Before anyone could wrap their head around what was going on, the brunette approached Una and leaned in to her ear. She whispered something to her we couldn't hear before Una started grabbing her suitcases.
She arranged her belongings inside the wardrobe as we spectated, bewildered.
"Now that's more like it." The brunette remarked.
"What did you say to her?" Genevieve inquired.
"Nothing you need to know. Now shall we have the introductions or have you all done it without me?"
"I don't think I'm interested in knowing your name." I replied, because who wants to be friends with a girl like that anyway?
"But I want to know yours" I turned to the owner of the voice. Genevieve simply smiled at me.
"I'm Nova. Nova Whales."
Me and Genevieve gave her a questioning look. We then look at Una who was still arranging her stuff, seemingly in a trance.
Whatever Nova said must have scared her.
"Ok, I'm Genevieve but please call me Gigi."
"Genevieve who?"
"Genevieve no one."
"No one, interesting, never heard of that one." She turned to Una. " I know you're Una, but Una who?"
Una, who I had no idea had been listening, said:
"I'm Una No one." I burst out laughing. Nova turned to look at me, puzzled by my comedic reaction
"Sorry."
"And what's your name?" Deciding to follow suit.
"Shanelle No one at your service."
"What?" She eyed me, then everyone else. "I understand if the two are siblings but you?". I realized she was looking at my cream complexion, Una's chocolate skin and Genivene's chestnut shade. they have blue and brown braids, I have black curly hair. They have black irises I have brown.
I was about to tell her it was a joke when Una thought of the next big thing.
"She's adopted." Genevieve said playing along. "Yeah she is adopted. You see, I am the lucky twin and she is the unfortunate one." She pointed at Una. "I was the healthy twin and from birth she was the weak one. She had been sick and fragile while I got to live out my life strong. Our parents were concerned about her and her education as well as mine. I went to school and made friends whilst Una stayed home. She couldn't even meet them because she was that weak."
"Where did she come from?" Nova enquired, pointing at me.
"You see I was so weak that Gigi had no one to be there for her, she didn't have the proper sister she dreamed I'd one day become. So our parents seeing how saddened she was adopted Shanelle and we've been a family ever since." Una.
I heard Gigi snicker.
"If you're so weak why are you at a boarding school?"
"Because she soon got better and just in time for the applications for the school entries." Genevive piped up.
I was about to burst out laughing.
"Hmmm, ok. Weird family. Seen worse."
Have you?
She looked around the room her eyes meeting the unarranged bags of the me and Genevieve in disgust. "We have to do something about this room. So if you wouldn't mind, start arranging."
"And who exactly are you to tell us that?" Genevieve asked.
"I'm Nova. Like I just said, Nova Whales." She posed as if expecting some kind of applause but frowned when we all stared at her in awkward silence. "You seriously have never heard of the Whales? Mr and Mrs Whales of Hilten? And their fantastic daughter Novella Jane Whales?" She said with a hint of pride in her voice.
"Ohhh Yeah I have heard of that Novella!" Cried Una in recognition. "The one wrong in a family of right. The prankster, clean freak and the family's unhealthy hand." After that she scratched her hair in a process of rembering. "Yes, I have heard of Novella Jane Whales. She is a fun one I guess."
Nova stared at her in disbelief while Genevieve put a hand to her head massaging it.
"Did I miss anything?" She said after checking the room.
"Obviously She's Novella. Nova. Novella." Genevieve said with annoyance pointing to Nova. Una screamed In recognition and started fretting over Nova.
"OMG! NO WAY NO WAY NO WAY THE NOVELLA?!! LIKE THE ABSOLUTE NOVELLA?! OH MY LORD!!!!!" She ran up to Nova and started touching her hair and asking her for an autograph.
"Huh? I'm kinda lost guys. Someone please fill me in about who this is." I called out unsure about all the fretting, eye-roll and proud stance.
"Oh so you've seriously not even heard of me? not even a whisper?" Nova asked
"Nope not even a peek."
"Well let me introduce myself properly."
"Ok."
"I'm Novella Jane Whales. The daughter of Gideon Whales and Samantha Whales. The heir of Hilten, the survivor of a massive tornado. The most famous Jokester in history, the most wonderful singer of all time. All in one girl, which is the girl you're looking at."
I stared at her, unable to quite understand her.
"So you're saying your famous?"
"Yes. I am and I won't mind giving you an autograph or one voice lesson." The way she posed- her two hands on her hips, her head looking up to the ceiling and a proud smirk on her face.- Made her look like pinocchio, I was just waiting for her nose to grow to complete the look.
"If you're so popular how come I've never heard of you?"
"How I'm I supposed to know that?" I shrugged. She signed and muttered kids. Before heading down to the wardrobe section and picking a brown double wardrobe separate from Una's.
I watched her as she opened her luggage revealing the ultimate cloths. She first of all picked up a white shirt with long arms and a cape like collar, with brown buttons that curved sideways and an upside down V at the end of the cloth. Next she brought out a flare that had flowers at the tip. She kept pulling designer clothes up and I just gaped at her.
"Is that Kiteryu Jouy? Whayur group? FANISHT HUIEB?!! NO WAY!! WHERE DO YOU GET THIS STUFF FROM?!!!" Before I knew it I was looking at her clothes like my soul depended on it.
"So you know a lot about clothes?" Nova.
"Of course I do, I mean which girl doesn't know their clothes?"
"Omg is that a pants with the word 'for you' on the back? That's so stupid. I'd never wear that." Me and Nova turned to look at Genevieve.
"YOU DON'T KNOW ERUP JUICEN?!!!" We screamed at the same time.
"Um no?" Genevieve said.
"Oh my gosh! I'm gonna die of an heart attack!" Nova said.
"You got to be kidding me? You seriously don't know who that guy is?" I said.
"No, what's Erpui uicen?"
"IT'S ERUP JUICEN!!" me and Nova screamed.
"Oh, my word, chill! It's just stupid clothes." Genevieve said. I walked up to her, shock her so hard that she tipped slightly back.
"Are you out of your mind?" I shook her even more. "It's not just clothes, it's fashion, it's presiction, it's personality!"
"Oh, my gosh! Stop shaking me!" Genevieve placed her hand on mine to push me away. "It's just clothes, call it what you want. I'm leaving this crazy party." With that she walked off to join Una who went back to her clothes arranging. Leaving me with Nova.
