The Shadow

April

I was waiting for Ella to answer my question, but she just stood there quietly, "so? Where were you?" I asked once again. "I... I was with a boy" she stuttered, I laughed "very funny" I said "where were you really?" She rolled her eyes at me and went upstairs into our room, I followed her.

"Seriously Ella, where were you?" I said, almost losing my temper. "I was with a boy!" She yelled, "look, he gave me this necklace" Ella showed me the silver plated necklace with the paintbrush charm.

She was actually with a boy... My sisters was actually with a boy! I squealed excitedly and hugged her, "what's his name? How did you meet him? Does he go to our school?" I asked.
She told me she didn't want to talk about it right now, so I decided to give her some time, and left her alone.

There was a knock at the door, "coming!" I yelled as I paused the movie I was watching, I opened the door to see an unfamiliar boy standing there "you have the wrong house" I told him. "No I don't" he replied "I'm here to see Ella" I then realised he was the boy Ella was seeing, I told him Ella wasn't home and slammed the door shut, I turned around and stood there in disbelief, I believed Ella was with a boy, but I didn't think she meant an attractive boy!

I had an idea, I quickly opened the door, "hey!" I yelled to the boy who was now walking down the street, he turned around, I ran out and kissed him, he pulled away, and looked confused "Ella is my twin" I told him "but trust me when I say I'm more fun" then leaned in to kiss him again, but he pushed me off, "I prefer Ella" he told me as he continued walking down the street.

Now I was mad, how could anyone prefer Ella to me?

I went back inside, and into mine and Ella's room, "Ella, back off" I said aggressively "he's too good for you"
She looked me up and down and laughed "he just texted me, told me what happened between you two, you're pathetic, he wants me, not you. Now get out" she yelled as she shoved me out of the room and locked the door.

"This means war" I whispered to myself as I went downstairs.
