Joey was one of the first out of science once it finished. He'd grabbed his bag before anyone had even realized the class was over and was stood by the door which had been covered with colourful diagrams and other information, waiting for his sister to finally gather her things, insert them into her bag and reach him.

Fria arrived at the entrance without much nuisance and slumped through it, joining her brother for a walk down the halls.

The corridors were brightly coloured similar to the science classroom's door. Its lockers were even brighter being a sunny shade of canary yellow along with a lot of the art that hung on the walls above and all around them. Students buzzed, going from their first period to the second as they chatted up the morning gossip in hushed whispers in case they passed the very person they were spreading rumours about. Fria always found gossip to be more about fights and pure hatred than just having interesting information to share, so she more than anything, despised it.

She was silent, the same as Joey. He was trying to study her body language but the girl stood the same as always did, so the only resort was spoken words.

"So.." He began. "Dustin egh?"

Fria looked up at his face to check if he was completely serious before she spoke. Sometimes he made fun of her when she mistook his words, so recently, she'd been making sure to check the tone and everything before making an assumption.

"No!" She defended. Fria looked back to his face just to make sure. Same look. He was being serious.

"I-I mean, not like that." She explained. Fria looked up at him and giggled. Still serious. "But seriously, its-not-like-that." she enforced. "I just can't help but feel like they're scared of us. So I wanted to-like- not make them scared,"

"' Them' as in Dustin" Joey teased.

"Shut up, you know who I'm talking about"

Joey nodded in understanding. They walked further down the hall with no destination really in mind and their time to reach their next class was becoming scarce.

"What did you do to 'not make him scared'?" he jeered, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Shove off," Fria said, jokingly punching him on his arm. "I saw him at the library and he was trying to get his books for something but he wasn't allowed to I helped him, I told you this already"

"Hmm okay"

Fria stated absent-mindedly at a spot in the wall as she passed it. The girl was really tired and didn't really understand why.

"wanna skip?" She asked out of nowhere.

Her brother looked startled by the mere sentiment and failed to cover it. "Not really. . ." He trailed off although he knew his sister's words we're more persuasive than his own. Unless powers we're involved then Fria's words meant nothing.

"Please Joe!!" She pleaded, pulling on his arm like a small child. "I really don't wanna go"

By then the hall was nearly empty and barely anyone was in sight. The only people, even visible around them were those who were either late and scurrying to class or those who, like the twins, we're either contemplating or actually skipping class.

Joey looked back at his sister's begging eyes, like big pleading orbs. " "Fine, for one class. One class. And then we come back for the next one"

"Deal!"

"Fria jumped up in excitement, almost falling over in the attempt. Joey steadied her by grabbing her arms and basically dragging her through the front doors of Hawkins Middle school. Right outside the entrance was a vast, mostly vacant, carpark that stretched from where they stood, all the way to the main road.

ØØØØØ

They were nearing the gate that would allow them access to the outside world when they heard some footsteps coming from behind them, off to the right.

"Get down!"

Fria grabbed hold of her brother and pulled him firmly behind a blue Chevrolet Camaro before whoever was walking to the vicinity around them spotted the two.

"Fri, what was that?" Joey whispered quietly.

"Probably one of the teachers-shhh"

"What are we gonna-"

"Shhhh"

Fria put her hand over Joey's mouth and all she felt was his heavy breath on her fingers.

Joey looked down at his sisters hand except- it wasn't. The body part was wrinkly, but not the old type. More like the middle-added slightly worn type that went through many rough workdays, seasonal job parties and numerous other things that would contribute to a well-aged hand. His eyes trailed from the unknown hand and all the way up to its owners face. His eyebrows knotted in anger at the pure notion of Fria's actions. "Fri, No!". The hand went back over his mouth just before he could finish his short sentence.

The footsteps grew greatly prominent as the person they belonged to reared the car. "What are you two-"

The voice stopped dead in its tracks at the sight it saw. Joey crouched in an uncomfortable position just beside the shiny car wheel and;

"Oh, Miss Holland!" Mr Cooper chimed. He was a short stubby man with a face consistently, a deep dark shade of red that always made him resemble a giant, slightly peachy, tomato. Me Cooper had the twins for homeroom in the mornings, most of that time. On that particular day, they didn't have it because he hadn't been in that early. Them man was very bitter and often gave hours of penalty work for minor misbehaviour in his classes so the two and the rest of their class despised his very existence.

'Miss Holland' stood up from her crouched position on the ground to the shock of both the man in front of her and the young teen behind. Joey, who had not, due to lack of common sense at that moment, gotten up from the ground had his eyebrows so close together in pure untamed fury that he held a near-complete uni-brow.

"Sorry to uh, disturb you but I thought I spotted Fria and Joey walking to the gate. It's class time they're not supposed to be out, " He stuttered, confused. His head was floating past 'Miss Holland' and to Joey in search of Fria.

"Oh, I-I'm just bringing them home early because it's . . ." She trailed off, unable to think up a good enough lie.

"Our birth mother!" Joey shouted as he cringed. He hated lying but at that moment it was the only thing that would save their skins. "Sh-Shes sick and-and we need to see if she's okay"

Mr Cooper looked him up and down and did the same to 'Miss Holland'.  He knew something was off."Sorry if I'm mistaken, but I thought it specified in your file that your parents were dead."

This time it was both of the Twins who cringed. A short silence followed while they tried to imagine a believable fib.

"It was a lie" 'Miss Holland' thought up. "It hurt us- I mean the twins too much to talk about and it was easier to say the other thing." Miss Holland leaned into Mr Cooper's ear. "See, their mothers a crackhead"

Joey had to stifle back a laugh to maintain his fury toward Fria but he truly found the whole lie hilarious.

Mr Cooper's eyes widened at her words and started spitting out all types of apologies. His cheeks had turned red and were a true shade of mahogany which only made it harder for them to contain their laughter.

'Miss Holland' fiscally grabbed his upper arms, though gently, and turned him around. "It fine, it's fine, we understand your mistake"

He walked away, slowly, occasionally shouting apologies from a distance.

'Miss Holland' and Joey walked until they reached the gate and then they both bolted it so they were out of sight from anyone who was looking for them.

'Miss Holland' slowly lost her height along with the tiny amount of cellulite she entailed. Her hair grew to a medium length and changed from the brownish-blackish colour she'd died it to, to a highlighted shade of dirty blonde. Fria now stood in her place, but in reality, the whole time, she had been the same person, unknown to Mr Cooper.

"Fria, what the hell where you thinking?!"

"The actual phrase you're trying to put together is, 'oh my God, thank you so much for saving my literal ass"

"No-no. You were the one who was 'too tired to go to class'! You were the one who wanted to skip! You were the one who used her powers in front of someone!"

"Okay, fair point-but did you see Mr Cooper's face?"

"Fria! Stop with the jokes! You took a risk that could have endangered us. That might not be that big to you, because you literally don't understand anything, but I like it here! I like Hawkins and I plan to stay here. That won't work if you keep doing things like that!"

"Well Face it, Joey! Were not going to be staying here! The Hollands are selling the house- I don't even know why they sent us to school- and we're never coming back here! We'll just be sent to another foster family or if we're not lucky, be split up. So I'd rather be exposed and have you than not, Okay?"

"Okay"

Tear stained both their cheeks that they quickly wiped in fear of the other seeing.

With Joey's temper lost and the entirety of Fria's upper lip smothered with blood, the two took their own faults and decided to walk to the square that Fria first spotted Dustin and Lucas spying on Max at.

They took a seat on the same bench and sat in cessation for a few minutes before Fria decided to break the silence.

"Well, at least he didn't notice"
