[b]Early afternoon,[/b]

The [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3656693]twins[/url] solemnly marched to the administrative office. Elvira, the older twin, looked sheepish while her baby sister, Regina, kept an amiable smile on, having to constantly assure that [i]yes it's OK[/i] that they were late to school [i]even[/i] with trouble with the school secretary ahead.

"[color=f6989d]At least we got out alive,[/color]" Elvira quipped with a nervous grin. She relaxed when her sister nodded with no hint of annoyance.

When the two walked into the intimidatingly spacious and quiet interiors of the office, Regina slowed her steps to hide behind her older sister. Elvira buckled up for the incoming onslaught and braved her way to the counter. "Miss Fitzherbert," recited the secretary boredly. "What a surprise."

"[color=f6989d]Yippy, nice to see you too, m'am![/color]" Elvira flashed her best jail card grin. "[color=f6989d]Did you change your hair? You look different today. It's great.[/color]"

"[color=fdc68a]Yes,[/color]" supplied the younger twin. She peeked at the secretary from over her sister's shoulder and nodded. "[color=fdc68a]You trimmed your hair...?[/color]" She shrunk back to hide herself again in case she got it wrong. She was more worried she embarrassed herself than upset the lady.

The secretary lifted her chin with a pleased smile. "Yes." She liked to be noticed. It was boring sitting in an office every weekday just dealing with teenagers.

"[color=f6989d]Yippy. Um, about our lateness, you don't think you can appeal for us, can you, m'am?[/color]" Elvira nervously stammered and tip-toed. "[color=f6989d]We are really sorry for being late! ...Again.[/color]"

"[color=fdc68a]Really sorry,[/color]" the quiet twin echoed.

"No, girls. You should each learn to keep your eyes on the finishing line. Miss Elvira, stop straying from the dormitory to the school compound. Miss Regina-" The secretary paused when she saw the younger twin flinch at being addressed and sighed. She rubbed her forehead tiredly. "Just fill up the papers over there as usual and get to your next class. Lunch time is over soon."

By the time they were done, lunch [i]was[/i] over already. The two girls filed in their slips, got a ticket each and left in a hurry to get changed for gym class. As always when they enter the place for the current lesson, Regina ducked behind her sister to escape eyes on her. "[color=f6989d]Hellooo, coach! Hellooo, everybody![/color]" The brunette waved with a bright smile and brighter rosy cheeks. She was flustered and excited for her favorite class.
