Chapter 1

When you want to be popular or extinct,the right people come your way but not all the time.

Twin kids were blessings where one was nice and the other was totally cocky and rude naturally. Some may both be nice and vice versa.

Bloom and blossom were beautiful girls born identical because they were twins.

They had same fair glowing skin,same blonde hair,dimples but different eyes.

That was the only way you could differentiate them. Bloom had sea blue eyes while blossom had green eyes.

Apart from the fact that their eyes were not same,they both differ also in character,composure and manners.

Bloom was quiet,calm,easy going, bashful,introverted and respectful but blossom was a total opposite being.

"I miss our old house" chipped blossom whom was seated at the backseat,reclining at the right hand side of the green jeep.

A large truck that carried their belongings followed behind them.

"Can you please stay quiet,you're disturbing like a child" Mrs grace Leonard cautioned. "Besides I was transferred. You don't want me to lose my job,do you?

"No mum"

At the left relaxed bloom who had her eyes closed peacefully,she had on her ears a pair of headset that blasted good songs.

The strong wind blew on her face making her hair sprawl backwards.

"Why can't you be like your sister"

"Don't compare mum,it's wrong"

"I know it's wrong but you can as well shut up and stop bluffing in my ears. You're not a child blossom, you're 18 for crying out loud. Please grow up"

"Are we there yet?" Bloom asks taking off her headset.

"No,stay calm,we'll be there soon" her mum assured.

Bloom wore back her headset after glancing at her sister who was busy with her phone.

The Leonardo's just moved out of their old house and were going to the next city in their late dad's jeep. Their mum,Mrs Leo was a secretary at a company and she was being transferred to another branch that's why they had to move out.

Mr Francis Leonardo,their dad and husband died a year ago but they never forgot him,they still felt that void space inside them. They missed him a lot,he was their everything most especially to their mum.

He had become a part of them.

She pulled over in a garage. The environment smelled fresh and pleasant.

Unlike their previous house,this place had a pretty garden close to the balcony.

"We're here"

"Finally" blossom cursed beneath her breath, earning a glare from her mum.

"Sorry mum,I'm just excited that's all"

"Whatever"

They got down and plodded in. The men too got down from their truck and helped them settle in.

They took in sofas,carpets,flat screen TV set,beds and soft mattresses placing them neatly in their position.

"I'll pick this room" blossom screamed hysterically claiming the bedroom by the store room.

The house was actually spacious and beautiful too.

The floorboard had a rug placed at one end and the ceilings was pure white.

The large sitting room was conducive,beside it stood the dinning room,a door close by it led to the kitchen. Looking up you would see a flight of stairs that led to a room,which stood close to another room which was a master's bedroom,comprising an ensuite.

Ahead was the store room followed by another room which was by the washroom.

Bloom took the room close to the master's bedroom which her mum claimed.

Boxes and large baggage were all over the floor in her room.

"I'll start with this" she took out her nightstand,curtains and scented air freshener. Gently she placed them on their spot. The curtains were sprawled on the window,the nightstand by the bedside while the air freshener on the headboard.

"Don't you think we should visit some neighbours tonight"

They were seated in the sitting room watching legacy.

"That will be fun" blossom utters loudly

"Aren't we taking anything along with us like baked cakes or anything at all" bloom inquires

"Sure,I made some orders,it will arrive soon"

"From where mum" bloom questioned looking at her sister.

GRIN

GRIN

The bell rang twice and stops.

"I guess it's here" their mum saunters to the door and brought along with her two stock bags.

"McDonald's" they both yelped happily.

Mrs Leo shook her head grinning from ear to ear.

"I know it's your favourite girls,so before diving in,we'll have to see a few neighbours. OK?"

"Sure mum" bloom mouth watered and she couldn't just wait to devour all those food.

"I'm so famished"

"I know. Here's the plan"

"What plans"

"I need to be at work tomorrow"

"So suddenly" bloom murmured.

"Yes,I don't want to get fired. I want you guys to stay healthy and not starve get it?"

"We understand you mum" blossom said hugging her mum shortly "that's why you'll always be the best mum,ever!"

"Thanks"

"So I'll take an excuse during recess"

"Afterwards" blossom interrupted

"Stop chirping in" their mum warns.

"Whatever" Blossom mumbles

"I know of a school. It's only a mile from here"

"The other school is at the next town"

"Oh.." Bloom drawled.

"I'll make inquiries,OK?"

"Sure" they both responded uniformly.

"I think we should get going since it's still very much early"

"It's 7:30 mum"

"Are you staying back"

"I think so mum"

"OK,if you insist,blossom get your ass out here now"

"Aye captain"

They both laughed at her silly stance and salute.

Bloom clambered up the stairs to her room and flopped on her bed making large dippings. The mattress was so cosy and soft. She laid on her sides wondering how her new school would be like. Her previous school was lovely and everyone was genial. She missed Freda most especially,she cried so much when bloom told her they were moving.

She hadn't believed not until blossom started informing all her friends. Her friendship with Freda was epic. She recalled how they met at the school garden and later on paired as partners in chemistry lab for an important assignment,afterwards they became so close.

She lifted up her left wrist upward,seeing the bracelet she gifted her on her 17th birthday still visible there made her smile dully.

She smiled and laid her head on her pillow.

She slept off till the next day not even aware about the time her mum and sister came in,totally forgetting about food.

***********************************

"Bye girls,I'll see you later"

"Sure mum" blossom blurts loudly

Bloom waved her mum calmly and got back in.

Blossom followed suit into the house "mum kept your last night meal in the fridge"

"From yesterday"

"Yes" she gruffs "i'm off to the neighbour's. They live from across the road"

"But you just got here blossom"

"Shut it. Besides I'm the oldest here"

"Then act like one" bloom wailed

"Whatever. Act like you're the nicest and make mum love you so much that she doesn't care about my existence"

"That's not true and you know that"

"You want a truce"

"That's the only thing in your juvenile brain. Violence"

"Go ahead. Bicker all the grammar and vocabulary you know about scumbag"

"Stop being jealous,it sucks"

"Whatever"

"You know I don't talk much you always push me to the wall" bloom said and darts to the kitchen. Her stomach was singing and she couldn't comprehend.

She opens the fridge and brings out the stock bag. She places it on the kitchen island.

She peaks inside the bag and sees a box of pizza,she brings it out opening it to see three slices. She also got out the ice cream beside the box and starts eating. When she was done,licking her lips she was quite satisfied.

She peers at the window pane which was blinding due to the scorching sun.

"FYI,I'm home,I didn't go out,so you better keep shut when mum gets back"

"Go away blossom" she turns to set her eyes on blossom standing by the door. "Let me tell you something. I don't tell mum stuff,she just tends to find out herself"

"Hmm really"

"Yes" bloom says unafraid looking back at the window.

"No one told me mum was a witch"

"Blossom" bloom yells turning her gaze from the window to glare at her

"Whatever,go fuck yourself" she bluffs and leaves.

"Oh my God" she says feeling irritated

Later on she exit the kitchen after throwing off the trash in the liter bin.

She climbs up the stairs and gets in her room but seeing blossom on her study table made her kinda shocked.

"What are doing here"

"To gossip a little with you"

"I made a friend last night" she pronounces, standing up and folding her arms

"Nice"
