My Secret Sibling

Chapter 3 ~ Surprise!

That night I didn't sleep very well. All I could think about is when I could meet my sister and mom. Wait a minute I was asking a lot of random questions but not the important ones like what their names were or how they are doing. But he said that they haven't talked to each other very much so I guess he wouldn't know that either (I hope he would still know their names, though). I mean that conversation cleared a lot of things up like why I have never known any of my grandparents very well.

I go downstairs hoping to not run into my dad and, just like yesterday, start pouring myself a bowl of cereal. I go get my phone from the counter and start checking my social media. I notice on musical.ly I have gotten 3 new followers and 24 likes since yesterday, weird. I look at who started to follow and click on their profiles, as I click on the third one I notice that is it my twin sister. Now that I know her name, which is Daisy, and looks her up on Instagram and Tumblr. I pull up her Instagram and it turns out she has a pretty interesting life and a really hot boyfriend. I know right some of you guys (and girls) are like "Whoa she's your twin sister" well yes but I barely know her and I wasn't thinking of anything creepy(like wearing the same clothes as her so he thinks I'm her) nope not all...

I get off my phone and finish getting ready when I hear my dad downstairs booting up the computer that is in his office. I go and spy on him for a couple minutes and see that he is pulling up a dating site. My first reaction was "why is he on this?" and then I see that he has a 'match'. I immediately burst out laughing and he turns around.

"What are you laughing at?" he says in a very confused face.

"You are on a dating site," I say in between laughs "and you have a match" and I start laughing even harder.

"Yes I do and I am proud of it. You know what I am going to prove you wrong and ask her out on a date tonight." He says very seriously because he enjoys proving me wrong.

"Ok, isn't it a little of a late notice, though?" I say questioning his idea.

"Yes but it's worth a shot right?" I say as he is turning around to start typing "Now you better go to the bus stop or you will almost miss the bus again."

"Sure dad, but one question. What is her name?"

"Her name is Jane. Now go wait for the bus and get out of my business" he says and I realize he didn't really want me to see that he got a match.

I head out the door and say "Now you're starting to sound like a teenager Dad" then run to the bus stop to anxiously wait to tell Makayla about yesterday's car ride(or sit technically). As I get to the bus stop I look around and Makayla is not here so I ask Ryker if he knows where she is. He says he is not sure then he walks away. I think he is kind of cute not the hottest guy in school but up there. I just wish we would talk more but I know he is shy so I don't push it.

Soon the bus comes around the corner and Makayla was still not here, weird. So I sit with Ryker instead (he normally sits with his guy friends but I don't know where they are either.) and as soon as my butt hits the seat he starts yapping about the upcoming dance. He is totally different when you get close to him than from a distance. I tell him I don't plan to go and then he turns as white as a ghost.

"Are you ok?" I ask him because one thing I absolutely hate is people vomiting.

He looks at me like he is deciding something then says "Yeah, I guess I was just thinking."

"Ok well just please don't get sick," I say scooting a little farther away from him.

Shortly after the incident, we arrive at school. As I get off the bus he asks me to meet him in the courtyard at 8:30. I agree and go to my locker because it is currently 8:28. I have to be fast if I don't want to miss this meeting. Right before I head to the courtyard I text Makayla and ask her what I should do. Of course, she doesn't answer and so I head to the courtyard without her advice.

As soon as I get to the courtyard I realize there are a lot more people in this small outdoor space than usual. I immediately start looking for Ryker because the sooner I find him the sooner I can get out of here. I look around everywhere for him when I hear my name from the corner.

"Ok, there you are," I say relieved to find him "Alrighty so why did you need me?" I say sticking my thumbs into my back pockets.

He has a nervous look on his face but says "Well this was supposed to be special but more people showed up than I thought so.... Will you go to the dance with me?"

Ok, guys so this is like a moment in the movies where it pauses to let the person talk or whatever. I mean I am just so confused why me and why after I told him I'm not going. If I had a drink in my mouth I most likely would have spit it all over him. "I told you that I don't plan to go to this dance maybe we can go out sometime or something though" suggesting something other than a high school dance.

"Um....ok well thanks for meeting me here I guess"

Then all of the sudden Makayla and Ryker's friends jump out with a banner asking me to go to the dance with him. He kind of does the kill its thing on your throat to tell them to stop but it doesn't work and I awkwardly told them what had happened. Next thing I know on of Ryker's friends is yelling at him telling him he should have asked sooner and to stop being such a wimp so I stand up for him.

"It's not his fault. Plus I didn't turn him down we are going out somewhere different than a lame dance." I say hoping it came out with a little more confidence than it did on the inside.

Just as he is about to say something the bell rings and I rush off to class with Makayla close behind still stunned about the earlier events.

As I take my seat in home room something happens that I will never forget, something I will always be known for, something that made me flip.

Hey guys so it's summertime and all of my testing is over with so I am starting to write again. I am working on stacking up on chapters so that you guys won't have to wait as long next time. During the summer I go on vacations (where I will not be writing) and summer camp (which We are not allowed to have electronics).So I hope you guys are enjoying the book so far and I plan on writing some shorter chapters so they will come sooner. I should have a regular schedule. Also sorry if this is in a weird format I am writing this on a computer. Thanks checking this book out!
