The Tale of Two Twins

Chapter 7: New Encounter

Walking into the Math classroom was no different from walking into English classroom. It had a board at the front of the classroom, the door located at the back of the room, and desks facing the board with the teacher desk about 10 feet from the board and facing the class. Ash took an empty seat and hoped that no one sat there and just wasn't in class yet. The odds were in his favor because, to his luck, no one sat there. The bell rang and the class officially began.

"Ok, so we have new students. I believe their names are..." The teacher would look down at her attendance list. "The Reaper twins. Ashton and Jackson Reaper?" the teacher looked up from her desk to see a hand raised.

"That'd be me.  Ashton, Ash for short." Ash put his hand down.

"Ok, Mr. Ash. Wheres Jackson?" the teacher said looking around the room.

Ash would shrug. "To be honest with you, I don't know. After the fight we had in the lunchro- I MEAN, the argument we had in our dorm, I haven't seen him"

"Well, then he's absent." The teacher made a mark on her paper. "Now, I am Miss Wiskunde. I will be your math teacher for the rest on the year." Miss. Wiskunde said looking straight at Ash. Ash would give a thumbs up to indicate that he heard what the teacher said to him. The teacher would then continue. Math was pretty uneventful and time seemed to fly by. One out of three classes so far went normally. It was a nice change of pace for our younger twin, Ash. Once the bell rang. Ash gathered his belongings and headed for his locker.

Once at his locker, he opened it, threw the book he no longer needed into it, and pulled out his Government book. After he got the book out, He closed the locker then continued to float to his next class which happened to be past the lunch room. When he passed the lunchroom, he could feel several teachers presence surrounding the ice dome, including, Mrs. Komenco.

"Shit..." Ash thought to myself as he tried to shield his face from the crowd of staff. He then sensed his twin coming down the stairs leading to the dorms. Once Jack sensed the teachers and his ice dome still standing, he tried to turn around unnoticed but Mrs. Komenco saw him and demanded him over by her.

"Care to explain?" Mrs. Komenco had her arms crossed looking straight at Jack.

"Explain?..." Jack tried to play dumb.

"THE DOME!"

"Ohhhhhhhh, the dome. Right. About that... I um..." Jack was cut off.

"Fix it now."

"Yes ma'am" Jack sensed his twin nearby and rushed over to him. "Ashton! Ash! Ashy Boi! Ash man! Ash-anator! A-"

"No." Ash cut Jack off.

"Asht-"

"I said, no." Ash cut his twin off once again.

"Ashton, please" Jack would make a praying position with his hands.

"What did I tell you?... Hmm?" Ash opened his eyes to look at Jack.

"I know what you told me but-" Jack sensed his twin opened his eyes so he did the same.

"Ah! What did I tell you?" Ash had one eyebrow raised.

Jack would make a sigh of defeat. "That you weren't going to clean up my mess"

"And what are you asking me to do?"

"Yeah but-" Ash would cut him off with a stern look. Jack would sigh again before taking his sentence in a different direction. "To clean up my mess..."

"Now, you think that I'm going to do it?" Ash crossed his arms.

"Ashton please!" Jack was practically begging Ash at this point.

"WHAT do you think I am going to do?"

Jack would sigh once again. "Not help me... Ash, I'm sorry. I was being childish and I know I should have just let it go" Jack was now admitting defeat.

"Good" Ash would make a blast of fire to begin melting down the ice dome. In a matter of seconds, the ice was melted into a giant puddle on the floor.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" Jack would hug Ash.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, now get off of me." Ash would try and push Jack away. Mrs, Komenco walked over to the boys while Ash was in the process of prying Jack off of him. Once she was in front of the boys, she was tapping her foot out of anger and seemed to crap the floor every time she did so.

"And this flooded mess?!" Mrs. Komenco said with crossed arms.
Ash shook his head vigorously. "No, no, nope. Don't look at me. Your boy is Jack this time"

The principal would be holding the temples of her forehead now. "You guess do relieve you haven't even been here a full 24 HOURS?! CORRECT?!"

Jack cowered behind his younger twin with his hands on his shoulders and his head poking out behind Ash's left shoulder.

Ash spoke. "Yes, and you do realize I have class? Correct?" Ash opened his eyes knowing that his twin was right behind him due to Jack's cowering. Ash looked the principal in the eyes, half closed, and drowse, showing the principal he did not have any interest in the topic of the conversation.

"THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" Mrs. Komenco pulled out a crooked stick the Ash started laughing at.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You don't think that you are going to change my mind with a stick, do you?" Ash would continue to laugh.

The principal waved the 'crooked stick' around and the boys vanished.

The boys were sent to a room with a large metal door. This room was completely black was a single lantern located in the middle of the room.

"So... She's a witch..." Jack would try to laugh it off but his attempt at doing so would fail. Ash looked at him with a look stating that 'you-have-5-seconds-to-live' so, in response, Jack stood up and ran to avoid is brothers rath. Jack ended up being very unsuccessful.
