I wish I wasn't so damn shy. I mean I can clearly see that if someone wants something they go out and get it. While I have no guts to do what they do. I mean my friends look at me and always try and get me to go out and face all of my fears. But they don't know who it is and they never will. I made the mistake of telling my brother who it was. Yeah now I will never hear the end of it.

"Are you still thinking about your crush?"

"Jack if you don't leave me alone, you wont beable to have kids in your future."

"Wow! someones mad or depressed which is it?"

"Leave me the hell alone!"

"Gosh. Am I that mean to you?"
I just stared at him. Sometimes I wonder what the hell is wrong with him. I walked away from him. I knew that if I didn't then something bad was going to happen. I looked back once, then I turned and continued to walk. I have to see what happens when I wake up from my nap. I hope that it's not what always happens.

When I woke up I heard my dad knocking on my door. When I didn't answer my dad walked in.
"Oh! I didn't know that you were sleeping."

I yawned out it's ok. I looked behind him and Jack was doing this really weird dance. Like he had to tell me something or he really had to go to the bathroom.

"Why are you dancing like that? You look like a lunatic."

"Takes one to know one. But to answer your other question, I know something that you don't."

I looked him and shook it off. I mean we are twins but sometimes I wonder where he came from. At times we do act the same, but we don't always act the same. Like last week, we were in our English class and I was acting like him and he was acting like me. I was paying more attention than he was and he was off in la la land. I was laughing so hard the teacher had me go wait in the hall, then my brother gets kicked out of the class as well. I was so funny my dad had to come and get us from school. We had a three week suspension.Not that big of a deal for me.

"Ok smart boy what is it then?"

"Dad is having some friends over from his work. They have a son in our grade and you know who he is."

"I know who he is? There are a thousand guys in our grade that I know. Be more specific."

"You may or may not talk to him like everyday."

"Max?"

"Nope! Try again."

"I don't talk to any other guy, except..."

I looked him horrified. Was it really going to be him, in my house with his parents and my brother and dad. Oh my god. I think I'm in trouble. I guess that's what happens when you have fallen so hard for a guy who is... nothing like you.
