“Hello…” She quietly greeted. It was a guy, I knew it. Erica only acts this
spellbound if there is a hot guy around.
“Hey,” The voice responded. And it was a guy’s voice, but not one I recognized.
My curiosity got the better of me, so I got up to stand behind Erica to see who was at the door.
“Um, yeah, me and my brother just moved next door, and, um, he’s being a fucking
bitch and we, well, we need some help.” It was one of them, unfortunately!
I couldn’t tell if it was Benji or Joel, but boy did he change…whoever he was…
“Ya know, Erica, most people would be the polite neighbor, and answer…” I
joked, trying to break the awkward silence. I looked at the ‘Madden’ in front of me. He actually looked, well,
how should I put it? Sane! He had short, messed up black hair, dark brown eyes, and awesome converses on! He also had numerous
tattoos on his arms under his black “Atticus” Tee.
“Um…sure,” Erica finally answered. “We’d love to!”
“We?” I questioned, but reluctantly followed Erica and…what’s his face…into
the hallway, and the next door ‘Hell’.
“Oh my Fucking Lord!” I whispered under my breath. The other twin lay on a couch,
listening to the stereo that was blasting out Green Day.
I immediately knew that that twin was Benji, it had
to be! One, because his now black hair had hot pink spikes in it, and only Benji
would do that! Also, unless it had to do with food or girls, I remembered, he preferred to be a complete lazy ass!
*Wow! They have totally changed…A lot!* I thought. Just then, Benji decided to move/
wake up (LOL) and see who was here.
“Ah, Joel, my good man!” He stated, faking a British accent. “I see you have
found us help, because of your clumsy ways…” I rolled my eyes and stepped out from behind Joel.
“Ya know Benji,” I started in my real
British accent. “You’d think after 9 years of knowing who I am, and me, you’d have learned to speak properly!”
I smirked at the sight of him. Benji took, like, a HUGE double take, and his jaw dropped.
“Could it be?” He started, using the accent again, once he regained composure.
“Yep, you’re right, it’s God!” I said sarcastically, but my _expression
quickly exchanged to shock when the pink spiked guy started to bow at my feet before me.
Joel, instead, decided to kick his brother in the stomach. “Fuck off Benji.” He
said. Benji, in response, covered his stomach and moaned off back to the couch.
“Sorry about that…um, Cosette, I take it?” Joel said to me. *Great* I thought. *Me and my big mouth!* Well, now that they know
who I am, might as well get the introductions over with.
“Yep, you found me,” I sighed. Joel held out his hand, and I shook it. “It’s
been what…6 years since I last saw you?” I questioned, mostly asking the question to myself. He smiled and looked
away.
“Yeah, so…we should get started…” He left his sentence in midair and
walked over to Benji, trying to get him to move his fat ass.
I, instead, walked over to Erica. I was surprised. She’s never this quiet around a guy! NEVER! She was standing in a corner, looking at some book or another…
“Hey,” She said when she looked up at me. “Look at these,” Erica pointed
to some pictures. It was a picture of me, her, with Benji and Joel with some other kid…Billy, I think. Benji was putting
two fingers behind my head, while I glared at him, and Erica and Joel were laughing at us….Billy just kinda was standing
there. It was our 6th grade field trip picture.
“Why of us?” Erica questioned. I figured the question was more for her, than to
me, so I didn’t respond.
“Ya people gonna help or what?” Called Benji, carrying a box of what looked like
DVD’s. Joel closely followed carrying CD’s. Erica quickly shut the photo album, and walked over to help Benji,
so I was left with by the large CD stand, helping Joel.
We only just opened the box, when Joel and I heard a loud crash from behind us.
"Oops!" Benji exclaimed, scrambling around to fix all the DVD and movie cases. I laughed and
rolled my eyes.
"Same old Benji!" I chuckled, pulling out a stack of CD's and looking through them. "Wow," I
muttered. "These are amazing! Beatles, Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Green Day...Everything!!!" That's right; they had the most awesome
collection of CD's EVER!!!
"Thanks." Joel stated, flipping through them. I glanced around the room and I noticed an acoustic
and an electric guitar laying against the wall.
"Do you play?" I asked, curiously. Joel followed my gaze and looked at the guitars.
"Nah, they're Benji's."
"You mean he has enough energy to get his ass off
the couch to play?" I joked, after putting the last CD into the stand. Joel laughed alongside me, and stood up. He held out
his hand to help me up.
"Believe it or not, yeah!"
