SHE’S MY TWIN
CHAPTER 21
I layed down on my be-d trying to focus but sadly I couldn’t.
come on Alexa, the exam is in three day and you’re still
drooling over him? Sorry not drooling but thinking about him.
it’s alre-ady been a week since I last spoke to Derek. he’s been
giving me some sort of attitude ever since I spoke so rudely to
him.
after that day he visited me at home, I saw him in school the
next day but he completely ignored me unlike before when
he’ll come to meet me and say silly things but now he’s just
so different. he even talks to Alexis more than me now.
Why am I even affected by it. its not like I care. I thought he
was different but sadly he’s like all of them.
.
THREE DAYS LATER
I walked into the Hall to write my exams. about about two
hours, we were done. I went outside and Alexis c@m£ out later.
I’m really happy we’re done with the exams.
“how was it sis” she asked gleefully
“alright” I replied
“great. I’m happy cause I know I did great.” she smiled. just
then her phone rang. I turned to go immediately she picked the
call but st©pped when I heard who the caller was.
“Hi Derek” she replied smiling. I looked at her in astonishment.
is she really…? does she have his contact alre-ady. I stood like
a statue staring at her.
“yeah we’re done” she continued walking past me. I didn’t even
know when I started following her.
“oh so we should go out?” she asked “come on D”
D? she’s fv¢king seriously calling him D now?
“yeah it would be nice to celebr@te. alright. pick the time and
place and text me the address” she said cheerfully
“oh you’ll pick me up?…. wow that’s great. seven it is. I’ll see
you at home. bye” she added before hitting the end bu-tton.
she smiled at me and continued walking. I stood still trying to
process what my mind had heard. they’re going on a d@t£???
we went home, I’ve been observing Alexis single behavior ever
since we c@m£ back.
“mom I’m going out today so I won’t eat dinner” she said to
mom who was in the kitchen.
“where are you going?”
“an after p@rty. Derek invited me” she responded. eyes
twitching, cheeks turning red.
“and your sister?”
I raised my brows immediately I heard sister.
“um I don’t know. Derek didn’t say”
“Alexa are you not going?” mom asked
“no mom” I tried to act normal. de-ep down heaven knows I
was freaking out “I’m going to the bar” I said and stormed into
the be-droom. I threw my things on the floor and went to
shower. I’m not jealous… I can’t be jealous. he’s trying to get
to me. why Alexis of all people.
Later in the evening, we sat down to have dinner when Alexis
c@m£ downstairs, elegantly dressed I a, white off the shoulder
go-wn and heels. is she going on a, d@t£ or after p@rty?
I cleared my throat and continued eating. I feel like I’m
sweating. where’s the damn air con In this house??
“dad I’m leaving now? ” she said k!ss!nghis cheeks
“by the way how was the exam?” dad asked
“spectacular”
“I expect straight distinctions”
“well you got it”
“and where’s Derek” mom asked
“almost here… he said he’ll be here by… ” just then someone
rang the doorbell
“seven sharp.” she rushed to the door and opened it. he c@m£
in and flashed a smile, God he’s so gorgeous. why didn’t I
notice it until now? I swallowed ha-rd .
“right on time” she said hvgging him. he k!$$£d her cheeks. I
almost choked on my food. they even k!ssnow?
“Hi Mr and Mrs Mcurdy… ” he paused then looked at me “Hi
Alexa”
God! it hurts not hearing the word princess. I’ve missed it. wait
what is wrong with me?
“Derek Logia I was told” dad asked
“yes sir. and you don’t nee-d to worry about Alexis, I’ll bring her
back safe. guard her with my life if I have to” he said.
“impressive. I believe she’s in safe hands. she’s very delicate
than her twin” dad, said. for goodness sake, no one should
involve me in this.
he looked at me and shook his head slowly.
“we have to go” Alexis said. why is she in a rush? he’s not
even in a rush to leave.
“young lady. be back soon”
“oh come on dad. do we have to do this like right now?” she
pouted
“alright. enjoy your evening” dad, said and they both walked
out. I volunteered to close the door. i was them walking hand
in hand to his bike.
I closed the door and was heading upstairs when dad called
me
“Alexa, you’re not done eating yet”
“I know. I’ve just lost my appetite” I ran into my room and
closed the door. I can’t believe it. they were gone, like he
chose Alexis over me….
But why am I affected by it? could It be…..?
no who’s dumb enough to fall for a stupid guy like him?
I believe I’m getting dumb..

CHAPTER 22
I kept on turning and tossing, rolling on my be-d. I tried to shut
my eyes and have my sleep but sadly nothings working. thank
goodness all this happened after my exams cause I’m sure I
would have lost it. i won’t even write anything on that paper.
I stood up, walked into the bathroom splashed some water on
my face. i can’t believe that he chose Alexis over me… ok it’s
just an after p@rty but what if there’s more to it than that?
I gr@bb£d my face towel. cleaning the water on my face, I
made my way to the TV and switched it on then I sat down on
my be-d.
my mind kept on pla-ying Derek’s words in my ears. he’s with
her and they deserve each other. two attention stealers.
I was finally dozing off when I heard the screeching a
machine. I peeked throu-gh my window, it was them. they’re
back. I looked at my alarm clock. it was some minutes past
ten.
I went downstairs and peeked throu-gh the window. he was
whispering something In her ears, then he k!$$£d her cheeks.
OMG he just what????
Derek’s POV
.
“do you have to?” Alexis asked. I could tell she wasn’t
comfortable with this
“come on. she’s watching… hey don’t look” I turned her face
so she could stare directly at me.
“isn’t there another way? I hate doing this. she would hate me
even more”
“it’s just a k!sson the cheek”
“but… ” i k!$$£d her cheeks before she finished her s£ntence.
“alright goodnight.”
“sure. goodnight” she responded. I watched her walk inside.
she waved at me before shutting the door behind her.
I wore my helmet and drove off. I can’t believe she’s falling for
it. I thought she was smart. she didn’t believe me when I told
her I’ve got more magic up my sleeve.
Alexis and I didn’t go to any after p@rty. she went to my house.
I took her there in pretence of taking her out. Actually Ken has
a soft sp©t for her so I’m helping them bond. I’m not in love
with Alexis if that’s what you’re thinking… it all happened after
that day she yelled at me and told me to leave her home. I
realized, she’s actually the tough type so I thought I’d be more
tougher.
.
flash back
.
A week earlier
I waited patiently for her to come out from the clas-s and
finally she did.
“Alexis… just the girl I was looking for” I called immediately I
saw her
“Derek? what are you doing here?” she asked surprised.
“we nee-d to talk plea-se”
“but I’m… ”
“plea-se” I begged. she nodded slowly. I took her to a
restaurant and we sat down
“so what’s it about?”
“your sister”
“dude. I know she was wrong to throw you out like that but
that’s how she is”
“can you tell me more about her? like why she behaves like
that?”
“after everything she did, you still wanna know about her”
“I feel like something’s bothering her but she doesn’t wanna
open up.” I said then leaned on the chair
“Well I don’t trust you enough to tell you anything”
“what?”
she shrugged
“maybe that’s why Alexa doesn’t like you”
“like?” I thought to myself and smiled.
“has Alexa been this cold to everyone?”
“yes. ever since we were little and even now especially if it has
to do with me”
“wow. Alexis I nee-d your help”
“why?” she asked looking perplexed
“I want to help Alexa and I nee-d you to pretend to be my
girlfriend?
” girlfriend??”
“not girlfriend per say but like we kinda like each other and
spend sometime together”
“no. Alexa would accuse me for stealing again or trespas-sing”
“don’t you want to see your sister happy again? at least not
spending the rest of her life in a bar anymore”
“Derek… ”
“plea-se just for a while”
she nodded her head slowly indicating that she was OK with it.
.
end of flash back
.
I walked inside my be-droom, had my bath and layed down on
my be-d. I smiled as I remembered Alexa’s expression when
she heard I was taking Alexis out….
she must have been shocked or something..
but wait… why am I doing all of this? could it be that I’m… no,
I’m just helping a friend who seems to be lost…
