Part One

"H-Hi, I'm Aaliyah, I'm looking for Chad Danforth." said a girl. She was my age, standing at the door. Looking for me. "U-Um, I'm Chad Danforth." I said. She smiled, "Oh...um, I don't know how to say this...but you are my twin brother." My mom and dad weren't here, so I let her in. It was raining so I had to let her in.

"What do you mean?" I asked. She wringed her hands. "Wait, Aaliyah? From school?" I asked. She nodded. Then the phone rang. I turned to her and said, "Okay...you stay here. It's probably Troy." She instantly sighed. "You're best friends with Troy?" she asked. I immediately realized, even if she didn't show it at school, she was in love with Troy Bolton. "Yep." I answered. I went to the phone. "Hello?" I asked.

Actually, it was mom.

"Sweetie, is Aaliyah at the house?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Look, someone took Aaliyah when you two were little, you guys were really close, but Aaliyah was taken away, then whoever took her moved. So we haven't been able to find her until now when Aaliyah tried to get a summer job and found out her birth certificate was phony and then she moved to Albuquerque and I thought she looked an awful lot like the police picture I had of her grown up.

"So while you slept, Chad, I took a saliva sample and Aaliyah came over and we took a saliva sample from her, and we sent it in and they came back positive. Aaliyah started going to school with us signing as her parents and stuff."

Then reality dawned on me. That's why Aaliyah was giving me weird looks when I flirted with her. "Mom! You should've told me earlier." I blurted. "Why?" mom asked. "Because. I...I flirted with her." I whispered. Mom laughed into the phone. I heard chuckling in the background. Dad knew. I blushed hard. "Well, you and your sister have lots of catching up to do." mom chuckled. "Actually, we became best friends fast and so she knows all about me." I explained. "Oh. nice." mom sighed. We said goodbyes then I hung up.

"Aaliyah, um, welcome home, I guess?" I began. Aaliyah giggled. "What? I'm new to this whole 'being an older brother' thing." I confessed. Aaliyah gasped, "You? Older? How can you be so sure?" I laughed, "I have to be older, I'm more mature." Aaliyah watched me walk off. Then she tackled me. "Take it back, Chad!" she hissed. My muffled voice answered, "Never!" Then the front door opened. Oh, I forgot, Troy and I were going to practice today. And Troy promised he'd come over. He NEVER broke promises. Or the key to my front door.

"Hey Chad, you will never believe what ha-" he began. He paused and stared at me and Aaliyah on the floor. "If I am interrupting something, then I'll just go wait outside." he said. I rolled my eyes, "No way, it's pouring out there." "Oh well then the kitchen is where I'll be." he began, heading to the kitchen.

"But I thought you vowed never to have sex until you got married." Troy called. Aaliyah's eyes got big. "IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK THIS IS...THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK THIS IS!" we both screamed. Troy peeked back in. "It isn't?" he asked, slowly. I rolled my eyes and pushed Aaliyah off of me. "That girl is my twin sister, who I have never seen until now, aka a couple days ago at school and just found out was my sister right before you came in." I said. Troy mouthed, 'Oh..."
