20 more days to go....
*Flashback*
"I cannot believe I left my favourite lip-gloss at home" I groaned to myself as I and Rainer walked hand in hand into school.
As usual, people give us envious glares, respectful stares and smiles of adoration. It's easy to make an entrance when you come as a matching set and to top it all off; we're the children of one of the most powerful men in the country. We were living the life every normal 16 year old would dream of.
I noticed Rainer had his head stuck in the clouds as usual. It's nothing new but I'm in the middle of a beauty crisis and I need help from my twin.
"Rainer!!!" I snapped
He flinched in shock then came back to reality.
"Yes love"
"What are you thinking about?"
"I am simply observing"
Oh no. Here he comes with the weird deep talk again. I rolled my eyes.
"What now?"
"Take a look at people and their friends"
I looked around the hallway and saw people in the various cliques and groups. Nothing special. Rainer and I didn't need friends. We had each other and that is definitely more than enough. We only hung out with top elites in our social group so I don't get what's the big deal about friendship that he is trying to prove.
"Elaborate please" I sighed "I don't speak weird"
"What is the point of friendship really?"
I shrugged
"I don't know. Loyalty, good selfies, shopping partners, blah blah blah"
Rainer shook his head
"Isn't it funny how we spend our lives forming friendships when in reality we're just gathering guests for our funeral?"
* End of flashback*
I kept my hands in my pockets as I walked down the hallway, the flashback forming heavily my mind, memories of my brother forever kept alive. I never understood what he meant back then but now I think I get it.
As I walked, I let my eyes roam down the corridor taking note of the various cliques left to right; Cindy and her minions, Jomar and the jocks, the nerds laughing at a comic book, the cheerleaders, the populars and so on.
What is the point really? Do half of these people know the true meaning of friendship? Or do they think friendship is all about going shopping together, texting each other the latest gossip, saying hi to each other every morning and sitting together at lunch?
"Don't be a hypocrite Ruby" my subconscious mocked me "you are no different"
Damn it! She's right.
"Hey there, Ruby" a voice said beside me
It was Jomar. He put his hand around my shoulder
"Hey you" I answered
"What's up?"
"Oh nothing. Just trying to make it to my class in one piece"
"School is hard" he wailed "I just might end up becoming a prostitute"
I laughed
"What's funny?" he asked "I'm sexy"
"Of course you are"
