Have you guys forgotten about Danny? Lol I've biased you all towards Tom, haven't I? Because he's too perfect! noo now he's a Gary-Stu! oh well, I need to give him some flaws :/ hmmm, I apologize in advance for an epically short chapter, because I really don't have any new ideas! Tasukete! Help!

Tim's POV

I feel thoroughly accomplished today! Not only did I cause someone to get knocked out, I got to spend some quality time with Patricia! Well, sort of. It was really fun to watch Jerome get knocked out, at least! I need to find a way to get Patricia alone!

"Patricia, I need to talk to you!" I said, walking over to her during break.

"Oh, do you have another idea for a prank?" she asked excitedly

"Er, no, not quite, I just need to talk to you. In private." I shepherded her over to a tiny alcove so I could tell her what I needed to.

"Patricia, I- I really like you," I told her quietly. This was honestly my first time doing this, because all the other times I've dated girls, they asked me out and I said yes because I didn't want to be mean, or I thought they were cute, or some other reason that wasn't truly genuine. This was genuine. That's not how it started off, but it is now.

Patricia just stared at me for a moment, then burst out laughing, a cruel, mean laugh that tore my heart to shreds, ate it, then spit it back out and stomped on it. She didn't even say a word. Then she left.

The bell rang and I stood there for a second, absentmindedly thinking how I always thought that the bell was the cruelest sound I'd ever heard, unless it was freeing us from school. Now, it was nothing compared to that laugh. I sighed and trudged pointlessly off to class.

I sat down alone near the front of the room. I didn't even try to make up an excuse for why I had been late.

Tom slid into the seat next to me, looking concerned.

"Where did you come from?" I asked snappishly.

"Over there," My brother said, looking confused and gesturing behind us to the seat he had just left, where Sydney was still sitting. She waved at us happily.

"What's wrong?" Tom asked me.

"Nothing," I mumbled.

"Tim, I'm you're twin brother, I know when something's wrong with you, and now there is something wrong!"

"You two, up front, stop talking!" the teacher snapped. Normally, I would have done something about it, but today, I didn't do a thing. I just sat there and twiddled my thumbs. Tom, however, was glaring at the teacher.

"Don't give me that look, Timothy!"

"I'm Thomas, get it right, and there's something up with my brother, so how about you stop talking so I can figure out what's wrong?"

Woah, this was a rare moment, when Tom got like this. Too bad I wasn't enjoying it like I usually would have.

The teacher looked shocked for a second, then, in an attempt to regain the upper hand, barked "DETENTION!"

Tom just gave her another dirty look, took my hand, stood up, and strode out of the classroom, the teacher gaping open-mouthed after us.

"Timmy, what's wrong?" Tom never calls me Timmy unless he either wants something from me, which, like never happens, or he's concerned about me. Him using that name for me made me want to start crying like a teenaged girl who just got rejected. Oh wait, that's close enough to the truth! … Except I'm a boy.

"I-it's just that…" I couldn't finish that sentence, I just couldn't! Why am I such a baby?

Tom gave me a look, prompting me to go on, and I remembered who I was talking to. My twin brother, my hero, my confidante, my best freaking friend in the entire freaking world. I can tell him anything.

"I-I told Patricia that I liked her, a-and she just laughed in my face and walked away!" God, I sounded so stupid, no matter who I was telling this to.

Tom twitched, "That's what this is about? A girl? I got detention because you were having girl trouble? Tim, you've never had issues with being rejected before!"

"That's because I never actually asked them out! They've always asked me out! And the first time I actually try to tell a girl I like her she laughs at me and leaves! Is that not grounds to be upset?"

Tom scratched his head, "Well, yeah, I guess so, just, odd."

"Why is it odd?"

"It's odd because Patricia was asking me about you yesterday, and she was acting all embarrassed and stuff, and it really seemed like she had a crush on you."

I blinked, "You don't have to make crap up like that just to make me feel better," I muttered.

"It's true; I'm not just making things up, that actually happened!"

"Yeah? Then why'd she laugh in my face!"

"Maybe she was just embarrassed, did you think of that?"

"Well, no, but-"

"Maybe you should ask her?" Tom prompted, raising his eyebrows at me.

"… Yeah, I guess you're right. Dammit, why are you always right?"

"That's just the way it works, Tim. The more mature twin is the one who's usually right."

"H-hey, are you calling me immature?"

Tom just smiled at me, and patted me on the head like a good little toddler. I was half expecting him to give me a cookie, which would have made everything awesome.

Patricia's POV

T-that was a joke, right? He was just playing with me. Isn't that what he does? But no, it did seem genuine. Crap, what have I done? Now he'll never even joke about liking me! Is he mad or what? Was he glad that I laughed, like, was he forced to do something like that? But it sounded so serious, so, to put it frankly, Tom-ish. But it wasn't Tom, it was obviously Tim. They look alike, but they're more different than one can imagine! It had to be Tim, it was Tim, but he didn't act like himself. Maybe a side of him we've never seen before?

Ugh! I should have asked Tom about this yesterday when I was questioning him about Tim already! Sigh, I'm just not myself right now. Tim is screwing with my head and he's not even here right now! I wish that I was in his class this period, so that I could know what he was thinking about my stupid accidental rejection. Was he crushed or did he not even give a crap? Why are boys so complicated to figure out?

This conflict must unfortunately be solved next chapter because I'm super tired and it's like 3:30 am, so I'm gonna go sleep. It was longer than I expected, over 2 pages on word! :D there's a poll on my profile about my OC's, so check that out and vote, because I want to know! Also, how do you imagine the twins? I can't decide what their coloring should be so like their hair and eye colors, hopefully the same please because they are identical! REVIEW and maybe answer that Q because it would be a great help!
