Over-action or Overcoming

2. Still a baby

'You really are my soul mate, you had to call me, I would end them all'. Kiessy says excitedly and I laughed at her enthusiasm, she is my sister and is 15 years old.

"That was not funny, and if he broke one of his arms as the last, you would be expelled." This is my twin, Utima.

'There was, you are very unsalted'. Kiessy complains.

'How did the news get to you? '. I ask, they just arrived from school now.

'News fly, my dear, ready to turn 14?' She asks me and I nod.

'What are we going to do this time?' I ask.

'No, you are not going to make a mess like last time, I ended up taking the blame because I was the one who bought the rockets'. Ricardo says looking at us and we ignore him.

'How about a pool party?' I ask my twin.

'I don't like swimming'. She says.

"You don't have to," Kiessy says and she shrugs.

'What are you up to?'

'Mom, can our party be at the pool? '. I ask hopefully, she didn't even want to throw a party.

'I'll think about it '

'Please'. I ask and I know she will give in.

'First I'm going to talk to your dad.' She says and I already know that the cause is won.

After two days I got the answer I wanted, well, it won't be at the pool, but I will have a party, so I can invite all my friends, and I did.

'Hello Daisy'. I say smiling at the girl and today I notice her more.

'I didn't know you were my classmate, I apologize.' I say embarrassed, scratching the back of my neck.

'It doesn't matter, I never did much to get noticed too'. She says nice, and I smiled back.

'I am celebrating my birthday this weekend, and I will have a party, I wish you can come.' I tell her.

'Thanks for the invitation, but I'm not going anywhere without my sister.' She says and I nod.

'You can take your sister, here is the address, show up yes'. I write in her notebook then I sit down because the class will start.

'Do you want to go for an ice cream?'. I ask Daisy after school when we were going to get on the transport.

'Of course, thank you.' She says nice and we go out together, texting my brother to go and look for us later.

'What flavor do you like best?' I ask as soon as we arrive at the ice cream shop.

'I prefer raspberry'. She says and I nod asking her for raspberry, which is a flavor I hate and ask for vanilla and chocolate for me.

'So Daisy, tell me more about yourself'. I say as soon as we sit down.

'Well, I'm 13, and I'm a twin.' And I look at her in amazement.

'I'm also a twin, my twin is called Utima'

'My twin is called Halsey'. That name, that name I've heard, I just don't remember it well.

'My twin is very similar to me in terms of physical appearance, but the opposite total in terms of personality'.

'The same is true for me, we are identical but very different twins'. She says and we are telling us several funny stories from our lifetime.

'My brother has arrived, shall we?' I offer my hand and she is a little ashamed, she passes her hair behind her ear and then takes it, we go outside and find Ricardo.

'Ricardo this is Daisy, Daisy this is my older brother'. I introduce them and then Daisy gives her address and we take her to her home.

'See you tomorrow? '. I ask as soon as we get to your door.

'Yes, thank you'. She says and we wait for her to come in to start.

'She is very beautiful'.

'I know'. I say and only after I notice what I said, she really is beautiful, her hair is black and long, she has blue eyes, she is skinny and pale white.

'Right'. Ricardo says looking at me in a strange way and I ignore him.

'Are you going to take Laura?' I ask him, my mom and Kiessy hate Ricardo's girlfriend, I never said anything, I still want to be in his good graces.

'She is my girlfriend'. He defends it and I nod.

'Yes'

'Did you invite Sarah?' He asks.

'No '

'When did your courtship end?' He asks laughing.

'She was a xaxo'. I respond and burst out laughing at the same time as Ricardo.

'Those expressions that mom uses'. He says smiling and shakes his head.

'They are the best, believe me'

***

'Happy Birthday my baby'. I hear my mother's voice and I don't even think about opening my eyes, I take my blanket up to my head and curl up.

'You will ignore me?'. She asks in a tone that I already know well, other mothers would be hurt, my mother is pissed and does everything as a prank. I feel one side of the bed sink and without being able to move I am in her clutches.

'I surrender, I surrender, I already woke up, I already woke up'. I say between my laughs.

'Is that so? '

'Mom, mom, stop, tickle kills'. I say laughing even more.

'What are the magic words?'. She asks and I still get tired of laughing.

'I love you mom, you are the love of my life'. I say and the tickling stops.

'I love you too, my little misfortune'. She says hugging me tight and gives me a kiss.

'Utima?'. I ask while we make the bed.

'Your sister is an old woman, she woke up earlier than me, nor did she let me play with her for a while'. She complains and grimaces.

'You already know her, and we are also a little old to play, now, can we go eat ?, I have to be all pretty for later'. I say and my mom smiles.

'I know my baby'. She says and we go down.

'You can stop calling me that now'. I complain.

'Baby once, baby forever'. She declares and I laughed.

'Happy Birthday!!'. Everyone says happy as soon as they see me, I give Utima a big hug, then I take her pinky with mine and the two of us kiss our hands together at the same time, it's a small ritual of ours.

'Heart'. I say quietly so that only she can hear.

'My'. She returns and I grinned.
