<h4>Chapter 115 - Twins II</h4>


    <strong>Chapter 113</strong>


    After the call with Pepper ended, I stood still for a moment in the hallway.


    I pocketed my phone and walked back into Carly''s living room. The girls were still lounging, Be quietly resting in her spot.


    "Good news!" I said, while patting Be''s head.


    But the reaction wasn''t what I expected. They just looked at me briefly, then went back to what they were doing.


    After a moment, I raised an eyebrow and said, a little indignant, "No one''s going to ask?"


    The three of themughed.


    "We already know you, suspense boy," Sam said, mocking.


    "And if I said it''s about Britney singing, what''re you gonna do?" I shot back, grinning.


    "What?!" they all screamed at once.


    Laura immediately scooted closer to me, eyes wide.


    Sam leaned in too, nearly shoulder to shoulder.


    Carly stood up and walked over, positioning herself right in front of me.


    "We closed the deal. It will be two songs," I said.


    "We''re gonna meet Britney?" Laura asked excitedly.


    "Yes, pretty cool, huh?!" I replied with a smile.


    The four of us kept chatting about it—and other random things—until eventually Laura and I got up.


    "See youter at the smoothie store?" I asked.


    "Yes," Carly said.


    "Where are you going?" Sam asked.


    "We''re gonna enjoy ourst days," I said, then made some obnoxious kissing noises.


    Sam kicked me, Carly booed, and even Be barked in protest.


    I gasped in mock betrayal. "Even you, Be...?"


    "Come on," Laura said,ughing as she pulled me by the arm


    ---


    After a while, Laura and I made our way to the smoothie store. Just as we were approaching, we saw Sam walking out with arge smoothie in hand.


    She raised an eyebrow at us. "Took you long enough."


    We exchanged quick goodbyes, then headed inside.


    Freddie and Carly were already there, sitting at one of the corner tables. As soon as they saw us, Carly waved us over.


    We walked up and sat down with them and ordered two smoothies.


    Just momentster, a girl who looked exactly like Sam walked out from the bathroom


    "Hey, Freddie," she said with a bright smile.


    "You must be Mnie. I''m Jake," I said, offering a friendly smile.


    Laura followed up, giving a small wave. "Hi, I''m Laura."


    "Oh, not you two too," Freddie muttered, shaking his head.


    "Where''s Sam?" Mnie asked.


    "Oh, she had to go back," Carly replied.


    "Yes. And isn''t it interesting how Sam had to leave right before you showed up here?" Freddie added, narrowing his eyes to Mnie.


    "Is he still on this?" Mnie sighed.


    "Uh-huh," Carly said, nodding.


    "I will say it''s impressive that you changed your clothes and hair so fast," Freddie continued.


    "Freddie, I''m really Mnie. I''m really Sam''s sister," she said.


    "Oh, are you?" Freddie challenged.


    "I am," Mnie insisted. "Anyway, I gotta go meet my mom at the clinic," she added as she stood up


    "Wait," he said. "Since you''re Mnie, how would you like to go on a date with me this Saturday night?"


    "Oh," Mnie blinked. "Well, that''d be really cool. I''d love to."


    "Oh, you—really?" Freddie asked, surprised.


    "Sure," Mnie replied.


    "Okay then."


    "Okay. Bye," she said with a smile.


    And the two of them walked out together (Freddie needed to go too), making the moment a little more awkward


    "What just happened?" Laura asked, intrigued.


    "My boy''s all grown up," I said with a proud smile. "He has a date tomorrow."


    Carly finally snapped out of her daze. "Wow, that came out of nowhere."


    "Carly, exin please," I asked, turning to her.


    "Freddie thinks we''re pranking him, and Mnie is fake—like it''s Sam in disguise," Carly exined.


    "Yeah, that''s what I was guessing..." I said, nodding.


    "And you didn''t think of warning him?" Laura asked, raising an eyebrow.


    "I don''t see the harm in it," I shrugged. "He even got a date."


    We allughed.


    ---


    On Saturday night, Laura and I went to a teen-friendly party—no alcohol was being served. Cher and Regina couldn''te because they had to travel with their families.


    Laura was sitting beside me at arge table filled with members of the football team. Terrance was right next to us, still wearing his letterman jacket. The party was in celebration of the football team''s big win earlier that afternoon—they had just clinched the regional championship.


    I leaned back and waved at a passing waitress. "Come on, bring more food, please," I said, even though the table already looked like a medieval tavern banquet.


    "Don''t we have enough food?" Laura asked, surprised.


    "Are you not seeing these orcs?" Iughed, ncing at Terrance and the rest of the team.


    "Come on, guys, let''s eat! There''s more toe!" I shouted.


    That earned a round of cheers and a few loud whoops from around the table.


    "Now you''re like a shaman orc," Laura said yfully.


    "When did you be a nerdy?" I asked, surprised.


    "I know a thing or two," Laura replied with a wink.


    Then Terrance leaned toward me and pointed across the room. "Isn''t that Freddie and Sam?" he asked, nodding toward a distant spot near the long couches.


    From where we were—far from the dance floor and lounging areas—I could see two familiar figures sitting together in conversation.


    "Not really, that''s Mnie—Sam''s twin sister," I replied casually.


    Then I added, "Hey, Terrance, do me a favor. Tell the boys if some idiot tries to interrupt those two, to kick his ass."


    "You betcha," Terrance said, cracking his knuckles with both fists.


    After a good while of eating, most of the guys now had a girl sitting beside them. Terrance was with a really tall girl—though she still looked small next to him.


    Then, a slow song started ying. Laura stood up and gently pulled me with her toward the dance floor.


    While we danced, she leaned in and whispered, "You''re dancing well."


    "It''s not just Regina and Cher who''ve been taking secret lessons," I replied with a chuckle.


    <i>Dancing isn''t just useful for a singer like me—it''s also for moments like this.</i>


    As we swayed, I nced across the room and spotted Freddie and Mnie sharing a kiss.


    "And heee scooores," I muttered with a grin.


    Lauraughed softly and leaned closer. "You''d rather watch your friend kiss someone... or kiss me?"


    I didn''t say a word—I just kissed her.
