The Bunnies and the Wolves

The Rose twins

Lilliana and Martin walked slowly to school. Both of their hands were tightly clasped together. They both felt dread wash over them as they got closer. Lilliana wore a black shirt with red mid rise bell bottoms. Martin chose to go a similar route with a similar shirt and red slacks. The twins were often stared at when they walked around Derry. It was the 80's after all. Two negro children walking around a town like Derry main was a sight to behold. While most of the adults where tolerant of them they're where some that hated the two with a burning passion.

The twins approached the school in silence. Martin looked Lilliana in the eyes before letting go of her hands. He gave her a pat on the head feeling her cotton candy hair under his fingers. He gave her a knowing glance.

"Lily pad" Martin said. His voice was always a bit more feminine.

"Lily Pad, the bowers gang are always more interested in bugging me so after school I'm gonna walk off before you so they follow me instead." As soon as martin finished speaking he gave a small smile that could only be described as melancholy.

"Martin we have to stick together no matter what. Wherever you are I'll be their. If you're always protecting me then who will be protecting you?" Lilliana's voice held a slightly frightened vibrato.

Martin and Lillian rejoined hands once more and walked into the school. Since they both had enrolled later than most students their lockers were right next to each other.

"Lily pad, I forgot my combo again..." Martins ears turned a bit red from embarrassment.

"Well if it isn't the Incest twins!" Shouted a shrill voice.

Lily and Martin shifted their attention from the dark blue lockers to a Greta Thunberg. Greta was never the best looking person. She caked her face in makeup too much and didn't really know what "too much eye shadow" meant. Greta then shifted her gaze from Lilliana to Martin.

Martin was what they would call a pansy though they had no real evidence that he was a Homosexual. Martin just looked exactly like his sister. He took all his mother's features but none of his fathers. So he was exactly like his sister but had no breast or ovaries.

"Why hello their girly boy! Tell me nigger faggot do you enjoy having dick in your face all the time?" Greta's words not only cut through Martin but drew out laughter causing Martin to feel even smaller than before.

"Leave him alone Greta! You're just a mean, mean person!" Lilliana said while glaring at Greta.

Before it could further escalate the bell rang.

"See ya later niggers" Was the last thing Greta said to them for the rest of the day.

Lilliana looked fearfully at her twin. Unlike their looks their schedules were not almost identical. They shared only two out of their 8 periods together. The two siblings shared a comforting hug before going their separate ways.

Lilliana was a great student. After getting B's and A's and the occasional A+. Her favorite class was her English class. They were currently reading the crucible. Lilliana despite enjoying it did not enjoy her role as Tetuba. The teacher gave specific students parts and she for an OBVIOUS reason was Tetuba. She didn't like it when she read because she could feel his eyes on her. Luckily today wasn't a reading day but rather a open study day before the test which meant the teacher left the class for a "coffee break" and let the kids "study." Lilliana hated the study days.

"Nigger gimme your notes" Lilliana knew that gruff voice perfectly now.

Without arguing she gave up her notes. Henry snatches the notes from her hands. His eyes looked at her in a predatory manner almost as scary as Patrick Hockstetters.
