I walked behind Lizzie with Josie next to me as they showed me around the school. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Josie stealing glances at. Smiling I grabbed her wrist pulling her towards me, "Like what you see?" I whispered into her ear. I could feel her face go red again and her eyes wide. She opened her mouth, but quickly closed it again walking quickly to catch up with her sister.
I jogged up to the twins standing by a door. "Done flirting with my sister?" Lizzie asked rudely. I put my finger to my chin in fake thought, "for right now? Yes, but last time I checked it's not illegal to flirt with pretty girls." I said, winking at Josie. Lizzie crossed her arms in disgust and muttered some not-so-nice words at me before opening the door to let me in.
"Honestly Josie, I knew you had bad taste, but really?" I heard Lizzie say.
"Oh shut up," Josie retorted. I smiled lightly to myself before stepping into Headmaster Saltzman's office.
"Hello sir," I said quickly making my way across the office and offering my hand to him, "I'm Penelope Park, the transfer student. I'm supposed to come here and get my schedule."
Mr. Saltzman shook my hand before making his way across the room, "Ah yes Miss Park. I've heard you're very gifted, but of course you know that." He said rustling through a stack of paper. I thought about Josie and her laugh. How could someone so sweet be related to Lizzie? And she calls me satan? Rich, absolutely rich.
Mr. Saltzman waved a schedule in my face knocking me out of my trance. I grabbed and smiled nervously, "Thank you," I said hoping he couldn't tell I had just been trash-talking his daughter in my head.
Trash-thinking?
Heading to my room I walked down the halls past the main living room situation. I walked past the couches to the stairs. I could hear someone following me, but I elected to ignore it. Probably a coincidence. I walked into my room towards my bed. The clicking continued. Just breathe Pen.
Quickly I turned around faster than the person following me to collide into me sending her tumbling the ground.
"What the fuck Josie," I said staring wide-eyed at her. "Language," she groaned rubbing her head. I offered my arm to her and helped her up, apparently, I pulled a little too hard and the taller girl fell into my arms. She immediately pushed away. I smirked, "well hello to you too JoJo," I joked. "Oh shut up," She retorted sitting on my bed still rubbing her forehead. I used a spell I knew to make a cube of ice. Without saying anything I handed it to her. She gratefully took it and sighed contently as the cold made contact with her skin. I sat down next to her nervously fidgetting with my fingers.
"Josie?" I asked, "Why'd you follow me?" She looked over at me and fidgeted. "I don't know, I'm just- I really don't know."
This stuff is usually so easy for me, but I didn't want to just 'fuck around' with Josie. She's too good for that. I looked down at my lap, but before I could say anything to Josie Lizzie burst in causing Josie to stand up quicker than I thought possible.
"Josie, you will not believe what Raphael-" She paused seeing her sister standing by my bed. She fumed, "You need to stay away from my little sister,"
"By a couple of minutes," I heard Josie mumble under her breathe. "Oh yeah?" I challenged, "Why? 'Cause I happen to rather enjoy your sister's company, So please inform me why?"
Lizzie turned her attention to her sister, "Jo you just met her, you don't know her." She said. I was about to blow up at Lizzie when Josie grabbed my hand. She looked at me pleadingly, the anger melted. I took a deep breath and looked back over at Lizzie, "Listen I don't want to fight-" I started, but Lizzie didn't seem to be having a good time, really a shame."Oh really? Based on what I've heard about you I'd figure you would. Josie, if you want to run around with a violent maniac who almost killed someone be my guest, but don't come crying to me when she hurts you! Because I. Warned. You." Lizzie yelled at her twin. I felt the color draining from my face. This was supposed to be my second chance, but now little miss perfect was going to run around telling everybody half of the story, it wasn't fair.
Lizzie had stormed off and Josie was staring at me. I flopped down on the bed and covered my face with my hands. I felt the weight of my bed shift indicating that Josie had sat down next to me. I rolled over so I was facing her while still lying down. Josie slid so she was lying across from me.
"I wanna know what happened," she whispered, "tell me what happened."
