Since the incident with the weird dream and the letter, I couldn't take out the riddle out of my head. I asked Jess and my parents to see if it was them that put it on my desk. I also did some research on Internet, but I found no results.

It was now lunch time and I was sitting at my usual place waiting for my sister, Jess. While eating, I was reading the riddle for the hundredth time. It was driving me crazy!

'You're still on this? Come on take a break, I'm sure it was you that left it here and forgot about it.' exclaimed my sister as she sat next to me.

'What about the dream then? It'll be a too big coincidence, I'm not crazy!' I answered on the defensive.

'Never said you were. Oh and Matt, meet my new friend Andrew!' she said with a big smile while pointing subtly at him.

I was so into the conversation that I didn't notice about him. 'Hey, nice to meet you! My name is Matt.'

'Same here, I'm Andrew.' he extended his hand looking for a handshake.

'I don't think I saw you around lately...' I said more to myself as we do the handshake.

'I'm new. I just transferred here a few days ago.' he answered my question with a breathtaking smile.

'Hope you like your new school.' I took a bite of my food. 'How did you two meet?'

As he was answering me, I started to observe him. He had brown eyes and hair, 170 cm give or take, not muscular, but not too thin. He was... Normal compared to Cameron. Cameron had something mysterious about him, something that made him look old while staying young.

Talking about Cameron, I didn't dare to text or call him the last few days. I was scared, scared what he would react even thought it was him that started. I didn't want him to reject me... Look at him, he was gorgeous, he could easily pass for a mannequin. Now look at me, a plain and normal teenager. Seriously why would he want someone like me?

'Matt, you here with us?' Jess snapped her fingers in front of me.

'Mmmm.' I answered still in my thought.

'No, you're not. Sorry Andrew, he's always like this...' sighted my sister. 'Matt if you don't listen to me now, I'll tell mom and dad about your relationship with the guy the other day.' she whispered next to my ear, so only me can hear.

'What?!? No way!' I immediately answered loudly. So loud that people started to look at us. 'You won't dare... Will you?' I asked lowly to Jess while looking down to hide myself.

'No I won't, I'm not mean like that. But you were rude toward Andrew.'

'Sorry Andrew, I was lost in my own world... It happened a lot these times.' I apologized.

'No problem Matt, but I have to know something. Is it okay if I ask?' he answered.

'Yeah sure.'

'What did Jess said to you for you to react so strongly?'

I felt heat come up to my face. I supposed I was red as a tomato and tried to hide my face in my hands.

'Are you two dating?' asked Andrew confused.

'What! Us? Dating?' said my sister shocked. 'Of course not! He's my brother!'

Andrew choked on his food. 'S-sorry... I didn't know, well I mean you two doesn't really...'

'Look alike?' my sister and I said at the same time.

'Yeah... So twins?'

'Yes we are.' again we talked at the same time. Then we looked at each other. 'Stop talking at the same time as me.' we said again in unison.

'Stop! No you stop! I give up.' we sight.

Andrew was watching very interested. I guess it wasn't very common to see that, but it wasn't the case with Jess and me.

Then my phone vibrated as they continued to talk about something.

I looked at the text message and saw Cameron name. I started to tremble, nervous about what he wrote. I didn't want to open the mail, I was too scared that he rejected me.

But after debating on if I should read or not the message, curiosity won over fear. I put my password in and waited for it to load. Why the WiFi never works when we needed it the most?!

'Finally!' I murmured to myself when it ended loading.

Dear Matt,

I hope you're doing well.

About last time, when you kissed me. To be honest, I was surprised. I never thought you'll answer my kiss of the other time so soon.

So, I wanted to invite you to dinner on Saturday at my house to discuss about our relationship.

But of course, if you need more time to think about it or you already know your decision, please contact me either way.

I'll be looking forward for your answer.

Cameron.

I think I read the message ten times before starting to understand what it was written. I must had a really shocked face cause both my sister and Andrew asked me if I was okay. I nodded in answer, but no I wasn't okay! Cameron just invited me to eat at his house and he didn't expect me to kiss him back so soon? That meant he loves me right?

'What's wrong?' asked my sister when she saw me gaping in front of my phone.

I gulped. 'Nothing... I-I just need to go to the bathroom.' I excused myself as I ran away from the two of them.

What was this feeling? Why was I feeling so ecstatic yet so melancholic at the same time? It was as if I was waiting for this day all my life.

'Matt.' said a female authoritative voice.

I turned around and saw Jess. 'What are you doing in there? It's the boys bathroom...' I explained not having any patience.

'I saw your message.' she continued.

'What message?'

'The message t-that Cameron just send you!' she said angry stomping toward me.

'H-how do you know about that?' I paled.

'This is not the question! I...' I stopped listening.

She actually didn't trust me anymore! S-she had to peep on me like a fucking stalker! Jess the one that insisted that she would wait until the day I would tell her... When I would be ready! Plus, she was the one that insisted that even if we were twins, we wouldn't put our nose in each other things!!

'... When were you going to tell me about this?!?' she finished still angry.

'WHEN I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS?!? YOU DARE TELL ME THAT? YOU, THE ONE THAT WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP FOR FUCKING FOUR MONTHS AND DIDN'T EVEN THOUGHT TO TELL ME ABOUT IT?' I stopped to take a breath and to call myself down as my sister looked at me shocked.

Yes, I never yelled, but when I was truly angry I do, which was very rare. It seemed like Jess thought I was finished since I stopped yelling.

'Y-you knew about it?' she asked lowly as if she was about to faint.

'Yes I did. I discovered it by accident when you left your phone on the kitchen table. I waited for you to tell me about this, but you never did. When I discovered that you two broke up, I thought it would finally be the time you would tell me, but it seems like I was wrong. SO HOW DARE YOU SCOLD ME ABOUT CAMERON WHEN I'M NOT EVEN DATING HIM YET?!?'

'I... I...' she tried to talk, but she was sobbing too much. I supposed she wasn't expecting this to come back up since it was almost two years that they broke up.

'Just forget about all that.' I ordered still very mad about her as I waved my hand up like I was dismissing her.

There was a moment of complete silence. Confused I looked at her, but she didn't move, it was like she was in trance.

'Jess what are you doing?' I said angry, but was still worried.

'Matt? Where am I?' she looked around. 'Why am I in the boys bathroom?!?' she said panicking with a red face and immediately ran out of here letting me alone and confused.
