Beth White

“please don’t be mad.” she said. “I just…” she didn’t know how to continue that statement so she just let it hang there. Minnow didn’t know what she was going to do if Beth was mad about it. “I haven’t told mom or dad anything yet. I’m not sure how they’ll react.”

“Why would I be mad?” Beth sat up and asked. “I’m not that evil” She chuckled and rolled her eyes playfully at her sister, but she got serious as soon as she noticed how worried Minnow was about how she’d take the news. “Look, if you’re happy with her then I’m all for it.” She nodded genuinenly and then regretted it. Damn, she was going soft tonight. “Maybe you should wait a little before telling them..”

“I’m dating Georgia.” she said trying to gage Beth’s reaction. Inside her head minnow was freaking out. She really didn’t want Beth to hate her because of this but she couldn’t lie to her nor could she keep Georgia a secret.

“I thought it was fair to tell you.” she said still watching her sister.

“Georgia?” Beth asked, more to herself than to her sister. Oh my god she thought to herself as realization hit her. Her twin sister was in love with a girl. Now that was a shocking new. Sure, Beth had never had something against lesbians or gay people, but she had never expected that her sister would be one of them. She didn’t think there was something wrong about that, she just thought it was extremely surprising. “I… Wow”

Minnow bit her lip and played with her fingers. “I think…” minnow sighed. “I wanted to tell you before you found out from someone else.” she said trying to stall. “I’m dating someone.” she said, which wasn’t all that shocking. She’d dated Brian back at home. But this was different and this relationship meant a lot more to her.

Beth pretended to gasp dramatically as she heard her sister tell her that she was dating someone. “You’re dating someone? Oh my gosh, that is such a big deal” Beth answered sarcastically and sat up, looking at her sister. “Wait..Who is that someone?” She asked, realizing that the news weren’t exactly that Minnow was dating someone, but maybe the important part was who that person actually was.

“good.” she smiled at Beth. “I havent seen the cheerleaders, should I come to a game to see you guys?” she asked glad that Beth was sort of being normal with her.

“I love Venus cove. It’s the best decision I’ve made.” she said thinking of Georgia. “speaking of…can I tell you something? And please don’t freak out.”

“I didn’t know you liked games, but if you want to come, go right ahead” Beth shrugged and looked at her sister. If her sister was going to come to one of her performances, then she would have to make her team work harder. She had to prove how much of a great job she was doing so far.

As soon as Minnow referred to Venus Cove as the best decision she’d ever made, Beth raised her eyebrows and looked at her slightly surprised. “Alright..” She said hesitantly. She wanted to know what her sister had to tell her, but she was kind of worried now that Minnow had warned her not to worry. Maybe, for once, Minnow was the one who had gotten into trouble. Wow, this already seemed like a pretty surprising night.

Minnow shut the door and went to sit next to her sister on the bed. “Of course, I always like to see you.” Minnow said with a smile. Though she still wasn’t sure what Beth was doing here in the middle of the night, she’d take it. She could honestly say she’d missed her sister.

“So…” She said awkwardly not sure what to say next. “How do you like Venus Cove?” She asked with a small smile. She was hoping she would get to talk to Beth tonight, She had promised Georgia she would talk to Beth and now seemed like a perfect opportunity. 

Beth chuckled at how awkward her sister was obviously feeling. She smiled back at her sister, but then rolled her eyes playfully. That was something that surprised her a lot about Minnow, she was always nice. Beth didn’t know how her sister was able to be kind to almost everybody all the time, while she had a hard time trying to be nice to people who she didn’t even know. That was one of their differences. Beth didn’t really like to be mean, but she felt like she had to if she wanted to keep being the person she already was. 

“I’m not sure yet” Beth answered as she shook her head. “Have you seen the cheerleaders? They’re so not cheery, but I’m working on that.” She winked playfully at Minnow and threw the pillow at her. “What about you? Do you like it?” She asked her sister and quirked an eyebrow.

Minnow woke up in the middle of the night to a knocking on her door. She sat up confused and groggy. Her first thought was that it was Georgia, but she’d been here only a few hours ago. Minnow threw the blankets off and made her way to the door. She opened it and saw Beth. She was standing in the hallway holding her pillow. She seemed to be looking around not wanting anyone to see her so Minnow quickly let her into the room. 

“Hey.” She said confusion still on her face. Beth and her hadn’t really spent much time together since high school had started and at first it had killed Minnow, but then she had realized that it wasn’t so much about her but who Beth wanted to be. And Minnow understood wanting something so she had told herself that eventually, maybe not until they were older, but someday they would be ok again. She looked at Beth standing in her dorm now, and was honestly glad that she was here. No matter the reason. “Um, is everything ok?” She asked.

“Hey sis, looking good” Beth said sarcastically with a smirk on her face as she stepped into Minnow’s room. She walked over to her sister’s bed and flopped down on it. It was a strange feeling to be there. People would constantly think that they couldn’t stand begin around each other because of how different they were, but deep down, Beth did like to spend time with her sister. 

Beth looked at her sister, who had confusion written all over her face. “Yeah, everything is fine” She shrugged and nodded a couple of times before speaking again “I just thought you’d like to see me” She lied. Of course Beth hadn’t thought that, but she was always hiding behind this kind of mask.

Beth wasn’t surprised when she caught herself not being able to sleep and staring right at the ceiling. This had been happening a lot to her lately. Apparently, she had too much in her mind, and she just didn’t know how to turn her thoughts off even if she wanted to get some sleep. She tried changing positions, counting, and even praying, but nothing seemed to work. Something did surprise her, though, some crazy idea came to her mind. Maybe since her twin sister was now at the same boarding school, she could pay her a visit and she would feel better and finally get some sleep. Beth didn’t think too much about the idea because she knew that she would end up regretting it and staying in her room. Instead, she grabbed her pillow and walked straight over to her room’s door, stepping outside. 

Minnow’s room wasn’t far away from her own, so she didn’t take long to get there. Before knocking, Beth glanced around to check if the hall was empty. For some reason, she didn’t want people knowing that she was going to her twin sister in order to be able to sleep. Beth remembered how close she used to be with Minnow, and how much fun that was, but she also remembered how they had grown apart. It wasn’t because they didn’t get along anymore, or because they were too different -like everybody else thought they were- the reason was that they wanted different things. Beth wanted popularity and, according to her, Minnow wouldn’t help her get it. Beth knocked softly on Minnow’s door, waiting for her sister to open the door. She wanted her to open as soon as possible, before someone decided to appear in the hallway.
