Authors note;
Hello again, soooooo, this was my attempt to make you understand just how young these two are.
That's why I have placed the story within school, albeit they are finishing.
In a way it's also the way I wish I had ended my school year, back then I was far too shy and to do what Rachel does. Perhaps if I had, then my life would have been different. My boyfriend at the time didn't make the grades he wanted and I ended up going to a different Uni to him.
That said, please enjoy it for what it is, my try at keeping a loving couple together while acknowledging they are too young to understand the realities of this world.
As always, please, please comment. It helps me enormously and quite often I use the comments as a sounding board for where I have gone wrong.
Fliccy.

The Twins part 5.
It was a beautiful summer morning, there had been a tiny bit of rain during the night that had left everything smelling fresh and new.
The whole area was green and seemed lively, birds flew joyfully and their happy songs filled the air.
It was almost as if nature itself knew that for Rachel and Jack this was the last time they would have to wear their school Uniforms.
The Twins walked to the bus stop and chatted excitedly about their last official day at school, it wasn't even going to be a full day, all they had to do was attend an assembly, pick up their 'A' Level results and then either spend some time with the various advisors or just go into town.
Most of their friends had already planned on going straight into town for a celebratory drink, so that's what Rachel and Jack decided they would do too.
The Uniform was straight forward, a dark green jumper with the schools crest on the left breast, plain white shirt or blouse, a Tartan skirt for the girls and plain black trousers for the boys, regulations stated plain black shoes. Rachel wore a pair of black slip-ons that featured a pretty gold buckle as decoration, strictly speaking that was against the rules but she had never been told off for wearing them.
Her short blonde hair was cut in a cute bob that curled under at the nape of her neck with a straight fringe across her brow that came to just above her eyebrows.
Jacks slightly unruly blonde hair was cut short at the back and sides leaving the top a floppy but nice looking mess.
Rachel brushed her fingers threw his hair affectionately. Pushing a few stray strands from his brow while smiling up at him as they talked and waited for the bus.
Jack grinned down at her and stared into her massive bright blue eyes.
She still wasn't completely used to that look of lust on his face, it was nice and sent happy butterflies aflutter in her tummy, shyly she looked away.
There was nothing they could do out here in the open and looking at him too long while he was making it so blatantly obvious he wanted to kiss her would only make matters worse.
Rachel coughed lightly as she looked up the road in the direction the bus would come, "Stop it Jack, your making me wet." She said with only the slightest hint of annoyance at him.
He laughed happily, "Like telling me your wet doesn't make me hard?" he said placing a gentle hand on her shoulder to turn her towards him again.
She placed her hand over his and gave it a gentle squeeze without turning to face him she shook her head, "You know what I meant, lets BOTH behave, in a few months we can spend all the time we want together."
Jack nodded but left his hand on her shoulder, it felt good to touch her and she liked it too as she continued to gently clasp her fingers around his.
They both fell silent and thought about their future plans, Rachel's plan really, she was the one who had thought it all out.
*******
Recent events had caused her to rethink things and had made her realise that they couldn't remain at home if they wanted to continue being lovers.
Firstly they had been caught by their mother, then later by their older brother David.
Just thinking about David made her shiver, she was absolutely positive that if it hadn't been for Vesper, David would have raped her.
The look on his face when he had reached for her had not been that of a sane man.
They had not seen David since, he had returned home, packed his bags and left without a word, only calling their mother to say he had decided to reenlist in the Army. Sandra had been upset but not surprised, he had never really settled into life in the village.
Harry their father was firmly entrenched in their home again, he and Sandra were like a couple of newlyweds and it was almost sickening to watch them together, though both of the Twins were glad to see Sandra so happy again.
Unfortunately Harry was unemployed at the moment and didn't look like he was going to find work anytime soon.
That made things very difficult for the twins to find time alone, forcing them to act like brother and sister almost constantly, when what they really wanted to do was make love.
So the plan was for Jack to go to University like he had originally planned while she went onto study Drama and Dance at a nearby Collage for the arts.
Between them they had already saved enough money from working on the farm and in the local pub to rent a flat in the city, she had looked for and found one that was close to both his and hers desired places of further education.
First of all though they needed to see if they had achieved the required grades to get into their respective collages.
*******
They sat next to their friends and chattered excitedly if a bit anxiously about the day ahead, so much hinged on these results and all of the upper sixth had their own plans for the future.
Jacks best friend kept looking over at Rachel, he had fancied her for ages and ever since she had dumped Ryan a few months back had been daydreaming about her losing control and throwing herself at him.
Jack shook his head sadly as he noticed the direction of Billy's gaze, he was a good mate but not in Rachels league and he felt a bit sorry for his best friend.
Even if Rach had been single and not in love with her brother, Jack knew she wouldn't have gone for Billy, she was just about the prettiest girl at school and highly popular.
While poor Billy was a geek of epic proportions who looked like a potato, he had a brilliant mind and was one of the nicest people around, but that didn't change the way he looked or his obsession with Star Trek.
Billy continued to steal glances at Rach as he talked with Jack, his eyes nearly popped out as she crossed her legs and her skirt rode up to expose even more thigh than usual.
Jack glanced around at his sister, curious as to why Billy's eyes were bugging out.
Rachel immediately knew jack was looking at her and turned her face towards him, they had always shared an uncanny ability to know where the other was and to a limited degree what they were feeling or doing.
His eyebrow was raised and he was smiling, she knew straight away he was looking at her legs and liking what he saw.
Impishly she decided to tease him a little, turning back to her conversation with her friend she shifted in her seat, causing her short skirt to rise even higher.
Billy let out a strangled cough and Jack looked back at his friend who now looked about to keel over.
Laughing to himself he sat back in his seat and shook his head, Rachel was being a tease and it was funny, she wasn't usually like that.
Rachel smiled to herself, knowing her brother had stopped looking she shifted again and demurely pulled her skirt down, to the casual observer it looked like the actions of any other girl who had realised her skirt was riding up.
The rest of the ride into school was uneventful, the lower schoolies were as noisy as ever and it felt like any other day.
********
Rachel walked with her friends into Assembly, Fiona was telling them all about her latest boyfriend, they shared a few shocked giggles as Fiona told them in raw detail what she had been doing with him.
Assembly started and they quietened down to listen to the headmaster and his boring and tedious speech.
He spoke of his high expectations of them and his hopes and dreams for their future success, it was all rubbish and they knew it.
None of them were impressed, you only had to look around at the almost comatose students that only erupted in applause because he had finally stopped talking.
Fiona took the lead and they all went to get their results, moving as a group they hurried towards the table that held their envelops.
Rachel tore hers open and scanned it as quickly as she could, her hands were shaking so much it took two tries to read it properly.
"YES." She squealed in delight as she realised she had made more than the basic requirement to get into the Dramatic Arts collage she had applied to.
Her friends all clasped hands and jumped up and down like a bunch of half crazed children, screaming and shouting with joy as all of them had done better than expected.
The relief and tension they had all been feeling was washed away in euphoria as they clasped the results in one hand while squealing and screaming at each other in congratulatory happiness.
Rachel felt suddenly off.
She looked through the crowd of students and saw Jack, he was looking at her with a wretched face, shaking his head and wringing his hands around the crumpled piece of paper that held his results.
Immediately she felt like the world had gone silent, she no longer heard the shouts of her friends as her sole focus honed in on her twin.
Jack looked like he wanted to cry, she knew it was bad news and pushed her way through the crowd of fellow students without a care, needing to be with him.
She was jostled and bumped many times, none of it mattered as she half ran towards him, knowing something had gone wrong.
Without a word she reached him and snatched the crumpled paper from his listless grip, he looked at the ground as she read it.
Rachel gasped.
