Creative Writing Series 3

3.     Identical twins, a party invitation, and a locked closet.

It wouldn’t be long now. The party had started at eight and most of the guests had arrived but he said he would be here and she trusted him.

Her parents were out of town visiting her grandfather for a few days so while they were gone she decided to throw a party. Most of those who were here already were drunk and had already started the drinking games but Sammi waited pacing the tiled kitchen floor for the doorbell to ring.

By ten she had almost given up when the familiar chime of the door went.

“Where have you been?” She demanded

“Sorry, I’m late. I had to pick my brother up at the airport. I brought him along. Hope you don’t mind.”

Damon breezed past her kissing her on the cheek going to join the other guests in their games. She opened her mouth to protest and immediately closed it when she saw a perfect replica of her crush standing in the doorway looking more submissive than she was sure Damon had ever been in his life.

“Hi, I’m Jason. It’s nice to meet you. Sorry about my brother.”

She hadn’t known Damon even had a brother let alone an identical twin. She gestured for him to come in not trusting herself to speak.

As Sammi followed the boys into the living room where the other guests had started a game of truth or dare. When Sammi sat down the bottle span around to face her and her best friend Clarisse smirked as she picked Dare.

“I dare you to spent seven minutes in heaven with someone of my choice blindfolded. When you leave you have to guess who it was.”

Sammi knew her best friend would pick one of the twins and dreaded having to distinguish between the two.
