Sweet as Sugar, Crazy as Hell

Chapter 21: Kylie is back!

I squealed as I rummaged through my closet to find a decent outfit.

"Kylie's coming home!" I yelled again.

"Yes, but please remember she has amnesia so don't be too hurt when she doesn't remember you." Leon reminded me in a bored tone.

I glared at him, "Shut up. Of course I remember."

He glared back, "Just checking. Now hurry up!"

I giggled and pulled out ripped jeans, a plain blue shirt, and an oversized grey hoodie.

"Now go, Leon." I said and waved my hand, shooing him.

"What, why?" He asked me.

I rolled my eyes and pointed at the clothes I picked out.

He reddened and immediately left my room.

I burst out laughing at his reaction and put on my clothes.

"I love hoodies." I said and twirled around.

I exited the room and was greeted by a scowling Leon.

I pouted, "Why're you scowling? Oh well, I won't even wonder. It's as if you get mad at all at even little things-"

He cut me off by rolling his eyes and giving a lazy smile, "Let's just go, Lawrence is waiting for us."

I stuck my tongue out like a cat and followed him.

"You're alive!" I exclaimed and hugged Kylie.

She smiled, "I'm guessing I knew you."

"Knew me? You're practically my big sister!" I said and grabbed her shoulders.

"Sister? We must be really close then." She said.

"Don't. Ever. Leave. Me. Again." I said, shaking her with every word.

"You're so cute... uhm?" She smiled innocently.

"Dayana!" I said and hugged her again.

"Dayana? Nice name." She complimented me.

I giggled, "Kylie's being formal! Don't worry, I bet you're gonna be weird again sooner or later.

"You're so childish!" She exclaimed.

I broke away from her hug and sat on the hospital bed.

"I missed you so much, y'know? I keep waking up in the middle of the night and look at your bed since you always comfort me when I get a nightmare." I told her.

"Ooh, we're roomies? Cool!" She exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes, "As if! We always fight over stuff that aren't even worth arguing for."

"Really? I'll try to be a better roommate from now on." She said, smiling.

"Please don't." I told her with a giggle.

I burst out laughing as the door burst open.

"Twin!" Julie yelled and raced over to her sister.

"You're... my twin?" Kylie asked in confusion.

Julie stopped in her tracks and looked down.

"Come on Jules! You know that she has amnesia, so we shouldn't give her a hard time." I told Julie.

Julie quickly looked up with a bright smile, "I missed you, loser."

"What's with all your nicknames, seriously?" Kylie asked and burst out laughing.

I giggled, "You'd be surprised."

Julie hit the back of my head and went over to Kylie to hug her.

Kylie hugged back, "So you're my twin? I expected her to be as pretty as me but eh."

Julie broke away from the hug and glared at her, "Go back to your coma, please."

I burst into a fit of laughter while Kylie pouted at us.

"Hmph, meanie!" Kylie said, crossing her arms and turning her head.

"Yup." Julie and I said simultaneously, "That's our Kylie."

▪▪▪

I jumped on Kylie's bed again and she threw a pillow at me. Again.

"Never knew you were this hyper." She muttered, picking up the pillow.

I giggled and collapsed on her bed, "I'm so glad you're back, Kyles."

She tries to pull me out of my bed but me, being the lazy one I am, I keep going back like there's a magnet on the bed.

"I'm glad I'm here too but can you please get off my bed?" Kylie pleaded.

I let her pull me out and I collapsed on my bed, face first.

"Are you still a bit shocked that you're in a gang?" I asked, my voice muffled.

Kylie groaned, "A little."

I lied down on my bed properly and faced her, "You'll get used to it soon. Besides, Adi is here with you."

"You mean that nice guy we bumped into a while ago?" Kylie asked.

"Yup, he's your man." I said, "And when I say that, I mean it literally."

"Don't tell me you're shipping me with him." Kylie said.

I sat down in criss-cross position and gigged, "Maybe yes, maybe no, maybe yes and no."

"Choose an answer." She told me.

"Maybe." I said with a giggle.

She rolled her eyes and sat on her bed, "I do admit he's cute and all, but not really my type."

"Why not?" I asked, plopping my elbows on my knees and resting my chin on both of my palms.

"He just seems like the serious type." She shrugged.

I gasped, "Kylie? Is that you? P-please don't go!"

"Woman, what the heck are you talking about?!" Kylie exclaimed.

I stuck my tongue out like a cat, "Meow?"

She grabbed a book on the desk next to her bed and threw it at me.

I managed to dodge and I hissed at her like a cat.

She looked at me in amusement and went to the bathroom.

"Ha! I thought so!" I exclaimed.

"You thought this?" Kylie asked and splashed a cup full of water at me.

"Kylie! What the heck!" I yelled and when I was getting off my bed, I managed to fall on my face again.

"Are you okay?"

"This is my life now."
