So, remember how I mention that the twins had to take a test in order to basically live with us? Well, I asked the twins about it and apparently, it’s confidential information. I tried to get them to tell me, but I didn’t know what I was expecting — they’re genetically engineered science babies made for who knows what — of course, they won’t tell me anything! But it wasn’t that they wouldn’t tell me that bothers me, it’s how they acted that’s concerning.
Dad had to get groceries, so he dropped me off at home after school, leaving me alone with Jekyll and Hyde. I thought that if I wanted some answers and dad wasn’t going to tell me anything, then maybe the twins might be willing to talk? Stupid, now that I think about it. Anyway, I decided to ask them what their test was like and they immediately went on the defensive. They didn’t shout or anything, but it was clear to see that they were ready to rebuff my inquiry. The more I pressed on, the more they’d shut me out, and eventually just gave me the silent treatment. At that point, I got a strange vibe from them, like they were bracing themselves for the worst. So I backed off.
I don’t know if I’m gonna ask again, but at this point, I think it's safe to say that it wasn’t something like a written test or a fitness test. Because why would those be confidential? Everybody does those, whatever kind of test the twins took was probably related to why they were made and I still have no idea what that is. I can’t narrow it down based on their knowledge, academic-wise because they basically know everything. They woke me up to do morning work out — which was great with no sleep, thanks a bunch (I write in a sarcastic tone) — and that was just basic stretches, so nothing interesting there. They don’t have any problem adapting outside of the lab, basically rendering my guidelines useless, though they are checking out media stuff I recommend to “blend in more efficiently”. Other than their weird proper grammar speaking, if I didn’t know better, I’d think that the twins were just some kids with overachieving parents.
I just want to know what’s up with them? Why does my dad have to keep his job a secret? Why were they made in the first place? Is what my dad’s doing illegal? What does my dad's job intend to do with Jekyll and Hyde? If I was meant to be kept in the dark, why was my dad allowed to talk about them with me — let alone take me to his job?! Why am I not allowed to know anything? What are they worried about? That I might spill the beans and the whole world will suddenly believe me? Well, I’ve been doing that since I was six, keeping the story consistent and everything, except bringing pictures, and guess what? NO ONE BELIEVES ME!
I should probably just give up. But I’m not gonna. Why? If I don’t know anything else then why should I even know that? It’s not like this might be a groundbreaking life-changing event for me or anything...
I need a nap.
