Heart & Soul

Roman

I'll do my best to crank out a chapter per week.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Emo Nightmare, Microsoft Nerd, Jack the Fibber, and Dukey trailed after me, leaving Newsie Hipster Theater Geek at his dorm. I led the way to Screamin' Beans, one of the best locations in town. Spreading out our plans for the project, I dug out my wallet and a pencil case from my duffel bag. After setting down the items in my hand to keep the paper from rolling up, I marched up to the rather charming barista, Virgil following me. I ordered for myself, Janus, and Remus. I looked at Virgil expectantly. He didn't even look at me and he quickly responded with two orders. I stood off to the side with Virgil. I stood there like a doof as he scrolled through Tumblr. I took the dumb route and asked, "Whatcha reading?" He looked up defensively, shoved his phone in his pocket, and flitted his eyes around the building. "N-Nothing. Our order is ready." Suspicious, but I didn't have time to investigate. As the older twin, I'm supposed to inherit the company, but with my grades... Let's just say my future isn't that bright. My grades are riding on this project. If I didn't get this done... No time to dwell on that! I marched over to our table with our food and drink in hand. After handing out various scones and drinks, I started sketching out an outline for the film project. "Who wants to act? Remus, Virgil?" Rmeus nodded. "Fine." Virgil stood in shock as I grinned. "B-But I can't sing." Clearly hoping to get out of it. "No can do, Hot Topic. I've heard you sing." He was taken aback. "What? When?" I chuckled. "You do realize that when I blast Melanie Martinez, I can hear you singing along, right? Your rendition of Detention is awesome, my dude. There is no way in hell I'm keeping you out of this."
