The Tale of Two Twins

Chapter 3: Disturbance in Heaven and Hell

"Guys! Wait up!" Andy then grabbed all her belongings and ran to catch up with them before they left the room completely.

The boys continued to float out of the room, trying their best not to give Andy any attention. They wanted nothing to do with her obscure philosophies and redundant inquiries.

"Guys!" Andy said while jogging even faster to catch up with the two.

Jack looked over at his twin and sighed as they floated to their lockers. "Looks like our whole idea of 'going unnoticed' this year has gone up in flames. Literally."

Ash looked back at Jack as they unlocked their lockers to get out their materials for their next class, "I guess so. Our whole new life idea has been frozen and gone up in flames..."

Andy had finally reached the two and stopped, placing her hands on her knees to catch her breath, "You two" pant, "Should try out for some kind of team here based on how fast you guys float." She finally regained her composure as she glanced at the two and continued, "Was it something I said?" She asked them because of their basic sprint out of the classroom.

Ash rolled his eyes as Jack turned with a small smile on his face, "I-it's just we were trying so hard to go unnoticed this school year... and I guess with us being us and our family being what it is, we can't just fly under the radar." Jack sighed to himself.

"Well, you two are in fact THE Reaper twins..." Andy replied with a huge smile on her face.

"It would be great if you would stop pointing out the obvious... I swear... " Ash mumbled the last part under his breath before continuing. "Look, we just want a peaceful year without much going on. Seeing as the fact that we are even here, it's not gonna happen. So if you would move, my brother and I would like to get to Art without much drama."

"Well, do you need help finding Ar-" Andy started before Ash cut her off.

"No," Ash said sternly.

Andy stared with wide eyes as Jack slowly hung his head, and didn't really have a response, knowing that what his brother had said, was in fact, exactly what he had been thinking.

"O-Okay... I'll just leave the two of you alone for now, I guess... " Andy replied before heading toward the bathrooms to get changed for her swim class.

Jack sighed, looking in the direction of her retreating back as he heard her footsteps getting quieter the further she walked away, knowing that he and his twin had upset the poor girl.

"Well, off to class!" Ash smiled as he and Jack floated into the art room. Jack rolled his eyes while they were still closed before walking into the class and taking a seat behind a blank canvas beside his brothers.

"Hello everyone! Today you all will be copying what I am doing on my own canvas. So it will be great to have your eyes open and ready as we paint." The teacher wasted no time pointing out the fact that the two new boys in the back of her classroom had their eyes closed. "I know that at your old school, you may have been able to get away with your eyes closed, but that will NOT be happening in my class. And for the record, if you would like to write a letter to your parents about my fantastic teaching," The strange woman flipped her long blond curls over her shoulder before continuing, "My name is Ms. Khist. So if you would like to focus now, you may."

The duo looked back at each other before opening their eyes and paying attention with a frightened expression on their faces.

"Ya know, I also think it would be a good idea to separate you two so you guys can get an idea of who your classmates will be." their new teacher said with a wide grin on her face.
