It was tickets to Dex's concert here in town.
"Ugh! Sadie!" I angrily slapped the tickets in her hand, "That's not a present!"
"Yes it is,"
"NO IT'S NOT!!!" I screamed.
"Look, Eve. You have been in some sort of depression for the last five years, and you're not popular like you used to be because you've been hiding behind sadness and a mountain of homework. At first, I thought you might be suffering because Grams died," she noted, "but now, I think it's because of Dex."
"NO!" I yelled. Sadie grabbed my arm and twisted, making me moan in pain.
"Hear me out!" she said, pinning my arm behind my back. I screeched in protest. "I think you've been missing Dex. You haven't had a single date in your life, even though I know Peter, our SCHOOL QUARTERBACK, is pining for you. Has he even asked you out yet?" I said nothing, and she frowned, but continued on. "I think this would solve all of your problems. Go to this concert with Delilah and me. Act like a crazed fan, which shouldn't be hard for you," she joked. I gave her an evil glare, "and I think by the end of the night you'll be all Dex-ed out. Then you could go out with Peter!" she grinned triumphantly.
That's true. Maybe if I go crazy this one time... I'll finally be able to look at Peter and be satisfied. I would realize that Dex really isn't the ideal guy. Maybe, at this concert, I could find a flaw that would let me out of the trap he's caught me in.
I smiled slowly, and linked hands with my beautiful twin.
"Let's do it,"
