The Russo sister’s rounded the corner into their homeroom and greeted there teacher with a smile and a nod.
“Ah, you two must be Sapphire and Sophia Russo. Correct?” Mrs O’Brien asked as she stood from her seat.
“Yes, that is correct,” the violet eyed sister replied in a strong British accent.
“Which one of you is Sapphire?”
“That would be me ma’am,” the violet eyed sister replied nodding her head.
“So that means you must be Sophia,” Mrs O’Brien said turning towards the crystal blue eyed sister.
“Correct,” Sophia replied in an equally strong British accent.
“Here’s your schedules,” she said handing a folded piece of paper to each of them. “Take a seat anywhere you are comfortable.”
The sisters nodded before retreating to the back of the classroom in the middle two rows. The class soon started to pile in for morning registration. Looking at the two new girls sitting at the back of the classroom. Sapphire and Sophia didn’t seem fazed by this as they greeted everyone with a small smile before sitting in silence again. Their backs straight. Hands folded on the table in front of them as they looked straight to the front of the classroom.
“Who are the new kids?” a nerdy looking brunette girl asked someone nearby as she walked into the classroom.
“I don’t know,” a boy replied.
“Brooke, sit down please,” Mrs O’Brien said.
Brooke nodded and then took a seat on the front row by the window.
“Today we have two new members joining the senior year as I’m sure you have all noticed. Sapphire and Sophia Russo. I want you to make them feel welcome.”
Everyone’s eyes immediately landed on Sapphire and Sophia.
“Why don’t you introduce yourselves so the class can know a bit more about you both,” Mrs O’Brien said.
“Hello, my names Sapphire. I’m 18 and from England. When I’m older I want to work in science. I also love animals,” Sapphire smiled.
“I’m Sophia. Sapphires twin which means I am also 18. Unfortunately she is older than me by three minutes. I’m not sure what work I want to do when I’m older,” Sophia said.
“Do you mind if the class ask you some questions?”
“No, not at all,” Sapphire replied. “Ask away.”
All the questions started to come at once but the sisters seemed to take them all in as they were fired at them and waited until they were all finished before Sapphire replied.
“We’re from London and we moved over here from England because of our fathers work. He got offered a job on the set of a film and he didn’t want to turn it down. He’s a set designer and yes we do have a sibling – we have an older brother.”
“You didn’t answer my question,” the nerdy girl, Brooke, stated.
“I’m sorry. What was your question?” Sapphire asked sending a small smile her way.
