Seeing Double
Sweet Love

Samantha pushed her bangs off of her face. The sun was shining brightly, and the birds were singing. Samantha was wearing a green tank top, which brings out her strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. Her hair was pulled up into a ponytail, and she was wearing a cap that matches her tank top. Samantha lay down on the soft and green grass. They brushed against her back and looked up at the blue sky.

Amanda, Samantha’s twin sister was clearly the bolder one. She was walking at the mall, wearing a hot pink tank top and a jean skirt. Her long hair was flowing down on her shoulders. Amanda spotted a good-looking boy with dark messy hair and dark eyes. He clearly has a nice frame. She walked over to him with a smile.
“Hey.” She said with a flirty smile.
“Hey.” The boy replied.
“So, where do you live?” she asked.
“Oh, I live in Timber Lane.”
“Hey, so do I! Maybe we will see each other again.” Amanda said with a smile. “See you later.” She said, winking, then walking away, and leaving the boy speechless.

“Excuse me, can I sit with you?”
Samantha looked up to see a boy with brown spiky hair and dark eyes. He was a good-looking boy with nice features and a great smile.
“Sure.” Samantha smiled back.
“My name is Scott. Do you live around here?” the boy asked.
“I live around the block. My name is Samantha.”
“That’s a pretty name.”
“Not many people call me Samantha. They call me Sam.”
“Well, I’m going to call you Samantha because the name suits you.”
“How would you know that?” Samantha asked.
“You’re one of those nature girls, right? You’re athletic, and you really like the great out doors.”
“That’s right! I do love going outside! Anyway, are you new here? I’ve never seen you before.”
“Yeah, my friend and I moved here yesterday.” Said Scott.
“Well, welcome to the neighborhood.” Said Samantha, looking at her watch. It was 6:00pm. “Oh shoot! I have to go home. I’ll see you later, ok?”
“Ok. See you later.” Scott said, as Samantha jogged down the block back home.

~*~*~

“Hey Scott, I saw the hottest girl today at the mall. She is just gorgeous.” Said the boy.
“I saw a girl too. She has strawberry blond hair, blue eyes and a great smile. She is so nice.” Scott said. Then he heard a door slam. Scott turned around and his friend was gone.

~*~*~

“Class, we have a new student in our class. His name is Scott Robinson.” Said Mrs. Kirk.
“Um, hi. As you already know, my name is Scott. I like going outside and I like to dance and sing.” Said Scott.
“Thank you Scott. Please take your seat.” Mrs. Kirk pointed to a seat beside a blond girl.
Scott immediately recognized the girl. “Fancy meeting you here.” He said.
The girl looked at him. “Excuse me?”
“Nice seeing you again.” He said.
“I’ve never seen you in my life.”
“What do you mean? I talked to you at the park the other day.” Scott said.
“Nope. I was at the mall for the whole day.” The girl replied.
‘That’s weird.’ Scott thought.
“Who invented the light bulb?” Mrs. Kirk asked. The girl beside Scott raised her hand. “Yes Amanda?”
‘Amanda?’ Scott thought. ‘Why is the teacher calling Samantha ‘Amanda’?’

“My name is Richard Breen, but everyone calls me Abs. I live for singing and dancing.”
“Thank you Richard.” The teacher, Mr. Chase said. “Please take a seat next to Samantha.”
“Uh, it’s Abs.”
“Abs. Right.” The teacher said.
Abs took a seat next to Samantha.
“Hey, how are you?” he asked.
“I’m fine.” Samantha blushed.
“Do you remember me?” Abs asked.
“No, not really.”
“What do you mean? You came over and talked to me on Saturday.” Abs said, confused.
“That was not me. I was in the park for the whole day.” Samantha said, looking at her English textbook.
Abs leaned back against his chair and sighed. ‘She is not the girl I talked to at the mall.’

When lunchtime came, Scott and Abs met each other by their lockers. They walked together to the cafeteria and found their new friends, Sean, Richard and Jason.
“Hey guys, how was your first day of school?” Sean asked.
“Confusing.” Abs and Scott said at the same time.
“What do you mean?” asked Richard.
“Well, I met this really cute girl at the mall last Saturday. She was bold. When I saw her in my English class today, she said that she never met me before and she wasn’t at the mall. She’s quieter.” Said Abs.
“Really?” asked Jason.
“Yeah.”
“I met this girl at the park and she’s really nice and sweet. Her name is Samantha. When I saw her today in Science class, she totally ignored me! The teacher called her ‘Amanda’!” said Scott.
Richard, Jason and Sean started to laugh.
“What’s so funny?” asked Scott.
“You two met the Taylor twins, Amanda and Samantha. From what you’ve told us so far, Scott, you’ve met Samantha, the quiet and shy twin, and Abs, you’ve met Amanda, the bold and loud twin.” Said Jason.
“Oh!” the two boys exclaimed.
“There’s Samantha.” Sean said. “Hey Sam!”
Samantha looked over and waved. Sean motioned her to come over.
“Hey guys, what’s up?” Samantha asked with a smile. Her smile grew wider when she saw Scott. “Hey Scott! Nice meeting you again! You never told me you’re going to my school!” Samantha turned to Abs. “Hey, you’re in my English class.”
“Yeah.” Abs said.
“And there’s Amanda.” Said Richard. “Hey Mandy! Over here!”
Amanda walked over to the table. “Hey.” She said when she saw Abs.
“Hey.”
“Um, sorry about the mix up thing. I thought you were Samantha.” Said Scott.
“Well, everyone mixes us up. Just don’t do it again!” she said with a smile.
“I’ll try not to.” Scott said with a laugh.
“I’ll see you guys later, ok?” Samantha said suddenly.
“Where’re you going?” Scott asked.
“Outside to eat!” Richard, Jason and Sean said together.
“Sam always eats outside.” Sean informed Scott.
“Well, can I join you?” Scott asked Samantha.
“Sure.” She said, and off they went.
“Well guys, I guess you’re stuck with me.” Amanda said, sitting down next to Abs. “Hey Billie! Hey Claire!” Amanda said when she spotted her friends walking into the cafeteria. Claire walked over to Richard and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Claire was Richard’s girlfriend, and they’re not that into Public Display of Affection.

“So, it must be weird when Abs just started to talk to you like that.” Said Scott.
“It was a bit awkward, yeah.” Said Samantha.
“You don’t talk much, do you?”
“Not really.” Samantha blushed. “I do talk a lot sometimes. You know, when I’m on the field or something.”
“Really? What sports do you play?” asked Scott.
“Soccer, basketball, hockey and track.” Replied Samantha.
“Cool! I have a feeling that Amanda is a cheerleader, am I right?” Scott asked.
“Yeah, she’s not a sports person, but she loves attention.”
“I see.”
“Hey Sam! You’re going to track practice, after school, right?” called a voice.
“I’ll be there, Kyle!” Samantha yelled back.
“Great!” he called.
“So, who do you know in this school, other than us?” Samantha asked Scott.
“No one.” Scott replied.
“Well, that’s Kyle.” Samantha pointed to a guy with dark blond hair. “That’s Bobby,” she pointed to a guy with dark brown hair. “That’s Terri,” a girl with black hair halfway down her back, “and that’s Gretchen.” Samantha pointed to a girl with reddish brown hair, who’s tickling Kyle. “That’s all…so far.”
They watched as Kyle and Gretchen rolled down a hill and into a mud puddle.
Samantha giggled. “Welcome to Timber High.”

~*~*~

Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Amanda and Abs started to talk.
“So, what do you like to do?” Abs asked Amanda.
“I love to sing and dance, and Nick Carter is so hot. I’m also a cheerleader.” Amanda replied. “What about you?” she asked Abs.
“I also love to sing and dance. I love sports,” He replied, “And Nick Carter? He’s from the Backstreet Boys, right?
“Yeah, he’s from the Backstreet Boys! You like to dance? Maybe we could dance together or something.” Amanda suggested.
“I’d like that.” Abs smiled.
They were interrupted by laughter. Amanda and Abs turned to see Richard and Sean sticking pretzels sticks into their peaches. “Hey, they look like molecules!” said Sean, laughing. “Here’s Carbon Dioxide…”
Amanda rolled her eyes, smiling. “Welcome to Timber High.”

The next day… after school…

“Hey Abs!” Amanda ran up to him. “Do you and Scott want to go to the teen club with me?” she asked. “We can bring Samantha and Scott too.” Amanda suggested.
“Sure!” Abs slung his bag over his shoulder. “Where’s Sam and Scott?” he asked.
Amanda looked down the hall and saw Samantha and Scott walking down the hall, laughing.
“There they are.” Amanda said.
Scott and Samantha walked towards Amanda and Abs. “Hey guys, what’s up?"
“We were wondering if you two wanted to go to the teen club with Abs and me.”
“Ok.” Scott replied. He turned to Samantha. “Do you wanna?”
“Sure, but we should go home first and change. Do you two wanna go to our house?” Samantha asked Abs and Scott.
“Ok.” They replied.
The four of them walked down Timber Lane to the Taylor house.
“Wow, what a great house!” exclaimed Abs when they walked into the house, he immediately got pushed down by the 2 Great Danes. “Holy shit!”
“Watch your language, young man!”
Abs and Scott turned around to see an old lady, glaring at them. “Sorry.” Abs mumbled.
“It’s alright, Rosa. They’re my friends.” Said Amanda. Rosa turned and walked away.
“Who’s she?” asked Scott.
“She’s Rosa, our nanny.” Replied Amanda.
“Oh—sh-crap!” Abs corrected himself when one of the dogs jumped on him.
“Down Kenny!” Samantha said when one of the dogs jumped on Abs. The dog obeyed her, and sat down.
“Aww! Look at him! He’s a great dog!” Scott said, bending down to pet Kenny.
“Yeah, Kenny is really great. This one is Ruby.” Amanda said, petting the other dog.
“She’s really cute.” Abs said, petting the Great Dane.
“Russell is here somewhere.” Amanda said, looking around the hall. “Russell!” she called.
A little Jack Russell Terrier bounced into the room. “Russell!” Samantha cried, carrying the little dog to Scott. Scott laughed as the dog licked his handsome face.
“Um, we better go and change. Can you watch Russell for me, Scott?” Samantha asked.
“Sure.” Scott said.

Amanda and Samantha walked into their own rooms to change. Amanda changed into her tank top and a black leather skirt. Samantha changed into a pale blue slip on dress. The girls walked down the stairs.
“Wow girls, you two look great!” said Scott.
“Thank you.” Samantha blushed.
The front door opened and 2 kids, a boy and a girl about 8 years old walked in.
“Hey Sam! Hey Mandy!” the little girl said.
“Hey Becka, hey Josh.” Amanda and Samantha replied. “Meet Scott and Abs.”
“Hi.” They said timidly, and turned back to their sisters. “Are they your boyfriends?” asked Becka.
“No, they’re just our friends from school.” Amanda replied.
“Hey guys.” Scott kneeled down to talk to the 2 kids. “How old are you?”
“We’re 8.” Becka replied.
“We’re?” asked Abs.
“Yeah, we’re twins.” Said Josh.
“It runs in the family.” Said Amanda.
“Oh.” Abs replied.
“We better get going.” Samantha said. “But come and see our rooms first.”
Scott and Abs followed Samantha and Amanda up the stairs. They walked into a room, filled with Backstreet Boys posters.
“Whoa. This has got to be Amanda’s room.” Abs said.
“That’s right. She’s the Backstreet Boys fan!” Samantha said.
“Well what’s your favorite band?” Scott asked Samantha.
“Backstreet Boy’s rival! *N Sync! I also like 98 Degrees.” Samantha replied. She opened the door to her room. Inside, there were some posters of *N Sync and 98 Degrees, some stuff animals on her bed and a couple of plants on the balcony that stretches across the outside of her room to Amanda’s room.
“The balcony is so cool!” Scott said as they walked down the balcony stairs to the backyard.
“Yeah, it’s one of my favorite places to read, and Amanda’s place to sneak out!” Samantha said with a laugh.

They walked down a couple of houses to Abs and Scott’s house.
“You have a really cozy house.” Samantha said when they entered the house, and walked into Scott’s room. Amanda went into Abs’ room.
“Yeah, but it’s not as nice as yours.” Scott replied. He picked out a shirt and a pair of black jeans. “Excuse me.” He said, then he walked into the bathroom attached to his room.
Samantha walked over to his bed and sat down. Her eyes traveled around the room, and fell upon a little stuff bear on his bed. She smiled a little.
The door to the bathroom opened, and Scott came out, looking hot. He walked over to Samantha, who was still looking at the bear. She jumped a bit when Scott sat down beside her.
“Oh, hi!” Samantha stuttered.
“Hey. I guess you’ve met my stuff bear.” Scott said.
“Do you have a name for it?” Samantha asked.
“No.”
“It’s really cute.” Samantha said softly.
“Not as cute as you.”
Samantha looked up. Scott’s face was just inches away from hers. They leaned closer, closer…

The door burst opened and Scott and Samantha sprang apart.
“Hey, are you two ready yet?” asked Abs.
“Yea.” Scott and Samantha said, disappointed.

~*~*~

“This is a great club!” Abs exclaimed.
They were sitting in a booth, listening to Backstreet Boys’ ‘Get Down’.
“Come on! Let’s dance!” Amanda said, dragging Abs onto the dance floor.
“Um, Samantha, about what happened…” began Scott.
“It was just an incident!” Samantha said. “Um…do you want to dance?”
“Sure.”
They walked onto the dance floor and the music changed into *N Sync’s ‘God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You’.
Scott wrapped his arms around Samantha’s waist and held her close. Samantha wrapped her arms around his waist, and placed her head on his shoulder. She was humming the song, then she heard Scott softly singing along to the lyrics. When the end of the song came near, Scott gently tugged on Samantha’s hair.
Samantha looked up. Scott smiled down at her, leaned down and placed his mouth over hers. Samantha hesitated for a second, but kissed him back.

~*~*~

“Man, I had a great time! Amanda is so hot! I can’t believe she just asked me out like that. She is such a good kisser! Amanda and Samantha are such gorgeous girls!” Abs said, lying on his bed.
“Yeah,” agreed Scott, “Samantha is so sweet.” He said dreamily.
“You like her, don’t you?” Abs asked.
“Samantha? Um, no, I mean, she’s my friend.” Scott stuttered.
“Sure.” Abs said slyly.
“I mean it!” Scott said, running out the door.

“Abs is so hot! He is such a great kisser. Do you like them?” asked Amanda.
“Yeah, Scott’s really sweet and Abs is really funny.” Samantha said quietly.
“Do you like Scott?” asked Amanda.
“He’s my friend.”
“Yeah, and pigs can fly.”

~*~*~

Samantha woke up early in the morning when the warm, bright sunlight shone through her window. She changed into a pair of blue flared jeans and a pale yellow tee and walked onto the balcony. Taped to her glass door was a note. Samantha opened it.

Samantha,

I really like you, and I’m sorry if I scared you when I kissed you. You’re a really special girl, and you’re really beautiful.

God must have spent a little more time on you,
Scott

A tear slid down Samantha’s cheek. She walked down the stairs to the kitchen to tell Rosa that she’s going out for a walk. Amanda was still asleep.
Samantha walked down the street. It was 6:00 in the morning and the streets were empty, until she heard footsteps behind her. When she turned around, 4 guys wearing all black were standing there, looking at her up and down.
“Where are you going, pretty lady?” asked one of them.
“Wanna have some fun?” asked another.
“No.” Samantha turned around and started to walk away. Then a strong hand gripped her arm. “Let go!”
“No! We’re going to have some fun with you!” said the first guy. “Go to hell Assholes!” screamed Samantha.
One of the guys slapped her, while the others pushed her down, grabbing at her clothes and ripping them. Samantha was a strong girl. She pushed the guys off of her and ran away.

Samantha ran to Scott and Abs’ house, still fully dressed, but the clothes were torn and rang the doorbell. Scott sleepily opened the door. His eyes widened when he saw who was standing there. “Samantha, what are you doing here? What’s wrong?” he asked when he saw her tearstained face and torn clothes. Scott pulled her into his arms and held her tight. Samantha sobbed on Scott’s shoulder.
Scott picked her up, carried her into his room and placed her on his bed.
“What happened?” Scott asked gently.
Samantha continued to sob, but managed to tell Scott what happened.
Scott just hugged Samantha close to him and kissed her forehead. He went over to his closet and got Samantha a pair of his boxers and tee for her to wear. After Samantha changed into his clothes, he kissed her on the lips. They kissed for a while, and fell asleep, in each other’s arms.
“Scott wake—Scott? What the—Samantha? What are you doing here?” he asked. Scott slowly woke up. “Hey Abs.” Scott said, rubbing his eyes. “What time is it?” he asked. “It’s almost 11. What is Sam doing here?” Abs asked. Scott looked down at Samantha, who’s still sleeping in his arms. Scott told Abs what happened. To Be Continued.....
