It was a typical dreary Washington day and we were starting our environmental science class before we would head out to the woods later in the day. I sat in my usual spot in the back of the class going over my notes from the previous lecture. Tuesdays were my busiest days because not only did I have all my forestry classes, but I also had a political science class in a huge lecture hall in the evening. I sipped on my large coffee that would hopefully help me make it nine o’clock when Darren and Matthew took their spots on either side of me.

“Hello, friends,” I said cheerfully, not looking up from my notes.

“Ah, it’s Tuesday,” Matthew said noticing the coffee. “The day in which Lena becomes a superhero masochist.”

“Superhero is fine, thank you,” I retorted. I honestly didn’t hate my life, it would all be worth it when I could make a difference in my little town and hopefully the world.

“I take it you won’t be coming over tonight then,” Darren added and I finally looked up because I could hear the twinge of disappointment in his voice.

“Probably not,” I replied and I smiled at him warmly. “But tomorrow I am all yours.” I winked at them both because if the night went like it usually did, I would get to be with both of them.

The class was pretty boring; we were learning about different animal partnerships. I was definitely more of the hands-on learning type and much preferred when we were outside studying these topics in nature, but I understood that it needed to be done both ways. I eagerly took notes and highlighted things in my textbook that I was sure I would need to study later. Our professor was all about exams that had essay question after essay question. Eventually, we wrapped up the lesson and he told us that he’d meet us at the edge of the wood at one o’clock.

“Where are you off to now?” Darren asked as we collected our books and began to head out of the room.

“I’ve got an hour until biology.” I explained. “But I need to return some library books so that they don’t whack me with any late fees. It shouldn’t take too long; I can meet you in the student center so you can copy off my homework.”

Darren looked at me sheepishly, but of the two, Matthew was definitely the better student. I didn’t mind helping him out, though, he was so sweet and protective of me, that I felt lucky that I’d gotten to know him on almost a daily basis.

We went our separate ways and I walked quickly as the mist that so often made its presence known in Washington was beginning to make me feel damp. I pushed the library books through the slot outside the building when some made a noise to get my attention. Underneath the overhang of a building were what appeared to be a set of twins. One was a girl and the other way a boy.
