My twin brother Matthew was always one of the brightest kids in high school. He gets straight A's, won science fairs, gets high honors, and is most loved by teachers.
But the thing is, he doesn't have a whole lot of friends. In fact, I might be his only friend. And that bear he carries around most of the time. Kumakichi? Kumatatsu? Whatever its name was Matt couldn't remember it either. Oh, and that creepy Russian kid, Ivan.
Anyway, he wasn't really noticed a lot. Around the hallways you'd hear different people talk about him.
"Hey, did you hear about that Matthew kid?" One kid would say.
"Who?" Another kid would say.
"Never heard of him,"
"Isn't he like a ghost that haunts the hallways or something?"
It's not that he was ugly or unfriendly or anything, he just didn't speak out a lot. Nothing really popped out that said he was exciting. He was just a simple kid who just tries to get through school without problems. It doesn't seem to bother him as much as it should.
But I'm completely different. I'm known as the class clown throughout school. I get F's and goofs off during class. I've been to detention so many times I should call it my second home. Teachers hate me and kids want to be around me. Maybe I'm just that awesome as everyone says.
But how do teachers expect me to do well in school when I'm always thinking about my adorable little brother? He's so perfect, even if he does call me an idiot every day; I still love him, more than I should. I have thoughts that I shouldn't have, but who could blame me?
I know he doesn't feel the same but I want him to find out sooner or later! Come to think of it, I did ask him one night if he had any feelings for anyone. He just blushed and said, "It's not important!"
That got me wondering, is it that Ivan kid? Nah. Or maybe it was our French teacher, Mr. Bonnefoy. It could be. Matt always blushed when he called on him. Well, I have to find out! I'm the hero after all! It's my duty to know these things! I'll just find out after school tomorrow! I'll just kind of follow him around and see what he does. This can't possibly to go wrong.
