The Twins

Spotted: A storm brewing in the school corridors, and its epicenter? None other than DARLING, trailing behind the iconic twins Thing1 and Thing2 like a lost puppy with a questionable agenda. Everyone knew DARLING had it bad for Thing2 — but subtlety was not his specialty. Instead of a harmless crush, he turned into a full-time background character in their lives, appearing in every hallway, every corner, every “coincidental” encounter. The twins didn’t even need to say it. The whole school felt the creep factor. When Thing2 mentioned a manga she liked, DARLING didn’t take the hint. He took it as a mission — going home and reading the entire series in one night, as if her casual comment was a personal challenge. Dramatic? Yes. Cute? Absolutely not. And the late-night texting? Legendary for all the wrong reasons. The one time Thing2 replied, DARLING was reportedly glowing — showing people the chat even though it already said “Seen · 4 weeks ago.” The delusion was loud. He even sent a friend as a wingman, trying to score points with someone who had never shown an ounce of interest. Thing1 and Thing2 remained effortlessly unbothered — something DARLING clearly wasn’t used to. Then came the reality check: Thing2 told him she had a boyfriend. Simple. Clear. Mature. DARLING’s response? Not so much. He immediately pivoted to his ex — someone noticeably younger — a move that set the rumor mill on fire and left everyone wondering whether he was chasing affection or chasing whoever couldn’t outrun him. Now the verdict is in: this wasn’t a love story. It was a cautionary tale — of obsession, impulse, and a boy who confused attention with connection. The twins? Still glowing, still booked, still uninterested. DARLING? Still a headline. You know you love me, ECholine, XOXO
