The Future Trap
Chapter 6

A/N Sorry for the really late update. I have had major writer's block and I am have been busy with work and drama. I hope you enjoy the chapter.

James's POV
"I can't believe you sent us to the isolation cabin!"

I was yelling at my rival after his prank on our cabin backfired and got the camp counselers instead of us. So, we get to spend the rest of camp in here, a long six weeks, that's 42 days! This is going to be torture. There is no way we have anything in common.

"Oh really, mate? It's my fault? I tried to stop the counselors from coming into YOUR cabin. YOU insisted they come in after I told them not to because I knew what was going to happen and you still told them to come in. So it's your fault that we are in here. Now we are stuck in here. If you don't mind, I am going to go get me some pizza."

But before he could, the dean of the camp entered. "Ah, well, what do we have here? Where do you think you are going? Well, if your roommate wants to go with you then you can, but if not you can't. That is the rule for the isolation cabin. The point is to turn enemies into friends. You could even say they end up like siblings. So, I wish you both good luck and I look forward to see your growth of friendship."

As he left, I couldn't help but bust up laughing. "Yeah, right. We are going to be so close that it's going to be like we are brothers." That joke made my day.

Alex's POV
REALLY! I can't get a pizza if he doesn't go with me? What is this, preschool?

"How on earth are we going to get so close if we can't even agree on going to get a pizza?

"So, please, can we get a pizza? I am hungry!"

James rolled his eyes and uttered a resigned, "Fine."

It was really weird as we were eating our pizza; it was like I was looking in a mirror. I would fold my pizza in half and start in from the crust.

"Ok. Stop copying me. It's really creeping me out."

"I am not coping you; you're coping me. I have been doing this since I was little. My mom said I get this from my dad. So, you stop coping me."

I looked at him and started to study him. It's very weird how much he is like me. As I was studying him, I got the strangest feeling about him.

"Hey, mate, question for you. What is your dad like? I know it's a weird, but I am just curious."

He looked at me confused and then he got sad.

"Well, you see, it's just my mom and me. My parents separated when I was like one or younger. What's it like having two parents? I bet it is awesome."

"Actually, it's just Dad and me. My dad said him and my mum got a divorce before I could even walk, but I know she is very beautiful, or he just fancies this news lady that lives in, um, I think it's Porkfield."

He looked at me confused and like I was crazy.

"I have never heard of 'Porkfield,' but I live in Pickford, and my mom is the local news lady."

Ok this is really freaky. We have so much in common. Actually, we have too much in common. It's kinda creepy.

"You know this is really freaking me out. We have way too much in common."

"Can you read minds, too, 'cause I was thinking the same thing."

"Hey, how old are you?"

"I'll be twelve on February 14th."

"Ok, just stop. You are freaking me out. I'll be twelve on Valentine's Day, too."

James's POV
I must be getting punked 'cause this is freaking me out. We have too much in common. Now we have the same birthday and we are the same age? This can not be a coincidence.

"Hey, man, do you have a picture of your parents? I just have a torn wrinkled picture of my dad."

"I only have a picture of my mom and it's torn right down the middle. Uh … mate … could you please stop pulling my leg. It's freaking me out … wait, did my Aunt Pim put you up to this? 'Cause you know way too much about my life."

I nearly choked on my apple juice, "YOU HAVE AN AUNT PIM, TOO! I mean, I have never met mine before. She is on my dad side, so of course I never met her. My mom said that's where I get my pranks from."

"Wow. So, my Aunt Pim is on my dad's side, too, and I also got my pranks from her. I think my dad is too innocent for pranks and he hoped I wouldn't end up like her, but I so did."

"Ok. Can we recap? You have a dad, but no mom. I have a mom, but no dad. Our birthdays are both on V-Day. We each have an Aunt Pim on our dad's side of the family, but you have never met yours."

"You know, this is not seeming like a coincidence anymore. It's more like fate. Alex, I think we are brothers."

"No, James. We are more than brothers. We are twins."
