!ALYSSA'S POV!
I skipped into my house after the single most amazing moment of my life. Jake and I kissed...and we didn't even have to be dared to do it. I had an awesome time at the mall and couldn't wait to tell Audrey all about it. I walked in her room to find not only her, but Sarah too. I told them all about our date and then Audrey told me that Kevin came over. She told me everything she could possibly squeeze into the convo before I decided to go to sleep. I fell asleep thinking about Jake and woke up the next morning snuggling with my pillow. I put on my black mini skirt, pink tank top, and my pink and black Etnies, and went outside to meet Jake, Sarah, and Audrey to walk to school. After math, Jake and I were hanging out at my locker, when Audrey comes sprinting down the hallway waving a piece of paper and yelling my name. When she reached me she handed me the piece of paper that was a note...from Kevin. It read: Audrey, I was wondering if you would like to hang out after school...like a date. If yes, meet me at my locker after last period. Always, Kevin. I beamed. My twin's dream had come true. She could be happy now. I could relax. Finally...
!AUDREY'S POV!
When Alyssa came back inside she had a dreamy look on her face. I was excited to hear hat happened at the mall. Also, I wanted to tell her about Kevin. She walked into my room and told Sarah and me about the mall and then I told her about Kevin. But I couldn't stop... I kept going and going. After awhile Sarah went home and Alyssa went to bed. I had a hard time going to sleep though since I was so excited. The next day when we went to school, I felt like I had to be extra cute for Kevin or something. Alyssa helped me put on some make up and helped me pick out some nice clothes. I wore my long khaki jeans and a pink polo with the pink and white Etnies. She told me I should try something new with my hair so she helped me put it up in a ponytail. I guess it worked since during Math, Kevin gave me a piece of paper. I opened it and it said, "Audrey, I was wondering if you would like to hang out after school... like a date. If yes, meet me at my locker after last period." And what do you think I did? I told Alyssa! She was excited for me. Then I went to Kevin's locker. He smiled when he saw me. And we decided we would go to the arcade the next day after school. He asked me if he could sit with me at lunch and I said that perfectly fine! Life was starting turn bright!
!SARAH'S POV!
Are boyfriends a fad or something I'm not in on? I don't know what Kevin is getting at asking Audrey out or what. But if he hurts her... he's going to get a beating down. I hope this doesn't have anything to do with the revenge. Why did I say revenge in the first place? I should've said... I don't know, but not revenge! Why am I so stupid? I just shrugged the idea off and decided not to worry about it. I walked around the corner and saw Audrey at Kevin's locker and Alyssa at Jake's locker. This made me laugh a bit. Audrey and Alyssa looked exactly alike from the back. They even did the same body motions at the same time. I guess it all comes with being a twin. I felt a bit left out. Maybe I could find a guy... but what guy would want to be with me? I am just one of the guys. There was one guy that I was interested in. Kyle Darling. He was really cool and nice... not like other guys. When I turned around there Kyle was. I fell into step beside him and we started talking. Soon after we had a plan to hang out at the arcade tomorrow. I was so happy. It wasn't a date... I think...but it would still be fun. I couldn't wait.
!JAKE'S POV!
I was frozen. All I could do was stare at him. He came up to me and smiled. I was surprised. " Glad things are working out for you two love birds." I was speechless. "NOT!!! Baker you're going to pay!" I knew it was too good to be true. I walked home thinking...maybe a little too much. My brain hurt and I needed to sleep. So when I go home I flopped on my bed and fell asleep. The next day at school I knew something was going on. Audrey was acting extra happy and it looked like she made some extra effort to look cute or something. And then I found out that Kevin had asked Audrey out on a date. Kevin was up to something... and I knew it. I also found out that Kevin was going to sit with us at lunch... great. I mean he used to before but he hadn't for the past couple of days and I didn't want to welcome him back to the table. I was NOT looking forward to lunch. Not at all! But it came. It came quickly. I walked into the cafeteria and took my seat beside my awesome, perfect, and totally hott girlfriend. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and we headed up to get some of the goop they called Meat Loaf. When we got back to the table, Kevin was sitting next Audrey and Sarah. Audrey and Kevin flirted all during lunch and it made me want to throw up. But I had to at least act happy because Alyssa was very happy that she had Kevin off her back and that her twin was happy. I knew that something was up though. I figured I would talk to Alyssa about it later.
!KEVIN'S POV!
Yes! I did it!! The plan is in full throttle! Today I asked out Audrey. She tried to look nice, I'll give her that. And we're going to go to the arcade. I asked her if I could sit at the lunch table. I was going to flirt with her in front of Alyssa to see if that did anything. Apparently, it didn't have an effect on her because she just spent the whole time laughing and talking with Jake. They were holding hands the whole time! Gag. I seriously wanted to throw up. Instead of throwing up, I flirted more, and louder. It didn't work though. I needed something more drastic. An idea popped into my head. A double date. Perfect. "Hey guys." I interrupted on their flirting. And they turned and looked at me. "Would you guys want to come with us to the arcade tomorrow?" They looked at each other and Jake said, "Sure, I guess that would be ok." Yes!! Perfect!! Now I just needed to kiss Audrey, then Alyssa will be practically throwing herself at me! The rest of the day was a blur. Finally tomorrow came and we were at the arcade having a great time. Boy was Alyssa looking hott. She was wearing very short shorts that showed off her awesome tan, a white spaghetti strap shirt that showed a little bit of her stomach, and her pink Etnies. I mean, Audrey looked ok. She actually wore a white squort. I couldn't believe it. It was the first time I had seen her in one. And she look pretty good, just definitely not as good as Alyssa. She also wore a pink halter and pink and white Etnies. But she was not Alyssa material. We played games for a while and I flirted around with Audrey, a lot. I think she really likes me. I didn't think she would go with it. But she really acted like she liked me.
!AUDREY'S POV!
Kevin kissed me... on the lips. That was probably the single best moment of my entire life. The arcade was great. He bought me a drink and tokens and everything. I beat him at Air Hockey, but I think he let me on purpose. He's so nice and sweet and such a gentleman. After he kissed me I thought I was going to faint or something, he had taken my breath away! I can't believe that I was ever depressed and cutting my self. Life is so great! How could I have ever thought it was horrible? I wish I was with Kevin right now. I think Alyssa had a good time with Jake too! She looked like it! But how does Mrs. Audrey Clark sound...
!ALYSSA'S POV!
When I saw Audrey and Kevin kiss, I felt so happy for her, she was finally happy. When Kevin and Jake walked us home, I kissed Jake goodnight and Kevin kissed Audrey...again. Audrey and I were beaming when we went inside. But before we made it inside, Audrey invited Jake, Sarah, and Kevin over on Friday. There couldn't be anything too it, right? Nah... but boy was I wrong.
!SARAH'S POV!
Kyle was the perfect guy. Sweet, nice, hott, and funny. I knew he was just my friend but I don't know, I just felt like we were right for each other. Whoa, that so doesn't sound like me. But I think I have my first crush. When Alyssa, Jake, Audrey, and Kevin went to the arcade Kyle came over. We hung out in the backyard and in the tree house playing card games. I think he only want to be friends, but I think... I think I want to be more.
!KEVIN'S POV!
I got the kiss! I got TWO kisses! Take that Jake and Alyssa! I did it right in front of them too! Audrey is totally falling for it... I do feel a little bad though. Leading her on like this. But once this is all over, the only people she needs to be mad at are Alyssa and Jake.
The best part about the whole thing, was Jake, Sarah, and I were invited to Alyssa and Audrey's house on Friday. I had the perfect plan. I just needed to find Sarah. I found her at the park, practicing lacrosse with a few of her friends. During one of their breaks, I called her over. " Hey, you know how we are all going over to Alyssa and Audrey's house tomorrow after school?" "Yeah, why?" "Well, I need to ask you a favor." " What is it?" she asked annoyed. I whispered my plan in her ear and at first she didn't agree. That is...until of course I offered her money. I feel bad doing this... but not that bad...
!SARAH'S POV!
I hated Kevin's idea, but he offered me money, and I really needed some. So, being the stupid girl I am, I agreed. I didn't really feel good about it, but I did. Why do I have to make stupid choices? Well... it was Kevin's idea. Oh well! Nobody will know... hopefully. While we were at the park, Kyle stopped by. He looked better than ever. That doesn't sound like me, but it's the truth. He walked me home, and right before I went inside he asked me if I wanted to hang out with him again tomorrow. " Oh no, I am so sorry I can't, I have plans", I said. It hurt having to tell him no...But I would get over it. Right?
!JAKE'S POV!
Sarah and I walked down the street to Alyssa and Audrey's house. I was a bit excited because I had no idea what we were going to do. Unfortunately Kevin was going to be there too. How can Audrey like such a jerk? Anyways, when we got there Alyssa was looking mighty nice. She does all the time. They welcomed us in and when we got up to their room Kevin was already there. We just sat around for a little while, trying to think of what to do. Kevin kept looking at Sarah and they seemed to have a conversation with their eyes. Kevin asked," So what do you guys want to do?" Sarah answered immediately," How about a game of truth or dare?" She didn't even give anyone a chance to say anything. "Kevin, truth or dare" Sarah asked. Kevin smirked and said, "Dare" Sarah then gave him the worst dare I could imagine. " I dare you to make out with Alyssa." I was furious. How could she do this to me? Alyssa and I looked at each other and she looked scared. I then glanced over at Audrey her face went from smiling to pale. I piped in. "What kind of dare is that Sarah?" " I just figure it would spice things up a bit", she said. I was fuming! Alyssa wasn't too happy about it either. Audrey still wasn't saying anything. But Kevin... Kevin was smiling. Then he had to open his big mouth. "Come on Jake, it's just a game." "My sister just dared you to make out with my girlfriend! What do you expect me to do? Smile and push her over to you?" I said furiously. "Jake chill out... I would let you make out with Audrey if Sarah dared you too. It's nothing big... just a game. We won't have to do it in front you."
" No I would feel much better if I watched to make sure you didn't pull anything!" I said without thinking. "Ok... go right ahead." Kevin tugged on Alyssa's arm. "Come on." Alyssa looked back at me with a worried look on her face, I could tell she was dreading it. " How long do we have to make- out?" asked Kevin. Sarah thought for a second. "At least 30 seconds."
I looked at Kevin, he was glaring at Sarah. When she caught his eye she said"...Op I mean... umm... a minute?" Kevin gave her a look that said 'much better'. Something fishy was going on and I kicked Sarah. "Ow! What was that for?" I scooted over to her and whispered. "What's going on?" " Nothing! Chill out! It's just a minute. It will be over before you know it!" "Hello! That's a minute too long!! She's my girlfriend!" " I know, I realize that. But it's just a game, it's not they're going out now, or anything" "Fine... whatever... but look over there at Audrey."
Sarah and I looked over at her. She had gone silent and her smile had faded. Her face was pale and she hadn't said a word. She looked over uncomfortably at Kevin and Alyssa.
Sarah then said "Don't worry about it Audrey... it's just a game." All Audrey was look at her and didn't say anything.
Alyssa was starting to turn green. Kevin just said, " let's just get this over with." He put his arms around her waist, and she just kept hers down to her side. He leaned it and kissed her gently. I couldn't bear it. All my rage toward Kevin surfaced. He had gone too far. After a minute Alyssa started to pull away but Kevin wouldn't let her. Instead, he took it further. He was stronger then she was so he won the fight. Alyssa looked very uncomfortable and I ran over and pulled him off of her. I then ran over to Alyssa and just hugged her for a long time. She was shaking and I could tell she was scared.
I hated Kevin. I wanted to kill him now. He wasn't acting like a good boyfriend towards Audrey and is disrespecting my girlfriend. I looked over at Audrey and tears were starting to fall down her face and she kept staring at the same spot on the wall. She didn't move and she didn't say anything. Then I started yelling. "Kevin!! What were you thinking!? Alyssa was pulling away!!"
" I'm sorry! I couldn't tell! I didn't think our time was up yet." He said unconvincingly
"Uh dude!! She was pushing you off of her!!" " Oh, I couldn't tell". He lied. By now Alyssa was on the verge of crying. "Great! Now you made her cry!!" Then I pointed at Audrey. "You made her cry too!" Kevin then pointed at Sarah, "It's her fault!!" " Just shut up, Kevin! That is the biggest lie I have ever heard! Ever since Alyssa and I started dating, you've done whatever you could to steal her away from me! But you took it too far this time!"
"Dude chill out!! I was just... playing around."
" I don't think what you did is considered playing around!"
"Well I thought it was!!"
" Well then you're an idiot! And you have horrible judgment!!" and Alyssa and I are out of here! I gently helped Alyssa up and we walked to the park, to a place where we could be alone. I was still pissed off at Kevin! I walked Alyssa over by the lake and took hold of her hands. "Alyssa, I am so sorry for what Kevin did. Everything's going to be ok though. You don't ever have to talk to him again." We looked at each other for a second and then Alyssa started to hug me. " Jake, I have no clue what I would do without you, you have been such a good friend, and boyfriend through it all. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have you." she said that made my heart melt. I felt the exact way. There weren't words to describe. So I did the next best thing, I leaned in and kissed her passionately for a long time. I felt like we were only two people in the world. I was wrong before, THIS was the best moment in my short life so far.
!ALYSSA'S POV!
I cringed when Sarah gave Kevin his dare. Did she not know Kevin and Audrey were together? And Jake and I were too. Jake and Sarah started arguing. Jake was fuming too. I had a feeling that Kevin had something to do with this because he was smiling...did he still like me? He couldn't, he liked Audrey now, didn't he? So many things were racing through my mind as Kevin pulled me over to him. Jake and Sarah were still arguing when Kevin said, "Let's just get this over with!" He put his arms around my waist and I kept my arms down by my side, I didn't want to touch that scumbag. After a minute of kissing had gone by, I started to pull away, but Kevin was too strong and I felt him try to take the kiss further. Jake came over and pulled Kevin off me. I was freaked out and Jake could tell because he came over and just stood there with his arms around me. I felt safe, and I liked that feeling, only Jake could make me feel like that. I looked up at Audrey and she was crying. Jake started yelling at Kevin for making both my twin and me cry. Apparently Kevin was "playing around". Jake helped me up and gently pulled me out the door, and to the park. When we got there he apologized for Kevin. I pulled him into a hug and decided to tell him how I really felt. " Jake, I have no clue what I would do without you, you have been such a good friend, and boyfriend through it all. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have you." I said. He just leaned down, took me in his arms, and kissed me for what felt like eternity. It was incredibly romantic. All I wanted was for him to hold me forever. I'm sure he would too, if he could. When we finally broke away, he got out his cell and called my house to make sure Kevin wasn't still there. I was relieved to hear he had left. Jake walked me home and I didn't want to say good- bye. I walked inside after giving him a kiss and went upstairs to find Audrey crying on her bed. I couldn't comfort her because I didn't know what to say. I was still incredibly upset. So I just pulled down the covers and crawled in next to her. I heard a tap on the window around 2 in the morning and Audrey got up to go see who it was. It was Kevin...and he wanted to talk to me. I really didn't feel like talking to him, but I had to sooner or later...might as well be sooner. I walked over to the window and Kevin started telling my how sorry he was for scaring me. I looked back behind me as Audrey left and when I turned back around Jake was standing there in a hoodie and basketball shorts. He saw Kevin trying to talk to me and got mad. Before he could kill Kevin, I invited him upstairs. It was around 3 in the morning so my parents were sound asleep. I told Kevin that I was still angry and that he needed to leave. Just when Jake made it up the stairs, we heard a huge boom coming from the bathroom. We slowly made our way into the bathroom to see a shaking Audrey with a bloody fist and a broken mirror.
