I hate you...

Chapter 3

AIDEN WHITE

I quickly closed the door and walked outside. Why was Max Steller in my college dorm room. How did Max Steller get into my dorm room? Why is Max Steller at Princeton? How did I not know that Max Steller was going to Princeton? Why didn't Bella or Kalani tell me Max was going to the same college as me?

I quickly whip out my phone and called Kalani.

"Hello?" She answers the phone.

"HELLO!? How can you just be saying hello?" I practically scream.

"Jesus, what's got you in a shit mood?" She questions harshly.

"I don't know, maybe the fact that your boy friend goes to Princeton. Princeton as in the same school as I go to!" I spit.

"Okay, sorry! It's not that big of a deal. He just goes to the same school as you," she spits back.

"It doesn't matter? You didn't even want to tell me, 'oh yeah, Max is going to Princeton too.'," I say with aggression.

"I didn't tell you because I knew you would blow up like this. It shouldn't even matter. He's one of the thousands of people that go to school with you," she defends.

"Yeah well he's the one person who I share a dorm room with!" I say still enraged.

"Oh damn. Okay, well, I didn't think you guys would be roomed together, and I didn't think that it would matter if you went to the same school. I'm sorry, but it's still not that big of a deal," she responds mostly sympathetically.

"It is a big deal though, Kalani," I respond starting to calm down.

"Why though?" She questions.

"You know why," I answer.

"Not really"

"Well you should"

"Well I don't, because you didn't use to hate him"

That's true. I didn't use to hate him. There was a time when I really liked Max actually. It was before high school, and before girls became a thing to us...

It was the first day of elementary school I can really remember. One day our; mine and Kalani's, teacher introduced them; Max and Bella, to the whole class.

She said, "today class we have two new students. Another pair of twins, Max and Bella."

I remember the excitement in the class. Everybody thought it was so cool that there were two pairs of twins in our class. One pair was cool, but two was out of this world amazing to everyone. Everybody was excited, but Kalani and I were the most. From that day on the four of us were attached by the hip. We did everything in school together. As we grew older we grew closer. Until eventually the girls thought that boys were nasty, and they stopped hanging out with us. After that it was just Max and I.

In the third grade Max and Bella moved into the house right next to ours. Max and I spent every single day together. Since we lived so close our parents never cared if we slept at each other's houses, so there was never a night I didn't share the same bed as Max. There was not a single second we were apart from each other. We were closer than brothers. We were even closer than friends. We were the same person.

There was a point in our lives that if you saw one of us you immediately saw the other. During that point in our lives I never ever thought that there would be a possibility of us not being friends. I mean we had gotten necklaces that had each other last names on it. We should have been locked in forever.
