IDENTICAL SISTERS

Sophia's POV( The Calm)

I gave myself one final bloody stare before leaving the room.

As soon as I stepped out the door, the first unfortunate face I saw was that of my brother.

"Hello sis" he smiled and hugged me.

" How was your night, I came to your room earlier to call you but you were still asleep"

"You're actually lucky I didn't see you in my room, cause I've warned you several times not to come into my room" I said and tried walking away but he held me back.

"You didn't even answer my greeting sis. did I do something to offend you?" he asked.

"Tristan you didn't do anything wrong okay, I just don't like you" I replied him

I know his just putting up an act cause him mom and my dad are at home, as usual his trying to make himself look pitiful and in turn making me look bad in front of our parents.

He sighed and left. I took a deep breath and followed behind him and we both bursted out in the dinning room where mom and dad were already having breakfast.

Tristan pecked mom and dad on the cheeks before taking a seat besides mom.

"Goodmorning mom, goodmorning dad" I greeted both of them.

"Morning pretty and how was your night?" Mom asked

I know mum's just trying to be nice cause dad is around. Else, she'd have just ignored me.

"It was fine, thanks. I mumbled

"Are you set for the excursion?" Dad asked and I nodded

"Where is the location" mom asked although she doesn't care

"Manilla" I replied and tucked my hair behind my ear.

"Alright, just let me know before leaving okay?" Dad said

This is quite shocking though, this is the first time dad is actually concerned about me.

"Alright dad. Uhmmm.. I'll be on my way now dad" I said as I stood up.

"Won't you be joining us for breakfast?" Mom asked with a smile plastered on her face.

" Why pretending like you care about me?" I asked

"Don't talk to your mom that way Sophia" dad shouted at me

"She isn't and will never be my mom and dad I'll be sure to eat before leaving for the excursion" I replied

" Okay dear, have a safe trip." She said before dad could open his mouth

I just smiled at her.

How can someone be this good at pretending?

"Bye, Kim" Tristan replied and I managed to smile at him and I left.

Manilla

Celine POV( The Crazy)

I sat on my bicycle whistling as I drove along the streets,headed home.

As I rode on my new bicycle, the cold breeze blew my hair and I loved it that way.

" Hey! Get off the road ,you old man!" I yelled to a man who was standing in my way, he turned and moved away in shock.

"Who did you just call an old man?" He asked and I stucked out my tongue to him and continued riding.

Then, I saw two women who were chatting noisily on the road and I purposely rode in between them to split them up.

"Celine, what's wrong with you?" One of them asked angrily.

"You two talk too much and I don't like it" I told them and went my way.

" This girl really has no respect" I heard one of the passerby say

"Do you have some for sale?" I asked and drove past her.

I continued whistling till I got home, I parked my beautiful bicycle by the door side.

I opened the door into the sitting room and burnt smell welcomed me immediately.

And just then I remembered that the rice was on fire . I took to my heels and ran to the kitchen immediately, turning off the gas.

Good heavens, why did it have to burn? Couldn't it have waited a little longer for me to get home?

What do I do now?

Just then, the door opened in the sitting room and I knew dad was back. I'm finally dead.

"Celine!" He called and I ran to him.

" Dad!"I called and embraced him, he was a little surprised.

" You probably did something wrong right? Tell me what it is and I won't scold you" dad replied

"I went out to get something and before I returned home the food had already burnt to ashes" I said while giving him the puppy face

"Why would you leave the food on the fire in the first place?" Dad asked

" I didn't know it was going to burn dad. I had an agreement with the rice that it would wait for me to get back" I said

" You are one silly kid. By the way, we need to talk." he told me and I rolled my eyes

I already have a hit on what his about to say.

Why haven't you been going to school for some days now?" He asked

" I told you already dad, I've been waking up these days with serious headaches" I replied

" Really? you've been having headaches for five days now and when I offer to get you drugs you refuse. Young lady you had better start telling me the truth"

"Fine dad, I was suspended" I pouted my lips and he scoffed.

" Are you serious right now? Its been barely 2 weeks you got suspended for slapping your teacher and here you are with yet again another suspension. What did you do this time" he snapped.

" It wasn't my fault dad. I was on my own when the principal daughter decided to look for my trouble so I beat her up"

" What!! You beat up the principal daughter?"

" Yes father, she was staring rudely at me. Just because her dad owns the school she feels she can misbehave. I needed to put some senses into her thick head" I defended

" Celine, how many times will I warn you to stop fighting? How long have you been suspended?"

" It'll be over by Monday" I replied with a wink.

"Okay. Mrs Theresa told me you stole her biscuits"

" That's a lie dad, I didn't steal it. I only took it without telling her" I replied and bit my nails.

" I seee. Well, Alex mom also told me you had a fight with her daughter. What exactly is wrong with you Celine?"

" Actually dad I didn't her, If I did she would be in the hospital. I only beat her up" I told him and he scoffed.

" Celine how many times will I tell you this. You're a girl and you shouldn't be fighting with people. If you continue this way, you'd only chase away your future husband's"

"And whoever said I needed a man dad when I have you. They can all go to hell,I dont care"

He stared at me as we both smiled.

" By the way dad I'm really hungry" I said while giving him the baby face.

" Alright , take this bag to the room while I quickly make us something to eat"

" Make it tasty" I told him as I carried the bag he came back with to the kitchen.

My dad and I .. we're not that rich but we're happy. Atleast we manage to eat three square meals a day.

He loves me and I also love him so so much. Our small little house doesn't matter to us as long as we are always together.

I got into my room and my eyes beam at the sight on the table.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh...

I rushed to it immediately, picking up the picture.

Thank goodness dad hadn't entered my room to see it.

I stared at it before I put it away.

It was an old picture I had found in dad's old belongings. He looked young and handsome then and he was sitting beside a young beautiful lady and guess what? They were with two identical babies.

Yes.

I have tried asking dad about the picture but he'd only get angry and tell me not to ever ask him about the lady. So since then I kept the picture to myself and never questioned him again.

But I sometimes wonder who the woman and the babies are and why do they have such effect on dad whenever I bring up the question?

I don't know why but I have a cranky feeling about it. Could dad be hiding something from me?

I sighed and then put the picture away before leaving the room. I decided to help dad out in the kitchen even though I don't know how to cook.

I joined dad in the kitchen and then I remembered I had forgotten to wash the dirty pots but thankfully dad had already washed the pots.

" Dad I'll be back shortly, let me get us some chicken to eat with the food" I said while scratching my ear

" I know you are trying to avoid my scolding but go ahead, you'd still come back and meet me here"

" But it's not that bad dad, you could actually give it to those street begers, I'm sure they'll be really happy" I replied as I got outside and rode off with my bicycle.

Sophia's POV

The car pulled over in the schools gate and I stepped out immediately with my bag.

Students could be seen waiting for the school bus to arrive.

I walked into the school compound hoping and praying that i get to see Sandra.

Just when I was about passing, I saw Sonia and her crew bullying one of the new students. I seriously don't know what kind of joy they derive in doing that.

"Hello freak" Sonia called with a smirk plastered on her face.

"Hi" I said and tried to walk away.

Sonia was holding a cup of juice and she let it fall purposely, making it spill on my shoes

"Oppsss. Sorry" she giggle with her girls and walked away.

"Sophia" someone called from behind and I turned to see it was Sandra.

Thank goodness.

Sandra is my bestfriend and probably the only friend I have.

" Don't tell me Sonia tried to bully you again? You should learn how to stand up for yourself already Sophia" she said as she came close to me and I shrugged.

" Just let them be already Sophia. You know very well the condition I'm facing at home and I wouldn't want to worsen it" I replied.

"Anyways, how are things going with you today" she went ahead to ask.

"Same as always, dad is back and the old witch and her son are trying to play nice. By the way, when will the bus arrive? I had to skip breakfast thinking I was late" I said.

" Oh! The proprietor said there was a little delay but the bus will be here soon. You know really we will be going back to manilla. Remember I had told you I made a new friend there when I went for the summer vacation? She said dreamily.

" That's a long time ago, how do you plan on finding him?"

" Uhmmm... I still remember the place I last saw him. All I have to do is go back to that store"

" But Sandra, it's just a day trip and...

" I know ( she cuts in) we'll just have to leave very early and return before any one notices we are gone" she winks at me

" What do you mean by we? I'm not going anywhere with you" I said with a frown.

" I won't beg you but mark my words, you'll definitely come with me".

I laughed and just then the school bus arrives.

"Hurry up sophia, we need to get comfortable seats" she took my hand as we ran towards the bus.

Celine POV

On my way to get the chicken I decided to stop at RolandsArt store, I smiled as I got closer.

Geeez. I almost hit someone.

" Hey! Are you blind? Will you move your fat self out of the way!" I yelled at him and he moved out of the way immediately.

" Celine, whats the meaning of this?"

" Don't call my name with that smelling mouth of yours" I snorted as I packed my bicycle infront of the art store.

You're probably wondering what brought me here ? This is me, I love arts and everything that concerns it.

I got into the store as I met with the grumpy looking old receptionist.

He shot me an angry Stare as I gave him the fuck you sign.

He's still upset with me cause I told him he would die single . Whatever, not like I care about him anyways.

I looked around and saw Mr Roland... he was working on a drawing.

I like his works alot, his more like mentor to me. His married and he has two kids.

" Mr Roland" I called

"Hey Celine, you startled me" he smiled

" Yeah I know. So what are you working on this time around?" I asked.

" Just working on some customers orders. They are much and I barely even know how to handle them all" he complained.

" I can come over tomorrow and help you" I said as I placed my hands on my chin.

" Oh my Celine! Are you serious?" He beamed.

" It's not as if I'll be doing anything tomorrow. Since I'm on suspension".. I paused realizing I should have said that.

He flinched and looked at me.

" Goodness Celine, what did you do this time around?"

" I didn't do anything. You know very well I'm a peaceful girl who loves minding her business. I was on my own when the girl asked me to beat her, I only granted her wish" I replied with a frown as he scoffed.

" You're the opposite of peace Celine" he said but I just rolled my eyes at him.

" Whatever, I need some poster colour" I said as I walked over to the shelf.

I took out the colours I needed and walked back to him.

" I'll just pay the money to you, I don't want to talk to that ugly looking man" I told him.

" Don't worry about that, I'm giving it to you. Consider it a gift from me to you" he said and I gasped.

" You're such a nice man, if not that you are old I would have married you. But instead I'll be here tomorrow morning to help you out" I said ecstatically and he smiled.

" You funny kid, make sure you stay out of trouble okay?"

" Of course sir, I'll be on my way now. Byeeee!" I waved happily at him as I walked out.

Mr Roland is actually a nice man and that's the only thing that's saving him from my troubles.

I got to the reception and I rolled my eyes at the grumpy old man.

" Won't you be paying for those?" He asked as I was about walking away. I stopped and scoffed.

" What will you do if I refuse to pay" I replied

I smirked and was about walking away when I paused and looked at him.

" You actually look like an ape whenever you frown" I jibed at him and finally left.

I got outside to where my bicycle was parked when a boy walked upto me with chocolate in his hands.

" Um.. Damon asked me to give this to you" he said as he handed over the chocolate to me.

This boy amazes me, how many times will I ask him to stay far away from me?

I collected the chocolate harshly from the boy.

"Go back and tell Damon that I can never date him. Because if we end up dating and then we try to kiss he might just swallow my tiny lips with those big lips of his. Tell him to save some money and go for a lips surgery" I rasped and hit him with the chocolate on his head.

He touched his head in shock and then he ran away.

I wonder why some guys are wicked and heartless. They know they're ugly, yet the go for beautiful girls like me. Before any guy can approach me he has to be handsome.

He must have pretty brown eyes, the perfect nose, sweet accents and finally a nice walking steps but so far I havent seen someone like that.

That's the least of my problems right now but those stupid ugly boys has better stay away from me or else I will end up beating them to a pulp.

I climbed on my bicyle and without hesitation I started riding off blissfully.

Celine POV

I returned home and met dad in the kitchen preparing something delicious.

"Dad!" I called excitedly and hugged him from behind

Thank God his cooking, I'm damn hungry.

" What do you want miss?" he replied as he continued with his cooking'"

"What are you cooking dad?" I asked and he flared at me.

" Well that shouldn't bother you as you're not going to have a taste of it. You fried rice is still there in the plate" she said.

" Daddd" I called

" You should be ashamed of yourself Celine, at your age you can't cook"

" Dad, you know very well I can cook. It's not my fault the rice burnt" I said making baby face.

" Where's the roasted chicken you went to buy" he asked

" Jezzz.... I totally forgot about it dad" he glared at me

He ignored me and continued cooking, I folded my hands and watched him. There's no way he'd cook without giving me. His actually the sweetest person I know.

Sophia's POV

After we had all settled in our different rooms, Sandra walked up to me

"I can't wait for sunrise Sophia, I'll finally get to see him" she said happily.

I smiled and also sat beside her.

" Don't tell me you're still thinking about that? You heard what the director said, we are leaving this place first thing tomorrow morning"

" Oh please Sophia, that's how they always say but end up leaving around afternoon" she cuts in.

" So.. what happens if you don't find him there?" I asked and she thought for a while.

" Try to be optimistic okay" she hit me playfully

" Whatever, if you are planning to wake up early tomorrow then we should just go to bed" I told her

"Hey!"

" Goodnight sandy" I cut her off as I laid on the bed.

⌚ ⌚⌚

Celine POV

I was trying to fix my hair when dad walked in to my room fully dressed for work.

" Celine" he called out making me panick.

What have I done again?

" Where did you say you were going to this early?" He asked

" I told you Mr Roland asked for my help in the store today" I replied and exhaled deeply.

"Come here" he said and made me sit in front of the mirror.

He took a hair brush and started brushing my long dark hair. Isn't he romantic?

We both didn't say anything until he was done brushing my hair and I stood up.

" Thanks alot dad" I beamed and reached for my bag.

and reached for my bag.

"Make sure you stay out of trouble Celine"

"I can't promise you that dad" I hugged him as I ran off.

I got outside to where my bicyle was parked and climed on it immediately, taking off.

Sophia POV

Finally, after what seemed like forever to me * we got to her destination* as she asked the cab man to pullover.

" Thank you Mr" she said after paying him.

I looked around and I must confess, the environment looked really nice.

" Wish me goodluck sophia" she held me hand as we walked away.

Soo, where does this boy stay?" I asked

" Over there" she pointed to a place not so far from the studio.

"Why don't you go ahead, I'll just wait here for you sandy" I said as I withdrew my hands from hers.

" Come on ..."

" I don't feel like going in sandy, don't force it"

" Suit yourself then" she walked out angrily.

I turned around and was about heading to the ice cream kiosk when I saw something that caught my attention.

I paused as it got me stunned.

It was a mother and her baby having so much fun. Sadly, I can't relate to it.

I sniffed and tried to fight back the tears that was threatening to come out.

Then I turned around and went to get my ice cream.

Celine POV

I whistled on my bicycle feeling really happy. I don't know why but I just felt excites for no reason and for that I won't be looking for anyone's trouble today.

Unfortunately I bumped into a lady.

Holy gracious!

What the hell?

I knocked her down with my bicycle and the ice cream she was holding spilled on the floor.

" Why weren't you careful huh? Are you blind or something?" I asked as I stepped down from my bicycle.

Although I was wrong, but it's also her fault. Just when I decide to be nice she choose to come out with her trouble.

She stood up slowly , backing me at first. I couldn't see her face.

" Hey, don't you know how to use the sorry word" I yelled

" It's also your fault you dimwit" she said and turned towards me. My jaws dropped immediately.

Her eyes opened in shock the same time with mine.

"What!!" We said the same time

I flinched and stepped back a little

How is this possible?c

Why the heck does she look exactly like me?

Sophia POV

I was done buying the ice cream and was about going to stand under a shade when someone knocked me down with her bicycle and I found myself falling on the floor.

I groaned and tried to regain my strength

Who could this be?

The audacity she has to ask me if I was blind when it's clearly her fault.

I stood up and turned to look at her, my jaws dropped immediately. What the hell?

I don't understand what's going on. I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

She also looked surprised. What's going on?

"Hey" she called and camera closer to me.

" Who are you?"

I just stared at her from head to toe. She looked exactly like me. The only difference is the length of our hair.

" I ask again, who are you?" She asked again.

She looked around and grippeed my hand and started walking away.

Celine POV

I took her to a quiet corner where I'm very sure we wont be seen by anyone.

I let go of her hands as soon as we got there.

" If you don't tell me who you are this minute, I'm going to beat you up" she said pointing her hands towards me.

" Who are you and why the hell do you look like me?"I asked again asked again

" I'm as confused as you are" she replied.

" Are you some sort of spy huh? Who sent you?" I still asked .

" I'm not.. I don't even base here, I came for my schools excursion" she replied

I've heard of a situation where people look alike, but this is just too much of a coincidence.

" What's your name?" I asked and she replied "Sophia"

"You stay with your parents?" I asked again.

" My dad and my step mom"

" What happened to your mom?"

" She died when I was 6" she replied

I furrowed my brows.

This is too much of a coincidence. I was still thinking when she cut in

" And who are you?" She asked

" Can you come with me? I need to show you something" I told her but she ignored me

" Anyways you don't have a choice tho, wait here I'll get you a veil to cover your face. I'm quite popular around here and people can't see us together" I left while she scoffed.

Thank goodness I had a little money on me. I rushed to the nearest shop and bought a blue veil. I returned to where she was and handed the veil to her.

She covered her face with the veil and that was it was quite impossible for anyone to figure out that we actually looked alike.

" So where are we going?" She asked

" Home" I replied
