Meeting the Twins

Kimberly POV
Werewolves.
The two boys in front of us were werewolves.
How did I know? I caught them sniffing. They were subtle about it but that small action did catch my attention.
I could be wrong though. But even then, whatever species they were, they were still gorgeous. I turned back to Alice and nudged my elbow to her side.
“Alice, shut your mouth. You’re drooling.” I would have wanted to add you’re embarrassing me. But I knew better than to mock her. I didn’t need an enemy on my first day at school.
But she’s already your enemy.
Right on that.
I was to leave the front hall and Alice to go back to my room when one of the boys caught up with us.
“Are you new students? We haven’t seen you here before.”
And like a switch, Alice had her beautiful smile ready.
“Ye-yes, new students. Arrived today.” She spoke in a high-pitched voice and then giggled after.
I observed the two guys and checked them out again. Both of them are lean and muscular, must be from training. They also have dark brown hair. However, their eye color was different from each other. One has ocean blue eyes, while the other has forest green eyes.
The one with the blue eyes has softer looks though, he has a more genuine smile. The one with green eyes looked like a naughty boy to me. His smirks spelled trouble.
The one who approached us was the one with blue eyes.
“We are seniors. It’s nice to see new faces. By the way, I’m River and this is my twin brother, Ryder.” Ryder then stepped forward and gave us a salute.
Oh, they are twins! How cute! Werewolf twins!
“Hi, I’m Alice.” She brought out her hand. The twins shook her hand but when I looked over at Alice, she seemed to be a little disappointed.
Was she expecting the twins to kiss her hand? Eww…
“And you are?” River turned to face me.
I forgot that Alice did not introduce me as her step-sister. But I was okay with it.
“I’m Kimberly.” He smiled brightly and then said my name again. “Kimberly. That’s a beautiful name.”
“Are you two related? Friends?” Ryder asked.
“She’s my step-sister.” She said while she gritted her teeth. She followed it up with a muttered “unfortunately”, which I was sure the twins heard. I saw River raise his two brows. However, they let it go.
“Do you have a nickname? Or can I call you Kimmie?” Right then River reached his hand out for a handshake. Ryder’s eyebrow shoots up.
What’s up with him.
“Sure. Kimmie is fine.” I shrugged nonchalantly. I gave my hand to him and surely I felt a bit of electricity. It was mild though, but it was there.
Ryder shook my hand, too, and I felt the same mild electricity. So maybe, it was just me.
“Nice meeting you two, Alice and Kimmie. I am the president of the student council here. If you need any help, you could approach me or my brother.”
“Sure. Nice meeting you, too, River and Ryder.” Alice replied. From the high pitch, her voice became husky.
What was all that about? Was she flirting with the seniors?
I just nodded and smiled. And a second after, River waved his hand and went on his way followed by Ryder, who did not even say bye to us.
“I’m going back to my room,” I said to Alice.
“You don’t have to report to me what you are going to do. You can do anything you want. Just leave me alone.” She hissed at me before going the other way.
I shook my head in disbelief at the fast change in her moods. She was sweet in a second and a monster after.
I barely made it to my room when I heard my name being called.
“Kimmie!” I turned around and saw River.
“Hi again?” I was not sure of what to say. I didn’t want to get much attention and was hoping to graduate high school as quietly as I could.
“Hi! It was odd seeing you here.” He said with that bright smile again.
Why does he have to smile like that? Didn’t he know the effect it was giving to the females?
I know that he and his twin were very handsome and must be the heartthrobs of the academy. He must have a lot of ladies following him, he didn’t need me to add to his collection. Not that I would want to be on his fans list. I was here to study and knew that I am too young to fall in love.
But not too young to have a crush, Kimberly. You are going to be young only once.
“I was given a substitute room. My room was still being renovated.” I said shyly.
I was quite surprised by myself to be this shy. I was not normally shy around people. I like being with people. However, the kind of people that I was with in this school was different from the ones that I used to hang out with.
“Ooh..” His eyes widened. “You are a witch.”
“How did you know?” I gasped.
“My room is just beside yours. Ryder’s just on the other side. We knew the student who stayed here before and he was a wicked wizard.”
My face must have mirrored horror as River raised his arms after.
“No…he’s not mean. What I meant by wicked was he was totally good. A very good student and very nice.”
“What is she doing here?” Ryder arrived and then stood beside River. “Is she following us?”
“No, dummy. She’s staying in this room. Her room was still being renovated.”
“Ohhh… we have a witch here!” Ryder said. “Good. I have another one to play with.”
“Ryder, be nice to her. You don’t know what she can do to you.” River winked at me.
I didn’t know what Ryder meant by one to play with. But I surely hope I survive the upcoming days in this school.
