'Well here we are and again it's story time with Christian. I bet you are wondering just a bit more about how long I have had this diary, when it was given to me. How old I am now. I guess I can answer a few questions for you. I have just celebrated my 28th birthday, Seth gave me this the day we graduated. So I guess...10 years ago. Hm...doesn't really seem that long ago. Anyway I have read some of this diary and I have decided to stop calling it that. It is written like a story, a Auto Biography, so that is what I will call it. Seth's Biography. Reading through it I have passed some minor details. It seems Shane, Corbin, and Seth kept their distance. Well until the end of the first 9-week period when some of the classes changed. Let's just say I play an important role here. '
October 29, 2009
This day was HORRIBLE. Remind me after I am done writing this to kill my brother. It was the first day of the new nine week period. School actually hadn't been that bad. It hadn't been good, oh it had been far from good, but it wasn't bad. The place was big and that made laying low easy. No one bothered me and I just went my own way. I became known as a sort of loner but also as Christian's twin. Chris hit off quickly with almost everyone. So no one really picked on me but I have made a point so far to avoid friends. Well except Corbin. We aren't really friends but we have had to keep the seats took on day one, seriously high school has a assigned seats, in chemistry and occasionally me and Corbin work together on the work but besides that nothing interesting, and occasionally butts in when he is just hopelessly loss. The guy is such a loser, a good looking one, but a loser none the less.
Well anyway today was shitty. In homeroom we got out revised schedule. Apparently you rotate if you are in gym so that you don't have to take it the full half of the semester. To give you a break per say. Well needless to say I ended up in French with...Chris! I was excited and so was he though he never let on. You can't be twins though without knowing how to read each other at least a little bit. The only problem was it was at the end of the day, but that made it easier. I wouldn't have to hunt Christian down after school, or wait for him to find me since we could just leave together.
The day was good besides that. Me and Corbin exchanged schedules in first period but we still had only chemistry together. Well actually there was one thing that happened, at lunch. I was sitting by myself at the end of a rather crowded just eating my food and reading a book as I usually did unless Christian was there to talk to when a French fry hit me from the other end of the table. Now this wasn't like one grade ate then another. It was all mixed and of course it was older students. I just ignored the fry and brushed it from the page and kept on reading. I was used to these kinds of taunts and good at ignoring them. It was quiet for a few more moments then as I expected another fry followed.
Now normally I wouldn't have cared but this one had ketchup! I mean seriously! Come on who slings condiments! I looked up just a little irate and glanced down to the end of the table and opened my mouth to say something when I saw it. It was like it was in slow motion. The milk carton just sailed up into the sky and I knew what was coming. I ducked out of the way just as the milk exploded over the table. There was some hollering and some angry faces and laughing from a nearby table. I sat up and looked over at my `saviors' only to see a grinning Shane. His hair had grown out some and he didn't spike it anymore but just wore it messily kind of like mine. Longer though you could tell it was more of a dark brown than a black. His dark eyes glittered mischievously as he waved me over. I got up and sheepishly made my way to the table that was a mix of upperclassmen. "Guys this is Seth, I call him The Brain. The kid can sit here, no one picks on him, and if anyone tries to let me know." The guys and girls all shrugged not really caring about one little freshman. I moved down the table and took an empty and engrossed myself in tasteless filth and good literature. I never really got into the book though because I kept hearing his voice, and him laugh, and everything was getting all fuddled in my head. I don't know why, all he did was give me a place to sit in peace.
Sixth period rolled around though and I was sitting in French. The teacher was hilarious. I absolutely loved her. We could barely understand a word she said and so she repeated herself a lot much to our amusement. Christian kept mocking her from the seat next to me making me snicker into my textbook. This class had seating arrangements of eight rows. Each row didn't have one desk, but two side by side. Each pair had one text book to share since the school was so big and there wasn't enough to go around.
I remember class had been going on for about 15 minutes though when one of the Guidance Counselors walked in with Corbin. She talked for a moment with the teacher while Corbin looked around a little nervous it appeared. He smiled as his green eyes hit mine and remember Christian leaning over to ask who that was. I didn't answer though because I was too lost in that charming smile and those green eyes. I couldn't help it. They were perfect, well they couldn't be perfect because that meant there was nothing better but Shane's mischievous and black eyes were just as enticing.
The guidance counselor addressed the class finally breaking my train of thought and I noticed Christian smirking at me and then glancing at Corbin with this wicked grin like he thought he knew something. "Students Corbin here has asked if it was okay to be pulled from PE this 9-week period and just take it all at once in the spring semester. Now I said it was fine but we would have to find someone willing to take PE now. His first choice for replacement was this class but we need someone willing to volunteer-"
"I'll do it!" The voice had nearly made me jump. I looked over at Christian who was waving his hand wildly in the air. It stunned me and then I scowled angrily as the guidance waved me forward and pointed out his seat for Corbin. He just grinned wickedly at me as he got up and walked off and I knew then that he knew I had been checking Cory out. Oh that had made my heart plummet into my stomach. Corbin dropped down next to me though and said hello or some other unimportant combo of words that formed a normal human greeting. I don't remember all I knew at that moment was that he was sitting right next to me and was talking to me. "So what are we doing?" I remember being speechless at the question and just mumbling nonsense but the confused expression on his face snapped me back.
"Learning the days of the week." My voice cracked on the last word rather embarrassingly making me blush. "Err...yeah..." I finished not knowing what else to say. Corbin just smiled and laughed and I felt like I was going to just melt into a pool beneath the seat.
"Perhaps you could tell me what the days of the week are?"
"Oh right uh...Monday...Tuesday..."
"In French." That was when I blushed. Oh man I felt so dumb. Of course he had meant in French. I had just made such a fool of myself. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah...just...just mad at my brother for leaving."
"Christian is your brother? That is the Chris you sometimes talk about in science. He is like the coolest kid ever!" Corbin exclaimed. I wouldn't have gone that far. Christian wasn't really all that he just bragged and flaunted himself around and made sure people knew who he was. I wouldn't really say he is cool.
'For your information I never flaunt. I just have this natural swagger that the ladies find irresistible and the men find totally awesome. I can't help it if I just exude hotness even when I almost 30 and at my prime. Okay so 30 isn't that old but it is for me. So...anyway back to the story...er...Biography.'
"I wish I had a brother like Christian." Corbin stated with something that sounded like a wistful sigh. I just sighed and rolled my eyes as the lesson started again and that was the end of it. The class ended up going pretty well and Corbin was kind of funny as he tried to say the French words with a fake accent. I have to admit he definitely sense of humor and can make me laugh when very few can. I am still going to HURT my brother later tonight.
'Alright I am dead tired. It has been one long day for me and I don't think it matters exactly how Seth got back at me. You don't need to know the gory details... Anyhow I already have the next story picked out but I want to stop for tonight. Leave you guessing some more. Does Seth fall for the bad guy or for once does the nice guy come in first. I guess you will just have to wait and find out. I know the answer but it's nice to see how the story started and how the two got together.'
I got a lot of good reviews for the story which is very promising. I got a lot of requests for more so here is the next chapter. Now here is something I would like. I would like who you think Seth will end up with or who you think he should end up with. It is not going to influence my decision any but I would like to hear what you think.
