2 Plus 2 Equals 4, And Then 1 More!, chapter 1
"Hello," I answered the phone.
"Um hey Malloy, What's up?" the person said.
"This isn't Mallory. This is her twin sister Jewel," I replied laughing.
"She's a twin? Oh shit. Well, is Mallory there?" he asked.
"Yeah, but who's this?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, I'm her friend Mike." Mike said.
"I've never heard about you. Where did you two meet?" I asked.
"The mall yesterday," he replied.
"Okay. I guess. Hold on while I get her. MAL!" I yelled.
"What?!" she asked as she walked in the room.
"Mike is on the phone," I said.
"Cool thanks," she said taking the phone out of my hands.
Let me fill you in. My name is Jewel. I have a twin sister named Mallory. We are 16. We are best friends, we never fight, and we tell each other everything. We look exactly alike. Except I have green eyes, and she has brown. We have blonde hair, and both of us are 5'4, and we both are very slim, but not in an anorexic kind of way.
We live in Oakland, California with our parents, who are junkies. They both aare drug addicts. Our parents names are Rex and Wendy. Our lives are pretty messed up. We dress like we don't give a shit. We aren't those girls, that use "like," every other sentence. We hate stupid preps like that. Anyway back to the story.
Mallory talked on the phone with this mystery guy named Mike that I knew nothing about, for an hour or so. She hung up the phone and sat next to me on my bed.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"Oh, some guy I met at the mall yesterday. He's in a band." she said.
"Nice, so he's got friends." I said laughing.
"Yeah. He is so hot," she replied.
"What does he look like?" I asked.
"Well, he has deep blue eyes, and blonde hair. He's tall, and has a big nose." she said giggling, "but I think it makes him sexy."
I rolled my eyes.
"His band is playing down at Gilman tonight. You want to go check them out?" she asked.
"Yeah sure. We have to ask mom and dad though. They are both drunk right now," I said rolling my eyes.
"Let's go ask them now, before they fall asleep somewhere," she said.
"Mal, why can't we have normal parents? Like. the ones you see on T.V. Like Mike and Carol from the Brady Bunch? We are stuck with two drug addicts," I said.
"I know, but we are stuck with this shit. At least we have each other," she said pulling me into a hug.
"Yeah," I said, hugging her back.
We walked down stairs to find our parents drinking on the couch.
"Mom, Dad, can we go down to Gilman tonight?" Mallory asked.
"No, Jewel you can't," my dad said.
"Dad, I'm Jewel. How can you not tell apart your own daughters?" I said getting angry.
"Either way, you're not going," he said.
"Rex, if they go we have the whole house to ourselves, meaning we can get wasted even more," my mom said.
"So, is that a yes?" I asked.
"Yeah, get the hell out of here, and here's 20 bucks. Do what you want. And do us a favor and don't comeback until tomorrow afternoon," my dad said.
"Where the hell do you expect us to sleep?" Mal asked.
"Find one of your little boyfriends you sleep around with." my mom said.
"What the hell? Mal and I both are virgins. Where do you come off saying something like that?" I said defending my sister.
"Whatever, just get out of here," my mom said.
We walked back upstairs and packed an overnight backpack and then took the bus to Gilman.
It was about 7:30, when some guy attacked Mal by jumping on her back.
"Dude, get off my sister." I said punching him in the arm. Mal laughed and so did the guy.
"Jewel, this is Mike," Mal said.
"Oh. Sorry." I said reaching for his hand. He shook my hand, "Mal, you're right, he does have a big nose."
"You don't like my nose?" Mike said touching his nose.
"Jewel!" she said getting red. "That's not all I said, Mike."
"Yeah, she thinks it's 'sexy,' And I quote that." I said laughing hysterically.
"God Jewel. Way to go. Thanks for embarrassing me sis," Mal said.
"You know you love me." I said pinching her cheeks.
Mike laughed and then stared at us.
"What the hell are you looking at punk?" I said pretending to be mad.
He backed away, "Nothing ya'll just look exactly alike. I can't tell the difference," he said.
"Look, I have brown eyes. And Jewel has green eyes. Simple as that," Mal explained.
"Cool. Let me get my friends. So you can meet them." he said walking off to the crowd.
"Do you like him?" Mal asked.
"Eww, no! Not like that. His nose is to big, his Adam's apples is to thick, he looks like a bird," I said laughing.
"He does not!!! But, I mean do you like him for me?" she asked.
"Yeah, he's adequate." I said trying to sound smart.
"Adequate? That's the same thing as 'okay,' right?" she asked dumbly.
"Yeah. He looks like your type." I said.
"Cool. I think I like him. But I'm not quite sure. I'm going to play it by ear," she said.
"Good choice," I said.
I saw Mike in the distance and he was being followed by two guys. When he reached us, I saw the other two guys clearer. One had jet black hair, and beautiful green eyes. He's gorgeous. The other was pretty hot too, he had piercing blue eyes, and green hair. The black haired one, looked at me and smiled, I smiled back.
"Mike, you said there was going to be chocolate...wait this is better than chocolate...twins," the green haired guy said.
"This is Tré. Tré, this is Jewel and Mallory," Mike said.
So obviously Tre has green hair. Who's the other one? I thought
"Which one is which?" The black haired guy said.
I raised up my hand, "I'm Jewel."
He smiled again sweetly. "I'm Billie Joe," he said reaching out for my hand. I shook it and blushed.
"We are on in five minutes guys," Mike said.
"Good luck guys," I said to them, but only looking at Billie Joe.
"Thanks," Billie said smiling back.
"Um hey Malloy, What's up?" the person said.
"This isn't Mallory. This is her twin sister Jewel," I replied laughing.
"She's a twin? Oh shit. Well, is Mallory there?" he asked.
"Yeah, but who's this?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, I'm her friend Mike." Mike said.
"I've never heard about you. Where did you two meet?" I asked.
