Becoming Alyssa Hamilton

Chapter 2

~Chpater 2~

I must be crazy.

I mean, who does this?

The girl who gets killed first in the horror movies, thats who.

Four days ago, I got a phone call in the middle of the night from Alyssa Hamilton. Who is that? I have no idea. I,ve never met her. Never even heard the name before monday. That's when she told me that I was her twin sister.

What the hell, right? Who calls someone at two in the morning and drops that kind of information on them? Then again I am the one who agreed to meeting her. One of us is definitley crazy, I just dont know which one yet. 

As I pull into a parking space I glance at the clock. She instructed me to meet her at the airport oasis at ten AM. It was already 10:15. I swear I can never be on time for anything. My dad used to joke about it al the time.

As I took a deep breath and walked through the doors I immeadiatly noticed two things.

One~ There was a starbucks at the opposite end that I was already bee-lining to. ( Something like this requires coffee)

Two~ This place is packed. I have no clue how im supoposed to find Alyssa.

I get the drink I ordered, then turned to find a table to sit at. I almost drop my coffee at what I see. I see a girl at a table directly in front of me. She's looking at the time on her phone impatiently. The girls looks identical to me. Seriously, Its like looking in the mirror.

She looks up, and hefr eyes meet mine. Her expression matches mine. Eyes wide, mouth slightly open, surprise written all our her face. I walk toward her, trying to put on a braver face.

"Alyssa?" She simply nodded in response, expression not changing.

"Um, I get the feeling you didnt expect me to show. My name's Talia...Twin number two...I guess." I say, weakly attempting a joke.

She clears her throat. "Alyssa Hamilton." She introduces herself. "Or Anderson, which I guess is our dad's last name. I've always used moms considering thats the only parent I ever knew. How is dad by the way?"

"Um..He's fine."  I spit the lie ot like it was venom. I noticed how casual she was about all of this, now that the inital shock was gone. She spoke to me and asked about dad, as if she was catching up with an old friend.

I decided to change the subject. " So, how did you find me?" I asked.

"Its kind of a long story." She replied "So ill spare you some details.Bsically, one of my friends showed me your Youtube videos, saying how weird it was that we looked exactly alike. Your address, phone number and email were all bon your Channel,so when I saw you lived so close decided to contact you."

"Well ,when I put that information up it was for fans to contact me, or write to me. A long lost sister was hardly what I expected." She laughed at this, but then her expression changed to one of confusiin.

"You actaully have that many fans? I mean, like your one of those youtube famous people that gets fan mail and stuff?"

"I wouldnt say famous exactly. But yes." I shrugged. "Soyou really just wanted to meet me? Does anyone else know about this?"

"No, just me. And why would I not have wanted to meet you?'

"Usually people dont call at two in the morning just to say 'hey'"

"Oh, that. Well there is more to it. I need you to pretend to be me for a few months." I nearly choked when I heard this.

"Excuse me?" I asked, swallowing hard. This girl really dosent beat aroound the bush with news like this.

"So the thing is, is that everyone thinks i've been living in Australia for the past two months like for the summer but really I've been in London and I kinda started a life there. So now Im going to move there but I dont want to tell anyone yet until I know I can live their on my own. Because if i do everyone would expect me to fail, then if I did I'd never live it down. So I need to get a house or apartment and a job and settle my life there before telling anyone. The problem is im suppossed to be coming home in a week and school is starting soon so I cant exactly just dissapeer."

She took a breath for the first time in the long explanation.

"SO, Thats where you come in. If you take my place then I can do this without ruining my reputation and without huge expectations set on my shoulders. The reason im moving in the first place is to get away from all that."

yup, she's definitley the crazy one. I have a physco twin, and my life has become a walking cliche.

It takes a good three minutes of awkward silence before I can respond. "Get away from what exactly? Why is it so important that you leave?"

"Well I've always wanted to get out of New York. Live somewhere else, and never look back. The problem is I come from a world of High Expectations. If I announce im going to  live on my own everyone else will start placing bets on how long I'll last, before I can even pack my suitcase. I cant deal with the pressure anymore." She re-explained.

As I was contemplating all the horrible outcomes of the situation, she sighed.

"I know. I know its a lot to ask. especially since we've never really met before. But we are family so I was hoping..I dont even know."

She had to pull the 'Family Card' didnt she. I thought as she rambeled on and stood up to  leave.

"Wait." I spoke. "If I were t agree to this-" I was cut off by her squealing and jumping up and down.

"Hold up, slow down. IF I do this..." I began again. "First of all how long would I have to pretend to be you? Second I dont know anything about you. You're gonna need to teach me basically everything."

"Only for a few months. Im not completely sure. Just until I get settled. So you'll do it."

"Ill do it."

My God were both insane.

She squealed again. Im definitly gonna have to practice a lot to convince people im her. Squealing? She's done that more in the last 2 minutes than I have in my whole life.

"ThankYouThankYouThankYou!" She hugged me. Im going to Email you all the details and tell hyou everything you need to know. But Now I have to catch my flight, Im heading back to London Today.You're absolutly amazing. I'll contact you soon!" She yelled, then took off running.

"Alyssa!" I called after her. Shes got to be kidding. I agree to ake her place and shes leaving for another country now? How does she expect me to know wha to do?

Oh right. She will "email me details".

Im going to learn everything about her fro a damn email.

Yeah right.
