i slam on my alarm & groaned. hi. i'm jackline wheeler. i turned in my bed & ended up sprawling out on the floor. i whined. "JACKIEEEE! MIKEE! NANCYYY! GET READY FOR SCHOOL! THERE'S BREAKFAST IN THE KITCHEN!" mom yelled. you could hear us collectively groan from across the street.
i started getting dressed & decided to dress up based on the fall-like weather.

i brushed my hair back then flipped my hair up & down. i look in the mirror. "looking nice." i walk downstairs into the kitchen. i chug some of the orange juice then put jelly on toast & grabbed to pieces of bacon. i quickly ate & grabbed my keychain with my house & car keys. i decided to ride my skateboard to school.

6:45 am

i got to school right after this blue camaro pulled in. 'i wonder who that is.' i thought. i picked up my board & started walking toward nancy's car after she pulled in. i knock on her driver window. "hey nance can i put my skateboard in your car?" i asked after she rolled the window down. "yeah sure." she popped the trunk & i shoved it in there.
when i closed the trunk i made eye contact with the owner of the blue camaro. "hey nance i know you do your weird research shit before we move somewhere so do you know who that is?" "no surprisingly & researching is not weird!" she scoffs. "it is when you know everything about a place nobody's even glanced at you in." i laugh. "shut up jackie!" she rolls her eyes.
"just saying." i shrug my shoulders. "i'm gonna go talk to him; he seems, interesting." i walked over while i watched him argue with a redhead that's smaller than him then rode off to im guessing the middle school. "i'm guessing that's your step sister?" i asked him. his piercing blue eyes stare back at me while lighting a cigarette. "yeah. she's a bitch." "you seem like one too. jackie wheeler." i introduced. "billy. billy hargrove but you can call me-" "don't go there because you won't be able to come back." i interrupted.
he puts his hands up in defense. "got it." he takes a drag of his cigarette & passes to me. "hm?" he questioned. "sure." i took it & took a drag & coughed a little.

"i'm gonna go find my sister & get to class, have fun being a high school dropout!" jessie ran away. or wait no, jammie. no no wait, JACKIE! yeah, jackie. i smiled at her comment & walked in the school & i watched her talk nervously to an administrator, holding her sister's finger like a child. i scoff. 'that's weirdly cute.' i shocked myself at the thought. no no no no. i DO NOT like her this soon. NO WAY. the action was just cute & weird. yeah. that's it.

i caught this group of girls staring at me so i wink at them & walk past them. i could hear their panties get wet as they swooned for me. i smirked. "wow the ladies love you already!" i jumped at the voice of jackie following me. "where's your sister you hold onto for dear life?" i looked down at her. i watched her face become a light shade of pink. "t-the administrator told me that we," she points between me & her. "somehow have all of the same classes & i only have 2 with nance, my sister so i'll just follow you to class." she smiles. "i'm just as new as you are so good luck finding me going to class." i laughed. "i'll be there!!" she squeaks with a mix of singing, laughing as well.
"gosh you sound like nails against a chalkboard." i hold my ears. "oh shut up you know you love me already. i seen the way you were looking at me while i talked to the administrator with nance." she giggled. i choked on my spit. "y-you seen me?" i coughed. "i was gawking right back at you! you looked like you were stuck in a trance." she laughed. "HEEEEEYYYYY! we're not going to class! we are we going?!" she whined realizing the halls are empty. "i told you not to depend on me going to class." i shrug. she looks at her schedule. "class..703.." she dragged off then grabbed my arm. "COME ON WE'RE ALREADY LATE!" she ran.

jackie

"j-jammie! wait no, j..j-jackie let go!" he struggled to remember my name. "no billy! you couldn't even remember my name." i rolled my eyes & made it to the class knocking on the door. "jackie! w-what are you doing?!" he whisper shouted standing up after i finally let him go.
"hargrove. wheeler. the new students are late." the teacher scoffed. "class, we have 2 more additional new students besides nancy." my face lit up knowing this is one of nancy's classes. the teacher signaled us in. "hi. i'm jackline. you can call me jackie & nancy's my twin." i quietly introduced myself & sat next to nancy.
"billy hargrove. hate me or don't. i don't care." billy sat down on my right side. [seating just in case: nancy | jackie | billy] *time skipping* "everyone but billy & jackie are dismissed!" the teacher spoke as the bell rang. "billy & jackie; why were you 2 late?" the teacher stared at us. i was getting anxious & started playing with arm sleeve & bounced my leg. billy put his hand on my thigh to get me to stop & it threw me off guard. i looked down & seem his rings. i looked at him to find him already staring at me so assuming it was a form of consent to play with his rings i smiled & did so; zoning out.
"jackie? jackie wheeler. hellooooo jackline?" i heard the teacher's muffled voice call me to attention.
"um yeah. sorry, what?" i shake my head & rub my eyes. "we have a week detention sweetheart." billy whispered in my ear, laughing. i blushed then realized. "w-wait what?! a week for being what, 20 minutes late?!" i fumed. "we have a strict schedule jackline. either show up on time or not at all." the teacher spoke. "starting today, you two have detention for the rest of the week. when the clock says 5:30pm you're free to go. i'm confident i don't have to watch you two so i'll be making copies of tomorrow's work in the copy room." the teacher slaps his knees before walking off.

"fucking no good divorced bitch." jackie cursed. "LANGUAGE!" i joked with a snobby sounding voice. "screw off." she whines & puts her head down. "letmeknowwhenitstimetoleave." she muffling spoke. "got it." i nod.

4:00 pm

it's been a quiet hour & i got bored so i started messing with jackie, poking her. "jackieeeee wake up." i spoke. she groaned. "5 more minutes mom." she slurred. "it's billy not your mom. wake up jackline." i whispered in her ear & she jolted up. there was drool on her face & a long string of it connecting to the table we shared. i laughed. "i guessing it was a good nap."
she wiped her face & the table with her sleeve. "shut up. what time is it?" "4. it's only been an hour we have an hour & a half left." "oh." she muttered laying on my shoulder. i quickly moved away. "what are you doing?" i questioned. "oh, nothing i just thought tha- never mind." she laid her head back on the desk. i felt bad so i moved her back on my shoulder. "shut up don't say anything." i spoke. i heard her giggle & felt her smile on my shoulder. i smiled softly. i pulled my cigarettes out & my lighter. "wait- you're not gonna smoke in here are you?" she asked. "no i'm gonna take the cigarette apart & dissect it." i joked. "we're gonna be in deep shit if you get caught." she scoffed.
i take a drag & gave her my hand. "shhh just play with the pretty hand with the pretty rings." i sarcastically cooed to her & she listened. "hm." i muttered.

4:25 pm

sooner or later, jackie fell back asleep so i relaxed & dropped my shoulders slowly. 'wait.' i look down. 'she fell asleep holding my hand. cute.' i smiled to myself & laid my head on hers. i slowly drifted to sleep myself.

6:40pm

jackie

i woke up, feeling weight on my head. i adjusted my eyes to the lowly dimmed room & searched for the clock. 6:40pm. i tapped billy's hand in my lap then whispered. "billy. wake up we stayed here too long." i spoke softly. "billy!wake up." i spoke louder than earlier poking his face with my hand. he woke up & slowly lifted his head. "huh? what?" he looked around confused. "we stayed overtime because we both fell back asleep." i giggled.
he quickly took his hand away from me after realizing i was still holding it & my smiled faded. "can you give me a drive home? i left my skateboard in my sister's car & obviously she isn't here anymore." i asked. he nodded. "sure come on."
