The “Sweet” and “Sour” Twins

On the 25th of December, at precisely  12:00 in the morning, the cry of a baby (two babies to be exact) could be heard from a flat. Twins, both girls were given birth to in their very own house. The first one was a nice, pretty girl with long blonde hair, the other was a sharp, squished – faced like girl that didn’t look like anything would make her happy. They were two different girls who grew up to be different people. The sweet girl named Grace, grew up to be a person who everyone liked. The other girl named Penny,  grew up to be a person who was the opposite of her sister, in everything they did.

Grace became an actress, because she was likeable and knew how to express feelings. She made a lot of money and was rich. When she was about 26, she finally got married to someone of the same kind as her, his name was Humphrey. Humphrey was a man she met in one of her films in America. The couple went on to produce many other films together, such as: The adventurous four and the mystery of the seven rings of eternal heat, Heroes of Olympus: The thunder snatcher and many more.

Penny, on the other hand, was a librarian, and kept working there until she had enough money to move out of her mum and dad’s house and finally got her own house. She didn’t get married until later in her life, due to her appearance, so she got her house and stayed in there, just doing whatever she could to make a living. Her life was completely down the hill, until she was going to work one day. She bumped into a man. This person was a very well known man which had the most money in the whole neighbourhood! They came from the same personality, so they wouldn’t always get along, his name was Frank. It took quite a long time for them to actually get to know each other and finally, in a few years, got married to him. Because they were of the same kind, they would mostly talk about sad and miserable things going on in their lives.

On Christmas, they decided that they should go to see the movie: Heroes of Olympus, the thunder snatcher. They were just getting ready first. But they weren’t the only ones getting ready…

Penny and Frank set off to go to the movies and got there just in time too, because they had enough time to get snacks. As soon as they got inside, they were told to sit in the middle of the middle. Waiting for the film to start, two people came to sit next to them. Penny found it strange that someone would sit next to her, she was the most not liked girl in the whole neighbourhood. Only someone who didn’t care who she sat next to, someone who liked everyone…

The movie had started, a lot of chatter was coming from the person next to her, it wasn’t long until she knew it was her sister, after all, she did grow up to be known as Grace the chatter box. “Grace, is that you?” Grace turned her head, completely baffled about how a stranger knew her name. She was for about 5 minutes until she had no doubt it was Penny. They talked about all that had gone on in their lives and how they got to the cinema. Later they all decided to go to the restaurant and book a 4 seat table.

Whilst waiting for their food, they kept on talking and talking about how they came to the same cine and why they came also. Grace went on and on about how it was her birthday and why they came to the same cinema. Penny however, wasn’t. the food was served, they were still talking, but not as much as before. Since they were twins, Grace was kind enough to buy a birthday cake for them. Talking was non-stop on that table, everyone stayed rock solid even when the cake was finished. Finally the time had come for them to say goodbye, Grace and Humphrey went on to design many other films, and Penny and Frank also went o to find jobs and moved to America. Grace never heard of Penny again, Penny also never heard of Grace again, and it stayed like that for many years to come…

  1. Hi Joshua, well done for creating another imaginative piece of writing.
    I really like the way you have started with your story by clearly stating the time and setting the scene. As you have decided to begin with these details, perhaps also include the year and the city or area where the flat is situated?
    Also, can you think of a better word than “nice” to describe Grace?
    Have a go at editing that first paragraph.
