The Perfect Pitch

"Really? Going to an overnight party where sex, drugs and alcohol seems like the only activity being carried out" My mom has been yelling at us for over an hour.

"Mom, we're not kids anymore" I tried to make her understand that we'll be turning nineteen soon.

"I don't care if you're seventy five or thirteen but as long you're living with me, you can't do whatever you please. My mom yelled then she turned to Jace "What got into you that you took your sister to such a party"

"I'm sorry mom" He hid his face in his palm.

"Not as sorry as I am, I'm glad you're leaving. At least I'll be free from your schemes"

"Enough, Jace didn't want to take me but I forced him to. I begged him and you know he can't say no to me. What is wrong with you? I'm starting to think that you are intentionally sending him all the way to Korea" I yelled

"Now you watch your tongue young lady because I won't have you talk to me like that"

"I'll talk to you however I feel like"

"You know what, you're grounded for the next month"

I folded my arms "You can't ground me, you lost the right to do that years ago. Only real mothers get to ground their kids" I slammed her room door and went to mine.

I stared at the walls of my purple room for hours before there was a knock on my door. Jace came in and sat beside me.

"I'm sorry that I'm putting so much pressure on you Jules" He said

"No it's ok, I love you and I'm willing to do anything for you. I don't have much going on as Julian so it won't even make a difference if I'm not around" I hugged him from behind

"I'm leaving tomorrow. Do you want to do anything before then?" His hand was grazing my shoulder.

"Movie night then shopping tomorrow morning" He laughed

"I really have an amazing sister" He hugged me.

The two days before I finally kick off my plan flew like the wind. I left home dressed as Julian but made a quick stop at Darcey's to get changed.

I had to put bandage around my chest to stop my boobs from coming out. I weaved my hair into corn rows before attaching the wig and some pins to my head.

"Oh my word, you look exactly like Jace" Darcey dropped her phone when I came out of the bathroom.

"We're identical twins, it's in the name" I exhaled

"You know we can't hang out for now" She said. My mood saddened when I got a hang of what she was trying to say. Why would the star QB be hanging out with his sister's best friend? It just seems way too fishy.

"It's alright, now let's test my voice" I cleared my throat and leaned in "What's up baby girl?" I leaned on the wall like I was flirting with her.

"Oh wow, you deserve an award for voice imitation. I think you're all set, don't mess this up. I got into Jace's car and drove to school. Time to live a day in Jace's life.

When I stepped out of my car and all the girls were staring at me, I started wondering if one of my boobs were sticking out or something but then I realized that it was just how they looked at him.

I cleared my throat before entering the hall. It's like, I saw school differently. I felt like this really powerful person that nothing could stop from getting what he wants.

I saw Derek and Riley talking beside the notice board. I went to meet them.

"What's up bro?" I said trying to use boy language or whatever they call it.

"Are you ok?" Derek asked

"Of course I'm fine, Do I look different or sick to you?" I was panicking.

"Calm down dude, it's just that you're acting really weird and you never say what's up" Riley said

"Are you wearing pink duck stockings?" Derek pointed to my legs.
I guess I forgot to change my socks.

"Yeah, totally, it's to piss of Julian" I said

"But she's in New Orleans, wasn't that were she chose to go for the survey shit?" Riley asked

"Yeah, um, I'm doing this so that when she gets back, she's going to be super mad"

"Whatever man, I heard Maddie got into trouble and she's on some kind of electrical probation or something like that" Derek said. The bell rang and it was time for first period.

"Dude, where are you going to?" Antonio asked and I looked up to see that I was in front of my classroom. I've forgotten that I have to go to Jace's class.

My whole view of school changed when I entered that class. I only come here during specific classes and it's kind of different from a regular class.

The class was much more reserved and spacious than ours. There were the gossip girls, Sophie, Sandy, Dinaand Avery in front. They have a website where they post news about our school.

Some people I didn't know on the left side. The geek squad was also here and so were the emo. Then from the front of the right wing all the way to the back was the entire football team and cheerleaders.

Laverne was sitting at the back of the class and there was an empty sit beside him. I think that's Jace seat, oh no. Now that I think about it, that is his seat.

I remember he told me once that because he and Laverne always disturb the class, they were both transferred to the back of the class.

I took a sit beside him and he started talking to me about the big game on Friday. He and my brother may be enemies but when it comes to ball, they put their feud aside.

How am I going to survive a week with him? Mr George came into the class.

"Everyone open your geometry textbooks to page 45" He said

"Why don't you open your pants to a living lady? I know you've never done that" Laverne yelled and everyone started laughing.

"At least his not a cheap toy like you" I said and everyone started laughing

"You both realize you're practically the same thing" Emma said, the whole class was silent.

Ouch.

Everyone started throwing paper at her and she was laughing? This class is horrible.

"When you guys are doing being stupid you'll open your....bleh bleh" Mr George held his throat and started coughing. I turned to Riley and saw him holding a spitball gun.

This was a horrible idea.
