Chapter sixty three
Bonding
It's morning, everyone's busy getting ready for school or work, well except for those who don't have a school or a work to go, people like aunt Gina and her baby boy.
Aunt Gina: Hurry up Diego, you don't want to be late
Diego: I wish I can be like little Jimmy who doesn't have anywhere to hurry to
Aunt Gina: Be careful for what you wish for, a wish fairy might be in the corners
Diego: Oh wish fairy, please teleport me to school right now (they both laugh)
Lucy: (Enters) I'm off, Diego be fast with your breakfast so as not to be late
Diego: Wait mom, who's gonna take me to school?
Lucy: Gina will, she will take you to school, I already gave her keys to the other car. (Kisses his hair) take care my darling. Don't make enemies. (Leaves)
Gina: She's the CEO of the company but still bothers to get there on time, I admire that
Diego: And I admire you who doesn't need to go anywhere on time (Jimmy cries)
Gina: Jimmy's awake. You'll have to wait a little more for me to dress him so he can go with us.
Diego: That's fine by me, I have thirty minutes more
Gina: Great
—-----------------------------
Lola: (On a video call) Mom, when will you come home? It's been months
Mom: I know my darling but mom has some things to do, modelling is always like this.
Lola: I checked your post on your page, you were in some club enjoying yourself
Mom: That's part of work Dear
Lila: (Enters) Dont be deceived Lola, partying and wasting your time is not part of work
Mom: Don't you talk to me like that
Lila: I was talking to Lola not you
Mom: I'm not In the mood to argue with you today Lila, take care (Hangs up)
Lola: You made mom hang up!
Lila: Like it was her intention to talk to us. She doesn't care about us, Lola
Lola: Mom's just busy that's it
Lila: Uh huh..
Anyways, I just came to ask if you're ready for school, I won't leave you this time, I will make you get to school early today
Lola: (chuckles) Hiya captain (Goes to the bathroom)
Bring out clothes for me to wear, Oh Captain!
At school
Gina is driving into the school at the same time with the twins' driver. She drops Diego and leaves. Diego stood and waited for the twins to come out from the car.
Lola: Why is this dumb boy waiting?
Lila: Is it wrong for him to wait for a friend?
Lola: He is your friend?
Lila: Yeap
Lola: Hmm (Walks into the school)
Lila: (Goes to meet Diego) Hola Diego
Diego: Hola Amigo
Lila: How are you?
Diego: Bien
I got to know yesterday that you had a twin. You never mentioned her
Lila: We only talked once, how can I tell you I had a twin?
Hi, I'm a twin.
Does that sound cool to you?
Diego: Sassy is a common trait between you too
Lila: Excuse me?
Diego: Oh, I see you've met my twin. I'm Lila, she's Lola. We're the L'stars.
This is much better, miss sassy.
Lila: How about, hi I'm Lila, I have a womb mate called Lola. (They both laugh)
I see us bonding….
Wait, did you just say L'stars?
Diego: Yeap
Lila: Well, I see you've checked us up. Yesterday, you asked for my name, I was like, this guy doesn't know me, well I won't tell him.
Diego: So you wouldn't have told me?
Lila: No. It seems good to make friends with people who just like you and not because you're famous.
Diego: I understand..
Lila: Yeah
Diego: I want to be a star too…
Lila: You sing?
Diego: No. I play basketball. But I can rap, lol. But basketball is my thing.
(They enter the class)
Lila: Nice
Maybe someday you can come to my house and make friends with my Dad. He's a basketball player.
Diego: He plays basketball and acts too?
Lila: Yeah. He was a musician in his highschool days also.
A renowned one. Online star as my sisters and I are. Actually, he inspired us.
Diego: That's cool.
I learnt that your mom's a model too. Your family is full of stars. I admire that.
Lila: Yeah.
How about your parents? Siblings?
Diego: I don't have a sibling, yet though. Cause I still hope to have one.
My grand mom is a good surgeon, my grandfather is the owner of a company. My mom has her own company too and my aunt is the best ever. My uncle is an American soldier.
Lila: You have a big family. That's cool.
I wish I had grandparents too.
How about your Dad?
Diego: (frowns) I don't wanna talk about him
Lila: I understand.
I don't like talking about my mom too
I bet you have a happy family
Diego: And I bet you have one too
Lila: Let's exchange bodies shall we? (Both laugh. Teacher enters the class)
At a free period in class.
A girl walks up to Lila and Diego.
Girl: Hi Diego. I'm Kira
Diego: Nice to meet you, Kira
Kira: Thank you.
Um, can we be friends?
Diego: I don't know…
Who's that guy that's sitting close to you?
Kira: Oh, glasses guy?
He's name is Josh
Diego: Hi Josh!
Can I come join you? (Everyone gasped)
Kira: You don't wanna be with him..
He's a nerd. He'll taint your image
Lila: Everyone deserves attention, Kira
Kira: You just talked to me? (Surprised) Am I blessed or what?
Diego: I'l be back, Lila (Goes to meet Josh)
Kira:(Elated) You just talked to me L, I'm so happy!
Lila : Diego you came to talk to is gone. Scat. (Kira quickly leaves)
If I tell her to jump off a cliff and die, she'll totally do it.
She wants to make friends with me but can't. Pathetic!
(Lola is just busy with her phone and didn't care one bit of anything happening around her, even though she's just right besides her sister)
Lola! Lola!
Lola: Yeah?
Lila: What's up with you?
Lola: Nothing's up
Lila: Don't tell me you're still bothered about that woman.
Lola: (Sighs)
