"All I'm saying is that teenage boys are immature, and being immature makes them look less attractive." I say shrugging my shoulders. Liv nods in agreement. I mean its true tho.

"Of course, you would say that. But not all teenage boys are immature, I mean look at me." Simon say offended as he waved his hand over his face. Liv scoffs and laughs. I give Simon a look.

"You're a nerd. I want a man. A mafia man to be exact. If only," Liv says dreamily. Tell me about it. It's one of my dreams.

"Right!" I agree with Liv. Simon scoffs and shakes his head in disappointment. He always looks disappointed around me and Liv.

"What's wrong with nerds?" Simon asks us offended. Literally almost everything. Well, it really depends.

"I prefer them buff." Liv says clenching her hands as if she was feeling an arm. I let out a laugh.

"What! Why buff." Simon asks confused. I roll my eyes at his reaction.

"Like Emmett Cullen buff but with blonde hair blue or brown eyes is my dream man." Liv nods. She's too obsessed with Twilight.

"Mine is like Edward Cullen but with Emmett's hair color and brown eyes." I say smiling. Gotta say my opinion.

"Your guy's standards are so high." Simon says furrowing his brow annoyingly. I shrug.

"Right!" We groan. It really is.

"My heels are higher than most people's standards." I say. Liv hums. It's true.

"If I saw someone like that, I would faint in their arms. They'll be my Prince Charming." Liv says sighing dreamily.

"Fuck a Prince I want a king." I say aloud. People look over to our table. "Take a picture, it lasts longer." I tell them. They look away embarrassed. I roll my eyes and look up.

"Someone's got bad news." I say biting my cherry. Simon and Liv look up to look at Clary coming in with a frown.

"Give me the professor's names and I... I will end them." Simon said. Me and Liv snort. Clary just looks at him with a 'really' look. Yeah, he'll bore them to death.

"You know, with... with a scathing e-mail to the Dean." He says as Clary sits down. I roll my eyes once again at Simon.

"Right." Liv says with a 'really' look. Simons all bark but no bite.

"Don't bother." She says giving him an envelope. We look over to see it. I scoff. Of course.

"What? Sad face? Really?" They laugh. Me and Liv just look at them. You see, me and Liv are twins. But we happen to be adopted and we don't get along with Clary. She thinks we take all the attention off of her.

"Well played, well played." They fist pump.

"Thank you. You know it's weird. They kind of liked my assigned work. But they flipped out over the drawings for our graphic novel." She says flipping over her drawings.

"Wow." Liv says sarcastically. I give a sarcastic smile.

"You're welcome." Simon says chuckling. He has it bad. He's totally in love with her. I don't see why he would. It's clear Clary just thinks of him as a friend.

"This day will go down in history as the greatest 18 birthday I ever had." Clary says. Oh, yeah I forgot. Mine and Liv's are in two days. Not very excited about it.

"Which is why we are celebrating tonight. Yes, with Maureen after our show." Simon says as the waitress gives Simon his order. I sigh and grab a piece of bread.

"Absolutely. So... what's the deal with you and Maureen?" Clary asks. For real, Maureen totally has a crush on Simon. It's so obvious.

"Right! What is the deal with you and her?" Liv says. Simon chuckles nervously.

"What deal? No deal. We sing together." He says then drinks his drink. I laugh at his nervous expression.

"You seriously don't know she's been crushing on you this whole time?" She says with disbelief going across her face. Simon's dumber than a log.

"For a very long time btw." Liv says sipping her Pepsi. Simons to oblivious to notice with Clary there. His attention is all on her.

"What? No. No." Simon stammers.

"Simon, how can someone as smart and perceived as you, not realize that the person sitting there is in love with you?" Clary says making me and Liv snort.

"Says you." Liv mumbles. Clary looks at us confused. Simon makes a weird noise.

"I guarantee you I'm not the only smart, perspective person to make that mistake." He says to Clary. Damn. She looks down confused. We look down at a biscotti drawn on a napkin. I poke it.

"That's a latte." Simon states. He must not see the napkin. He's such an idiot.

"No! Really?" Liv says out loud sarcastically. She looks around confused.

"But I could have sworn I had a biscotti." Clary says confused.

"Clearly you didn't have a real one." I say to her. She glares at me. I glare back harder.

"Maybe you ate it really fast and didn't even notice. Happens to me all the time. When I'm happy... when I'm sad." Simon says making Clary laugh.

"Only you." I shake my head side to side.

"But I will replace your mythical biscotti with an actual one." He says trying to flirt. It's a no for me. I make a face of disgust.

"Thank you."

"You know what? Here's to you. L'chaim."

"L'Chaim." They click their mugs. I roll my eyes. What does that even mean?

"Anyways. I'm excited for tonight." Liv says clapping her hands excitedly.

"Aw, thanks." Simon says to her. She looks at him weirdly.

"For what?" Liv says confused. He looks at her confused too. I laugh. Idiot.

"You said you're excited to watch us." He says in a 'duh' tone.

"No, I said I was excited for tonight. I'm wearing the new outfit I just got." She also says in a 'duh' tone.

"It's so cute." I tell them. Clary and Simon roll their eyes at us.

"I thought you were excited to watch Maureen and me perform." Simon says offended. We snort.

"Like good friends." Clary says smugly.

"We are good friends." Liv says glaring at Clary.

"At least we don't lead our friend on." I say smirking. "And we're not friends, I'm just here because of Mom. Supposedly we need to make friends."

"What are you talking about?" She says faking confusion.

"You know what I'm talking about." She scoffs at my words.

"Come one we have to go get dressed." Liv says pulling me up to leave. I stand up and fix my shirt then walk.

"So long bitches." I wave bye to them. As we walk I could feel Clary following us. Me and Liv look at each other and roll our eyes.

"Hey Dot!" We say as we walk in to see Dot with her tarot cards out. Clary storms passed us. I'ma throw hands.

"Hey girls." Dot greets us. I smile at her. She was like a sister to me and Liv.

"How's your future looking?" Clary asks leaning on the counter. Me and Liv go stand next to Dot.

"Not as good as yours. Hmm. The tarot cards tell me you got into the advanced program." Dot says smirking. More like Simons Twitter.

"And by "the tarot cards" you mean, "Simons Twitter account"?" We laugh.

"Okay, I follow him. Hmm." She says chuckling.

"He has a least like 92 follows." I say laughing. Dot hums.

"Turns out, predicting the future with tarot cards is very complicated." She says flipping the card over. It flips to a card that has a cup.

"Pretty." Liv says tracing the card. Dot smiles at her and gives her a look..

"Oh, Clary. I think I do see a birthday present in your future." She says giving Clary a present.

"Dot." Clary says trailing off. Clary holds the present.

"Okay, open it!" Dot says with excitement going around the counter next to Clary.

"Wow!" Clary says pulling out a black shirt.

"Yeah, you might want to keep that on the DL. Cause your mom's my boss and I don't want her to flip out."

"Yeah, but that's how I know it's cool." They chuckle. "You know, you're way better at gift giving than magically predicting the future." Clary states.

"Nothing magical about it. I just buy the things I wanna wear." Me and Liv hum in agreement.

"She got that right." Liv says looking at the cards. Clary and Dot hug.

"Happy birthday. I love you."

"Thank you. I love you too." Clary says. "You okay." Clary suddenly says making us look up from the cards.

"Yeah." Dot chuckles. "Yeah, happy birthday." She says. "Go up and see your mom." She says and Clary walks always. She turns to us and smiles.

"Here's an early birthday gift." she says grabbing a box that has tarot cards and opens it. She grabs a card from the counter and puts it inside. She gives it to Liv.

"And for you." She gives me a necklace. It had a red Crystal.

"Cute." I say putting it on over my other necklace. She looks over to Liv.

"Protect the cards with your life." She tells her seriously. Liv laughs nervously.

"Okay."

"Well, we have to get ready and thank you so much for the gifts." I say as I hug her. Liv comes up and hugs her too.
