“Alex? What the fuck do you want?” Nate barked.
Alexander Wolf, his twin brother, was standing in front of him with a sickening grin on his face. Nate’s old intense hatred for him resurfaced upon seeing him, and rage boiled inside him.
“Last time I checked, this is my house too,” Alex said. He was used to Nate’s rude behavior and was not swayed by it one bit.
“Just answer my goddamn question,” Nate said.
“Relax, bro, I just came here to visit dad. Is this any way to treat your brother?” Alex raised his eyebrows.
“You are not my brother. I denounced you for what you did,” Nate glared at him.
“I’m afraid that’s not how it works. I’m still your twin brother. And come on! It has been a year already, so just let it go! I miss how close we used to be.&r
“Sorry I’m late,” Alex said and sat down beside Jessica.“Whoa! I didn’t realize there were two of you, Nate!” Amelia exclaimed.Alex chuckled. “Hi, I’m Alex. Nate’s twin.”Wow, Amelia thought. They looked exactly alike yet different somehow. Nate had a dark shadow over his face and always looked depressed, but Alex gave out a completely different vibe. He was more cheerful and had a certain spark in his eyes.I want Nate’s eyes to glow with happiness too…, she thought suddenly.Another difference she noticed in Alex’s face was that it was missing a tiny scar on his forehead.She noticed Nate was avoiding looking at Alex the entire time. Aren’t twins supposed to be close? Their attitude towards each other was more like a distant relative than a brother.
“What do you mean you have a date?” Nate typed on his laptop.It was Saturday afternoon. Nate was playing an online game, then suddenly, his Facebook messenger dinged, indicating someone sent him a message.Nate scoffed. He usually ignores every message, but something told him to check this one.“Hey, best friend! I found you on Facebook! Add me!” said the message from Amelia.Of course…she couldn’t leave her alone on the internet either. Nate smiled to himself. What an obnoxious and persistent girl!“Hey, what’s up?” he typed.“Oh, not much, just thinking about what to wear on my date. Any advice?” she replied.A date? Was Amelia seeing someone? Wait…of course, she can see anyone she wants. It’s not like they were boyfriend and girlfriend
“WHAT!” Amelia screamed and gripped Nate’s shirt.“What the hell….let go of me, psycho!” Nate cringed and tried to get out of Amelia’s death grip, but she was surprisingly strong for a skinny, hundred-pound girl.“I will let go of you once you tell me it isn’t true!” she groaned.Nate was having lunch with Amelia at the cafeteria. It has been a few more weeks since they became friends again. He didn’t mind being friends with her anymore and was actually getting used to hanging out with her. He still kept his distance from everyone else because he still hated people.“What’s the big deal?” he said and tried to take a bite out of his sandwich, but Amelia slapped it off of his hand.“Hey! The fuck…..” Nate glared at her, but she ignored it. It was as if she was immu
Nate grumpily got ready for the weekend trip. He had no desire to go hang out with a bunch of stupid high school kids. Why the hell did he agree to this again?Oh yeah, that’s right. The words slipped right out of his mouth when he heard Ryan coming along to the trip. He was just trying to be a good friend. He couldn’t possibly let her be alone with a boy in some remote cabin even though she is dating that boy.Pfft…dating, he thought. Such a pointless thing. It’s not like Nate never craved a company of a woman before. But when he did, he simply made a booty call to the girls who were desperate and called it a night. He had no desire to date anyone.He went to pick up Amelia. She was waiting for him by the door. She smiled brightly as she saw him coming. His heart did a little flip when he saw her smile, but he didn’t smile back.“So tell me again, why
“Can I help you?” Nate asked gruffly.“You like her, don’t you?” Alex asked.“Who, Amanda? No, not really,” Nate replied. “Why is everyone keep asking me about that?”“I was talking about Amelia. I saw the way you were looking at her when she was snuggling with Ryan,” Alex said and smirked. “You looked jealous. And don’t try to deny it because I know what you look like when you are jealous.”“I bet you do, asshole. What’s it to you anyway? And why are you talking to me?” Nate retorted.“Oh, come on! How long are you going to keep up this act, brother? You can’t stay mad at me forever. Why can’t we go back to the way we were?” Alex pouted.“That’s where you are wrong, ‘brother,’ you took somethi
“Well, now you know my secret, so it’s your turn to tell me about you and Alex,” she said and broke the hug.“Ah…right. Alex and I weren’t always like this. We were very close. We are twins after all,” Nate paused. “We used to do everything together. We had the same friends. Well, they were mostly introduced to me by him because he was a social butterfly. I barely talked to anyone. I was anyways the quiet kid,” Nate stopped. His voice was turning grim.“What happened between you guys?” Amelia asked, encouraging him to go on.“Well, in our freshman year, I got a girlfriend. Her name was Destiny. Even though I wasn’t as outgoing as Alex, girls liked me. They always go after the dark and mysterious types,” Nate smirked.Amelia rolled her eyes. “Go on,” she said.“Des
“Wow,” Amelia said after hearing Nate finished his story. “No wonder you hate him so much. He sounds like a horrible brother.”“Yeap, fuck him,” Nate scoffed.“So….the girl in the picture in your room, is that Destiny? Why do you still keep her picture?” she asked.“Yes, I guess I should’ve burned that picture,” he laughed bitterly.“You still love her, don’t you?” Amelia said quietly.“I don’t know… I want to think that I hate her. Love caused nothing but pain to me,” he said and looked away.Amelia touched his hand. She half expected him to brush it away, but he didn’t move an inch. He felt her shiver all of a sudden.“You are cold,” he said when he felt her tremble. He held her hand
Amanda was lying on his bed wearing nothing but a skimpy nightshirt. She gave him a seductive smile.“What are you doing here?” Nate asked.“Just came to see if you needed some company,” she said.“What I need is some good night’s sleep, so you should leave,” he said, clearly annoyed at her intrusion.Amanda got up and wrapped her arms around him. “Come on, Nate, I’ve always had a crush on you. Alex and I have always been good friends, but you, you are a mystery to me,” she said.“And I’d like it to remain that way,” he said.“I can’t stop thinking about that kissed we shared,” she whispered.“It was for a stupid game. It didn’t mean anything,” He said.“Maybe I should remind
