"Come on,
Nicki! We're gonna be late on our first day!" Kim cried, as
she ran out the door.
Kim and Nicki Wesley
were sisters. Twins actually, but you couldn't tell by looking at
them. They were fraternal twins, and they looked nothing a like.
Kim had red hair and bright green eyes, while Nicki had golden
blonde hair and dark green eyes. Kim was also an inch taller, but
Nicki was three minutes older and she never let Kim forget it!
In a hurry, Nicki
grabbed her shoes and rushed out of the front door bear footed.
"Kim, cool it. We'll be on time. Just chill! Okay?
God..." She said as she put her shoes on before climbing
into the car.
"Sorry, but I
want to get there early...." One of the other big
differences between the girls was that Kim was very disciplined
and had to be on time to everything, I guess it came along with
the big responsibility that came to her last year.
Nicki was the little
party girl who you could never locate on a Friday night. That was
all changing now. The girls and their family, consisting of their
mom and dad, Lucy and Brett, and their little siblings, had just
moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Lucy had gotten a new job working at a
law firm as an accountant. That wasnt the only reason
though. Packing up and moving from their home in Michigan was
hard. They had lived there all of their lives. They left their
friends whom they had grown up with. The move was hard on them,
and Nicki, being the stubborn snot she was, did not want to
cooperate.
"Kim, if we're
late, you can blame it on me. You always do anyway...."
Nicki said with a snotty voice.
"Ya, well it's
usually your fault!" Kim exclaimed as she hopped into the
passenger side of their dark red Dodge Neon. Nicki always drove
to school, usually because she could get there faster. Last week
she had gotten into trouble speeding down their street and they
had only been in Tulsa for no more then a week.
As Kim figured, they
got to school late. 'Great, make a good first impression, Kim. Be
late on your first day. Way to go!' Kim thought to herself. She
secretly wanted to pin this one on Nicki, but she decided not to
say anything. She could get her revenge later.
To the girl's
surprise, they were in all of the same classes, probably since
there was only three weeks of the school year left. There was one
other girl who was also in all of their classes. They discovered
her name was Kaitlin, and she was good folk. So
Nicki, being the shy person she was, decided to start
a conversation with Kaitlin.
"Hey. Your name
is Kaitlin, right?" Nicki asked.
"Um, yeah.
Kaitlin Blessing. You can call me Kate. Everyone else does."
Kate replied.
"Oh, okay. I'm
Nicolette and this is Kimberley, but never call us that, it's
kind of embarrassing to have a name like Nicolette... It's Nicki,
and Kim." Nicki explained.
"So, are you to
sisters? You just move here?" Kate asked.
"Actually,
twins, but no one can really tell. We just moved here from
Michigan." Kim declared.
"Oh, so, do you
know anyone else here yet?" Kate wondered.
"Uh, no, not
yet. We were actually hoping you could help us there, if its
isn't too much trouble. Nicki and I are nice... She hasn't bitten
for a few months..."
"KIM!"
Nicki was embarrassed.
"Whoa, down. I
was kidding..." Kim rolled her eyes.
"Well, if you
two want, you can come over my house after school. I live on
Milford Street." Kate offered.
"Milford
Street? Uh, we just moved onto that street. I think? Ya. We're
number 108. What number are you?" Nicki interrogated.
"You're
kidding. I'm number 12... it's the second one on your left once
you turn onto the street."
Nicki was kinda
surprised. So far she had only seen old people and little kids on
the street, no one their age. "Kim and I will come over
about 4, if that's okay...."
"Yeah, sure, no
prob.! See ya there!" Kate said as she walked away to her
next class.
There was only one
class left in the day, Biology. They knew they could survive it,
since they had pretty much already passed it. And it went by
fast. After the bell rang, the girls walked out to their car.
This time, Kim drove.
They got home about
2:45, which was good time since school got out at 2:25 and the
traffic at school was horrible. They ran inside and plopped their
things right inside the door.
They got to Kate's
house right at 4pm. Obviously, Kim was behind the fact that they
actually got somewhere on time that day.
"Hey guys, come
on in. Just to warn you, I have a lot of little brothers and
sisters. There's Shawn, he's 14, Nate, he's 12, Chrissy is 11,
Ryan is 8, Courtney is 5, and Larissa is 2. Oh and I'm 16."
Katie said pointing out every one.
"SEVEN
KIDS?!?!? Yikes. We have 2 little brothers, Micah, who's 12, and
Jacob, who's 10. And a little sister," Nicki looked over at
Kim, "Maggie, shes
"
"Shes
about 6months old." Kim interrupted Nicki.
"Any way, so
ya. I guess our family isn't that small either..." Nicki
realized.
"Whoa. Put our
families together and we could outdo the Brady Bunch..."
Kate joked. She led Nicki and Kim into the family where a little
boy and girl were fighting over which movie to watch. It was
obviously Ryan and Courtney.
"Ry, I wanna
watch Ariel!" The girl yelled.
"Corky, I was
watching Power Rangers!" The boy yelled back.
"No! Mommy!
Mommy!" The girl then realized her big sister was in the
room. "Katie, I wanna watch Ariel! Make Ryan turn off those
stupid Power Rangers!"
Obviously Kate was
stuck. She turned to her guests and, in that big sisterly voice,
exclaimed, "Ryan, Courtney, no one is watching TV right now.
I have guests over. Go into the playroom and do whatever you do
in there..."
Wow. Did she show
them!
