I. Dusk
USUALLY, LEIA JUNE MORGAN'S FRIDAY NIGHT'S CONSISTED OF HANGING OUT IN HER ROOM, OR HANGING READING BOOKS DOWNSTAIRS WHILE A MOVIE IS PLAYING. Minus the book part, Leia was sitting on her couch with her little sister, Jane, watching their favorite movie, Dusk. Everyone who knows Jane, knows that it is her favorite movie. However, when it comes to Leia, she would drop dead if anyone found out it was hers too, so she begged Jane not to tell anyone. Yet, here they are watching it, Jane's eyes were glued to the television, while Leia looked up every once in a while. As Leia turned her head, she saw her twin brother, Ethan, and his best friend Benny in their kitchen. Curious, she stood up from her comfy position on the couch to meet them in there. She had a smile on her face as she saw what seemed to be a whole bunch of candy laid out on the table.
"What did you do, rob an ice cream truck or something?" Ethan asked as he still placed some candy down, not really caring if he actually did rob one or not. Benny scoffed before he looked up to see the girl of his dreams in front of him. Ever since Benny has known Ethan, he has known his twin, Leia. And ever since Benny met Leia in class, he knew that one day they would end up together. He always likes to call her babe or some romantic nickname to annoy her, and to maybe see how she feels, but she always denies it. However, for the past couple of months, the girl has realized that she has feelings for him too. Her middle school "relationship" made her realize that Benny is the one she wants to spend her time with. Sadly, she never really knows if he is joking about liking her or not.
"I don't care if you did, as long as you got some reese cups." Benny smiled, holding the last item in his hand, which was a king size reese cup, just for her. She smiled, taking it from him. "Did I tell you how much I love you?" She gushed as she started to open the candy. Benny prayed that the twins couldn't see his blush forming. Ethan rolled his eyes. He knows about how Benny likes Leia, but he doesn't know about Leia's crush on the boy. He wouldn't mind if they dated, it just annoys him when they pretend to flirt or things like that.
"Oh come on, that's enough!" The three of them laughed as Benny continued to talk about what he originally came here for. "Tomorrow we officially join the high school brotherhood." Leia stared at Benny before he changed his sentence. "And sisterhood." She nodded, making him smile.
Leia sat down, as the guys finished putting everything on the table. "We are men." Benny corrected himself after looking straight at Leia. "And Woman. We must mark the moment." Ethan had a huge smile on his face as he turned to look at his twin, and best friend. "Let's make it the Sunday to end all Sunday's." Leia laughed at her twins statement. Both of the boys turned to face her, "sorry. Sorry. Continue." They were nerds, and Leia was one too, but she wouldn't change it for the world.
Leia ate a bit of her chocolate as Ethan started to open the bag marshmallows. "Remember grade five when you put 176 of these in your mouth?" He asked, Benny. Leia tilted her head before speaking. "176. That's impressive. I only got three before I almost choked." Ethan laughed as Benny let out a light chuckle, remembering the day. Ethan looked at Leia. "Yeah, mom was so pissed." Leia nodded. Her mom made Leia promise she wouldn't do anything like that again. Leia was so upset, that if she ate a thing of marshmallows she would end up being guilty.
Going back to the numbers, Benny scoffed. "Yeah, right. It was 186." Ethan shook his head. "No way! I did 172; you did 176. You barely hit 150, and Leia barely hit 4." Leia rolled her eyes at his comment.
"You didn't need to add that part in, E." She said.
As the teenagers were arguing, Jane had moved her position on the couch, to the floor. She rolled her eyes at their conversation, wanting peace and quiet so she could watch Dusk. Only if mom would listen to her and put a tv in her room, she wouldn't have to be annoyed at them.
Leia stopped eating her chocolate and watched the boys fight over the bag of marshmallows. "You guys are such dorks," she laughed. Benny turned to look at her. "Yeah but you love us." Leia tilted her head in a sarcastic way, shrugging her shoulders making Benny roll his eyes and throw a piece of candy at her, trying not to hit her head.
''Rude," she said throwing one back at him as he continued to fight with Ethan. By this point in time, Jane started to get worried. She kept on hearing a weird noise outside, but didn't want to make a big deal out of it. If it was, the three teens in the room across from her would do something about it.
"Hey, Ethan, do you hear that?" She asked, without getting a response.
The boys were too busy stuffing their faces, and trying to keep a count of what piece of mellow they were at. Leia was too busy trying to mark down what count they were out, to try to avoid a conflict later on. "Leia, do you hear that?" With no response, the young girl sighed.
Getting up, she brought her bunny with her to go check out the noise that was being made. "Ew, Ethan, stop trying to speak. You guys are tied." Ethan stuck the bird at his twin, as they had no idea Jane was even going outside. Before they knew it, they heard of scream, which belonged to their little sister. "Jane?" Leia said with confusion. She was the first one to get out of her seat, the boys followed shortly after. As Leia made it outside, she saw that her parents were home. Their mother hugged Jane, with a disgusted look on her face as she watched Ethan and Benny spit out what seemed to be marshmallows out of their mouth.
"You're home early,'' Ethan announced.
Leia stood in fear, in the middle of the boys, as Benny waved awardkly in the air. "How as date night?" Leia asked, trying to clear out the awkwardness.
As their parents attention turned to Jane, the teens looked towards each other. Leia had a look of disgust as she pushed Benny to the side, as he spit out the rest of the Marshmallows. Ethan turned to his twin, worried of the kind of trouble they were going to be in. It was going to be an interesting first week of highschool, that's for sure.
