"No care, No care, No care in world. No fair, I don't care. I don't care, I don't care anymore. No fair I don't care."

"Alex!Hurry up! You're going to make us late." Cassandra shouted from the base of the stairs. Her sister reluctantly ran down the staircase, her book bag slung carelessly over one shoulder and her hairbrush in the other. "Geez, I thought you'd never come down." Cassandra said leading the way to the parking lot. "I'd rather still be up there. Don't tempt me." Alexandra smirked. "Oh, stop it Alex. This is our first time in this state. We might like it." Cassandra said locking the door. Cassandra and Alexandra were on their way to a new school. They had arrived in this state just as recently as the previous summer. Their father, a multimillionaire, sent them to this specific school to ensure a brighter future and straighten up "their" act. That last part was aimed more towards Alexandra .

She was the troublemaker, always into some sort of mischief, like a rebellious teen she always did what she wanted. Her sister Cassandra on the other hand, was the definition of- no the epitome of perfection. She was good at everything, grades are phenomenal, she is gorgeous, had a lean and prestige body. She had it all. "Who knows. Maybe this school will teach you something." Cassandra smiled at her sister. Arriving in the school parking lot, a few students were already gathered around lot. As Cassandra pulled in, she scanned the area. "Eh, I think it's best to park in the garage." She muttered to herself. She turned her car around and pulled into the driveway. Nearing the time to get out, Alexandra put her hood on, concealing her face. "Ms. Windsor should be here at some point today to walk with you, so don't be suprised when you see her." Cassandra said getting out of the car and carrying her bag of books. Alexandra followed. Exiting this garage led to a bombardment of whistles and whispers. "Would ya take a look at that beauty." "I gotta get me a ride like that." "Nice ride ya got there hun!" Someone shouted as Cassandra continued to walk away. "Hey!" The person ran up beside the two girls. "Those books are looking awfully heavy. Mind if I carry them? The name's Hal." The stout, greasy-haired guy flashed a bright smile. Ofcourse, Cassandra not wanting to give off a bad rep, she complied. "I'm Cassandra." She smiled back almost stopping the boy in his tracks. Her smile made hearts skip beats. The type you'd take a mental picture of when you see because you never want to forget it.

As they continued to walk, the greaser helped Cassandra put the books away. Before parting ways, Cassandra thanked him and watched him walk away. "Ok. Now that's taken care of. Let's find the office. We need our uniforms." Cassandra peered around the corner. She motioned her sister to follow but Alexandra was too engrossed in her phone to even notice. Cassandra sighed as she led her sibling by the arm. "Good morning Lindenburgs, we've been expecting you both. Your uniforms are right here. I must inform you that you are scheduled to have a meeting with Dr. Crabblesnitch in his study after class." The brunette lady behind the counter smiled. The two girls nodded and went to change. The girls were given a choice in uniforms. Cassandra went with what she thought suited her best. A blue plaited sweater vest, white collared shirt, and pleated skirt. Grant it the skirt sat shorter than on Cassandra than the average girl but it fit snugly. Alexandra reluctantly picked out khaki colored skirt, a white collared shirt, and a Bullworth letterman jacket. Both uniforms included a pair of knee high socks but became thigh highs because of the girls' body proportions and black heels. Alexandra upright refused the heels and switched to her 'old skool vans'. Once they finished changing, Alexandra's hood returned. Entering the cafeteria, crowds of students were sprawled across the room. A group wearing the same uniform as Cassandra waved her over.

Alexandra has recognized them too. Those snobs from the house warming party. The petite girl Pinky, talked Alexandra's head off. Those spoiled brats favored her sister more than Alexandra . They treated her almost as if they weren't even related in the slightest term. "Well. Try not embarrass yourself." Cassandra said coldly. Cassandra was usually cold and unloving towards her sister but it's just the tone of her voice. She sounds like the female version of their Dad. Cold hearted and demanding. Alexandra was already too familiar with it and just accepts it. Having enough of the unbalanced hormones all in one room, Alexandra exits. When she turns around to leave, she bumps into someone. An extremely tall, red headed kid towers over Alexandra . "Watch it ya big ape!" She scuffed. "What was tha?" The red headed barbarian wrung Alexandra up by her hood causing her to hover above the ground. "Aye! Knock it off!" No matter how much she kicked and sprawled, to no avail did she ever land a hit. "Hey! Ya big ape! Try picking on someone your own size!" Someone yelled. In what seemed like a millisecond, Alexandra fell to the ground as the barbarian ran down the hall towards another kid. "Thank you, random kid." Alexandra said under her breath as she ran off in the opposite direction of the ongoing bullfight. She ran out of the main entrance running into someone yet again.

It was Ms. Windsor. Alexandra personal guardian and caretaker when her parents weren't around. "Pardon me, Ms. Lindenburg." She bowed. "You know you don't have to call me that in public." Alexandra said refusing her offer to help her up and rushed herself off. "Your reflexes are slower than usual today. Are you alright?" Although Alexandra was slightly heated from the previous encounter, she couldn't help but soften at Ms. Ji Yeon Windsor's voice. She was a 34 year old maid sent from South Korea, she hardly knew English but was there when she was needed most. She loved the girls as if they were her own. Even going as far as to call them her children. "I'm fine Ji." Alexandra said as she began to walk off. "Have you taken your daily medication?" Ms. Windsor tried her best to keep up with the speedy teen as she was in 9-inch heels. Alexandra nodded silently. "Is there anything wrong?" Ji Yeon cut off Alexandra's path by standing infront of her. "I just don't wanna be here ok?" Alexandra said removing the maid's hand from her face and continues to walk. — Jimmy cut the corner of the hallway and into a locker. He stood as stiff as a board, waiting for the storm to pass through. Soon enough, he did. Unsuccessful and defeated, the giant exited to school. Jimmy released himself from his cramped prison and returned to the cafeteria. 'Where did that kid run off to?' He thought to himself. "Hopkins! Where were you?" A scarred boy spat with anger. "We were supposed to be touring. And as your mentor, I give the orders." Gary insisted. "I'm pretty sure that's not how it works" Jimmy shrugged but began to follow the deranged student. "Class is about to start soon. You might wanna head on in." Gary stood out of the art room.

The bell sounded as soon as the boys entered the room. A few more students including the hooded Alexandra and Cassandra entered the room before the bell stopped. Everyone was seated and silent as Ms. Phillips entered the room. "Alright students from what the announcements say, we have a new student...two new students. Uh..Cassandra and Alexandra Lindenburg." Ms. Philips smiled in delight at the recognizable surname of the two. Their mother was a world renown artist. Like Bob Ross level. "Ah Cassandra, you know I thought about naming one of my future children that name." Cassandra flashed her signature smile at the teacher as she shook her hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you." She replied. "Alexandra? Alexandra?" Ms. Phillips called out while searching the room with her eyes for the sibling. Alexandra sat as still as possible hoping she would pass her by. Sadly it was to no avail. "Ah, Alexandra please stand up here with your sister and introduce yourselves." Ms. Phillips motioned her towards the front of the room. 'Hi I'm Alexandra, one of the biggest fuck ups on the planet...' she thought as she went to the front of the room. She stood next to her sister slumped over but soon straightened out when her sister cut her a side eye. She could read in Cassandra's eyes what she was bound to say. Alexandra quickly removed her hood and faced everyone. Their jaws dropped and it was complete silence with a few murmurs "they're twins!" . "I am Canssandra Lindenburg. I enjoy meeting others and conversating. I hope that you all will accept me and I shall return the favor." Cassandra's faced never dropped her smile.

How the hell was she able to do it. Almost as if she were a robot. "Looks like we got a pair for the both of us, Jimbo." Gary nudged Jimmy jokingly. "I am Alexandra Lindenburg. You can call me Alex..uh I'm basically an all around type of person so you can find me anywhere." Alexandra shoved her hands in her pockets and shrugged. "Now, are there any differences between the two of you? I'm only asking for the benefit of the students." Ms. Phillips said. "Cassandra is slightly taller than me." Alexandra said. "Alexandra has eyes that are a lighter shade of green than mine." Cassandra added.
