"Ok class. Today is the last day of school before winter break. Today I will be giving no work and you can talk amongst yourselves. No goofing around...Nathaniel Masters. Enjoy your last period and have a nice break."

Ms. Martin says to her junior physics class. She always called this period her favorite period. Everyone gets nice grades and not many problems happens in class. The occasional joke is thrown by Nathan, but he gets leveled down when Roy shuts him down before anything escalates.

Nathan and Roy doesn't share anything in common on the outside, but they do even each other out. They are the yin and yang of each other. Nathan is the reckless twin. He does his homework and projects as late as possible. He comes off as a stereotypical bad boy, but he's actually more like Roy than believe. Roy is the quiet twin. He speaks occasionally with his friends, but quits when his teachers speak. He is always the nicest person in his set of friends. Every girl treat him as one of them while Nathan hangs with mostly dudes.

"Aye Roy boy!" Nathan shouts from the back of the class to Roy who's on the other side of the room.

"Mom just texted me and told me to tell you to come straight home. Tell Vanessa you will see her during the break."

"Stay off your phones in class Nathaniel. Be like your brother for today. Look at him, he's not shouting across the class." Ms Martin shouts.

Roy was alway classified as the better twin. He's taller, more muscular, and generally a nicer person. Nathan just brushes those comments because he knows he isn't as bad as people think. Him and Roy both thinks he's just misunderstood and doesn't really know what to do in school.

Roy and the girl next to him both walks and sit next to Nathan and his two friends.

"Yo Vanessa. Why don't you leave boy for a real man." Says one of Nathan's friends.

"Yo. That's still my brother. You can't say that." Nathan shuts him up.

Roy and Vanessa leaves the awkward situation and quietly speak to each other.

"I'm just saying what we all thinking. Roy is lame and doesn't deserve a girl like Vanessa."

Nathan stands up from his desk and lean into his face.

"If you talk about Roy one more time, I'm going to kick your teeth in!" Nathan argues.

"Chill man. Everyone thinks it. His just your twin brother. If he didn't have that he wouldn't be known. Come on. You have to know he's just the lesser tw-" he is cut off by the punch of Nathan's fist. He punches him so hard he lands out of his seat. They wrestle on the ground while the teacher calls for back up to break them apart. Roy watches as Nathan beats up his best friend for him.

The fight goes on for a minute before Nathan's other friend gets into the fight to fight Nathan. He's is shocked to see two of his friends fight him on the last day of school. Roy shook from seeing his brother once win a fight to getting held down by his best friends.

"Roy!" Nathan yells. This shout wakes Roy up from the inside. He moves Vanessa out of the way to push the second friend off of him. They flings punches left and right. Desks are getting tipped over due to the rough housing from the brother.

"Get him Roy!" Vanessa yells as Roy and Nathan has the upper hand of the two.

One jarring movement three security officers barge into the room and jets to the fight. With the help of Vanessa and Nathan's female friend the fight was broken up and all four was sent out of the classroom. Nathan has several bruises on his body, but nothing that won't heal fully in a week. Roy just has his clothes stretched out by the grip of the boys pulling him. While the other two has blood pouring from their faces and purple jaws.

The rest of the almost empty class stars quietly as four boys are forcefully pulls out of the class until the bell rings and the rest of the class meet back up with them.

"We got em Roy." Nathan says looking back at him in the grip of a officer b

"I'm going to get suspended Nathan."

"It's winter break. How much more can you get suspended. Plus this makes a cool story. You beat a guy up Roy. You can now cross this off your bucket list." He winks.

The twins are thrown in one office while the other two are put in another. They sit down in the two seats in front of one of the principals.

"Roy, what are you doing here? Why are both of you here in my office." The scrawled aggressive face of the principal says.

"Well some boy was being disrespectful to Roy so I punched him. Then another boy jumped in so Roy protected me.  Roy didn't do anything bad, it was all my fault. So don't suspend him please."

"I was the reason Nathan fought him. I shouldn't have moved around them. Nathan protected me. It's all my fault."

They argue about which one of them should get in trouble and which one should be safe.

"Chill young men. Your teacher talked to me before you got here. She's told me that it was the other young men fault. In our school we do not condone bullying and will not attack students who protects other students. You both will not get in trouble. The other two boys on the other hand. They will be given days of detention as soon as they get back to school. For you two. Have a nice winter break....and don't come back here in trouble. I won't be nice." The principal smile and shoes then out the door.

Once the reach the outside, they both jet out the hallway and out of the school. Roy shakes his red messy hair and smiles walking home. Outside they see a group of people waiting on them to exit so they can talk about the fight.

They walk and talk with their friends until a black limousine drives slowly in front of them. The limousine has a speaker of the roof that lets out a soft screeching sound that maybe dogs can hear. The sound is so powerful that the kids staring at the car covers their ears in pain and blacks out onto the ground.

Two men in black suits slowly jumps out the car and grabs the twins and lifts them to show the car with tinted windows.

"Are theses the boys?" Questions the bigger men in black.

The window rolls down to see a teen boy with a bloody nose and a slight darkened know of the side of his face.

"Yep. Those are the boys, dad."

The two men drags the boys into the car and leaves the other people who were walking with them. The two men buckets the twins up and drives off smoothly with the unconscious boys.
