Real Love Or, Fake Love?

Chapter6

Ryan

I walk into this place they call a mall. I look around and my eyes land on a girl eating ice cream. She looks up and she is very beautiful. She is looking at me like she wants to kill me. She stands up and walks over to me. She is short and has curves in all the right places. She starts going off on me and calling me Ryder. Who the f**k is Ryder? I cut her off and tell her my name is Ryan but she slaps me. Calls me a lyer. I don’t know this girls problem with me but I don’t like it. I cut her off to ask her what her name is.

“My name is Julie.” Her voice is sexy and her name is simple. I like it. She tells me to follow her so she can eat her ice cream before it melts all the way. I do just that and sit across from her.

“Julie, I have a question?” She looks up from her ice cream. With a look of do I have to answer?

“ Shoot. I’m willing to answer.”

She was willing to answer? Umm okay that’s weird.

“What happened with you and Ryder?” I can see the pain in her eyes right when I asked. She changed the subject.

“I’m sorry about earlier.”

I look at her. “I’m not.” I say and its very flirty. Maybe me and her could be friend and then maybe more then friends. She blushes when I say I’m not sorry. God she is beautiful. Ryder was stupid for breaking up with her. Well his loss can be someone else’s treasure. In the middle of our conversation someone pat me on the back. The kid asked us why we wasn’t at the party. I didn’t really know what to say so I looked at Julie and she answered for the both of us. “ No we left early.” She said. The guy just said okay and walked away. If you ask me that was a waist of time. For the record Julie I think Ryder is a i***t for leaving you. Julie responds by telling me everything that happened. She looks at me and says she is about to go home. I know I want her number but don’t know how to ask for it. I need to see her again.

“Hey can I have your number? Maybe we can hang out sometime?” I had to try. What surprised me though is she said yes and gave it to me. But to make sure that it was really her number I called it and she answered in front of me. I had a big smile on my face. I feel like this could be something good between us. Or at least a great friendship. Either way I cant wait to see what happens. I also cant wait for tomorrow to be at school to figure out who this Ryder kid is.

Tomorrow I might make tons of new friends. I was very popular at my other school. I was the wide receiver. I love playing football and it will get me into a great collage with that and my grades. I have a 4.0 GPA. I never did like the word popular I still don’t. To me everyone is the same and I want to be friends with everyone.

Finally Im home and in my bed and ready for tomorrow. I really cant wait to see Julie tomorrow. I fall fast asleep. The night went by fast before I knew it my alarm was going off at 6am. I take five minutes then finally wake up and get in the shower. I get dressed. I decided to wear blue jeans and a plain blue shirt. I head down stairs to talk to my mom and eat breakfast. Im going to be driving to school in my own car. I know it would be easier to just go with my mom but that would be weird. On the car ride over Im nervous.

My mom got my class schedule yesterday and im very glad when I look at it. I don’t have her class till the end of the day. I have reading second period cant wait for that I love to read. My first class starts in twenty minutes. Its music. I head there early so I can meet the teacher. Mrs. Green.

I walk in and say. “Hello!”

She looks up and says “hey Ryder.” There is that name again.

“I’m sorry my name is Ryan Cane. “ she looks like she wasn’t to say she is sorry.

“Cane? Ohh you’re the new teachers son? You look just like a kid that goes here.”

What do I say to that? I chose not to say anything. I go to sit in a seat that she says is free. I sit there by myself for a few minutes before Julie comes in the classroom. I walk over to her.

“Hey Julie!!” She looks so surprised. It’s a cute look for her. I guess if I was in her shoes I would be surprised to.

“Ryan?”

“You remembered me?” that’s cute. All though I want to know how she knew it was me and not her ex. Unless they don’t have this class together.

“Well duh I remembered you. We did meet yesterday.” Her response was a little mean.

“How did you know it was me?” Now im all in on finding out.

“Your voice is different then Ryders. Also, your face is a little different as well.” I wonder if she finds me cute? What is wrong with me? We just met and I look just like her ex.

Its time to get in our seats class is starting. Before we sit down I do find out we have reading class together. That’s great I get to see Julie twice in a row. I really need to stop thinking about her. I just met her. This class kind of goes by fast. Julie tells me to walk with her to her locker then with her to reading class. She starts talking on the way there.

“Not looking forward to this class.” She says it with a sad voice.

“Why is that?” I think I already know why but I want her to say it so I know I was right.

“My ex is in the class.” I wish I could make this easy for her but on the other hand I get to meet the guy.

“I can meet my “TWIN”?” I say this like question but I already know he is my twin my mom told me before we moved here. I don’t know how she knew but she didn’t tell me how. She just told me I had a twin and we was adopted to different families. This should be fun. I see we have something in common. Our taste in girls.

With that she walks away from me and into class. She sits in her seat. I sit in the one in front of her. She tells me that Ryder sits there. I ignore her. I have a strange urge to be as close as I can be to her. She will make a great friend or more. I turn to tell her something but I see her looking at the door and looking at a guy who looks just like me. He walks right up to her not looking at me. I don’t think he sees me. Then they talk.

“Julie, can we talk ? Please?” He sounds so broken. I want to feel sorry for him.

“No Ryder we cant. We are done.” Julie is a very strong person or she is pretending one of the two things.

“Please?” Begging is not a good look for him. I get why he would want to talk to her though. He messed up and wants to fix it. I don’t think there is anything to fix. I chose to step in.

“Dude she said NO.” He looks at me like who the f**k are you to tell me anything? Julie says something.

“Ryan I can handle this myself.” She looks like I pissed her off. I will have to remember not to jump into her fights. Or is this a argument?

“Who are you?” Ryder asks but not leaving Julies eyes. Im felling a little jealous.

“Ohh I’m Ryan. I’m new here.” Don’t really know why I added the last part.

“Well Ryan this has nothing to do with you this is between me and my girl.” I couldn’t help it I had to laugh. He really thinks the are still together? I don’t think he even has a chance of them being friends. Maybe it will take her to say that.

“I’m also your twin brother.” I thought that would have been harder to say. But it just came out. Him and Julie looked at me. Its Julie that speaks though.

“Wait you knew who I was talking about last night when I ran into you?” How should I answer this?

“No I didn’t know his name just that I had a twin that went here. My mom told me before we moved here.

Ryder says we aren’t done talking about this but we need to get ready for class to start and that I was in his seat. I don’t move. He looks to Julie like she will agree with him.

“Go sit down.” That’s all she says and I have to stifle a laugh. He looks so mad. I smile at Julie. She smiles back.

I still want to know why we was separated. I would have loved to be raised with my brother. I do know now that I have seen the way he looks at Julie we could never be more than just friends. I could never do that to him. I can tell he really does love her. I go to see my mom. I have to tell her I met him. So im walking there. Someone comes beside me. I look over and its Julie. What is she doing?

“Thank you for having my back in class. Ill see you around.” Yes she will. Ill make sure of it.

“Your good sweetheart. You will see me around. We have two classes together. I’m going to see my mom.” When I called her sweetheart I seen her cheeks turn a slight pink. I don’t know why I felt the need to tell her the last part of that. She walks past me to her locker. I couldn’t help my self I watched her walk with her hips swaying. It felt like she was putting on a show for me. I head to my moms classroom. When I arrive I walk in.

“Hey Mom.” She looks at me with a smile on her face.

“Hey honey. How is your day going?”

“I met him mom. He is a d**k. Nothing like the way I thought he would be.”

“Honey, you just met him. How do you know how he is already?” Because he messed with a girl im starting to like after only a day and a half of knowing her.

“I don’t know just the way he talks and carries himself. You can tell he was a spiled brat.”

“Okay honey you need to get to your next class. I don’t want you to late.”

With that I just turn and walk out of her classroom. I still cant believe I went my whole life without knowing I had a twin brother. I think he hates me. I wish I knew how to talk to him.
