Take a Chance on Me

Ring, Ring. Hey, Get up or you’re going to be late.

She groans as she slams her hand down on the counter looking for her phone to turn off the Alarm, She pulls her phone to her face to see it better and She sighs. It’s 7 am, She sits up slowly rubbing her eyes with a yawn getting off the bed to go to the bathroom. She brushes her teeth and fixes her long strawberry blonde hair, today was bound to be a good day.

At least she hoped it would be. As it's the first day back to school.

This is Sophie, She’s a Sophomore at Beverly Hills. She currently is entering Junior Year along with her twin brother Casper.

[7:30 am]

Sophie makes her way downstairs ready for school and she’s smelling the result of eggs and bacon being cooked, there’s a smile on her face as she makes her way to the kitchen. “Hola Sophie, Good morning.” She nods her head to the maid “Hola Gloria, good morning.” She greets back seeing her mother’s back as she was facing the stove. “Is that my Sophie?”

“Yes, it’s me mama.” Sophie speaks softly. “Good morning honey!” Her mother spoke proudly, earning a smile from her “Good morning mom, where’s dad?”

“Sweetie he wanted to be here, but he got caught up in some business. He’ll be home for your birthday though I promise.” She says and Sophie couldn’t help the sigh that left her lips, it’s not a surprise. Sophie nodded her head at that but didn’t say anything sitting by the table, a few moments later she’s being served food cooing at her younger sister Chloe “Who’s a good girl? You are. You are!” She smiles seeing her sister clap her hands enthusiastically and babble to her, “You’re definitely a weirdo.” she’s poked and she turns around to see her twin brother and she rolls her eyes playfully.

sometimes. 

“Oh Casper, don’t be mad at me because you are not as smart.” Sophie teases and Casper rolls his eyes sitting down at the table, their mom serving him too. “I’m not mad about that, you know why?” He asked letting their younger sister chew on his finger “Why?” Sophie asks expecting a genuine explanation, Casper poked his bacon with a fork motioning it towards her “Simple really, I’m older than you.”  He says and right then Sophie’s eyes narrowed and she just stared at him.

He smirks laughing softly. He always does this, uses his 5 minutes of being older to pounce on her about it. Sophie doesn’t mind but she walked straight into this one.

How could she not have seen this coming? She should've been alert, But Casper always seems to catch her off guard. 

She shakes her head as she gave him this win, both her and her brother going back to eating their food so they could leave for school. Their mom sits down with them to drink some coffee and feed Chloe in her high chair, Sophie finished her food placing her bowl in the sink followed by Casper. Both kids kissed Chloe on the head and Casper also leaned in to give his mother a kiss on her head “Bye mom we love you.” He says for the both of them earning a smile from Sophie. 

No matter what people tried to say about Casper, they couldn't say that he wasn't a complete sweetheart. 

"Bye kids! Be good, I love you too." She says softly and they closed the door behind them, Casper made his way to his car and Sophie followed behind him, hopping into the car. She turned the radio on and Butter comes on, they smile at each other as the music starts to play.

"Smooth like butter, like a criminal under cover. Gonna pop like trouble, breaking into your heart like that." Sophie starts to sing and Casper smiles hyping her up "cool shade stunner, yeah I owe it all to my mother. Gonna pop like trouble, making you sweat like that." 

“Ain’t no other that can sweep you up like a robber, straight up I got you. Yeah we’re making you sweat like that. Break it down.” Casper sung and Sophie giggles softly knowing he’s giving her the attention to sing “Ooh when I look in the mirror, I’ll melt your heart into two. I got that superstar glow so oooooh, do the boogie like.” She sings happily.

“Slide step right left to my beat, high like the moon rock with me baby.” Casper sings as he drives them to school, “Know that I got that heat, let me show you cuz talk is cheap.” Sophie continues.

“Slide step right left to my beat, get it let it roll!” They sung in unison before simultaneously laughing in sync, Sophie smiles afterwards as her brother turns on to the lane of their school. If there was one thing she was beyond certain of, Casper was her best friend. She couldn’t picture a world without her literal other half. Casper pulls up to their school and he parks the car, Sophie gets out grabbing her book bag and he grabs his bag locking the car and closing the roof.

Sophie gets out and she waves to her brother as they both head to their respective first period class “I’ll see you at practice Casper!” She calls over her shoulder at her brother who nods his head with a smile “Have fun today Soph!” He calls back and she smiled entering her class just as the bell rang “Good morning class and welcome to English class.” Her teacher spoke and she got settled in her chair as the rest of the kids poured into the class.

It was Time to start the first day of school. Sophie hoped that like she said, it would go good.
