Today was the hottest day of the year and I was conflicted. Should I wear a tank top and shorts and be labelled as a slut even more than a regular day, or should I wear a hoodie and jeans? I thought about it for a minute or so and decided to wear the former. How much worse can it get? Rumours will always be swirling around no matter what I wear anyway.
"Olivia hurry up! We're going to be late! you're so slow! "Jeremy called out
"Shut up Jer! I'm coming down "I shouted back
Jer was my twin brother and I was older by three minutes. Both of us had brown hair and blue eyes. We were both on the soccer team so we were both pretty fit. He was muscular while I was toned. He was 6"2 and I was 5"6.We both loved to play sports and were pretty decent at most sports. While he had both dimples, I had none and Jer loved to taunt me about that.
I came down to see my parents in the kitchen. Dad was towering over mom with bread in his mouth and mum sipping her coffee. Mason was eating cereal along with Jeremy. Mason was only eight so Jer was cleaning up after him. Mason looked exactly like Jer. He was pretty much baby Jer and he knew it. He used his looks to get what he wants. He can be charming and sweet but annoying when he doesn't get what he wants. I grabbed an apple and texted Jace to honk his car if he was outside. As if on cue, I heard Jace's car honking outside.
"There's Jace kiddos." Mum clarified as she shoved me and Jer out the door
I notice Jace's black Ford Mustang, Betty, was empty. Usually there was Jordie my only girl best friend sitting there. Jace was one of my best friends, we met in the third grade and he's never left my side since then. He was a bit of a player but loyal when he has girlfriends. He's never single for longer than two weeks. His brown hair and soulful blue eyes gave off an innocent puppy vibe that all the girls loved
"where's Jordie?" Jer questioned
"ooh she's sick" Jace clarified
"Sick of what? Your car? And is she seriously leaving me with u idiots!?" I jokingly cried out
"Hey! You have to love me I am your twin!"
" Yeah! And I've known you for 10 years. I'm pretty sure you're used to me. And by the way don't hate on my baby. It's a 2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1, it's a good car that I bought with my own money." Jace boasted as he fist-bumped Jer
"Yeah well—" I said as a car honked at us. Oh no. It was those two girls. Sandy and Jasmine. The two girls I dreaded. They bullied me with no motives. They bullied me to the ends of the Earth and I was too much of a coward to say anything. They knew things that they could use against me. How? They used to be my best friends. The three of us were inseparable. We were attached by the hip. Until, I found out all this time they told people about my struggles and were gossiping about me. Now they dominated the schools as your typical mean girl. You know the ones that wear basically nothing. The ones that make everyone feel bad about themselves. Yeah, they were those girls. I used to stand up for myself until one day. They decided to spill some of my biggest and darkest secret. Then, I stopped.
We arrived at the school parking lot and stepped out of the car. Sandy and jasmine had already arrived, parking in their usual spot. Right at the center of the lot. They swayed their hips as they walked past me, smirking at me on the way. I was used to it but it still annoyed me. They liked to make my life hell. They pretended to be nice to me but always bully me when no-one is around. They like spreading rumors about how I slept with every boy in the school but pretended to not know the rumors. They pretended that they weren't the ones spreading the rumors. They were two faced and they loved it
-flashback insert-
I stepped out of the closet with a tight green dress that made me feel like a mermaid and showed it off to Sandy and Jasmine. I was sure they thought the same since I've lost 5kg within the week.
