The Beauty and the Brain

CHAPTER ONE

I was born in a family of two, an identical twin to be precise my brother Eric is very naughty but smart he is a younger brother to me even though we were born the same day.

He behaves like an infant which made my parent describe him as "BABY ERIC". He is entirely different from me, I am the opposite of Eric.

My father Mr.Pedro is a Fashion Designer and my mother is a trader although we were not financially buoyant, no matter what the case may be my father must surely provide for the family he is hardworking and caring I regarded him to such responsibility as a man because the love we have in our family is enough to make one happy.

Eric could be seen playing video games anytime he is less busy at home mostly during the weekend this was his favorite day.

Most times he forgets his food while he pays more attention to his game."Baby Eric, you better leave that game and join us at the dining table" My mother calls for him while I decided to switch off his game.

"Ohh!!! Mom, you can see Nelly has started again he is always troublesome why would he switch off my game?". Eric said as he grumbles in front of me.

"If you are not ready to eat let me know so I can fill my stomach with double delicacy perhaps am not satisfied more of your food will be my appetite for today". I said as I went back to take his food from the dining. table.

Suddenly I saw Eric from an unknown destination, he quickly left his game to embrace his food he said: " This is my beloved food in whom I am well pleased". We all busted into laughter as we celebrate his victory at last.

NEXT DAY

"It is Monday morning, "wake up let's get ourselves prepared for school". I tapped him from his sleep he snores whirling to the other side.

"What is wrong with you I guess you need to be drenched".

Immediately Eric heard the word " Drenched" he stood up ran to the bathroom to take his shower.

"I thought you are sleeping?" I giggled while asking.

"It is better to take my shower at the right place than to be drenched being asleep, indeed Nelly you are a mess!". He said latching the bathroom door.

" I can't wait to turn this young man's ass into a chocolate pizza make sure you never open that door because am going to treat you like a mess".

We both laughed at our naughty words. After taking our bath, we swabbed our teeth in other to get ourselves prepared for breakfast.

Meanwhile, at the dining table, we were both served two slices of bread and a tea you know Eric for sure he must always have something to say.

"Mom!! This won't fill up my stomach you know my stomach is like a bottomless pit it has no internal storage".

" Oh!!!, when will you stop complaining?" Mum asked as she profusely smiles.

"I will stop complaining when I finally turned stones to bread". He replied while eating his two slices of bread.

We busted into laughter then we gave him another name " Eric Jesus".

After our breakfast, we took our bags Immediately the school bus alerted us with its horn.
