to reaveal a red scar. "No more of this ok"

"Ok, anyway don't blame me, blame Dainiel and Zoe."

"Don't listen to those rude word bullies! It's not your faultthey're such bleep bleeping bleepers who should just bleep off." You've probably realised we don't like to swear, so we use words like bleep and stuff.

"Is the reflection room open at lunch time today?" I asked. The reflection room is this thing they do at school where you can go to pray and stuff. But some days at lunch there's this really nice teacher whoruns a kind of club thing where you can eat your lunch and play games. Everyone that goes there knows about me and Lola and the bullying and stuff and they're really nice about it. We go there at lunch to get away from the bullies, pray, and just hangout with people who are nice and undrestanding.

"No, but it is every other day this week" she replied to my question. "Sit down." She told me, pionting to a chair in front of her. I sat down and she began to brush my hair and tie it into and ponytial. Then she sat down and i did the same, but i left her air down, flowing around her shoulders.

"My teeth hurt!" I groaned. "They're going to, but you have to deal with it" I got braces 2 days ago and now my teeth are aching like mad. "Come on breakfast is probably ready" I said, slipping on my glasses. We walked downstairs and sat in our regular seats. I stared down at the toast in front of me. Did i mention i was also a bit anorexic. This has been caused by everyone at school calling me fat and me believing them. I took a bite, then 2 more, before putting the rest back on my plate. Lola looked at me then sighed. She knows i'm anorexic but she's tried to get me to eat but it doesn't work, so eventually she just gave up.

I leaned over to her and whispered " I've got lots of pocket money I've saved up, we can buy something at the corner shop next to school." She nodded as sister walked in. She told us to get into the minibus. We all climbed in and Lola sat in the back seat next to the window. The ride took a few minutes but when we got there we got off and waited for the bus to drive away before we walked into the corner shop.

She walked over to the drink section and picked up 2 cans of orange Fanta and handed 1 to me. I walked to the next isle and she followed me. I chose a massive bar of white aero chocolate and she chose a mint bar. We got lots of extra sweets before i handed my twin the money and she paid for everything.

We slowly walked back to school whilst drinking and eating. We had 5 mintes until the bell rung. As we were walking in a school bus stopped beside us and off came Daniel and Zoe. "Oh look at the fatso eating even more chocolate!" They both cackled at their insult. "Shut up 'cause you're really not achieving anything by saying that. Do you know she's anorexic because of you." Lola hissed at them. Zoe whispered something in Daniels ear. They both giggled and walked past us. One of them pushed me so hard that i fell over onto the hard ground, grazing my hands and making a small hole in my tights. "Oh no, there's a hole. Sister will literarelly kill me if she sees." I told her. "Don't worry. Pull your tights up so your skirt covers it and we'll sew it up when we get home." I nodde at her solution.

~ 3 hours later ~

It's now lunchtime and this first morning was hell! I had to read my work out in English, do a test in science and i had to sit right next to Daniel in history, you can imagine how that went. Me and Lola sat on our own at our regular table until we finished our lunch. we walked out only to find to exit blocked by the local idiots. "Oh would you look at that, Tweedledum has got train tracks!" They both collapsed in laughter at their own joke. We pushed past them to find our best friend Jason run up to us. He hugged me and asked me how my morning was. "The usual." I shrugged. "I heard you read your work in English, I thought it was really good." He smiled. "It wasn't, everyone laughed." i said sadly. "I didn't" He informed me. "Thanks". I whispered.

The rest of the day went by quicky. We didn't have any more hassle from bullies.We managed to sew my tights up. I had to vacuum the house like normal. I got to bed at about 2 in the morning and fell fast asleep.
