Chapter: 3
Vic's POV:
First week has passed in a blur. There was nothing much exciting. Except for the fact that I kept looking around for a certain green-eyed boy. Occasional smiles and acknowledging nods here and there. You know the normal stuff.
I sighed for the ninth time in the last fifteen minutes. Tyson was not here at school today and I was already feeling bored out of my mind and it was just the first hour here. It's not even that I would have spent all my time with him if he was here. We never talked except for in History class. He has now made the seat beside mine permanently his for the semester. Whenever when him or Nate smile or nod at me, my friend would look at me shocked. Seeing them interact with anyone other than themselves was a new thing for everyone at school. But today I was feeling very empty. Where has he gone? Not even Nate is here today. I should have asked for their number before.
I had been sulking mentally for whole morning now and it's already lunch. We are at the cafeteria and I am just sitting on our table. Soon everyone started to talk.
"Hey Vic, where is your lunch?"
"I am not hungry Peter." Have I said this before that we call Taylor Peter? No. OK, now you know. Actually his last name is Peterson so we call him Peter.
Loud, collective gasps could be heard and I think Kael even dropped the apple that was in his hand.
"OMG I never thought I would ever live to hear you say that you are not hungry. Are you ok Vic?"
I just stared at Ky unable to answer. It was right, I never said no to food. I was always hungry. As if reading my mind, Maddy spoke, "Are you not feeling well Vic because you never say no to food. You are always hungry."
"Well today is an exception." Just then I heard the voice I was dying to hear all morning.
"Hey Coco, this is for you. Uh... Maria said that it was your favorite." There he was standing, looking handsome as ever, extending his hand to give me a box of my favorite Oreo Cake. It was Maria's special and I loved it to bits. A wide smile spread on my face as I took the box from his hand.
"Thank you Ty. God, this is the best thing ever created by any human being." I said looking at the piece of cake lovingly. Then I looked towards Ty again and asked, "Were you not at school this morning Ty? I did not see you today nor did I see Nate."
"Yes we just arrived, Nate is getting lunch now. We had some work this morning so we are late."
Meanwhile Nate was also making his way towards us with his lunch.
"Hey Vic. Did you like the cake?"
"Hi Nate. Yes I liked it. Thank you both of you. Please join us, lunch time will be over soon."
"Is it ok for us to sit here? I mean we would not like to create any inconvenience for all of you."
"Why won't it be ok with us?"
"Haven't you seen how everyone look at us and how they run away from us as if we had murdered their family? No one in this school has ever tried to sit with us."
"That's right Coco, you are actually the first one to talk to us."
"Well that's gonna change now. You will sit with us and I'll introduce you to my friends." I ushered them to sit with us and both of them compiled. Ty sat to my left and Nate sat to my right.
"So these are my friends. This one is Kylee as in Ky and next to her is Maddy or Maddison. Next to Maddy is Taylor but we call him Peter and the one next to Ky is K I mean Kael. He is Ky's twin."
"Guys this is Tyson and Nathan or as they prefer Ty and Nate."
Everyone said their hi and hellos but I could feel their nervousness. Then I saw Cal and called him to our table.
As I called him, I felt Nate stiffen beside me but ignored it. Caleb made his way towards us and I could see him surprised by the boys' presence.
"Boys as you know this is my brother Caleb and Cal this is Tyson and Nate."
"Uh... h-hi Caleb." Nate said.
"Hey Caleb."
"Hi. Umm... Vic.. is that the Oreo cake?? You went to Maria's and did not bring me my pastry? That's rude." Caleb pouted and I laughed at his expression.
"No I did not go to Maria's, Cal. Ty and Nate brought it for me. I'll bring yours after practice. Is it ok baby brother??"
He glared at me and huffed. "Fine but I am not your baby brother. I am just younger by two and a half minutes. We are twins, remember?"
"Yes I do remember but you are still younger than me bro."
"Whatever. I'll see you later. Bye everyone."
"So where is your lunch Coco?"
"I was not hungry then so did not get lunch but its ok now i have the cake and I must tell you it is awesome."
"Glad that you liked it. Here you can also share my lunch."
"Can I? I mean won't it be less for you then? I added quickly to cover up my slip up. He just laughed and pushed his tray towards me. I thanked him and ate the sandwich from the tray. Soon Lunch ended and we went our separate ways except Ty and I. We entered the History class together and sat on our chairs.
The teacher entered the classroom and started the lesson. "Alright class you have to submit a project about World War II. Don't worry you will work with a partner. Your partner will be the person sitting next to you. You have to submit the project next month. Work hard and do good. This project consist of 25% of your finals' score." I turned towards Ty to talk about the project.
"So when shall we start the project?"
"Whenever you are free."
"How about today, after school at my house? If we start soon then we will have more time for various ideas and research."
"It's cool for me. Text me your address and I'll be there by 4."
"But I don't have your number."
"Here, give me your phone." He saved his number on my phone and returned it to me. I texted him my address and right then bell rang to indicate the end of the class.

I reached home at three fifteen and went to my room to get changed. After changing to the comfortable sweatshirt and sweatpants, I cleaned my room and went to the kitchen to fix some snacks for the study session. Soon it was four and the doorbell rang. I opened the door and let Ty enter the house. I lead him to my room and said him to stay there while I bring the snacks to munch on. I set the plates on the study table and motioned him to come and help himself. After finishing the food we started to work on our project. We researched some info. I worked on internet and Ty was searching on the book. We found many points and ideas to work on and got on to it. We worked on it for nearly two hours and we got tired. I looked at the time and realised that it was time to pick Cal up from his practice.
"Oh I had to go to school, Cal's practice is soon to be over."
"We still have a little to work on. Do you mind if Nate went to pick up Caleb? We could finish the work meanwhile and I will get back with Nate."
"But I don't want to trouble Nate. He might have some thing to do."
"No, he was about to pick me up from here anyway so its not a trouble."
"If you say so." He called Nate and asked him to bring Cal with him.
We completed the bit that we had separated for today and went to the living room to wait for Nate.
Doorbell rang and I opened the door to see Cal and Nate standing. I let them in and Cal went to his room and Nate went sat on the couch with Ty. I offered them OJ and both took the glass from the tray. After sometime they went to their house and I sat down the couch and started watching TV.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I have been noticing for the last few weeks that Cal has been behaving quite differently. I can feel his nervousness but do not ask anything. He has got fidgety and jumpy. I have started to get very worried now and I need to talk to him soon. With the determination, I knock Caleb's room door. He opened the door and let me in. I did not waste my time and directly jumped to the point.
"Cal, is there a problem? What has been troubling you. Please talk to me. I promise everything will be alright."
"Vic, why do you think that there is a problem?" He tried to act confused but I could see his nervousness. He could not meet my eyes and kept playing with the helm of his shirt.
"I am your twin bro, I can feel your emotions. Now please cut the crap and start talking."
"I don't know how to say this Vic. I don't think anyone would understand."
"I am not just anyone bro, I am your twin sister. I'll understand anything you say."
"Uh- The thing is, Vic, how to say this, Uh.. I-I think I am in-in L-Love."
"WHAT??"
"OMG when did this happen? Why didn't you say earlier?? Who is it?? Do I know h-?" I started firing him with questions as I could not contain my excitement only to be cut off by him.
"Wait a second Vic, one question at a time please."
"Oh sorry, I got carried away. So, when did it happen?"
"I don't know when. It started with a stupid crush only to intensify to something much stronger." I could see him blushing and the way he was talking, all the emotions were pouring out.
"Why didn't you say anything earlier?"
"I was trying to figure out everything. I was confused myself so there was not much I could talk about."
"So who is the lucky one? Anyone from school? Do I know him?"
"Yes he goes to our school and yes you know hi- Hold on!! H-How do you know that it-its a h-him?" He shutters, confusion evident in his face.
I smirked. "Cal, you are my twin, I know you better than anyone else. I always knew that it will be a him in your love story. So now who is he?"
"How did you know that when even I figured it out not long ago. I had always tried to deny the attraction as I did not want to accept the fact that I had a crush on him. Any way there is no chance of us to be together. He is quite famous among the girls and I m sure he is not interested in guys."
I could see the sadness in his eyes as he tried to fight the tears. "You cannot tell that until he admits it himself. So now the main question, who is he?" The next thing he said surprised me.
"Its N-Nathan."
"Nate?" Shock was evedent in my voice.
"See, this is why I said that there is no chance. You know how girls swoon over him. He can never be interested in me. He is The Badboy of the school."
"You don't know that Cal. We never know and I promise I will find out if there is a chance for you or not."
"Leave it Vic, I don't want to get my hopes high."
"No, I won't leave it. You don't need to do anything bro. I will do all the work." I smile, satisfied with myself and started thinking about the plan to operate the mission.
Mission: Brother's Love Story.
