Egypt's brows furrowed the moment she heard that irritating voice again—James, the new boy in their class who had transferred to their school just a few weeks ago.
"Hahaha! Of course they don't have a dad! I even heard from my mom that they're adopted. Just look at them—they look nothing like their mom!"
Another classmate chimed in—someone who never used to bully them before. But ever since James showed up, more and more of their classmates had started picking on them too.
"What did you just say?!" Egypt snapped, clenching her fists.
She was about to charge at the classmate who made the remark when Paris immediately stepped in.
Paris placed a hand on her twin's arm and gave a calm shake of her head, silently telling her to stop.
Their teacher, Ms. Amie, still hadn't arrived—giving their classmates the confidence to be as loud and do what they wanted without holding back.
