Afterglow (Ceria)

[Kyerin]

Rhiannon laid merrily on her bed, her earbuds in her ears as she sang along with the music. She was feeling in a rather upbeat mood right now, mainly because she had just met a fun guy, had some fun at his expense, and received free ice cream. Really, there was no better way for her to spend her day, especially since she had skipped class all day...

Speaking of which, her sister should be should be back from classes any moment now, meaning that she would actually have to get off of her behind and copy down notes... though that wouldn't take long. She was going to enjoy her music right now... namely the soundtrack of "A Fiddler on the Roof". Gah, she loved musicals.

[Faye]

Hmph.

When she said skip the entire day, she meant skip the entire day. Didn't even come see her at lunch! What a twin she was. Oh well, she had fun, caused a mini food fight, mooched off a few of the other eighth grader girls for some money so she could get free food without spending her own.

She carried her light school bag on her back as she walked through the dormitory lobby, passed the reception and to the elevator. She pressed the up button, took a step back and waited for the doors to open. The elevator dropped to the ground floor, the doors spread and she stepped inside and pressed the appropriate button.

A light sigh escaped her lips, school was annoying and tiring. She was so glad Rhiannon would be going through the classes the following day. She was itching to get to the dormitory to see what the girl had been up to all day long. Probably been at the stupid pool again.

Ding, the doors reopened and Cerys Levenworth exited, making her way down to her dormitory that she shared with her identical twin sister. She pulled her uniform skirt down and noticed the door was unlocked. Well, she was home.

"Rhia~?" She called out in a sing-song voice as she entered the room, forgetting why she was annoyed.

[Kyerin]

Rhia contemplated her day and the missed classes. The others would probably miss her a bit... but theatre was one that she definately should have gone too. Oh well; she could lie about why she had skipped... and if the teacher knew it was a lie, then she could just put all of her drama skills into the lie to make it work. For some reason, if you did your excuse well enough, even if it was blatantly a lie, the teacher let it slide since you were obviously up on your game.

The door opened and closed, not that the older twin could hear it; she was lying on the bed, her eyes closed as she listening to the music, swinging her feet side to side as she sang along with it. "To life, to life, l'chai-im! L'chai-im, l'chai-im, to life! Life has a way of confusing us, blessing and bruising us, drink l'chaim, to liiiiiiifffffeeeee!!!"

[Faye]

After no response to her calling out, Cerys went into paranoid and ninja mode, her eyes narrowed and she crept silently along the floor in case it wasn't her sister who was home. Her bag remained on her back, her feet slowly moving across the carpet before she heard something.

Her sister.

Singing.

Loudly.

Oh god.

Cerys stopped by Rhiannon's door, opening it to see her twin sister lying on the bed, singing at the top of her lungs. "Well aren't we having fun," She said, her voice monotoned as she stood there.

[Kyerin]

Rhia continued to sing along, considering that the song was very upbeat, catchy, and about drinking. Maybe the theatre could put on a presentation of it at the school festival... but probably not, considering how soon the festival was and their complete lack of preperation. They should at least do something... she hadn't heard any Student Council plans besides setting things up... laaaame.

Something told her that she was being watched, causing the girl to prop her head up and see her twin there. "Oh, heeeey," she said with a grin, turning off the mp3 player and removing the earbuds so she could hear her sister. "So, how was class? Did you learn a lot today?"

[Faye]

Something was odd about Rhiannon, she was very.. happy today, not that it was unusual but it was an odd kind of upbeat that was suspicious. Cerys kept her eyes narrowed, the sweet scent of mint flavoured ice-cream caressing her sense of smell. Cerys's eyes widened at the shock and she turned back to her sister.

"Do I smell ice-cream on you?" She asked, ignoring the question about school. Rhiannon should know what she was going to say. Lame, boring, pointless, they made a living stealing and not getting caught, they didn't need education!

[Kyerin]

Rhiannon paused as she saw her sister's expression change. What was it? Did she have a stain on her shirt? A look down told her no. She didn't have any bruises or such on her face, she checked earlier. What could have... oh, now she smelt it too. Blast, she forgot to wash her hand, though she did dry off the drool... and mint was Cerys's favorite. There was a saying that went along with this situation... something about poo running into a spinning blade...

The girl forced her smile to stay on her face, though it became more stale from that, before holding out one hand towards her sister. "If you want, I dripped some on this hand, so you could lick it and maybe still get a taste?" she said, teasing the younger twin for the brief moment she had before things went downhill.

[Faye]

Okay, mint may have been one of the best flavours ever made but ew! "No thanks, I don't know where your hands have been," She replied, screwing her face up at the suggestion. She pushed her sister's hand away with her index finger, making exaggerated movements to make it seem like her sister's hand was contaminated with some kind of poison.

"But.. since when do you have ice-cream without me!? Did you get me any? Bet you didn't, meanie!" Cerys pouted, folding her arms across her chest and turned away to walk back into the main room to dump her school bag. Rhiannon would have to copy notes soon.

[Kyerin]

Rhia couldn't help giggling as her sister treated her hand like some sort of toxic waste dump. It was clean... relatively. She had washed it in the shower before going off to get ice cream, so it had a couple hours of natural air, a bit of ice cream, and her drool on it... though that could still be potentially icky. It was a lot better than not washing her hands earlier, though; then they would have chlorine, and she could be foaming at the mouth by now.

The girl got up to follow her sister into the main room, though her movements were slower, more precise and smooth, the natural grin back on her face. "Weeeelllll... I didn't, but that's because while you were in class, a nice boy took me out to get ice cream. He is in one of our classes, but I don't think he knows that I have a twin, so I couldn't spoil the potential fun and surprise by revealing you to him."

[Faye]

"Ew, I can't believe you hang out with boys"

Cerys still thought boys had cooties, they were foul creatures and only thought of themselves. Like that stupid Verity boy, deserved to feel the way that he does! Nicolette wasn't mean to him, he should just step up his game and try and be noticed like she did. Wasn't like she was very confident either, blah. "But, why did he treat you to ice-cream, hm? Curiosity leaked out of her voice, she was wondering what had happened.

[Kyerin]

Rhia smiled, laughing lightly, before walking over to her sister, patting her on the head with her cleaner hand. "Well, when you get older, like me, you'll realize that there are good things about boys. Most of them will do anything for a pretty girl. Though they can be nice to hang around... sometimes."

At the question, the girl sat down, looking at Cerys with a smaller smile. "Well, I went swimming earlier, and I saw him watching me swim. So I yelled at him for being creepy and staring and made him feel bad, and to make it up to me, he took me to go get ice cream. Simple as that."

[Faye]

Cerys scoffed at Rhiannon's comment. "You are not that much older than me. Ten minutes! Just ten more minutes that I spent in mummy's stomach, it was nice and warm... at least I think so, and I hope so.." Cerys quite often trailed off into nothing when she rambled.

When Rhiannon went into her explanation, Cerys listened and laughed, hugging her sister. "This is why I love you and why you are my sister, you're so cunning," She released her twin, taking a step back, a smile curving onto her lips.

[Kyerin]

Rhia shook her head at her sister's rambling, patting her sister on the head again. "Ten minutes, yes, but as you can see, dear younger sister, it makes a world of difference," she said, rubbing in her greater "maturity". Yeah, right, like either of them were really mature.

The girl did hug Cerys back, though, grinning at her. "Yes, and as long as he only sees one of us at a time, we could both mess with him some. There might be more free ice cream, and more... he had a pair of very nice silver bracelets on him, and that was all that was visible." Which meant that he had potentially more in his room.

[Faye]

As much as she despised the male part of the human race, she would mingle with them to her benefit. Shiny, silver bracelets, free ice-cream. Oh she was sold at free ice-cream, really, the bracelets were just a mere bonus. They just had to find out where he stayed...

"Sounds like a fantastic plan! Older sister," She said, implying that her sister was old. She turned and pulled the chair out from under the table, sitting down on it, the cushion soft but she would have to get up soon due to the itchy fabric on over top of the cushion. "You're going to have to let me in on some more details because he could easily catch on if I slip up."

[Kyerin]

Rhia nodded as well as she sat down, though she glared at her younger sister. "I am not old!" she said, pouting a bit. "I am older hence, you should give me some respect. Do I look all wrinkly and blah to you?"

Still, she shifted in the couch, making herself comfortable as she thought back to the time she had spent with the boy. "His name is Isaak... something or other; I don't remember the last name, but he's German. He's in our algebra I class, but is a year older than us, which I still can't figure out how that works exactly, cause he doesn't seem slow. He has art, and likes it, andddd... that's pretty much it as far as I can think of."
