Subject: The Wrong Twin Chapter 8

Introduction: So this is my first shot at writing fiction. I have been
reading the stories on Nifty for quite a while and decided that I would
finally try to do one myself. I know I know I am definitely an idealist
when it comes to some of the details of this story, but I hope you enjoy
this!

I will also warn you that this story will develop kinda slowly, as I hate
stories that are so predictable. I will try not to give away the whole plot
in the earlier chapters.

If you are looking for a quick jerk off, this is not the story for you.
Sorry, I know the feeling searching for them ;). Please feel free to send
me an email and let me know what you think of the story. As usual, if you
are under the legal age to read this sort of material or it is illegal to
do so in the region you live in, please hit the red ?x? in the top right
corner of your screen now. I retain all creative rights to this story. Any
reference to people of the same name is purely coincidental.

This is all fiction, minus the cities and the celebrities.

Special thanks to my best friend Kai for reading each chapter over and
making sure it doesn't suck too badly. I love you! I don't know what I
would do without you!

fantastic website up and running. I am truly appreciative of this website

The Wrong Twin - Chapter Eight: Things Have Changed

*Written from Isaac's Perspective*

I just made it out of the gym and into the locker room when I felt the
first tear fall. "What the fuck Isaac? Seriously? You haven't cried in
years! And here you are crying over some fucking guy? You're not even gay!"
I thought to myself as I sat down on the curb outside the auditorium, not
even concerned that my Armani suit could get dirty. I only had one thing on
my mind, that stupid blonde boy inside the building kissing Jordan. I could
feel my emotions starting to get the best of me.

I composed myself very quickly, however. I really don't like to cry or show
much emotion in general, unless I am out on the ice. Then it's
different. But anyways, I am very glad that I did stop myself from crying
any more than a tear or two, because Mackenzie just burst through the door
looking completely pissed. I'm pretty sure I could see steam coming out of
her ears. I knew I was fucked.

"Isaac James Taylor what the fuck was that about?!?!?!" Mackenzie screamed
at me. I was very thankful that the only other people outside were a few
school police officers that were making sure no one was doing anything they
shouldn't be.

"Chill out Kenz..." I replied calmly.

"Don't fucking tell me to chill out Isaac. You just walked out on me on a
slow dance!! I mean seriously what the hell? I know we aren't dating or
anything but you just don't do that to a girl!

Were you like, getting feelings for me or something?' Mackenzie asked in a
raised voice.

Now I was stuck in a predicament. What the hell was I supposed to do now?
Tell her the truth or lie and tell her that I have feelings for her. Talk
about being stuck between a rock and a hard place! I decided one option
would probably be easier than the other and went with it...

"Mackenzie, I will tell you why I walked out, but you have to promise me
that you won't tell anyone a word of what I am about to tell you, I will be
so upset you will regret the day we ever met," I threatened. "Got it?"

"Holy shit Isaac you are scaring me now. But you know me, I won't tell a
soul," she promised.

"OK well here it goes. So umm do you remember me telling you about the new
set of twins that moved in at the beginning of the year?"

"Yeah, what about them?"

"Well I really wanted to date Annie. I mean she is kinda perfect for
me. She likes hockey, she is a blonde, tall, reasonably smart, and
incredibly hot. So what's not to like? Except for the fact that she won't
date me for some unknown reason. But I thought that it would be a great
idea to try and befriend her brother Kayden as a way to get close to
Annie. Turns out Kayde and I have a lot in common. We actually played
hockey for the team together, and kicked some serious ass on the same
line. But then something happened. Something that I am still trying to
figure out."

I paused to gather my thoughts. I couldn't believe I was about to tell
someone about the kiss between Kayden and I. I wasn't even sure how I felt
about it, but here I was about to tell someone else about my feelings. Shit
is there still time to bail on this? Come on I gotta make something up real
quick!!! But what?

"Well?!?!?!" Mackenzie prodded. I couldn't think of anything to say. Here
goes nothing...

"Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I had everyone over to watch a movie, and
then the guys slept over. Since my parents were out of town, everyone went
over to Dylan's house because Mrs. Davis offered to cook us all
breakfast. So anyways the two of us were the last ones asleep. When we woke
up we ended up like wrestling a little bit; he ended up on top. Then, out
of nowhere, he leaned down and kissed me!" I explain. Mackenzie audibly
gasped. The look of shock on her face was similar to what mine was when he
kissed me. I gave her a minute to process what I just told her.

"Well is he gay?" she inquired.

"Umm yeah he just came out recently," I responded.

"Ahhh so that's why you don't like him. I must say I am surprised that
you're homophobic, Isaac. I figured..."

 I cut her off right there. "I'm not a homophobe! Jeez why does everyone
assume I hate gay people? I never even say anything about them!"

I could see her wheels turning in her head. I could tell she figured out
something wasn't adding up. "So wait a minute, if you don't mind that he is
gay then what is it?" she asked.

"Well the thing is, I haven't been able to get the fucking kiss out of my
head," I admitted.

"What does that mean? Are you that freaked out by the kiss? I mean dude I
know it was another guy who kissed you but it's just a kiss!" Mackenzie
exclaimed.

"No it's not the kiss; well I mean it is the kiss. But not the fact that he
did kiss me. The thing is...if he would have kept kissing me, I would have
started to kiss him back," I explained.

"Wait so you liked the kiss?! WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT?!?!" she yelled.

"I know! I can't stop thinking about Kayden! Like I think I might have
feelings for him."

I can only imagine how small I looked at the time. I felt really small. I
couldn't believe I admitted that out loud. Mackenzie must have been able to
sense my vulnerability. She sat down next to me on the curb and draped her
arm around my shoulders and gently stroked me.

"So what makes you think that you like him?"

"I don't know Kenz. I have looked at it objectively and came up with a few
reasons. First off, we have so much in common. We dress similarly, we love
hockey, hell we even order the same drinks at Starbucks! Plus we have some
good chemistry between us, not to mention our ridiculous knack for finding
each other on the ice. Also, when I first saw him, I actually admitted to
myself that he was attractive. I have those butterflies inside when I think
about him. I feel like I do when I have a crush on some girl. I think I
have a crush on Kayden. I think I have a crush on a boy."

"Well Isaac, I think you might just be right about that. So why don't you
just tell him that you like him?" Kenz asked.

This was the painful part. I really didn't want to have to talk about
this. But I knew Kenz wouldn't let this go, so I just decided to lay it all
out there.

"Well Mackenzie, first off, Kayde refuses to talk to me. He hasn't talked
to me since he kissed me. I have tried to tell him that it's not that big
of a deal and that I'd like to sit down and talk about it, but he just
blows me off every time," I said.

"Just force him to talk! Don't give him a choice!"

"To be honest, this is the first time I have really considered the fact
that I have feelings for him,"

I admitted.

"Now that you know, why don't you just go in there and tell him? I am
assuming he is in there and you saw him and that's why you walked out here,
right?" Mackenzie inquired.

"Yeahhh he is in there, but that's the other thing," I explained. "I saw
him kissing another boy.

That's why I walked out. I could feel myself becoming extremely jealous. I
couldn't help but remember the feeling of Kayden's soft lips on mine. It
was by far the most sensual kiss I have ever had in my entire life, and it
only lasted like not even a minute."

"Awe don't worry sweetie, if it's meant to be, it will happen I promise,"
Mackenzie said as we stood up to return to the dance. She wrapped her arms
around my waist and I enveloped her in a nice, deep hug. Just as I leaned
in and kissed her on the cheek, the door opened, and there stood Jordan and
Kayden.

"Oh well hello there Mackenzie, Isaac. How are you guys doing?" Jordan
asked.

"Wait, you know Isaac and his date?" Kayden inquired.

"Ohhh yeah umm I met him over at the rink one day. His grandfather owns the
ice rink we play on. We had a nice workout together over the weekend," I
jumped in, afraid of what Jordan might reveal about our locker room
incident.

"Yepp. Not gonna lie, one of the best workouts I have had in a while!"
Jordan exclaimed. "Plus Mackenzie goes to Irvine Unified with me, we are in
the same trigonometry class together."

Fortunately the region we were standing in was dark enough that I am pretty
sure that no one but me caught the smirk on his face as he made the comment
about our adventure. I hope not at least.

"Well anyways, you better be going now Jordan. I don't want you to miss
your curfew," Kayden said.

"Yeah I gotta be home by 11:00. Stupid junior license! Nice to see both of
you," Jordan said as he walked towards the parking lot with
Kayden. Mackenzie and I nodded and said goodbye to him.

"Thanks so much for coming on short notice with me to the dance. I had so
much fun!" I overheard Kayden tell Jordan.

"I am so glad I came too! You, sir, are a fantastic kisser! I can't wait to
go to the movies with you on Tuesday night," Jordan responded.

As I opened the door to let Mackenzie and me in, I turned and saw Jordan
lean in for a goodbye kiss. Naturally, Kayden met him halfway and returned
the kiss. The look on Kayden's face told it all, he was falling for
Jordan. I knew this wasn't going to be easy...


NOTE: The remaining part of this chapter will be written from Kayden's
perspective.

*Tuesday Afternoon Before The Dance* Ohhh Kayden what have you got yourself
into? I cannot believe I just came out to the GSA. I mean I know it's a
"safe" environment and all, but it's still nerve racking. Plus, let's face
it, this is high school after all. I guarantee that everyone in school will
know I am gay by tomorrow. I guess it's not that big of a deal, I wanted to
make sure I came out on my own terms. I didn't want to be forced out in
case Isaac accidentally or purposely slipped up and told anyone I kissed
him.

But after the meeting I had to go to the rink to see if I could find my one
shin pad. I thought I left it there after practice on Monday night. I was
hoping that it was still there. I mean, it's not as expensive as like a
stick or something, but I didn't want to have to tell my parents that I
lost something.

When I got to the rink, I explained to the person at the front desk that I
was just looking for lost equipment and they let me in without any
problem. In fact, she directed me to the place they put miscellaneous
equipment they find when cleaning the rink at night. Fortunately for me, I
found my shin guard near the top of the pile of gear.

On my way out of the rink, I saw an absolutely stunning boy standing there
talking to the girl at the front desk. I couldn't even resist talking to
him. Hell, I was out of the closet, what did I have to lose?

"Hey thanks again for helping me out!" I told the girl. "I found my gear."

"Oh that is great news!" she replied.

The boy looked up at me and we locked eyes. He must have sensed exactly
what I did, because he opened his mouth to talk to me.

"Hey there, my name is Jordan," the cutie said as he extended his right
hand.

"Kayden," I replied as I took his hand and shook it. He had a nice firm
grasp. I like that in a guy.

"So Mr. Kayden what brings you to the rink?"

"I play hockey for Orange Unified. My dumb ass forgot my shin pad here last
night and I just stopped by to pick it up," I explained. "What about you?"

"Ohhh just in need of a new stick actually. I broke mine last night messing
around in my garage.

Talk about a dumbass huh?" Jordan said with a laugh. I couldn't help but
laugh too. He had such a sexy laugh. It was definitely a turn on.

"Well that makes me feel better about my blunder!" I joked.

"Good I am glad! You're too cute to feel like a dumbass. I'm sure you're
really smart too!"

Whoa did he just call me cute?! I did not see that coming! Maybe he is
gay?! No way! Hot guys like this are never gay! Hell look how wrong I was
about Isaac. No, Kayden don't think about him. Everyone misjudges people. I
think he might be gay though. I mean who randomly calls another guy they
just met cute? I am going to find out though!

"Hahaha well thanks I appreciate it! Are you busy right now?" I inquired.

"Not really no," Jordan replied.

"Cool, hey do you want to maybe grab a cup of coffee now? My treat!" I
ask. He looks at his phone quickly. I hope to God I am not misreading him.

"Yeah, I think I have some time! Starbucks?"

And so off we went to Starbucks. Despite my protests, Jordan refused to
allow me to pay for his drink. I felt obligated to do so since I invited
him. But he, of course, had none of it. In fact, he wanted to pay for my
drink. So we just agreed to buy our own drinks.

We sat down in a little private corner in the coffee shop. I ordered my
signature Coffee and Vanilla Frappuccino and Jordan had a Caramel Mocha
Frap. We made small talk about hockey and school at first. I told him about
how I just moved here from North Carolina and he told about his life here
in California. But I decided that I wanted things to move a little bit
faster.

"Alright Jordan, I have to ask the million dollar question. I hope I am
right. If I am wrong, please do not be offended but.."I began before Jordan
interrupted me.

"Yes Kayden, I already know what you are about to ask, and the answer is
yes. Are you too?"

"Yeah I am gay too. I just had that feeling that you were as well."

"Wait gay? You think I am gay? I thought you were going to ask me if I was
ready to leave!"

I could feel all the color drain from my face. I couldn't believe I misread
another guy! I thought for sure I had Jordan pegged. I was so concerned
that I was going to get my ass kicked in the middle of Starbucks.

"Hahahaha you should see the look on your face! I am totally kidding!! I am
gay, don't worry!"

Jordan laughed.

"FUCK YOU DUDE! Gahhh you had me so freaked out!" I yelled, probably too
loud for a public place. I got a look from two old women sitting near us. I
just put on my best puppy dog face and acted sorry.

"Hahahahaha sorry Kayden I couldn't resist!"

"Well I can think of just the way that you can make it up to me."

"Oh really, and what would that be?"

"I know this seems a little crazy, since we just met and all. No I am not
Carly Rae Jenson so don't even say it! But Jordan, would you come to my
school's homecoming with me this Saturday night? It's an equality dance and
I really don't know any other gay guys to ask. Plus I would like to get to
know you better," I explained. I could feel my stomach doing flips as I
waited for him to consider my proposal. I took a huge fucking risk. I could
really scare off a potential boyfriend here. Oh lord what was I thinking?

"Well, luckily for you I kinda like you. And I have nothing else to do on
Saturday night. So yes, Kayden, I will go to homecoming with you," Jordan
responded.

I was sooooo excited! I was definitely stunned that he said yes!!!
AHHHHH!!!! I kept myself composed externally, but I was jumping for joy
internally."

"Awesome!!! Thank you so much!" I exclaimed. I gave him my number and told
him I would buy the ticket and everything. He wouldn't even have to get
pictures since I had to set up everything with Annie, he would just have to
drive to the dance and...well be with me haha.

Speaking of Annie, she was extremely apprehensive when I told her what
transpired at Starbucks. She definitely was skeptical since she hadn't met
Jordan and it seemed too good to be true. I just told her to fuck off and
give him a chance.

The auditorium looked just spectacular! We put in so much time getting it
to be perfect. I felt bad because I had to ignore Isaac the entire time we
were decorating. Of course it just happened to work out that we were on the
same committee for the GSA. I still wasn't comfortable talking about the
kiss. I just decided to pretend it never happened and wait it out.

Eventually he would get over the fact that another boy kissed him. Until
then, it was best we didn't have any contact.

The actual dance itself was amazing! I shared my first kiss with Jordan on
the dance floor. I let him take the risk on this one as he leaned in and
his lips met mine during a slow dance. We experienced no hateful remarks or
anything during the dance, which kept the evening in a pleasant atmosphere.

The only awkward part of the night came when we interrupted Isaac and his
date kissing on Jordan's way out of the dance. I was very surprised to find
out that he and Isaac already knew each other. I caught a smirk on Jordan's
face when he confirmed how they knew each other. I wondered if there was
something behind that. I suppose I will have to bring that up to Jordan on
our date on Tuesday. We decided that since the dance went so well, we would
go out on a real date and see how things progressed. I think I may have
found myself a boyfriend. :)

So that is all for Chapter 8! I finally got time to upload this. I am all
moved in to my new house and it looks great! I have finals coming up soon
so I will be swamped until mid-December. Don't worry though, someone, not
going to say who, bitches regularly if I don't work on the chapter.

Then usually goes to sleep before he even reads it. Anyways let me know
what you think! I wish you a very Happy Holiday season. I know I have so
much to be thankful for, including the person who bitches constantly.
