In this world of rivalry between siblings, Ava and Mia are the two opposite twins who love each other more than anything else in this entire world. What happens when Adrian and Ava bump into each other on her most unfortunate day?
A series of comic...
Two weeks passed since classes started. Everything was going great. I, Emily and Lucas became the best of friends. A few senior boys already started to hit on Emily, and she kinda liked all of the attention. Lucas and I spent most of our time discussing about the classes, lectures and other stuff. It was good, I never met a guy who was so similar to me when it comes to studies. The only difference was, I loved sports, he loved art.
I had been invited by the BB team of our university to join them. It was fun, everything was going smoothly till something was about to change in my life
Like usual, I drove the car to pick-up, Mia. To my surprise, when Mia got into the car she looked pale and kept coughing constantly. I didn't want to disturb her as she looked exhausted and tired. I drove slowly towards our home. I parked the car in the garage and walked towards Mia's side of the door and opened it.
"Mia, dude we're home, can you come down?", I asked in worry
She didn't reply. I got scared and knocked on the door to call aunt. Aunty came out running to my car,
"Aunty, what's wrong with her, what happened?", I asked worriedly
"Nothing dear, she just has a fever. Help me get her to the bed", she said
I immediately opened the door completely and walked towards the guestroom which was on the same floor. I opened the room and settled the bed quickly. Aunty brought Mia to the room and I helped her lie down on the bed. She was sweating and her forehead was burning. She kept coughing in between, aunty tried to calm me down as I was worried.
We placed the ice pack on her head. I fell asleep beside her while giving her the ice pack. Aunt Daphany came after a while,
"Ava dear, go change now, you've been giving her the ice pack since the last 1 hour, I'll stay here you go", she said reassuring me
Even though I didn't want to leave her side, I felt it would be more comfy to wear my regular clothes and sit beside her. I quickly freshened up and ran downstairs. To my relief, Mia was awake now,
"Hey", she said in a feverish voice
"Mia, are you okay? How are you feeling?", I asked
"I'm better, don't worry"
"What happened to your voice?"
"I guess I caught a cold"
"Ok, I'll call dad then", I said
"Give me the phone, I'll tell him what to bring", aunty said
I handed her the phone as she left the room to talk to dad. I sat comfortably beside Mia
"You know you scared me", I said
"I think we need to confirm with our mom who is the older one me or you", she said as I gave a confused expression, "Yeah, because you get scared every time I fall sick", she said mocking me
I laughed at her comment and kissed her forehead, "That's because I hate you so much", I said
"Really? Then why did you kiss me?", she asked. "That's because I was checking your fever", I said covering up the fact. "Hahaha, funny, I love you too", she said and we exchanged smiles
After a while, mom and dad came and walked straight to the room. They were worried too but aunt Daphany reassured them that there was nothing to worry about. As Mia was too tired to get up, I and Mia ate our dinner in the guestroom.
I helped her get up and fed her.
"You know my hands are not sick", she said mocking me
"Eat while I feed it to you nicely", I said stuffing her the food
After feeding her, I gave her the medicines and she fell straight asleep. I picked up the dishes and walked out of the room. Mom and dad stared at me like they were eagerly waiting to ask me if Mia was fine now
"Mom, Mia's fever came down but she's still feeling very weak", I said
"She'll be fine honey, don't worry. You must be feeling tired, go to your room", dad said
"No dad, I'll sleep with Mia", I demanded
"Yeah, I forgot, you always sleep with her during her illness, but Ava, be careful, you don't catch a cold", he said
"Ok dad", I said and went to sleep with Mia
I wished her a goodnight and pulled the blanket till her neck so that she stays warm. Luckily, it was the weekend so she wouldn't miss any classes. But even after the whole weekend passed, Mia wasn't able to leave the guestroom. We all were worried, she had her first project submission on Monday. I was worried because for the whole week she wouldn't stop talking about the project.
"Dad, I have to go, I have a very important submission on Monday, I can't miss it, I have struggled very much for it", she demanded
"But you said Kim could do it instead of you right?", I asked
"No Ava, I'm the leader, I have to be there. It's just for sometime dad please let me go", saying this as she tried to go out of the bed she fell back again
"Mia, you can't even stand straight yet, how will you go tomorrow morning?", I said
"Honey, you can't go tomorrow, you need rest and that's final", saying this dad left the room
Only Mia and I were left alone. Mia looked so worried, I really felt so helpless and bad for her. She kept on saying that she has to go, she has to go. It's very important because it was the first project of the year.
"Ava, please do something, I wish I could go, I have to go, Ava, I worked so hard all the two weeks. I was only waiting for the submission, I might get the highest grade among all", she cried
A tear rolled down her eye. I felt very bad. Even if I did, I dunno how did I even get this idea,
"What if I go instead of you?", I was shocked by the words that came out of my mouth
"What?", Mia asked in a shock
"Yeah, I mean, how difficult would that be, right?", I asked doubtfully
"True, I mean, we look the same right, except for the glasses and dressing", she said
"It's just a matter of hours, how difficult will that be", I said asking both Mia and myself
"Ok, why don't you try it once?", she said
I walked to our room and grabbed the most comfortable clothes which I found. I grabbed a red and black checked knee-length dress. I removed my clutter and let my hair down. I brushed my hair top to bottom. I removed my glasses and tried to look around, luckily, I didn't have much problem with it.
I walked down from my room and hurriedly walked towards Mia's room. When I entered the room I said,
"HOW DO I LOOK?"
