Chapter 2

Again and again, Josie closed her eyes at breakfast. As Lizzie was just telling her something, the brunette had turned her head to the side, hoping that her twin sister didn't notice that she was only partially listening to her. She also kept nodding in some places to avoid possible questions from her sister. Even if it didn't feel that way in the beginning, she was now missing the lost sleep. However, she didn't like the thought of falling asleep when there was a chance that another nightmare might be waiting for her. So she simply had no choice but to try to stay awake.

"I thought that it was only my perception that I find you boring", a voice sounded in that moment that Josie knew only too well: "But if you manage to almost put your sister to sleep with your jabbering, that's probably confirmation that it's all up to you."

Penelope Park leaned demonstratively on the tabletop, looking back and forth between the twins. When the voice of her ex had sounded, Josie had abruptly raised her head and gave her a look that was a mixture of anger and the request not to betray her. Why did her ex-girlfriend still have it in for her twin sister? Even after they were separated. Although she knew herself that Lizzie and Penelope had never really liked each other, she had never really known the reason why.

"What are you talking about, Satan?", Lizzie asked in a derogatory tone and looked out of the corner of her eye at Josie before looking at Penelope.
"About your sister not listening to your self-involved bullshit. But who could, 24 hours a day. After all, the only thing you think about is you", the dark-haired woman replied with a shrug of the shoulders before she looked at Josie: "Right, Jojo?"

Inside Josie, everything contracted and she tensed up slightly. Why had Penelope only had to join them at that moment?! Because Lizzie would never have noticed on her own that she only listened to their stories in passing. But if she was honest, somehow 'Satan' was right. Lizzie often talked only about herself, and she barely noticed when Josie herself had something on her mind.

But Penelope would not let her triumph over being right. She had already tried far too often to break up the sisters and hurt Lizzie's feelings knowingly. And Josie, too, had finally betrayed her. So it was hard for her to believe that the teenager had something good in mind at that moment.

For a moment she looked over at Lizzie and automatically she started to grind her jaws slightly. But then he looked back at Penelope and when their eyes met, Penelope winked at her while the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. Penelope had always had her charms, but at that moment it was not hard for her to resist.

"No, you're wrong, Penelope", she replied with a firm look and her tone became harsh: "And maybe it would be better if you stayed out of my affairs. After all, we're not together anymore."
For some time, she had been bothered by Penelope talking about her sister and having to keep provoking the twins. But something had kept her from saying it ever since they separated.

"Whatever you say, Jojo", Penelope replied surprisingly relaxed and with a broad smile on her lips before turning to Lizzie: "See you, ladies."
With these words, she released her hands from the table on which she had leaned and then moved away from us, towards her usual place in the dining room.

As soon as Penelope took a few steps away from them, Lizzie gave a slight sigh.
"We're rid of her at last", she muttered as she began to eat her breakfast. In reply, however, her sister only gave her a nod, as something else suddenly caught her attention at that moment.

When Josie passed the blonde, she saw Hope Mikaelson standing in the entrance to the big room, her eyes wandering over the other students. She had often noticed that the Tribrid seemed to be more of a loner. For a moment her eyes met and she thought she noticed a little smile on Hope's lips, which she could not quite interpret.

"What are you looking at - ?", Lizzie asked a question as she turned around to see what was attracting her sister's attention. But before she had uttered her last word, an unsatisfied sound elicited from her: "Oh, God, please don't."
The brunette immediately averted her gaze from the girl and looked back at her sister instead.
"If she comes here now, I'm going to explode", it was clear in her voice that she was not at all pleased.
"Don't worry, she won't",she replied quickly to avoid further trouble: "She can't stand us any more than we like her."
