Mary-Kate's POV:
Waking up early for me had never been hard since I was known to be an early bird in my family. So when my alarm had gone off at 6 A.M. I knew exactly what day it was.

First day of senior year.

As my eyes adjusted to the sunlight streaming through my bedroom curtains I let a soft smile make its way onto my face. I loved school. I loved seeing my friends everyday, and I loved planning for the next school event when I had student-body meetings. I was known to be an exceptional student among my classmates at Blue Mountain High and I had high achieving marks. This year was going to be my year and I fully intended on maintaining my 4.1 gpa to get into Yale University. The same college my parents went to where they fell in love.

With that thought in mind I got out of bed and stood to stretch out my limbs. My feet were freezing as they stood on my hardwood floor so I quickly padded to my closet door to put on a pair of house slippers. I made my way to my bathroom and cringed when I took a look in the mirror and realized how red my nose looked from the cold last night. I washed my face and and brushed my hair before going to pick an outfit from my closet. I was dressing to impress today, because who doesn't on their first day back to school? As I looked to my right and saw my poster of my favorite fashion icon: Cher from Clueless I knew exactly what I was going to wear today.

I threw on a white long sleeve shirt with a pink, plaid split cami dress attached over it. Walking to my mirror to approve of the fit, I pictured the shoes in my mind to go with it. Heading over to my shoe rack I decided to throw on my pink checkered vans to match. Guess we were doing pink today. I threw my curly brown hair into a half-up do since my hair came to my shoulders. I took a final glance to my mirror and I was ready to go. While looking for my phone and bag, I didn't hear my brother Tyler knock or enter into my room.

"Can I ride with you to school?" Tyler asked without even so much as a greeting of good morning. "Well good morning to you too Ty." "Yeah okay, mornin' M.K., now can I ride with you to school?" He continued to ask getting a bit snippy with me. Fine. He wanted to play that game? I could play too, we were twins after all, so I had just as much attitude as he did. "You didn't even wait for me to answer my door, I could've been changing you crackhead." He decided to roll his eyes at me and replied back sharply, "Well if you didn't answer, I had assumed the worst, what if you had drowned in the shower? You're lucky I came in to check on you."

"Ty, you didn't come to check on me, you asked for a ride to school. Plus how would I have drowned in the shower? You drown in a tub not the shower you moron." Completely ignoring the second part of my statement, his eyes lit up with excitement and rushed out, "So is that a yes? Thanks little sis!." He continued to yell to me as he ran down the stairs. "I'm younger by 15 minutes and that's only because your fat head got stuck in mom." I muttered to myself knowing it was useless using the same excuse every time he mentioned I was younger than him. Although Tyler and I were twins, we were completely different. He was the star quarterback and a total flirt to anything that had a pulse and a hoohaw in between their legs. We looked exactly alike with freckles sprouting across our cheeks and brown curly hair we inherited from our mother. We had the jaw structure and green eyes from our father. I on one hand got my shortness from my mother standing at the height of 5'3 being one of the shortest seniors at Blue Mountain while Tyler stands at 6'2 getting the height from dad. I would never admit out loud, but we were a very good looking family.

As I quickly made my way downstairs, I noticed Tyler in the kitchen eating some sort of sandwich he had found in the fridge. With a look of disgust I asked him, "How could you possibly eat that at, at 7 in the morning?" With his mouth full he answered, " I have to bulk up for the season, coach wants me eating more protein." I shook my head at him showing I wanted to dismiss the conversation and I made my way to the front door, pausing to throw a remark over my shoulder, "If you're not outside in five minutes I'm leaving without you." With upon hearing that Tyler ran straight past me and dove into the passenger seat of my beloved blue Mini Cooper. I looked to the left and noticed mom and dad's car was already gone, meaning they had gone to the office already. As I started up the car I had Ariana Grande playing softly in the background knowing Tyler loved her, but would never admit it out loud. If there was one thing he valued more than football, it was his masculinity.

It hadn't registered until now that Ty had his own car so why was he asking for a ride? Deciding to speak my thoughts out loud, I questioned him. "Why couldn't you drive your truck? What happened this time?" He looked sheepishly over at me and mumbled a sentence I couldn't quite hear so I asked him to speak up. With a clear of his throat he said, "Charlotte slashed the tires on them last night when she saw me kissing Jenny at the party on Saturday." I looked over at him quickly, making sure to put my eyes back on the road and laughed out loud at the thought of his crazy ex-girlfriend Charlotte. "Yo-you mean Charlotte ca-came to the hou-house last night and slashed your tires for being single?" I tried to speak properly between my laughter because the whole situation seemed hilarious to me. "How'd you know it was her anyways?" With this he grunted and turned his head to the window and clenched his jaw before replying, "Because I watched her do it after I told her there was no us anymore, she's fucking bat shit crazy, and wouldn't understand that I don't settle, I like to jump from girl to girl. Who wants to have the same pussy for weeks anyways? Not me that's for sure." I cringed at this. My brother was a player and everyone at Blue Mountain knew that. If a girl wanted to be with him, she had to understand she wasn't going to be the last. Me on the other hand; I was a hopeless romantic and believed that there was someone out there for everyone. I believed in soulmates because I looked up to my parents and cherished the love they shared.

I slowly started to feel bad for the poor girl. She wasn't the first girl to be broken-hearted by Tyler, and she was one of the poor souls who thought they could change my player brother's ways and failed to do so. I hated toxic masculinity and I even hated objectifying women more but that's exactly what my brother did so I slapped him upside the head as I kept my left hand on the steering wheel. Tyler winced from the impact and grunted at me.

"Well aren't you just a fucking ray of sunshine today?" I rolled my eyes at him and gave him a tight lipped smile. "Keep it up dear brother and you can walk the rest of the way." With this he kept his mouth shut and we drove in silence the rest of the way to Blue Mountain with Ariana still playing in the background.
