Perfect Twins

Chapter 6.

They arrived in the library to find Jason sitting in their spot reading a magazine. Janet groaned irritably but quickly knocked a welcoming smile on her face when Jason looked up at them with the biggest of smiles. Lucy sat down first all happy and jolly and then Janet lazily followed.

"This is a great hiding spot you know." Jason said, "no fighting, just peace and quiet, nothing could ever go wrong here."

"Isn't it?" Lucy agreed, "that's why we picked this place."

Jason glanced at Janet and his smile subsided a little to see Janet's bored expression. She avoided eye contact and took out a book from her bag and started reading. He turned back to Lucy, not wanting anything to do with Janet's negativity.

"S-so what do you do here normally?" He asked.

"Quiet things." Lucy answered, "like drawing, reading, listening to music and stuff like that."

Jason lowered his head, "I really need friends you know." He said sadly. That caught Janet's attention and she raised her head. "I've always admired other kids for having so much fun with their friends. Constantly hanging out and sharing secrets, I want to do the same but... I can't, because I'm not like them. It never used to be like this for me in my old school ya'know. I used to have friends, I was never bullied, it all went so well until I had to change that."

"What makes you so different from them?" Janet asked, leaning forward.

"W-what do you mean?" 

"For all I know you could be a sick twisted bastard inside."

"But I'm not!"

"How could you be so sure? It's in hard times when your true personality comes out. People have one thing in common: they like to destroy. They enjoy it, whether it's to destroy someone's life or their trust, that's up to them. But people like to destroy and hurt so they could benefit from it however they benefit from it. They find joy in destruction, you could be just like them, deep down, you could be exactly like them. You could love destruction."

Jason's muscles relaxed and he lowered his head, "you might be right." He surrendered, "but is destroying always bad?"

The twins glared at him.

"I mean, you could like to destroy bad things. That's not bad is it? I guess if we can't help it, then we must choose what we want to change." Jason looked up to Janet and grinned, "you're Janet aren't you?"

Janet leaned back, "yeah?"

"Other than the fact that Lucy has a mole on top of her eyebrow, I could still tell the difference between you two easily."

"How?" Lucy frowned.

"Janet loves being angry." Jason shrugged, "but then again, those are just my first impressions."

Janet scoffed and continued reading her book.
