When Dev met Kyle

Twins

"Really Alex? Fifteen out of fifty!? That's a disgrace!" mum shouted at Alex. I would've been laughing if it hadn't been for the even worse mark I got - eight out of fifty. I was okay at school but since I entered sixth form my grades just went kaploonk.

Mum shook her head before putting Alex's test aside and picking mine up. I took a deep breath in, not ready for the next moments of shouting and guilt.

"And you Devon! What happened to you? I thought you were the smarter one but your even worse than your brother. This is preposterous!" she screamed. I shrugged, oblivious to how I should respond without her thinking I was chatting back. To be fair, whenever she told me off and I say something back, regardless of what I say, she takes it as back chatting and grounds me for the month. I am currently serving the three months that supposed 'back chatting' has earned me.

"Sorry mum." Alex frowns. I nod, showing I was sorry also. She takes a deep breath in.

"I'm going to meditate. You kids make me worry that your never going to move out." she sighs and leaves the kitchen. Alex and I look at each other for a few seconds before he leaves the kitchen too.

I sit down on one of the chairs around the small kitchen table and turn on my phone. Fifteen missed calls and four texts from the only person that is not my family on my contacts list. What the hell does Kyle want? Did he mistake my number for Alex's number. What a little fucker.

From: Kyle ;)

Ask Alex if he's going to Madelin's party tonight. Ta!

Have you asked him yet?

Oi Dev!

Answer back ASAP!!!!

DEVON!!!!

Oh yes, Alex got his phone taken off of him and banned from wi-fi for a two weeks because he tried to sneak out to his girlfriend's house on a school night and now I'm Kyle's messenger.

"Alex! Kyle wants to know if you're going to Madelin's party tonight!" I shout. It only takes a few seconds for him to charge down the stairs and grab my phone.

I wait patiently as he talks to Kyle. A few minutes pass and I become impatient.

"You're using all my credit!" I scream before trying to grab my phone back but Alex stretches his arm up so my phone was out of my reach.

"Give me my phone back!" I demand and all he does is laugh. What a cunt.

"What's all the noise about? I can hear you from outside." Dad rubs his head tiredly. Mine and Alex's attention immediately go to dad. Quickly, Alex gives me my phone back and goes up to his room. I go to my room too. We were absolutely terrified of dad.

Dad was an awesome father but he's like some sort of robot who doesn't have feelings. He never shows emotion and he doesn't refrain from threatening us that he'd send us to military school.

Curious, I read the texts that Alex and Kyle exchanged.

Me: It's Alex and I'm obviously going to Madelin's party. She is fit as 👌

Ew, gag.

Kyle ;) : Is your sister going?

Me: Why do you care?

Kyle ;) : She's my friend too ya know.

Me: She probably isn't going.

Kyle ;) : Oh okay.

Me: So u picking me up?

Kyle ;) : Yeah, c u soon.

I was planning to go but Madelin was quite a bitch. It was even worse my twin brother thought she was fit. His girlfriend, Tanya, was a bitch but not as bitchy as Madelin. Ugh!
