Thank you guys so much for giving this story a chance. It means a lot to me!
And now for Chapter two!
Disclaimer: I don't own Castle.
"Kate, you have a twin?!" Rick says to Kate as he turns back to her.
Addie walks up to Kate and a very shocked looking Rick. "Um yeah, why is that so shocking?" Addie says as she sizes up the stranger standing next to her sister.
"I, I just, um, It's just..." Rick stumbles upon his words as both girls look at him. "I just didn't expect for you to have a twin." Rick looked at Kate."And you girls are the same person! Just different fashion." Rick says as he turns to Addie and then back to Kate to see the different outfits.
"What? Is that a bad thing?" Kate turns to stare down Rick.
"No, um. It's not a bad thing at all. I just didn't expect it. That's all. You girls look just a like, well if you changed your clothes Kate. Since Addie looks more fashionable. and it shocked me."
Gosh Rick. That was low. Just shut your big mouth, Rick thinks to himself as Kate turns to see him with hurt in his eyes.
"Yeah, well you don't know me Rick." Kate says as the anger starts to build up inside her. "You better get to lunch. Don't want to be rushing to eat and then being late for your next class."
"Yeah Rick." Addie says with a small smile as she keeps her eye on Rick.
"Yeah, okay. And, sorry again for knocking you over." Rick tells Kate.
Kate nods and takes Addie by the hand, leading her out of the office. Leaving a very dumb stuck Rick.
Rick did not expect that. Didn't have any clue. He had only known Kate for one class period and she already blew him away with her looks. She was the most breathtaking girl he had ever seen in his whole life. He had a number of girl friends in his past and they were all very pretty but Kate, she was just.. perfect and to see her twin was a shock. They look just the same, only Kate had curly hair and they dressed different.
Addie had the same chestnut long hair but instead of having Kate's curly hair, Addie had straight long hair.
You could tell that Addie was one of those popular girls that had everyone eating out of her hand. She dressed very different from Kate. Addie was dressed in a yellow tight, bright dress with red pumps. She had her hair all perfectly styled and her make up all done.
They looked alike but their personality was nothing close to being a like.
Rick just couldn't wait to get to know them.
This is going to be a great year.
"What the heck was that all about?" Addie says as Kate leads her out of the front door of school.
"What was what about?" Kate asks her sister.
"Just inside! That guy was hot! Why haven't I seen him here before? And why are we leaving school?"
"He's new." Kate says as she hands Addie the car keys. "You have to drive."
"Me? Drive?" Addie looks at her sister in shock. "You never let me drive! Why are we leaving school?"
"Just get in the car already and I'll tell you." Kate says frustration at her sister as they both get in the car.
"Okay, now tell me Katie." Addie says getting inpatient.
"Okay well, Rick is the new kid here and he was in my second block. After class I was going to lunch and I forgot my cell phone in my locker. I was rushing back to get it and as I came around the corner, I ran in to Rick and hit my head on the wall next to me. He walked me to the office to get checked out since I had a headache. And that's when you came in. The nurse said I shouldn't drive because I hit the wall pretty hard so that's where you come in. So drive."
"He's the new kid? Gosh. He is so hot! I would have loved to run in to him." Addie smiles while she pulls out of the parking lot while Kate rolls her eyes.
"Gosh Addie! Is that all you care about? Is boys? And by the way, I'm fine thanks for asking." Kate gives her sister a look.
"Hey! I care about other things!"
"Like what? I can make a list for you. Lets see, boys, clothes, party's, cheering, boys, boys, clothes, party's oh and did I mention boys?" Kate turns to her sister as she stops at a red light.
"Well it's okay to care about some of those things Katie, unlike someone who I know." Addie states as she gives Kate a funny look.
"Yeah well, I care about school, good grades, and getting in to a good college."
"And that's okay but Katie, this year you have been throwing your self at school and yeah, schools great and all but all you do is 'school'. Just take a little break. When's the last time you have been out with your friends?"
"I go out with my friends."
"Yeah not very much." Addie says and rolls her eyes as Kate just looks ahead to the road. "What about Rick?"
"What about him?" Kate turns from the passenger seat to look at Addie.
"You were so rude to him! He said he was sorry and all you do is nod and walk away."
"Addie, I wasn't being rude. I hardly even know the guy."
"'When you said, 'Yeah well, you don't know me', wasn't being rude?" Addie says as she pulls in to the Beckett house drive way.
"He pretty much was checking you out the whole time. He couldn't even talk! And he kind of made fun of my clothes."
"No, he didn't! All he was saying is that we have different clothes and were just, different. Besides, you should give him a chance." Addie turns the car off and looks at Kate.
"What do you mean give him a chance? I just met him not even an hour ago. Besides, you're the one who said he was hot. You go for him."
"Katie, I was wasn't the one he was looking at." Addie says as she grabs her bag from the back seat.
"Yeah well he would probably be with me for not even two weeks, get old of me and then go for you."
"What's that supposed to mean, Katie?" Addie gives Kate a hurt look.
"It's supposed to mean what I said. Everyone knows that you're the twin that always gets the guys." Kate says as she opens the door and jumps out. It was true. Even thought Kate and Addie were twins, Addie always got the guys handed to her because the way she dressed, acted and of course, since she was the head cheerleader.
Addie opens the car door and rushes to catch up to Kate. "Katie, wait." Kate turns around as she steps on to the front porch. "I don't get all the guys. You just don't give them a chance. You don't know how many guys look at you when you come walking in to school. Katie I know that's it's hard and all and what happened last year..."
"Can you just drop it?" Kate cuts off Addie. "Please?"
"Yeah whatever." Addie lets out a sign.
"Thanks." Kate says to her sister and walks in the front door.
"Girls! What are you doing here?" Johanna says when she sees her two girls walk in the front door and in to the living room.
"Katie ran in to this new, hot guy named Rick at school and she fell and hit her head so the nurse thought Katie should come home and get some rest. I drove." Addie smiles, happy that she got to drive, for once.
"Oh Katie! Are you okay?" Johanna rushes to Kate and puts a hand on Kate's head to look at it.
"Yeah I'm fine, thanks." Kate says and backs away from her mom. "Why aren't you at work?"
"I had to come home to grab a file I forgot here. Did the school nurse check you out, Katie?" Johanna looks to Kate and then to Addie.
"Yes. She said I should be fine. I should just get some rest. She didn't want me at school since I had a headache."
"So no concussion right?" Johanna says getting worried about Kate's headache.
"No mom, I'm fine. I'm going to go upstairs and take a nap, then start on my homework. I'll have make up homework so I don't want to be behind."
"Okay sweetie." Johanna says as she bushes a lock of hair out of Kate's face. "Take some Ibuprofen before you go to sleep."
"Okay." Kate states and heads up to her bedroom.
"Always doing her school work." Addie rolls her eyes and heads for the kitchen to get a bottle of water.
"You know Addie, you should be happy your sister is doing good in school. She could have chosen to just drop out of school after everything from last year. " Johanna tells Addie. She did think that her Katie worked her self a little too hard and could use a break in school but she's happy she didn't go in the other direction.
"Yeah I am happy but Kate needs to stop throwing her self in school all the time. She has no time for her friends and she's always staying up late studying or something. She doesn't even go out on the weekends anymore." Addie takes a seat at the kitchen counter as her mom grabs the file she came home to get and puts it in her bag.
"Yes, I get that. Katie does spend a lot of time on school but you know Katie, she really wants to get in to a good college and she's top of the class."
"Yeah but Katie never used to be this way. Yeah, she focused on school but she used to be more free. She went out with her friends more. Laughed more. She spent more time with me. Now, all we do is get in to an argument like we did today." Addie looks at her mom with sad eyes.
"I know sweetie. But we all know things have changed and we just need to work though them." Johanna looks at Addie and grabs her hand. "What did you girls argue about?"
"Rick." Johanna gives her daughter a weird look. "The new guy. The guy that ran in to Kate was kind of shocked that Kate had a twin and he said we looked just a like other than Katie and I's fashion and Katie kind of took it wrong, saying that I get all the guys because I dress better then her and I'm head cheerleader. It's not my fault that I dress the way I dress. I have always loved to dress up and Katie knows that. Heck, she used to be just like me before..." Addie trails off.
"Before last year, I know." Johanna gives Addie a comforting look. "But Addie, Katie's not that person anymore."
"I know. I guess I was just used to the old Katie, that's all."
"I know dear. Look, I have to get back to work and help your dad on this case but we should be home around dinner time. Make sure Katie doesn't do too much when she wakes up. I don't know how bad she hit her head, Okay?"
"Okay mom. I'll see you tonight." Addie watches as her mother kisses her forehead.
"Love you, see you tonight."
"Love you too." Addie tells her mom before she walks out the door.
Kate woke up to the sound of her phone alarm . Ugh, Kate thought. She only was asleep for four hours and she still felt like crap and now she has to get up and start on school work. First lets check Facebook.
Kate gets up and walks over to her laptop that was sitting on her desk across from her bed. She loaded up Facebook and, Huh.
'"Friend Request from Rick Rodgers."
Should she confirm it? Or not?
I mean, she just met the guy not even 4 hours ago and now he wants to be her friend? Well, when you really think about it, being a Facebook friend isn't really a big deal. Is it?
Confirm?
Or
Delete.
Confirm.
Kate hits the confirm button. It wouldn't hurt anything. Kate stays on for ten more minutes and is ready to get off to start school work when she gets a message.
Oh.
From him!
Rick: "Hey Kate."
Oh gosh. Should she message back? No she shouldn't. "Kate, get off and do your school work." Kate tells her self." But, he can see that she read it. Can't he? No, don't message back. Just get off and forget what happened with Rick today, you don't even know him. Kate thinks to her self. But you can't really get to know some one if you don't talk to them.
No, no no no no.
He will just make you fall for him than break your heart.
Kate logs off and walks to her bed and flops down on the bed. You did the right thing. Kate thinks to her self.
She lays there for a little while but she just can't take it anymore. She stands up and runs to her laptop and opens Facebook again. It won't hurt anything.
Kate: "Hi."
Hi? Really. Hi is all you say? No one says hi anymore Kate. Why didn't you just say 'Hey!' like normal people? Kate thinks to her self. But she gets a reply.
Rick: "How are you feeling?"
Kate: "A little better. I just woke up from a four hour nap."
Rick: "That's good. I'm sorry. It's all my fault that you have to go home."
Kate: "No, It's fine. I shouldn't have ran."
Rick: "I think we have learned our lesson. ;)"
Kate didn't message back for a while. Did he just put a wink face?
Kate: "Yeah, I guess. But I'm sorry I snapped at you."
Rick: "You didn't snap at me. And besides, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. I'm the one who shouldn't have even said anything about you and your sister's fashion."
Kate: "Well I guess were even."
Rick: "Yeah so, can we just start over?"
Kate: "Start over?"
Rick: "Yeah, well we really didn't have a good start when we ran over each other today. So let's start over. I'm Rick."
Kate: "Hey, I'm Kate."
Rick: "It's nice to meet you Kate. :)"
Kate: "And it was nice to meet you too."
Rick: "So, I'll see you tomorrow?"
Kate: "Yeah, see you tomorrow."
Kate walks and grabs her bag off of the floor next to her bed, walks back to the laptop and sits down. Rick never messaged back so Kate guessed he got off until an hour later she got a message back.
Rick: "By the way, you looked breathtaking in that purple shirt and skinny jeans today. It's good on you. That was the idiot talking in me today when I was talking about you and Addie's fashion"
Kate's breath hitched.
She has never been called breathtaking before.
