To Live Again, For the First Time!

The two Wei siblings were legendary in this school. Not only were they beautiful people, but they were always occupying the top two places on the leaderboard for the school rankings in their grade.

They had participated in various national level competitions as well, never lacking a place on the podium, but they seemed to stop there, never wanting to go to the international stage. It was quite mind-boggling because everyone believed that they were capable enough, to at least reach the semi-finals of the international olympiads. ​​

At first, most people thought they were just pretty faces, but in the end, their results were enough to prove everyone wrong. Some even believed that they bribed the school to accept them, as they looked like they came from money.

Yet another misconception about the two was that they were twins. This was quite a reasonable assumption. They had come together on their first day at Azure Highschool and they were also in the same grade and had the same last name. They also directly called each other by their nicknames while occasionally using the term 'big brother' or 'little sister', which is why people assumed they were around the same age, being 'twins' that is. And that Theo was the older of the two.

They were proven wrong on the same day when Emilin and Theo both had to go up to the stage to give a speech as the two people who had received the highest grades in the entrance test, which to them had a difficulty akin to multiplication problems to most other students.

Theo did most of the talking in the speech while Emilin said the 'thank you' at the end. That was when the role of ice belle had been assigned to her. When they reached the classroom that day everyone started surrounding them, everyone was excited, each with varying reasons.

"Hey, you guys see the 'twins', they were so cool!"

"Yeah, I can't believe that both of them could be so smart. How come they both get full marks? Shouldn't one of them be the dumb and noisy one while the other is the silent but smart one?"

"You're just too dumb and now you want to drag others to your level."

"Hey! No one that can get in this school can be dumb."

"That's not true, your parents might have bribed the school. But it doesn't matter, if your no good you'll fail and be kicked out anyway."

"Yeah let's just wait and see who is expelled first then!"

"Well not exactly expelled, but I'm sure that after failing the grade once or twice they'll be too embarrassed to continue."

Every grade had three classes and both Emilin and Theodore were placed in class three, they would remain in the same class for the next 2 years unless they were a really good reason why they wanted to change classes, of course, there were always people who would leave the school and others that would join in the following year.

When they started the introductions, it was also by alphabetical order of their last names. Emilin and Theo's introductions were one after the other. When Emilin had to give her introduction, her stomach churned due to nerves.

Her eyebrows tightened and she frowned which would happen every time she had to actively speak to others. Emilin would get so nervous that she had to try really hard to keep a straight face.

Everyone: 'She must not want to waste her time talking to us.' Some thought she was too stuck up, acting like she was better than them, while others believed that she was right to act stuck up and that she was indeed better.

In the end, all Emilin was able to say was. "Emilin. Nice to meet you." Her jaws were slightly clenched which made her seem even more unwilling to talk.

Thankfully Theodore was here for the rescue. He stood up and explained, "Hello everybody, I'm Theodore Wei, you can just call me Theodore." Then he looked at his little sister who became even more embarrassed because of her lack of ability to do a simple introduction.

She lowered her head as Theo spoke, "She's my younger sister Emilin. We'll both be in your care, so if you ever have any questions about schoolwork, you can just ask Emilin or me. But Emilin is much better than me at both school and teaching. And boys, stay away!"

Theo was trying to help Emilin with her troubles in communicating with other people outside of their family by giving her more chances to talk to other people. That last part, however, was slightly more aggressive than his original, rather admirable attitude. Also, Theo wasn't actually worse than Emilin.

If Emilin didn't have some of her previous leanings and a great memory, she would never be able to surpass Theodore. He was truly a genius. Since young, he already showed great comprehensive ability and creativity. He was working on the computer scene since he turned 4 and instantly fell in love. He was already set in going into the technology industry.

After he finished the introduction, the room already fell into silence. The girls were already slowly proclaiming how they had fallen in love at first sight in their minds, imagining all kinds of unrealistic stories in their pretty little minds. On the other hand, the boys were feeling both indignant and fear.

It went something like 'You can't tell me what to do or not do!' to 'What if he sends someone to beat me up or worse, he won't be willing to answer my question and then I'll fail!'. And realistically, both of their worries were quite warranted.

Then after the first round of individual thinking time, the students all started to talk to each other about how different these 'twins' were.

Someone who wasn't quite convinced that the two were twins due to how much taller Theo looked finally asked the million-dollar question.

"Are you guys actually twins?" And Theo promptly replied.

"No. My sister is three years younger than me." He said. Then the classroom erupted into gossip once again.

"Three whole years! Wow, she's about my height. Is she really three years younger than us?" One said, but the person next to him refuted venomously.

"No way! I bet that it was the brother that failed the grade!"

The first person was not convinced at all.

"He failed three years and then suddenly is tied for first place in our grade? I don't buy it!"

But before the fans, aka lips, could keep blowing the flames of gossip, Emilin who heard others speak ill of her brother got very upset.

"What do you mean! My brother did not fail the grade. Hmph, and of course he got first, who else would? You?" When it came to her family, Emilin's mouth became very venomous. Which added to her portrayed image.

If not for the fact that Emilin would usually keep to herself and would never complain when helping others explain things, she might have become the 'Mean Beauty' or something similar.

The other boy became embarrassed by Emilin's rebuttal and lowered his head.

"It's fine Emi, it's just because I'm more mature and taller. Everyone, there seems to be a misunderstanding, I should be the same age as you all, while my sister skipped 3 years to go to school with me. But please, even if you have questions or don't understand something you don't have to be embarrassed to ask Emilin."

He sounded even more reasonable and admirable at that point. But the hidden message for the boys was clear: "I know that my sister is amazing, and you should too, but you snotty boys better not get any ideas."
