I stared at a few test scores I received from my Physics, English and Biology teachers as I walked through the halls to my locker. In my opinion eighty percent in both Biology and Physics aren't bad but the seventy-five percent in Physics would be a problem, especially for my parents. I sighed as I took a left turn walking past two cheerleaders who were busy gossiping about some girl with purple hair and braces.

As usual I saw Aaron waiting for me by my locker. I wrinkled my brow in confusion when I realized that he was glaring at a guy that looked exactly like him. 

"Ah come on bro at least tell me her name"

"I said get lost and stop calling me that"

"Don't you think you're overreacting?"

I cleared my throat loudly and both heads turned my way. "Uh hi?"

Without another word Aaron grabbed my hand and dragged me away. "Jabari aren't you...."

"I said get lost!"

After school I sat on the couch in my living room with Aaron's head in my lap. Fortunately, my parents weren't home so it was just us. After seeing the guy that looked like him he remaind vex for the whole day. "So aren't you going to tell me who he is?" he shrugged and closed his eyes while I played in his hair. "If you don't tell me who he is, I'll ask him myself," he opened his eyes, "I dare you"

I smiled, "wanna bet?"

He sighed as he sat upright, "Fine then....," he hesitated before answering, "he's my twin brother."

Well that was obvious.

"So thats how he knew your real name? I thought you said you guys were from Sholem? Why is he all the way out here?" he rolled his eyes, "apparently our mother is dead and our father went mad so with them out the picture. My guess is that he needs me," I nodded my head in understanding.

"So are you...."

"Don't even think about it Ari. There is no way I want him back in my life."  I flinched at his harsh tone and Aaron realizing what he had done pulled me into a tight hug, "I'm sorry stay away from him. I don't want him having any levrage over me"

Although I was curious about finding out more about his brother I prefered not to since it would anger him. And trust me its not a pretty sight.

"Alright. I promise"
