"Lauren!"

I look up in a daze and realise my sister was just asking me something. I’ve come to her bakery, as per her request, to try out some new majorly fattening samples.

It’s all good and well for Rachel. She has a hollow leg and can eat anything without putting on a single pound. Me? I have to starve myself and workout all day if I so much as eat a single gram of carbs. I’ll be working off today’s sample testings at the gym later, for sure.

"Sorry, Rache. What was your question?"

My sister sighs loudly and hands me a cupcake. "Do you like my new recipe, or what?" She commands me to take a bite. "What's with your hair anyway?"

Smoothing down my frizzed out mane, I take another bite of cupcake. “Mmmm.” I sigh loudly. Once I started concentrating on the flavour, I’ve realised this is really good. “It tastes delish, Rache!”

My sister scowls at me. “You’re not just saying that to get me off your back, are you?” I shake my head, no.

“Seriously,” I mumble with a mouth full of yumminess. “This is like ambrosia.”

“Isn’t that a drink for the gods?”

“I think so.”

“But this isn’t liquid, it’s a solid mass of cupcake!”

“Chill out! I said I liked it!”

Why do I even come here? My sister and I will always find the stupidest things to argue about.

It’s no wonder we always fight. As kids we had to share a bedroom while growing up. Her and I are quite close in age too. I’m twenty-three and she’s two years younger than me. We look so much alike people often mistake us for twins.

“Yeah, okay.” Finally Rachel concedes. “So are you going to the bar tonight?”

“Nope. I’ve got a hot date!”

Rachel’s eyebrows have raised upwards in curiosity. “Oh really? With whom?”

Uh oh. I shouldn’t have blabbed. I know perfectly well that Rache doesn’t like Marcus. She thinks he’s a player ever since that one time when he said he would take me out for drinks. I ended up sitting with Marcus in his car, just outside the bar where Rachel and her husband were waiting, and where Marcus had said to meet him. I’d told Rachel that he didn’t want to come inside because he wasn’t dressed nice. She told me that I was an idiot who couldn’t see the fact that he just didn’t want to be seen in public with me. She claimed he must have a girlfriend.

I’m wary now. “Oh, just some guy I met... ummm… on an internet dating site.” Why the fuck did I just say that?

“You what?” Rachel shouts.

An internet dating website? Somehow I’m sure she’ll think that’s even worse than trying to date Marcus the DJ.

“You are hopeless, you know that, Lauren? Why do you always date freaks?”

“Marcus isn’t a freak!”

"Oh!" Rachel exclaims. "I knew it! You're an idiot, Lauren."
