The Mattel Sisters

ANNELIESE'S POV:

I couldn't really sleep well thinking about the picture we had from the Halloween custome from last 15 years ago. It was really a perfect replica from both of us. But we weren't even born here, and that was really far from possibility that one of us is the lost princess. That can never happen.

Another thing that my brain keeps bugging, not just my brain but also my heart, Julian is very cold with me. I woke up very early at keep looking at the window waiting for Julian to water or clean his garden. I looked at Erika who was sleeping and I think, any minute by now she will woke up. I started to brush my hair and took a toothbrush. Erika woke up and was looking at me.

"I don't usually believe in miracle but hey, it is a miracle to see you woke up very early." she said while she was still laying in bed and was looking it me. I wanted to keep everything to me but I don't think I could hide it from her. And I trust her for that.

"If I were you, you should take a bath and change clothes. He will be out by 30 minutes from now." she said. I swiftly grabbed my towel and went to the bathroom. I hate to take a bath in this early morning hour. The water is so cold. I fastly took a bath. I went down stairs after dressing and was looking at Erika who was preparing breakfast. I keep peeking every minute outside.

Not that long, he went out. He was still wearing his pajama and shirt. He watered his plant and bring out those potted plants inside his house. I walked slowly hoping he will noticed my presence before I could start talking.

"Oh, it was you. Good morning." he said with no energy.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" I humbly ask. Please say yes. Please say yes.

"We are talking." he said sarcastically.

"Oh. I just want to say sorry about yesterday. I felt like I  shouldn't overreact about being you and Tori." I said to him, straight forward.

"I hope you are not mad with me anymore." I added. He turned off the hose and looked at me.

"You think I am mad of you? No, I even thought you are mad with me." He told me

"I'm really really sorry." I apologized again.

"I started to distance myself to you because nevermind." he said. Huh?

"Why? I need to know Julian." I said. I have an idea were this would come. That's it I'm saying it. Oh Gods of the heaven and the earth, help me with this.

"I like you." we both said and looked at each other. What? Did he just say he like me too? Or am I dreaming? If only I can see myself, I really looked like a strawberry shortcake!

I looked at him and smiled. A very big smile. He was about to uttered some words but I turned around and ran away. I can't contain all the butterflies in my stomach. I ran towards home and slammed the door.

"Heeey!" Erika said as she was running downstairs.

"Erika, he likes me too!" I screamed. I don't know what happened but we both are screaming. We were jumping for happiness.

"How did you respond?" she asked

"We both said together and I ran." I told her. Her hyper self became neutral. She looked at me and asked if that kind of like is for a friend or someone else. I shrugged. She shook her head and slowly walked away.

Erika was right. I was full of excitement and I just ran away just like that. I should have cleared everything at first before celebrating. Ugh! Anneliese you should think. I should sleep at the exact hours of sleep or this would happen.
