The Tale of Two Twins

Chapter 5: Ladies Man

"Why can't I just sit down and eat lunch? Why do I have to have a twin? Why do me and my twin have to be complete opposites? Why couldn't we have gotten both of mom and dads powers like every NORMAL twin out there? Why is my family so dysfunctional? Why won't people just leave me the hell alone?" Ash thought to himself over and over and over again.

"OMG! I've heard about you guys! I didn't really think that you two were real!" A random girl said from behind Jack.

Jack turned around and looked in the direction of the girl, trying to keep his emotions in check and poked his brother in the ribs before replying, "I believe we are real and always have been or else our whole life has been a lie..."

A different girl standing behind Jack spoke. "OMG! Can I poke him?!"

Ash dropped his fork into his lunch and spun around to look at the girl. "Um, fuck no you can't poke me! I don't know what you think this is but it sure as hell ain't 'poke-the-shit-outta-Ash-day".

"Can we just back up and leave them alone?" Andy was right next to Jack when she suggested the idea to the group of girls.

"Um, who are you?" the same girl behind jack said.

"That's Jacks girl toy," Ash said with a mouthful of food and pointing his fork at her.

"Um, what?!" Andy's voice got higher.

"ASHTON! SHUT UP!" Jack was beyond irritated with Ash's response.

"I am so not in the mood for this." Ash got up and floated to the trash bin.

"ASHTON!" Jack said floating after him, leaving his food, Andy, and the group of girls behind.

Ashton threw his food away and pulled out his phone, plugged in some earbuds, and started listening to music.

"ASHTON!" Jack was right in front of his brother now. "ASHTON!"

Ash took out one of his earbuds. "Don't call me that." Ash then plugged his earbud back in, floated around Jack, and started to float towards his locker. Jack stayed where he was for a second.

"ASHTON! YOU'RE PISSIN' ME OFF!" Jack hadn't turned around yet.

Ash didn't hear his brother and continued with his float.

Jack then spun around, throwing a snowball at the back of Ash's head that he had just formed.

Ash spun around slowly after his brother hit him. "Really?"

"Take it back," Jack said with clenched fists.

"Pardon?" Ash said turning off his music and unplugging his earbuds to out them back in his pocket.

"Take. It. Back." said Jack.

"No." Ash retorted

"Take it back you bastard." Jack was getting angrier by the second.

"Why sho-" Ash got cut off by a flying icicle being thrown at his face. Before it was within five feet of him, he sensed it and created a fireball to destroy it. Ash was untouched. "I refuse to fight with you." Ash then continued to walk.

Jack opened his eyes, "I don't care. You're going to take it back." The crowd of girls, including Andy, that was around the boys while eating, started to form a circle around Jack and Ash. Not only were the girls surrounding the two, but so was the entire cafeteria of students.

"Close your eyes and I'm not doing this with you." Ash floated to the edge of the crowd in hopes that they would move over for him. They did not. By now, Ash started to form flames around himself uncontrollably due to his brother's eyes being open. Jack had started to shoot ice spikes out of the ground against his own will. "Bruh, I'm not playing your games! Close your fucking eyes!" He then paid his attention to the crowd. "Can you all not?" Ash was irritated with his brother's childish ways and just wanted to go to his locker. Before Ash got a chance to say anything else, his brother formed an ice dome around them. "You're such a child."

"I'm a child? You're the child! Making idiotic remarks that you know are a damn lie!" Jack began to form ice shards hovering over his hards.

"I might not open my eyes but I can sure as heck see when you have a thing for someone who you JUST MET MIGHT I ADD!" Ash opened his eyes to face his brother whose face was turning red from rage.

" I DON'T LIKE HER LIKE THAT YOU PRICK!" Jack then flung the ice shards he had been forming in his hands. Ash stopped meditating and landed on his feet to dodge Jack's attack.

"Get over it dude, it's my opinion and I'm not changing it." Ash stood on his two feet in a defensive position. "I am not going to fight you, idiot! I'm over you losing your temper and I want to be left alone. So do me a major favor and drop your ice shield." Ash released his defensive stance and just stood there, flames and ice still growing because of the distance the boys were at. People outside of the ice dome were cheering on the twins. Some on Jack's side and others on Ash's.

"I am not putting it down nor closing my eyes until you take it back. How could anyone have a thing for someone when they had just met them?" Jack replied, trying to calm himself.

"I don't know. You tell me. Cause you sure as hell have done it." Ash had a look of disappointment on his face. "I can't read your mind. I don't have twin telepathy." Ash started walking towards Jack. "Just because I am the demon, people think that I am the bad one out of the two of us. We both know that you're worse than me, and now, so do they." Ash the gestured to the people around him.

"Ash, is it even possible to have a thing for someone just after meeting them? Also, why are you deciding to point all of this out now and not when we are alone together?" Jack slowly closed his eyes in disappointment. "We just started school here and you really want to start something as soon as we start school here? How about that new start we talked about, huh?" He finished while looking in the direction of Ash.

Ash followed his brother in closing his eyes. "I'm the one starting something? This is coming from the guy that came after me cause I wouldn't take back what I said. Don't ridicule me angel boy." Ash then went back in his floating meditating position and floated to the edge of the ice dome that was facing the stairs to the lockers. He melted a small portion to let himself out and, needless to say, the crowd parted ways for him. "And I am not cleaning up your mess."

The crowd cheered as Jack stood is his ice dome with one side having a small melted hole in it and Ash floating to his locker. Nothing the boys did seemed to bring the crowd down. The girls stilled loved them. Of course, they had their bias between the two and choose sides but, in the end, no one was mad at that boys except for themselves... And maybe Andy.
