Bestfriends With My Doppelganger

Chapter 6

   We sit on the bench, drinking our coffees and enjoying the cool London breeze.

    "Hey there. Illiana right?"

   Deborah approaches us. Marisol raises an eyebrow at her and then looks over at me. "Yeah, hi. Marisol this is Deborah. She's the president of the hall that well live in. You were asleep when she came by this morning" I made the introductions.

     "Hey, nice to meet you formally" Deborah said and she stretched her hand for Marisol to shake it.

    "Yeah, you too" Marisol said.

    "So, we are having a party tonight. To kickstart the school year, it would be nice if you two could come" she said and handed me a flyer.

              Burkley Hall's Annual
            Kickstart the Year Party
    
       Come out and let us celebrate
together, the beginning of our school year. This Saturday Night!

        Venue:- Burkley Hall Gymnasium
         Time:- 8:30 p.m till you say when.

     It was a plain yellow paper with writing. Nothing fancy or pretty about it.

    "I guess we could be there, we dont have any plans after all" I said and handed her the paper back.

   "Looking forward to seeing you girls there. See you soon" she says and walks away, handing out the flyers that she held.

   "If we're going to that party I'm going to need something to wear. We're gonna have to go shopping" she says and she stands to her feet.

   "You done eating?" I ask. She nods her head and stuffs the empty baking paper into the empty coffee cup. I hurry up and finish my drink before I join her in returning to our room.

     "So, where are we going?" I ask. I go to the bathroom and wash my face and brush my hair as a means of freshening up. I also brush my teeth  because I didn't want to have bad coffee breath.

    "We've got to go into town. I'm gonna give my brother a call to see if he could come and get us" she says and I nod. I lay on my bed and start scrolling through my phone.

    It's now a little past 11, which means it's now 5 a.m back home. Too early to call, I know Anna is probably still asleep too. I hate this off timing.

   I quickly sent her a message. "Hey Anna Banana, I called mom but you weren't there. Call me when you wake up ok".
  
      She claims to hate it when I call her Anna Banana but I know that's a lie because I always see her smiling. I even overheard her once telling dad that I'm the only person to call her that but I just laughed to myself and didn't make it clear that I had heard.

   "He says that he'll be here in about 30 minutes" Marisol says and then she too lays down and starts scrolling through her phone.

     "Oh and he's taking his girlfriend along with him. Just a heads up" she says to me. "That's ok. Is she nice?" I ask.

     "Absolutely, she's the best. She treats me so well, she's like the big sister I never had" Marisol said, sitting up so fast and swinging her legs over the edge of the bed.

     "Oh, that's good. I was just wondering because you said you were giving me a 'heads up' ", I said to her.

      "Oh no, I was just letting you know that we were going to have extra company. I cant wait for you to meet them" she says.

   I smile at her and then lay down fully on my back with my phone raised above my face, and what happens? It falls splat into my face.

    I let out a groan and Marisol starts laughing. "I hate when that happens" she laughs and I join in on her laughter.

    "Its the worse" I say and I sit up, rubbing my nose. "Come on, let's go. He should be arriving a time now" she says.

   I go to the closet and get my cross shoulder purse. I put my cellphone inside, a $50 bill and my debit card. My parents always taught me that even though you may have your card you should still walk with hard cash in case of emergencies.

      "Ready to go?" she asks, positioning her own cross shoulder bag on her shoulder. "Yeah come on".

      We exit the room and go out into the hall. As we turn the corner and enter the main entrance hall I see the girl from he coffee shop. She sees me as well and starts walking over to me.

    "Hey, I'm sorry for coming off as weird this morning but you look so much like my friend. You guys are practically identical. I would love it if you two could meet" she says and I see Marisol frown a bit.

   "Um, ok I guess, but not right now. I'm actually headed somewhere" I say and she nods in understanding.

   "Will you be at the party tonight?" she asks. "Um, yea actually" I say and she smiles before walking away.

   "Can that girl get anymore weird?" Marisol speaks as we begin walking again. "She's just friendly that's all. Although she's a little too friendly if you ask me" I say.

    "That's for sure" Marisol giggles and I look behind me at her retreating figure. She turns the corner and goes down the B side of the hall. I guess she lives in this hall as well.

      We exit the hall and go out to the big gates. We stand for about 5 minutes before a sleek black Audi A3 pulled up at our feet with the top down.

    "Marisol" he called out and smiled. He had a spanish slur in the way he spoke. "Devaughn, you had me here waiting so long" Marisol said and I noticed she had spoke with a spanish accent behind her tone just now.

     He got out of the car and hugged his sister. He was tall and had a muscular body but he wasn't overly bulky. He had caramel coloured eyes and the same hair texture as his sister, only his was cut short.

     "te extraño tanto. ¿Cómo están mamá y papá?" he spoke to his sister.
(I miss you so much. How are mom and dad?)

      "Ellos estan bien (They are fine). Devaughn this is Illiana, my roommate. Illiana this is Devaughn my older brother" she introduces us.

    "Encantada de conocerte Illiana (Nice to meet you Illiana)" he speaks and I reach out to shake his hand.

    "El placer es mío (The pleasure is mine)" I say and he smiles brightly.

   "You speak spanish! I like her already" he exclaimed then looked towards his sister and said the last part. I chuckled at this and Marisol laughed too.

     "Where's Bella?" Marisol asked. We both got into the back seat, leaving the front seat empty. "Am I that ugly, none of you don't wanna ride shotgun?" he joked. He got into the driver's seat and restarted the engine.

   "Well when you guys called we were already at the mall so I left her there and came and got you two" he spoke.

   The wind blew threw my hair and it was whipping behind me. It felt so good.

    "I love your car Devaughn" I said to him. I was a fan of luxury vehicles. They're just so sexy, to me anyways.

    "Thank you, she's my baby" he said and ran his hand across the dashboard.

    "Wait till you see my car" Marisol says and she goes into a mini debate about who's car is better with her brother.

    I just turn my head to the side and enjoy the breeze and the scenery we pass by.
