Rahila : Hey y'all, I decided to create this group so we can all be able to drop opinions and ideas about the project easily, Thanks guys...
Everyone began reacting to her message with a thumbs up emoji and so did I
I dropped back my phone, preparing to sleep when I heard a rap on my door
Ughhh, who is that?, I'm sure it can't be Mirabel cos I know my sister, she never knocks before entering my room, so I guess it's mom then...
"Mom, come in"
I closed my eyes so she would be aware I was almost asleep
My door opened gently
"I'm sleepy mom, please just a little more time" I said with my eyes still closed
"Isabel..."
Huh? my snapped open and it landed on the person I least expected to see here.
Immediately, I sprang up
"Rahila??" I asked confusedly
She chuckled "Hey cousin"
"What?, cousin?" I guess I heard her wrong
"Of course, it would have been better if we both looked alike or don't you think so?"
"What the hell are you saying Rahila? cousin? look alike? what are you even doing here?" I finished my statement then it dawned on me
Wait...don't tell me she's Aunt Natasha's daughter, she can't be ! we were never close so us being sudden cousins would be soo damn weird
"Figured it out already?" She smiled at me
As I said, this would be weird, I love the rude and feisty Rahila that rarely smiles at me
"You have to tell me all this is a joke, Rahila"
"A joke?, if it was, do you think I would be here right now?"
"So you knew all these while?, you knew about I and my mom?"
"No cousin, don't get me wrong, I only knew my mom had this one twin and trust me I never knew if she was alive or not and then you fainted at school, your mom came and I almost mistook her as my mom but the hair color did the trick. I got home that day, asked my mom and she explained it all"
"Did she tell you she met me before I fainted that day."
"Yeah yeah she did, and here we are today cos they both want to explain better"
"This feels weird" I facepalmed myself
"It is really weird, we never actually talk at school so we waking up one morning and finding out that we are cousins is just..."
"Bur anyways, we've gat to be close, right?"
"Yeah right" I said
"So, how about a hug?"
"Sure"
