"I want to know that guy, Xiera. I want to see him. Immediately." (So that I can slit his throat) I seriously said.
"A-All right, Dev, tomorrow I'll introduce him to you at school" she said. I nodded.
"You should tell them soon too, Xiera. You must not keep a secret to them. And you actually know what the consequences you'll face, right? Be ready" I warned her. She gulped before nodding at me.
"Then should we sleep now. It's already nighttime. Or you want us to watch a movie first? I have a movie to recommend you know, it's actually good" I recommend.
"Sure, that'll be fun. And Dev, can I sleep in your room, please?" She asked while having those puppy eyes. She's really cute! I can't resist her. Well, even if she's not cute I still can't resist her. She's my twin, but I'm more like the big sister to the two of us.
I can say that I am more matured than her. Mature early because of experiences. Mature early because of the pain and the hatred. And mature early for Xiera. I must be tough for her.
I chuckled and patted her head. "Of course you can. Why not? I also miss sleeping with my twin" I said with a side smile on my face.
"Really? Thank you, Dev! You really are the best twin in the world no one can even object!" she giggled.
"Don't say that. There's someone out there who's more good and better of a sibling than me. You can say that I am just doing my part as your twin sister and your acting big sister" I chuckled.
"Oh, no! For me you're the best twin and big sister ever! You sacrifice a lot for me you know. And I am very grateful for that, Dev. But, can you please stop this now—"
"What for? For mom and dad be disappointed in you too? No way! I won't let that happen. I don't want to see you getting hurt by them. And also, they will be suspicious of me if my grades suddenly went up right? So let's just continue doing this."
"But they're hurting you, Dev. I also don't like it seeing you getting hurt by them. If you can't stand seeing me getting hurt by them then I can't with you too! You-You actually don't consider my feelings, Dev. And that's one of the thing I hate about you. I also hate it when you're sacrificing you're because of me. I am very grateful but...I just can't take it anymore, Dev" Tears starts streaming down Xiera's face. I immediately hug her.
"I'm sorry, Dev. But if it means me being selfish to protect you then I rather be a selfish bitch for you just to keep you safe. Just to stay you away from the pain. You know, I don't want you to experience what I've experienced. I'm sorry Xiera, I always listen to you but at this topic again like I said, mom and dad and not even you can't stop me"

Xiera and I are here now in the canteen while waiting for her boyfriend. Later a man arrived, his face is familiar.
"Babe" it said. Xiera suddenly stood up and hugged the man. When they parted they sat side by side in front of me.
"A-Ah, Dev, he's Clay, he's our classmate" Xiera said. So, I'm right, he's one of our classmate. I'm sorry, I can't memorize the names and faces of my classmates. Tsk! I don't care about them.
I just nodded.
"So, Clay, how long have you courten my twin?" I asked with a irritated tone.
By the way, they know that Xiera and I were twins, but they don't tell the public because mom and dad paid them to keep me a secret. If they reveal me in the public about my identity, my parents would ruin their lives. Yeah, they would go that far just so the public won't know. They really were ashamed of me, huh?
"A-Ah 1 month" he replied. W-What the heck?! Just one month?!
"Xiera, you made the two of you official immediately? Seriously, just for one month of courting?
“Y-Yeah. Don't be m-mad, Dev. I love him so I made the two of us official immediately" she said. I don't know why I have a bad feeling about this Clay. I don’t know why I felt nervous for my twin.
"A month of courtship is not enough for you to get to know each other!" I exclaimed.
They both bent their heads. I sighed and looked at Clay.
"So, Ken, do you know the consequences of this? Are you ready to face our parents? Are you ready to face the whole Alegre no the whole Scott?" I asked him threateningly.
"Yes, before I start courting her I'm ready for what might happen." I nodded.
"Don't worry, I won't object to the relationship between the two of you. If my twin is happy with you, then I will support her. Don't worry I won't be your problem, I won't interfere with you either" the two seemed relief now.
"But, don't do that 'thing' cause we are only 14." I warned them. Clay suddenly smiled at me.
"Don't worry, I respect Xiera. You can count me in"
"And don't I ever see Xiera's eyes, crying because of you. Hurting because of you. You'll know what will happen" I threatened him.
"Yes, I'll just make her of happiness." He promise.
"Good," I said. I'm not convinced by everything this man said. But, I can’t resist because I see my twin happy with him. I see the happiness in her eyes that I have never seen before, except now.
I hope you don't hurt her, Clay. I will trust you for now. I hope you are true to what you said.
I hope ... I feel wrong about you. I hope you won't make a fool of my twin. Because if so, I don't know what will I do to you.
