Buttercup pov:
Arc followed me.
"Buttercup please let me explain!"
"No Arc! Sage was right... We're done!"
"Please... Don't do this to me."
"Me doing this to you?! Why don't you hang out with that other girlfriend of yours!"
"Sienna isn't a girlfriend!"
"Sure! Go f*ck yourself!"
Arc looked at me and I saw the pain in his eyes.
I looked away.
"Please, leave me alone."
And I left him right there.

I bumped into Sage and she looked at me.
"Buttercup."
"Sage."
She sighed and wanted to walk away.
"Sage wait. I thought about it."
"And?"
"I want to be your best friend. Screw Arc."
"Wait, really? Did something happen?"
"Do you acctually care?"
"Nah. Just glad to have my best friend back."
I smiled and Sage gave me a smirk.
"Wanna put a prank on Arc? As revenge for dumping you?"
"I dumped him."
"Ha! That's my girl!"
"He was with someone else..."
"Oh now he is getting a revenge prank! No one is gonna cheat on my girl!"
Sage seemed pretty pissed but for once, I agreed with her anger.

Arc pov:
I sighed as I walked back to the Fenikssquadroom.
Although, they hate me and Buttercup thinks that I'm cheating on her. Great... Just great...

So the next day at the knightschool be like; my squad hates me and Buttercup hates me.
I sighed and turned away from the squadroomdoor. I had to go somewhere else to figure things out...

So yea, I went to the lake.
I sat down and dropped my head in my hands.
"Everything is so screwed up..."
"Umm... Are you okay...?" A voice said and I looked up.
"Sienna? I thought you'd come back tomorrow for-"
"Relax. I saw what happend... Are you okay?"
"Do you care?"
She grinned and took a seat next to me.
"You're my twin brother. Of course I care."
"You literally threatened to kill me like an hour ago."
"So?"
I grinned softly.
"So are you gonna tell me what's wrong or should I guess?" Sienna asked.
"My girlfriend thiught that I was cheating on her because she saw how suspiciously you ran away from me. And she kinda broke up with me..."
"She thought that I was a second girlfriend? Jeez, sounds like she doesn't even trust you."
"Thanks a lot."
"Sorry..."
"Why woukd you care anyway?"
"Like I said, you're my twin brother."
"We really are twins huh..."
"Dude. Look at us, we're basically the same person."
"Yea okay true."
"Just talk to her."
"Buttercup doesn't want to talk to me."
"So what? You're not even gonna fight for your girl? No wonder that she dumped you."
"What would you do?"
"You trust her, right?"
"Yes of course!"
"Mabey you should tell her... the truth..."
"And expose you and Raver? Really?"
"Yes. Tell her about me and dad. I'm sure that she would keep your secret... our secret."
"Mabey you're right."
"Wel duh, I am the older twin."
I rolled my eyes and looked at Sienna.
"Thanks for the talk."
"Anytime."
She left and I returned to the knight school to search for Buttercup.

Buttercup pov:
Sage just left because she had to do something, then I saw Arc walking to me.
"No..." I muttered and I wanted to walk away.
"Buttercup, can we talk?" Arc asked when he walked next to me.
"Let me think, No!"
"Please let me explain things-"
"I told you that we're done!"
"Let me at least tell me the truth."
"I'm wasting my time."
"Buttercup listen-"
"Why would I? Go talk to that other girl!"
"Why would I talk to my twin instead of you!?"
"T- twin?"
"Yea..."
"I- I can't believe you! Making up a twin sister!? You never mentioned her before!"
"Because I didn't knew she existed!"
"Oh that's bull!"
"No listen-"
"I heared enough. Leave me alone. For good."
And I walked away.
"Please, wait. I want to tell you the full truth. No more secrets! No more hiding!"
I turned.
"You kept secrets?"
"Please let me explain..."
"I need to go..."
"But-"
"Meet me at the lake. Tonight, 6pm. Sharp."
Arc nodded and I left to meet Sage.

She looked at me.
"Tomorrow will be the day." she said.
"What are you gonna do?" I asked.
"Don't worry. It'll be great."
"Okay...?"

Arc pov:
I waa at the lake when I saw Buttercup coming.
"You're acctually here?" she said.
"Did you acctually expect me not to show up when I want to tell you the truth?"
"Fine. I knew you'd be here. So what is so important which you kept hiding?"
"Remember when I got that arrow in my chest?"
"Yes?"
"That's where all of it started."
"Like three weeks..."
"Look, I told you that Raver helped me, right?"
"Just get to the point."
"He claimed to be my father."
"Wait what?"
"That girl was Sienna, my twin sister, or at least that's what I've been told."
"You don't even know?"
"There was thing thing when I was five and I lost my memories. So I'm not sure what to believe... Until Sienna had the other half of my mothers necklace."
"You wear a nacklace?"
"Pfff no...."
"Arc."
"Okay yes! But what's the big deal behind that?"
"Forget that! Raver is your dad and you didn't thought you'd have to metion that to me!?"
"That's not all of it though..."
"What do you mean?"
"The reason why Sienna kept sneaking around was because Raver wants me on his side..."
"Don't you dare to tell me that-"
"Calm down! I never promised him antyhing about it. And besides, I don't want to betray my friends and you... But I don't know if I can betray my dad and twin. I don't know what to do. Sienna kept trying to convince me and all. But I keep thinking about you."
"Me... but we broke up."
"No. You broke up with me. And I love you."
"I- I need to proceed all of this..." and Buttercup wanted to walk away.
"Wait, please don't tell anyone."
"I- I won't..." and she ran off.

So the next day at the knightschool was probably the worst.
I should've never go there.
The Fenikssquad still hated me and the king was there for a squad test, so we would definitely fail.
"Sir Gareth, your majesty, I have something important to ask and tell." Sage asked.
"Sage we're about to start the cha-" Sir Gareth said but the king stopped him.
"Let her talk, she says that it's important."
"What would you two do if there was a child of Raver at this school?"
"What are you talking about?" the king asked and I looked hopefull at Sir Gareth.
"Sage everyone knows that Ravers kids died in one of his wars." he said.
"Oh really? Then wjat about you Arc?"
And everyone looked at me.
I glared at Buttercup.
"I can't believe you told Sage!"
"I didn't!"
"Yea right!"
"Guards, arrest him!" the king yelled and I fled.
