Subject: The Wrong Twin - Chapter 11A

Introduction: So this is my first shot at writing fiction. I have been
reading the stories on Nifty for quite a while and decided that I would
finally try to do one myself. I know I know I am definitely an idealist
when it comes to some of the details of this story, but I hope you enjoy
this!

I will also warn you that this story will develop kinda slowly, as I hate
stories that are so predictable. I will try not to give away the whole plot
in the earlier chapters.

If you are looking for a quick jerk off, this is not the story for
you. Sorry, I know the feeling searching for them ;). Please feel free to
send me an email and let me know what you think of the story. As usual, if
you are under the legal age to read this sort of material or it is illegal
to do so in the region you live in, please hit the red ?x? in the top right
corner of your screen now. I retain all creative rights to this story. Any
reference to people of the same name is purely coincidental.

This is all fiction, minus the cities and the celebrities.

Special thanks to my best friend Kai for reading each chapter over and
making sure it doesn't suck too badly. I love you! I don't know what I
would do without you!

If you have the means to do so, please consider donating to keep this
fantastic website up and running. I am truly appreciative of this website
for allowing me to share my work. Help keep it going for poor college kids
like me!

I HAVE CHOSEN TO SPLIT CHAPTER 11 UP INTO TWO PARTS! THIS IS PART ONE!

The Wrong Twin - Chapter Eleven A: Date Week, Part 1

*Written from Isaac's Perspective*

When we returned to school on Wednesday, the entire student body was
buzzing about the hockey game. While hockey usually isn't a big sport in
Southern California, the success of our team really put a spotlight on
us. People ACTUALLY come out and support us. I think the fact that Irvine
is one of our rival high schools certainly helps raise the excitement level
of everyone. At lunch, for the first time since our kiss, Kayden sat at our
table and actually conversed with me. Everyone seemed to notice a
difference in his personality. I certainly wasn't tempted to saying
anything to him about it, but Dylan broke the ice and informed Kayden that
he was glad he was sitting with us again.

I stopped after lunch to use the bathroom, and actually ran into Jake. He
kindly offered to rescind his request for a date, but I insisted that I
owed him for my horrendous actions over the weekend. Plus I realized I
really wanted someone to talk to about my sexuality. I knew I had Kenz, but
an actual gay guy would be extremely helpful in this process. I desperately
needed some insight on my situation. I informed him that I prefer picking
him up at 6. He was supposed to pick me up, but I felt like I should take
the lead on the date since I was the one who wronged him. My family once
went to a nice restaurant in Laguna Beach, a nearby beach (obviously haha)
community, and I thought it would be. I just told him to keep the attire
fancy.

The real shock of the day came after the final bell rang. I was on my way
to my locker to deposit my books and collect the ones I needed for homework
when I heard someone calling my name. I turned to see Kayden following me.

"Hey Isaac!"

"Hey Kayde what's up?"

"That's the first time in a while that you have called me that!"

"Well I haven't really had a chance to talk to you now have I?"

"No I suppose not," Kayden admitted as we reached our lockers, which were
right next to one another.

That comment of mine may have been a tad rude, but it was definitely
truthful. He had hurt me. "That is actually why I am here."

"Oh really?" I prodded. I was intrigued now.

"Yeah, I am ready to work things out in our friendship. It's about time we
air the dirty laundry," he said as he glanced quickly at his cellphone. "We
have about three hours before practice, what do you say we grab some
Starbucks and talk about things?"

"I think that sounds like a great idea. Bring your pre-calc homework. We
can work on it. Then we can grab dinner at the Subway next door before
practice. Healthy and quick!" I exclaimed. Kayden simply rolled his eyes at
me. I quickly phoned my parents and informed them I wouldn't be home until
after practice. My mom was pissed that I wouldn't be there for dinner, but
I didn't really care. My friendship, and maybe more someday, with Kayden
depended on this conversation going smoothly.

After a short drive from school, I arrived at Starbucks and ordered a
Caramel Macchiato. The weather was a tad nippy today, so I decided the warm
beverage would be a better selection over my traditional caf‚ vanilla
frap. I found a quiet corner away from most of the other people in the
coffee shop. The only person near me was a businessman who was typing away
on his laptop and listening to something with those noise-cancelling
headphones. I figured this was about as private a spot we could find in a
public place. I was just worried someone I knew would come in or see us or
hear us or something. I was planning on basically coming out to Kayden
about now being curious and about my date with Jordan. I sat nervously in
the corner, tapping my fingers and sipping my hot drink as I watched Kayden
enter the store. I couldn't deny how cute he looked. He was wearing a nice
white, thin jacket with a neat, Arabic- looking scarf around his neck. His
tight jeans hugged his ass nicely as he smiled at me and got in line to
order his drink. I was nervous, but I knew this needed to be done.

"Long time, no see," Kayden remarked with a smirk as he sat across from me
at the small two person table.

"It feels like it's been ages," I replied with a smile.

"Alright so let's just cut to the chase. Do you want to start or do you
want me to start?" Kayden inquired.

"I will start," I answered. I paused to gather my thoughts before taking a
deep breath and beginning to pour my thoughts out to Kayden. "Alright here
we go. First and foremost, I resent the fact that you have, on numerous
occasions, called me a homophobe. There is absolutely no basis behind that
claim. I am the furthest thing from a homophobe. Why did you do that?"

"Well it was partly a defense. I mean let's face it, you haven't exactly
been nice to me. I simply assumed that you were. You need to understand, I
come from the South. Sure, Charlotte is a big city, but it is still the
South. The majority of people there were not very accepting of me. I was
terrified that you were that way. I jumped to conclusions, and for that I
apologize," Kayden responded.

"Apology accepted. I just wish you would have told me. I would have told
you that I was quite alright with your sexuality. That is far from an issue
in my mind. I know I am a jock and from ass-backwards Western Pennsylvania,
but still. You should have waited," I explained.

"Well I really assumed you were that way after your cold response to
meeting Jordan..."

"Oh. That. Well, umm...Kayden there is something I have to tell you," I
admitted.

"What is that?" he asked.

"First, before I tell you, you must know that I want this try at our
friendship to be free of lies. Full disclosure. Understood?"

"Yes, that is why we are doing this."

"Correct. Also, you cannot get mad at me for what I am about to tell you. I
have to tell you this. If I don't, it could ruin our friendship later on,"
I cautioned.

"Ok I won't get mad at you," Kayden promised.

"As I said on homecoming night, that wasn't the first time I met
Jordan. The afternoon after you kissed me, I went to the hockey rink to
blow off some steam. As you well know, Jordan's grandpa owns the rink. Well
when I was on the ice, Jordan showed up and asked if he could join me. I,
of course, obliged.

We did some shooting drills and what not, but I sucked ass. Like really
bad. He questioned me, and I revealed to him that you kissed me and I was
really confused. He then revealed to me that he was gay, and proceeded to
say that I should find out if I was into guys.  So....we kinda...." I
trailed off. I was staring right at Kayden looking for any type of clue
about what he was thinking.

"JUST SPIT IT OUT!" Kayden yelled. I suppose he was slightly angry.

"You promised not to get mad remember," I said. He visibly relaxed a tad,
remembering his promise to me. "We just kinda fooled around. I got him off,
and he did the same to me. Nothing more I swear!!

Well, ok we kissed too. But he kissed me! I swear Kayden you didn't even
know him at the time! I absolutely do not have any feelings for him
whatsoever."

He sat there for a good three minutes considering the situation. I just
slouched in my seat. Had I made the right decision? I didn't want to begin
part two of our friendship with any lies. Jordan would no doubt tell him if
Kayde and I ever did become close. Let's face it, Jordan is an asshole. I
wouldn't put anything past that dick.

"Ok. My first thought is that I should kick your ass for messing around
with my boyfriend. But I guess that would be wrong since we weren't
dating. Mark my words, if you do anything with him while we are dating I
will kill both of you. That happened to me once, and I was nice. I WILL NOT
be nice this time around," Kayden warned.

"I completely understand. I swear on my mother's grave I will not go
anywhere near him," I promised.

"I trust you. Don't make me regret it."

"I won't Kayde."

"Good. Second thought now. Are you gay?!?!?!"

"Well, to be honest, I never gave my sexuality a second thought. I always
dated girls. I mean sure I fooled around with Dylan once or twice when we
discovered jacking off, but nothing more! Then, well, you KISSED ME!!! I
was blown away! Like I have never kissed another guy before. You are really
a great kisser," I admitted with a blush. "But anyways, that really got me
thinking. So then I tried to talk to you.

And you flat out ignored me. Which really pissed me off. But whatever I am
over it."

"I never knew," Kayden said.

"You never even gave me a chance, Kayde," I told him in a somber tone. I
wanted him to understand how badly he hurt me. I made sure he knew.

"I am really sorry Isaac. I never even thought I had a chance with you. I
figured you were as straight as an arrow. I could see the panic in your
eyes when I pulled off your lips. I was worried you were going to beat the
shit out of me, so I took off and ignored you. It was a foolish thing to
do. I think we could still be friends though. I am more than willing to
try," Kayden offered.

"Yes Kayde, I would quite like that," I said as I pulled him into an
awkward hug over the table. I nearly knocked over his latte.

"So then I guess there is something I need to get off of my chest then,
too. Ya know, since we are going with this honesty thing."

"Alright Kayden, shoot."

"There is a reason why Annie wouldn't take you up on any of your advances
on her."

"What?!?!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah," Kayden replied, "I kinda told her that I was interested in you
after the first day of school. She refused to date you so she didn't
torture me. We assumed you were straight. After you were obviously hitting
on her, it just confirmed to me that you were straight. That was another
reason why I took off that morning. I realized I just kissed a straight
guy, which is usually a death sentence. I was especially concerned since I
wasn't out to anyone."

"Fair enough. I mean I can understand where you are coming from. I am very
concerned when it comes to people finding out. I think I am just curious
right now. I don't know if I am gay or not. I might be. I may even be
bisexual. Who knows. As for the whole Annie thing, thanks for telling me
that! I was worried I lost my game! That was very sweet of her though. A
little irritating I must admit, but nice. I would do the same for AJ," I
explained.

"Alright, one final question before we take off to dinner."

"Go for it Kayden."

"What are you going to do about your sexuality?" Kayden asked.

"Well, to be honest, I am actually going on a date Friday night!"

"What?! Seriously?! With who?!"

"Have you met Jake Langston from GSA?" I inquire.

"Brown-haired kid? Kinda short? Wears it in a wavy kinda fashion?"

"Yeah, he is a senior."

"Ohhh yeah I know him! He was the one doing tickets at homecoming! He is
cute!" Kayden admits.

"Yeah I think so too! Well I kinda hooked up with him at a party we went to
in Irvine," I explain. The look on Kayden's face is of surprise and
disappointment. "Hold on, I know. Don't say anything. I didn't realize
there would be alcohol at the party. I was still pissed about you and
Jordan. I drank too much and Jake came onto me. It won't happen
again. Dylan already gave me a lecture, no need for two!"

"Alright fair enough. Two more questions now haha. Are you out to Dylan?
And why were you pissed about me and Jordan?"

"Well no, but Dylan had to come get me since Jake got pissed at me. He went
down on me, and I didn't return the favor," I explained.

"Dudeeee!!!! That is not ok!!!!" Kayden exclaimed.

"I know! I wasn't thinking! I was drunk ok!!!" I argued. "Anyways, he
agreed not to out me if I went on a date with him, so I agreed."

"Well good idea! Now the second question..."

"Right. Well, in the spirit of honesty, I am morally obligated to inform
you that I had a crush on you. That is why I was pissed off. You didn't
talk to me, then all of the sudden had a boyfriend. Not only that, your
boyfriend knew I had an interest in you and still went after you."

"Wow Isaac I didn't know you liked me," Kayden said in a quiet tone. I
could tell he was fighting some sort of war in his mind.

"Once again Kayde, you never gave me a chance," I said. "But it is what it
is, we gotta run! Let's grab a sub and get over to the rink! It's almost
5:30! Practice is in like a half hour!"

Kayden and I grabbed dinner at the Subway next door. We then hurried over
to the rink. I ended up cramping a little bit during warm-ups. Eating and
playing wasn't a good idea. Anyways, before we left Starbucks, we agreed
that our friendship was back and we were on good terms. I couldn't have
been more thrilled! All of our issues were put out into the open and
explained. We finally figured out why we weren't talking. I was glad Kayde
had come around and realized I wasn't a homophobe. I was glad he took my
situation in stride and respected my decision to keep my confusion private
until I figured out where my true desires with men were.

****************************************************************************

*The following is written from Kayden's Perspective!*

Hockey practice was absolutely brutal. It was easily the most treacherous
practice I have ever experienced, but not because of what was going on off
the ice. Since Isaac and I went from Starbucks right to dinner and
practice, I had no time to process all of the information he gave me. And
trust me, it was a lot to handle. I had to keep my focus during practice,
despite my desires to think about Isaac. I needed to figure out some shit,
and soon. I was afraid that if I was off my game, Isaac would sense
something was off with me and be concerned it had something to do with our
friendship. While he would have been right, I was in no mood to explain
what was going on in my head.

When I arrived home, Annie peppered me with questions about my coffee date
with Isaac. I put her off at first, telling her I had pre-calc homework to
do. Unfortunately, Isaac and I talked so long, we didn't have time to do
our homework before practice. I love my sister, but damn can she be
annoying!!!!

After I finished my homework at nine, I grabbed a cold cream soda and made
my way into Annie's room to talk.

"Alright Kayden, I want to hear all about it!" Annie insisted. I proceeded
to tell her all about what Isaac revealed to me. She kept quiet for the
most part. I think she was so stunned that Isaac was possibly gay, that she
couldn't even speak! That is when I realized that I just accidentally
outted Isaac to my sister. I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone!
Shit. Fuck. Shit. Shit. Shit. FUCKKKKK!!!!!

"Annie listen! You cannot tell a soul I told you about Isaac! He will
fucking kill me!!! I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone!" I yelled.

"Calm your shit Kayden, I won't tell anyone! I promise."

"OK good. Thank you."

"So what are you thinking about Isaac?"

"Well, I was obviously wrong about him. I mean I never thought that he was
gay. Or even that he could be gay. I guess I was acting really dumb huh?"

"No shit Kayde. You should have talked to him."

"Oh fuck you Annie you thought he was straight too!"

"Yeah, I will give you that. So what are you going to do now that you know
he is in to you?" She inquired. I was afraid of that question. I thought
from the beginning that Isaac would be perfect for me, but he was
straight. Now that I know he isn't necessarily straight, I was stuck
between a rock and a hard place.

"I can't do anything."

"Why not?!"

"Fucking seriously Annie?! I have a boyfriend! I can't just dump him
because Isaac may like me! What if he turns out to be straight and I dumped
an awesome guy in Jordan because I was just hoping Isaac was gay?" I
countered.

"Well, at least you would have tried! I think Jordan is an asshole and
Isaac would make a much better boyfriend for you," Annie said.

"Hold on, at first you bad mouthed Isaac after I told you I kissed him. Now
you want me to date him? I am so confused by that! Secondly, you don't even
fucking know Jordan that well! He is really sweet and cute! Our date was
amazing! He really knows how to charm a guy!" I argued.

"Yeah, I've heard about how he can charm a guy. I hear he has charmed quite
a few guys. Too many actually. According to some of the girls who know
people from Irvine, Jordan is a manwhore. He gets around baby bro. I just
don't want you to get hurt is all. I know how bad you felt when Nathan
cheated on you, and I don't ever want to see you like that again," Annie
reasoned.

"Listen, I know you are just trying to protect me as usual, but I think you
are wrong this time. If it looks like Jordan is just in for sex, I promise
I will break it off with him. But I refuse to just dump him because of what
people say! That is complete bullshit and you know it!"

"Whatever you say Kayden. I am just letting you know what I know about
Jordan. Don't you come crying to me if he fucks you and then dumps you."

"That won't happen. I would never allow it. I have had enough. I am going
to bed. Good night Annie. I love you."

"Love you too little bro."

Like I said, I love my sister. But sometimes she really pisses me off. This
is one of those times. She doesn't even know Jordan!!! Fuckkkk that!
Besides, rumors are usually false....right?


Well that is it for Chapter 11, Part One. Look for part two shortly! Isaac
goes on his first official date with a boy!!! Thanks so much for reading!
