Twinsequences (A Twisted Twin Series) (2 page)

That
 was
 my
 biggest
 mistake.
 
I
 was
 already
 disappointed
 in
 myself,
 but
 it
 was
 something
 that
 I
 felt
 
obligated
 to
 do,
 no
 matter
 what
 the
 risk
 was.
 “Fine.
 You
 owe
 me
 big
 for
 this
 one.”
 
“Anything!
 You
 just
 name
 it.”
 She
 wrapped
 her
 arms
 around
 me.
 “What
 would
 
I
 do
 without
 you,
 sis?”
 
“Apparently,
 flunk
 Biology.”
 
She
 snickered
 as
 she
 started
 to
 walk
 out
 of
 the
 room.
 “Now
 that
 you’ve
 
helped
 me
 solve
 my
 itsy
 bitsy
 problem,
 I
 can
 concentrate
 on
 getting
 myself
 all
 
sexified
 up
 for
 this
 party
 tonight.
 Everyone
 is
 going
 to
 be
 there.
 I’m
 so
 excited.”
 
Everyone
 wasn’t
 going
 to
 be
 there.
 I’d
 be
 catching
 up
 on
 biology,
 in
 my
 room,
 
alone.
 
I
 only
 studied
 for
 a
 few
 hours
 before
 I
 got
 bored
 and
 my
 mind
 went
 back
 to
 
Stoshua.
 I
 was
 running
 out
 of
 time
 to
 tell
 him
 how
 I
 felt.
 It
 was
 going
 to
 happen.
 
 
There
 was
 a
 big
 end
 of
 year
 assembly
 for
 the
 seniors.
 We
 were
 both
 on
 the
 
clean
 up
 committee
 and
 would
 have
 to
 stay
 after
 school.
 When
 we
 were
 alone,
 I
 was
 
going
 to
 tell
 him
 everything.
 He
 would
 finally
 find
 out
 just
 how
 crazy
 in
 love
 with
 
him
 I
 was.
 Since
 I
 was
 so
 sure
 he
 felt
 the
 same
 way,
 I
 was
 excited
 and
 optimistic.
 
The
 assembly
 was
 focused
 on
 superlatives,
 which
 my
 sister
 won
 a
 lot
 of.
 She
 
was
 most
 beautiful,
 most
 daring,
 and
 most
 popular.
 Everyone
 cheered
 when
 she
 
went
 up
 to
 collect
 her
 little
 awards.
 
 
I
 spotted
 Stosh
 in
 the
 crowd
 and
 caught
 him
 looking
 back
 at
 me
 three
 times.
 
It
 gave
 me
 even
 more
 courage.
 
 
After
 the
 assembly
 was
 over,
 I
 weeded
 through
 the
 crowd
 to
 find
 him.
 I
 
should
 have
 known
 when
 I
 saw
 him
 standing
 in
 front
 of
 my
 sister
 that
 something
 
was
 wrong.
 It
 just
 didn’t
 dawn
 on
 me
 that
 it
 would
 go
 the
 way
 it
 went.
 
They
 both
 saw
 me
 heading
 their
 way.
 My
 smile
 turned
 upside
 down
 and
 my
 
heart
 was
 beating
 a
 thousand
 times
 too
 fast.
 
 “What’s
 up?”
 
They
 looked
 at
 each
 other
 and
 then
 back
 at
 me.
 “Stoshua
 just
 asked
 me
 to
 
prom.
 We
 are
 going
 to
 be
 the
 hottest
 couple
 there.
 I
 just
 know
 it.”
 She
 put
 her
 arm
 
into
 his
 and
 waited
 for
 me
 to
 reply.
 
Of
 all
 the
 people
 on
 the
 entire
 planet,
 nobody
 could
 have
 hurt
 me
 like
 my
 
sister
 did
 at
 that
 very
 moment.
 I
 was
 literally
 crushed
 into
 a
 million
 pieces.
 “I
 didn’t
 
know
 you
 guys
 liked
 each
 other.”
 
They
 both
 looked
 at
 each
 other
 and
 shrugged.
 After
 all
 of
 this
 time,
 I’d
 
thought
 he
 was
 interested
 in
 me,
 when
 the
 whole
 time
 he’d
 only
 been
 into
 my
 sister.
 
She’d
 probably
 told
 him
 to
 be
 nice
 to
 me.
 
 
I
 felt
 like
 such
 a
 fool.
 
“That’s
 great.”
 I
 could
 feel
 the
 burning
 in
 my
 throat.
 I
 was
 choking
 back
 my
 
own
 pain
 to
 try
 and
 be
 happy
 for
 my
 sister.
 It
 was
 impossible
 to
 even
 look
 at
 Stosh.
 I
 
wanted
 to
 die!
 
The
 next
 week
 was
 even
 worse.
 Ivy
 drug
 me
 all
 over
 town,
 looking
 for
 the
 
perfect
 dress.
 She
 said
 she
 needed
 to
 be
 the
 hottest
 girl
 there.
 
 
When
 she
 found
 her
 version
 of
 a
 perfect
 dress,
 which
 consisted
 of
 it
 just
 
ending
 at
 her
 ass
 and
 showing
 entirely
 too
 much
 cleavage,
 she
 got
 even
 more
 
annoying.
 “You
 know,
 you
 should
 come
 to
 prom.
 We
 could
 get
 matching
 dresses,
 like
 
we
 did
 when
 we
 were
 kids.”
 
“No
 thanks.
 Prom
 isn’t
 my
 kind
 of
 scene.
 I’m
 just
 going
 to
 catch
 a
 movie.
 You
 
know,
 the
 statistics
 show
 that
 drunk
 driving
 is
 heightened
 during
 events
 such
 as
 
dances.
 Drug
 use
 is
 even
 worse.
 I
 prefer
 being
 home
 by
 ten
 and
 knowing
 I
 will
 wake
 
up
 in
 one
 piece.”
 
She
 rolled
 her
 eyes
 at
 me.
 “Whatever!”
 While
 admiring
 herself
 in
 the
 mirror,
 
“I
 seriously
 wonder
 what
 planet
 you
 came
 from
 sometimes.
 I
 mean,
 do
 you
 even
 
hear
 yourself?”
 
If
 she
 wasn’t
 my
 sister,
 I
 knew
 we’d
 never
 be
 friends.
 We
 had
 nothing
 in
 
common
 except
 our
 looks.
 
 “I
 can’t
 help
 who
 I
 am.
 When
 I’m
 out
 of
 college
 and
 I
 have
 
a
 good
 job,
 I’ll
 have
 plenty
 of
 time
 to
 go
 out
 and
 have
 fun.
 I
 just
 don’t
 want
 to
 make
 a
 
mistake
 that
 could
 cost
 me
 the
 future
 that
 I’m
 working
 so
 hard
 for.
 You
 can’t
 hate
 
me
 for
 being
 responsible.”
 
“You
 really
 need
 to
 live
 a
 little.
 Your
 vagina
 is
 going
 to
 shrivel
 up
 like
 an
 old
 
lady
 if
 you
 don’t
 use
 it!”
 
I
 rolled
 my
 eyes.
 “My
 vagina
 is
 fine,
 thank
 you
 very
 much.”
 
“Don’t
 say
 I
 didn’t
 warn
 ya.”
 She
 continued
 admiring
 herself
 in
 the
 mirror.
 
“Just
 because
 I’m
 saving
 myself,
 doesn’t
 mean
 I’m
 a
 prude.
 I’m
 happy
 with
 my
 
life.
 One
 day
 I
 can
 look
 back
 and
 be
 happy
 with
 my
 decisions.
 I
 don’t
 want
 regrets,
 
Ivy.”
 She
 was
 going
 to
 have
 them.
 Everything
 my
 sister
 did
 made
 me
 wonder
 what
 
the
 hell
 she
 was
 thinking.
 
Since
 dress
 shopping
 had
 been
 a
 nightmare,
 I
 avoided
 my
 sister
 until
 the
 big
 
day.
 I’d
 had
 my
 moments
 and
 it
 was
 a
 blessing
 that
 we
 didn’t
 share
 rooms.
 I’d
 cried
 
myself
 to
 sleep
 every
 night
 and
 being
 in
 school
 wasn’t
 easier.
 I
 had
 to
 maintain
 my
 
friendship
 with
 Stosh
 like
 nothing
 had
 happened.
 He
 was
 into
 my
 sister,
 which
 
meant
 he
 had
 never
 been
 into
 me.
 It
 was
 like
 a
 slap
 in
 the
 face
 to
 have
 to
 put
 on
 a
 
smile
 everyday
 and
 pretend
 that
 our
 friendship
 hadn’t
 been
 tainted.
 
When
 he
 started
 asking
 me
 questions
 about
 my
 sister,
 I
 wanted
 to
 scream.
 
 
Then
 they
 became
 more
 than
 just
 prom
 dates.
 I
 saw
 him
 walking
 her
 to
 class
 
and
 she
 kissed
 him
 right
 in
 front
 of
 me.
 I
 wanted
 to
 cringe.
 The
 two
 people
 that
 I
 
loved
 the
 most
 were
 into
 each
 other.
 I
 was
 the
 odd
 person
 out.
 Nothing
 was
 going
 to
 
be
 the
 same.
 
As
 upset
 as
 I
 was
 about
 their
 situation,
 I
 did
 switch
 places
 with
 my
 sister
 and
 
take
 her
 exam.
 For
 some
 reason,
 I
 didn’t
 think
 about
 having
 to
 pretend
 to
 be
 her
 
around
 Stosh.
 He
 found
 me
 walking
 down
 the
 hall
 and
 grabbed
 my
 hand.
 I’d
 
pictured
 it
 for
 so
 long
 and
 wondered
 what
 it
 would
 be
 like
 to
 have
 his
 large
 hand
 
holding
 mine.
 
 
He
 kept
 looking
 at
 me
 and
 smiling,
 but
 didn’t
 say
 anything.
 
 A
 few
 people
 
passed
 us
 in
 the
 hall
 and
 he
 spoke
 to
 them,
 but
 not
 to
 me.
 When
 we
 arrived
 at
 my
 
sister’s
 class,
 I
 knew
 we
 had
 to
 say
 something.
 “Thanks
 for
 walking
 with
 me.”
 
“It
 was
 my
 pleasure.”
 He
 played
 with
 my
 bangs,
 causing
 me
 to
 blush.
 I
 was
 so
 
hot
 for
 him
 but,
 I
 couldn’t
 tell
 him.
 
I
 bit
 down
 on
 my
 lip.
 “Willow
 isn’t
 here
 today.”
 
“Really?
 Where
 is
 she?”
 
“She’s
 not
 feeling
 well.”
 It
 wasn’t
 totally
 a
 lie.
 I
 felt
 like
 I
 was
 going
 to
 puke.
 
“Good
 thing
 she
 finished
 her
 exams.
 I
 just
 thought
 we
 could
 hang
 out
 in
 the
 
library.
 Oh
 well,
 I
 guess
 I’ll
 just
 take
 a
 nap.”
 
 I
 thought
 he
 was
 just
 going
 to
 walk
 away.
 I
 mean,
 he
 started
 to,
 but
 all
 of
 the
 
sudden
 he
 turned
 around
 and
 pulled
 me
 into
 his
 arms.
 Butterflies
 filled
 my
 stomach
 
as
 he
 closed
 his
 eyes
 and
 pressed
 his
 warm
 lips
 on
 mine.
 I
 would
 have
 been
 able
 to
 
manage
 with
 just
 a
 peck,
 but
 it
 escalated
 quickly.
 His
 tongue
 intruded
 it’s
 way
 into
 
my
 mouth
 and
 found
 mine.
 I
 just
 couldn’t
 help
 myself.
 I’d
 dreamed
 of
 kissing
 this
 
fabulous
 guy
 for
 so
 long.
 I
 had
 to
 feel
 what
 it
 was
 like
 once.
 
I’d
 never
 seen
 him
 kiss
 my
 sister
 so
 intensely.
 He
 grabbed
 the
 back
 of
 the
 hair
 
on
 my
 head
 and
 kissed
 me
 again
 and
 again.
 I
 never
 even
 noticed
 that
 the
 bell
 had
 
rang
 until
 the
 teacher
 cleared
 his
 voice.
 “Do
 you
 plan
 on
 taking
 your
 final
 exam,
 
Ivy?”
 
Stoshua
 pulled
 away,
 but
 not
 before
 placing
 a
 small
 kiss
 on
 my
 forehead.
 “It
 
was
 worth
 it,”
 he
 whispered
 before
 walking
 away.
 
I
 walked
 into
 the
 classroom
 with
 my
 heart
 beating
 out
 of
 my
 chest.
 From
 just
 
one
 kiss,
 I’d
 fallen
 more
 in
 love
 with
 him.
 My
 sister
 was
 never
 going
 to
 forgive
 me
 
and
 I
 didn’t
 even
 care.
 
Well,
 I
 didn’t
 care
 about
 anything
 Ivy
 related
 until
 I
 got
 home
 and
 heard
 her
 
talking
 about
 him.
 She
 was
 all
 excited
 and
 trying
 on
 her
 dress
 for
 the
 twentieth
 time.
 
“I
 can’t
 wait
 until
 tomorrow.
 We’re
 going
 to
 have
 
 such
 a
 good
 time.
 He’s
 going
 to
 
have
 a
 night
 he
 will
 never
 forget.”
