The Golden Key
Chapter one: Twins
“Holy Gee did you see that girl and what she is wearing?” I stared out the window of the train not really taking in what Laurel; my best friend said. The dreary clouds ran across the dark grey sky, lighting forking down towards the grey rubble underneath the wearing out train tracks our small shabby cart had to go through. I could see my reflection in the mirror; my brown hair was placed into a high pony tail, my dark brown eyes stared back at me. Turning away from it stared at my hands rested on the pale green table.
“Hey you’ll never guess who asked me out tonight” I heard Laurel say in a dreamy tone “C’mon guess I bet you won’t get it. Now that I mention it are you coming to the spring fling hosted at Melanie’s house this ave?”
I felt the train lurch as it separated into a different set of track’s leading to Stratusburg. I sighed at Laurel trying not to seem like a complete idiot.
“Me have a date” I said plainly turning back towards the window, staring at ominous view outside.
“You know if you tried a little you could get someone. I mean c’mon you haven’t even been kissed yet.” Laurel scoffed slurping the last remains of her diet cola, her hair falling into her hazel eyes brimmed with black make up.
“Laurel I haven’t even been on a date”
“Exactly I can try and hook you up…”
“No! I told you I don’t want a boyfriend, I don’t need a boyfriend. It is only you and that new squad of yours that seems to think that dating someone is the most important thing in high school.” I muttered through gritted teeth my voice growing. Laurel went silent not bothering to bug me on the matter anymore. But I was telling the truth! At this age, I didn’t care at all about what clothes I wore, what kind of a party's I went out too or what type of guy I had following me around like a fly!
“Fine, do you know there are to hunks coming to our school. Melanie said she saw two twins being given a tour yesterday during third period!” I just nodded, it just went through one ear and out through the other with Laurel.
“They’re twins! Brotherly love, so cute!” She chirped, the chewing gum she popped in her mouth was losing it's colour, I stared away from it disgusted.
“Can we talk about something different like the excursion our history class is going on tomorrow. Aren’t you excited we get to see stuff that is probably older than my grandmother” I began to jump excitedly in my chair ignoring the strange look’s coming from people around us.
“I don’t like the idea of having to find an artifact and have to do an a thousand word report on it. And I definitely don’t want to go searching in caves to see rocks when you can just go to the jewelers, that's such a stale thing to do. In caves you get absolutely no sun shine what so ever. Some of us have to get a tan and fast you know Saffron.” Laurel sniggered staring into her school book bag for any sign of spare change. I stopped jumping my hands still up in the air.
“Do you have to be such a kill joy! I actually like the idea of finding rocks and the report isn’t that bad I have had worse.”
“I bet you have” she pulled out her phone to stare the screen mesmerizingly. I hung my head for the fifth time today “Why do you do that all the time” I pouted my lips bored. Sighing I stared out the window again, a small tree bent down dangerously low as winds and thick water beads pelted onto its hard surface. Grabbing at my pen in front of me I stared down at my class time table.
“History first with Mr. Black” I looked up at Laurel to see her make a face, she held a pink compact in her pale palm, rubbing lip gloss across her lips. I smirked at her, staring down at the book I hand in my lap, I dog eared the side as a book mark. Placing it into my book bag I stared at the front cover; a girl held a heavy looking sword above her head into the dark desolate sky.
“Marine of Dragonshire” I whispered the girl’s name to myself, her elven face looking forward. As if her eyes were boring into mine. I closed the flap of the book bag to stare at my hands.
"How much longer is this going to take?" I groaned dropping my head onto the table with a thud.
********************************
The dark black building towered into the clouds, sun rays seeped through the thick clouds framing the large black clock nailed above the school’s office. Stepping out of the dark blue bus, I felt Laurel push past me screaming in a high pitched tone. I jumped in fear as she began to run towards the black grated gates the point's shone as the sun ray's hit them.
“Mel, my small little baby” Laurel squealed flinging herself into a petite looking blonde girl’s arms. They both began to jump up and down squealing in high pitched tones, I smirked at the show. Placing my hands behind me back I began to walk towards the school, walking past Laurel I felt her eyes boring into my neck. Metal tables were scattered around the front of the school, students of all sizes sat at them laughing and talking loudly.
Biting in the insides of my lips, I felt my pony tail whip at my neck in the thick winds. Laurel was different to me in many way’s that was probably why we didn’t hang around as much. She liked boy’s more than anything else, she went on so many dates that I couldn’t keep count, she was invited to all the major parties and had every one trying to be her friend. Me I had other friends but they were just a small group, I had no guy’s that liked me, I never went to parties, I hadn’t ever been on a date or ever been kissed, hugged or touched by the opposite sex, and most importantly I cared much more for school work than guys.
Hanging my head slightly as I approached the yellow mustard stair’s leading into the middle of the school, I began to climb them my heart heavy. Laurel never had time for me anymore, I was often left alone at Lunch time to dwell in my imagination the only place I felt secure and happy. Smiling slightly to myself I began to run through the buildings trying not to turn into a blubbery mess. I heard the distant sound of the bell clanging against itself, stopping in my tracks I fell back onto my two feet. My life was so boring it was always the same thing wake up eat, get ready for school and watch TV, school, come home, study, make dinner, watch TV with family, shower, sleep. The same routine day in day out, never anything exciting happened to me.
Walking towards the main building I stopped in front of the stair’s staring up at the glass window covering the pale yellow wall. Dirt and dust covered every corner of the window making it hard to look out from. Walking up the stair’s I could hear voices as student’s began to advance towards their classes. I looked down as I stumbled up towards the second floor, staring at my dirt scuffed shoes I tried to see someone I knew. Dropping my bag down next to the port rack’s the dark green paint was slowly shedding, falling onto the timber floor underneath it.
“It’s good to see you Saffron, someone is nice an early today” I turned at the sound of my name, I saw Mr. Black walking towards me a plastic tray filled with papers and pen’s underneath his right arm the other held his leather wallet the sound of clinking money echoed in the hall’s.
“Yeah” I smiled trying to friendly, I blinked at him as he placed small chrome keys into the key hole underneath the steel door knob. “How was your day?” I asked
“Pretty good” he smiled at me as he opened the door, the smell of lime filled my nostrils making gag. Mr. Black laughed at my reaction as he walked towards the white desk. I could see more student’s coming towards my history class looking bored and tired. Grabbing at my book’s and pencil case I walked in sitting heavily at the back next to the thin window plane.
“Hello” Mr. Black greeted other people as more of the students from history walked in laughing and smiling. Closing my eyes I rested my head on my desk trying not to seem totally spaced out. An image of me holding dual blades filled my head, I twisted and twirled kicking back opponents with grace and speed. I smiled slightly, I felt someone hit against my desk. Looking up suddenly I saw Tina sit down.
“Hey Saffron” She said cheerily, I gave her a smile waving my hand as best as I could.
“Not one for word’s today”
I shook my head, rocking back in my chair I laughed “No I am just joking how was your day?”
“Crap! Darren broke up with me” Darren was Tina’s Mr. Right we at least she liked to think so. I could see her eyes were red from tears, I frowned trying to sympathetic.
“I’m so sorry” I muttered, she shrugged slightly throwing me another smile that looked more forced than the last. I opened my book’s “Well at least you’ll get away for a few day’s”
She looked at me confused, her eyes than lit up as she realized what I was saying “The excursion yeah…I do want to go but then not really”
“Why not?” I asked, was I the only one that actually wanted to go on this thing. Wasn’t anyone else interested in museums, ancient caves and other sites that are well…awesome!
“Well I am going to miss my friend’s” She sighed sadly “But then I could meet someone nice down there, like a tour guide’s son” I stared at her smiling slightly I looked down at my book scribbling in the margin. “Or I might get more acquainted with the new twins!” I stopped drawing, I heard a cheery voice in the door way.
“Mr. Black we have new student’s!” I heard Laurel sing loudly, I looked up slowly my pencil dropping from my hands.
“It’s them, it’s them” Tina tapped my desk, I looked at her evenly in the eyes shaking my head.
“Welcome to Stratusburg Academy, you must Tyson and Thomas” I could hear gasp’s coming from girls scattered around the room. I felt my eyes lock with Laurel she was smiling at me, she stood on the other side of Melanie who was trying to act as mature as she could. My eyes skirted to who stood next them.
“Holy” I heard Tina mutter.
