Part 2 -
Simon first met the twins when he moved into his new house.
He was eleven then, and new to the area.
He was also shy and quiet, not used to talking to girls.
Or to anyone, really.
So it surprised him when he was in the garden, alone, one afternoon, and two brunette girls poked their heads over the fence.
"Hey, new boy," one said. She was tall and slim, and had a constant smirk. "What's your name?"
"Uh...Simon," Simon said.
The second girl, smaller but stronger-looking, laughed. "Cute name," she said with a smile. "I'm Tina. This is my sister Poppy. We're twins."
"Nice to meet you," Simon managed.
Poppy gave what looked like a sympathetic smile.
"Oh, Tee, he's shy. It's ok, Simon. You can come over and say hi, if you want. We won't bite."
Simon was so pleased by this offer that he didn't notice the hungry, cruel glance the two girls shared.
"Sure!" he said, running to the fence.
The two girls helped him over and he landed at their feet.
He raised his eyes and noticed that he was eye level with Poppy's feet.
She was wearing sandals, allowing him to see her freshly-painted red toenails.
He glanced up and noticed both girls wore summer dresses.
This meant that a stray gust of wind allowed him to see up Poppy's dress.
Suddenly he felt a weight on the back of his head, and his face was ground into the soil.
"Looking up a girl's dress, Simon?" came Tina's stern voice. "That won't do, will it, sister?"
Poppy added her own foot to Tina's, pressing down on the back of Simon's head.
"No, it won't," she said, amusement in her voice. "Looks like we're going to have to punish you."
