Grayson
Grayson and Macy had just moved and had their first day of school at Fort Carson tomorrow. Grayson had a pit in her stomach.
"Girls, it's time for bed!" Their step-mom shouted as the girls ran around the house hitting each other.
"Why?!" They whined simultaneously.
"It's nearly nine o-clock." Their Dad, Troy piped in.
"I don't want to go!" I yelled, running from Macy's torment.
"You have to!" Macy yelled at me and smacked me on the head again.
I turned around and kicked Macy in the stomach.
"Don't hit your sister!" Dad yelled at me.
"But I wasn't hitting her." I complained. " I was kicking her! and she hit me too!"
" Both of you stop hitting each other." Dad glared at me. " And no kicking either, go brush your teeth."
I growled at him and Macy and I marched to the bathroom to brush our teeth. I put my tooth brush in my mouth and started to brush my teeth and braces. Macy walked up to me and shoved me out of the way so she could get to the sink.
" Really?" I asked with a mouthful of blue toothpaste foam.
" Well you take up the whole sink Grayson!" She started laughing and I got a really confused look on my face.
" Why are you laughing?"
" You have braces!" She teased. " Brace face, Brace face, Brace face."
" Well your gonna need them!" I shouted. " Your teeth are crooked too."
She stuck out her tongue and started laughing. We finished brushing our teeth and went up to our room to go to sleep. I set the alarm clock to six thirty and shut the lights out to go to bed. I stumbled to my bed in the dark and finally got there safely. Macy and I fell asleep quickly.

" BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP"
I woke up with a jump as the alarm clock blared from the desk by my bed. I stumbled out of bed and turned the horrible noise maker off. I walked over to the wall. Well what I thought was the wall. I ran into the door frame with my head and mumbled a few choice words. I flipped on the light switch and walked over to were my glasses were sitting on the desk.
" Macy!" I shouted. " Get up! We are going to be late for the bus."
Macy mumbled something that sounded like 'I don't want to get up.'
" Ill go get a cup of water and dump it on your head!" I replied.
" I'm up, I'm up!" She shouted as she half fell out of her bed.
I walked over to were a bunch of my clean clothes were stacked and grabbed a pair of basketball shorts and my North American Cup (NAC) fencing shirt. Yes I'm a fencer. As I walked out of our bedroom I grabbed my Lincoln fencing hoodie and ran down the steps. It was six forty and we had to leave soon to get to the bus on time.
" Dad!" I shouted from the kitchen. " We are going to miss the bus!" I heard grumbling and shuffling from inside his bedroom as he got out of bed and went into the bathroom. I grabbed a granola bar and stuffed it in my book bag as I gathered up all my stuff and yelled at Macy to hurry and get down the stairs. Dad got out of the bathroom and I ran in to brush my hair and teeth and regular things like that. I got out of the bathroom as Macy came down the steps and told her to hurry up.
" Hurry up girls! and get in the car!" Dad yelled at us as he walked out the door to start the car.
Macy got out of the bathroom and we both grabbed out book bags and ran out the door. Dad drove about twelve blocks to the Anderson's Glass store. ( That was our bus stop.) The bus arrived at about seven o-clock. Macy and I climbed out of the car and walked over to the bus were we saw a bunch of faces that didn't look to nice. Macy and I climbed onto the bus and found a seat in the way back. A girl with a purple book bag sat next to us on the other side of the aisle in the one person seat. She had headphones in and was looking at her phone. She looked about are age and she looked nice. I dug out my book, The Rangers Apprentice, I was about to open it when I saw something in the corner of my eye. I looked over to see the girl with headphones looking at me.
"Are you guys twins?" The mystery girl asked.
"Uh, ya we are." Macy replied. " Im Macy, this is my twin, Grayson."
Mystery girl smiled. "That's so cool." She replied and smiled again. "My name is Taylor."
