When I Say "I love you..."

Chapter 2

I was in my car with my sister, Andria. We were headed toward West Side Wolf’s High School. We were coming back after our two weeks of spring break. A week after I ran into Damen. Our school wasn’t private. In fact it was just the opposite it was huge, and maybe over populated. Andy put the car in park and we got out of the car.

“So, you wanna come with?” Andy asked me. I nodded my head. I didn’t always go to parties with my twin, but I did on occasion.

“Ya, I’ll go.” I said smiling. My sister and I were pretty close for sisters. Most twins don’t like having someone that looks like them, and shares birthday presents with them, and everyone always expects one to look like the other. That’s not the case with me and Andy. Andy and I used to be like that, well, Andy did. I always loved being her twin. She used to hate it though. How we were always together. That changed though when in school we were distanced a little and yet there was always someone to back us up in a fight. Andy and I weren’t just sisters we were best friends.

Andy didn’t look a whole lot like me either. We both were born with green almost brown eyes and blond hair. I got the nearly brown hair and brown eyes as I got older, while Andy’s hair turned brighter blonde and her eyes stayed bright green. We still had the same straight nose as our mother though, and while I grew out of my freckles Andy kept hers. She hates them, but they’re light and hardly noticeable. I think she looks pretty even with freckles. Not to mention, she didn’t get the geeky glasses and braces in eighth grade like I did. Worst pictures ever.

We walked into the school. We only had a few minutes left until the bell rang so I hurried to my locker and got my stuff from the top shelf, standing on my tip toes. I shut my locker door and without looking I walked right into an opening door. Why did I keep running into things? That’s what I was thinking when I saw Damenagain.

“Sorry he said,” and when I brought my hand down from my throbbing nose he said, “I don’t think that was a coincidence this time.” I pinched the bridge of my nose.

“Funny, I was thinking the same thing. This time it must have been on purpose.” I said.

“Well maybe you should tell me your name so next time I can warn you before I side swipe you, lady.” He told me. I realized where he got the ‘lady’ from. I didn’t miss it.

“Addy,” I said as I started to head to class. I knew the bell would ring any second.

I heard the door close a few seconds later and I was at my classroom. I opened the door and stepped in as the final bell rang. I went to my desk, my nose still aching. Now, I had to go through math with full attention and I had to get over the issue with my nose. I probably had a bruise or bump on my forehead too. Ow, I thought.

Lunch came by fast and I sat with Piper and Whitney and my sister, along with Matt, Dan, and Kyle. We laughed a lot at Kyle who stuck salt in Dan’s milk. Dan kept going to buy a new one because he thought the other three were rotten. Unbeknownsed to him Kyle was the one who was actually rotten. Luckily Whitney convinced him to stop.

“Cut it out Kyle, or I’ll tell him when he gets back,” she told him. Kyle rolled his.

“I wouldn’t do it a fourth time,” Kyle told her. Dan sat down across from Kyle and next to Matt.

“Do what?” He asked taking a sip of his new milk. “Man, we really need some vending machines around here don’t you think? We’ve only got two and they’re on the other side of the school.” Matt smiled but hid it turning away from Dan. Kyle just shrugged.

“Ya, maybe some with ice cream.” Andy said. Was she going where I thought she was going with this? Did dad tell her about that incident a week ago? “What do you think about getting some ice cream at school Addy?” She asked a joking smile playing across features. I blushed and I became very focused in pushing around what was left of my food.

“Don’t you like ice cream?” Piper asked from next to me serious.

“Yes, I liked ice cream until recently...” I told her trailing off at the end and letting my sister finish the rest of it.

“Yup, until someone tripped her and got it all over her favorite sweat-shirt.”

“Was it the track one? The ordered ones we just go?” I nodded to her not wanting to interrupt Andy as she was already sending Piper a look.

“Then she blew up on him just because he ruined her shirt. She totally wiped out that guy’s ice cream and didn’t even say sorry!” Andy finished. I mumbled a little.

“I did too say sorry.” I said quietly. I felt kind of bad about the way I reacted now, maybe I imagined that he was really staring at me. It’s possible he really was just concerned about his ice cream....then I remember all the middle school conversations my posse had when Dan and Kyle first moved here. Matt had grown up with the rest of us. Whitney was his sister and Piper was my best friend, too, like my other sister.
