Spot the Liar

TWIN

AUGUST 15, 2009

Bela's POV

I got awakened by the loud music that always woke me up that morning, knowing my twin and i are sleeping in the same bedroom. I tried to snuggle on my long pillow longing for more sleep but i realized that something is different and it's not the same usual morning. The sound that is being playing right now is not pop or indie at all, it's almost like an old vintage song that gives me a creepy vibes. Seating up with confusion inside me as she opened bathroom door then look at me with smilling face as always makes me feel at ease somehow, I knock that thought in my head and told to myself maybe she just wanted something new.

Before i could even get my headphones like i always do, i heard her loud happy voice saying

"GOOD MORNING MY TWIN"said

and hug me tightly as if we haven't met for long. I just hug her back quickly and get myself ready, while i entered the bathroom as she continues singing.

I went outside immediately after i finish getting ready then go straight and into our car while waiting for her to finish his morning routine.

If you have seen me and her you might already know that we are Identical Twins, but seemingly has are different to each other. She is Amina her name sounds more unique and not so girly like mine which is Bela, She is the sunshine in our family, having to be a positive and girly women you can have while i am the opposite. I look back into our house and saw her scared expression which makes me curious again but the same moment she saw me her face change into a usual smile face.

She walks elegantly towards our car wearing a pink dress that is still school appropriate as i look into myself who is wearing a black big jacket matching my black pants and shoes. The usual outfit i wear while we don't have any school uniform.

We got into school at 8 am which is still early fo our 8:30 am class, I look at my twin who is still smilling but i felt something is different about her body posture. She grab my arm then whisper to my ears,

"Can we swap our clothes, i think i have my period now" said

I look at her with disbelief and sigh because what can i do, she's my twin that needs help. I don't want her outfit but i also don't want her to feel uncomfortable while wearing a dress.

We got into the bathroom as we swap the clothes, i felt the regret but feels good at the same time when i look at my twin who is feeling comfortable with my clothes on her. It's now 8:15 when she walk inside the classroom not minding the guy infront of the door then ifollowed her and said sorry to the poor guy but he didn't seem to notice me but because his eyes are fully focused to my twin. My twin is really something which by now i find these scenery normal.

Before the class start our teacher introduce the new guy named Chavez, after finishing his speech and now going back to his seat. I saw a glimpse of him look at my twin with admiration, as i look to my twin she's busy writing something.

Back into reality i stand up then look around seeing my classmate writing in the same paper, the last moment we saw my twin as a statement for investigation. I pass my paper into a police offer before walking towards my parents who is in depths of sadnesses. I ask for their permission about going home and wanting to rest, they seem to be okay with my idea that they gave me my mom's car key.

I walk outside the station and find this new student looking at my Twins poster with a smile on his face. I just ignored him then walk into my mom's car as i realise some details i didn't write on my statement. The details of me peeking into my sister's notebook while she's busy scribbling words, for some reason i felt the need not to tell anyone about it.

I have my own reasons which i know might make me sound suspicious but I'm not. I arrived at our house as i park my mom's car outside where i saw a figure from next street, a figure of someone. I start to stare at the figure focusing into find who is it, seems like the figure it's moving away, but later on just realise that it was a man. I felt a creepy same vibe that i felt with the song played that morning, then got the urge of walking fast straight into our house without looking back at the figure.

I went inside as i try to catch my breath and felt my heart beat begin beating fast. After a minutes or so on i went into our room carrying my and my twins bag. Laying on the bed looking and thinking about what happened, analysing every details that might help me find my twin. I saw her bag that makes me stand up immediately and get that particular notebook, the notebook where is writing something. I opened the book in the anticipation of finding some clues, and saw some words that builds up curiosity in my head.

I closed my eyes and hide the notebook into our hiding place which is a small opening behind our bedside cabinet. Letting my body fall into the bed and resting my mind gain some energy before i investigate my twins case.
