My name is Sub.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I look down at the paper he hands me.

"Wait, can you talk?" I ask him. He shakes his head, and snatches the paper from my hand. I see him scribbling out some words. He then hands the paper back to me.

I'm a mute.

That makes sense.

"Well, Sub, if you wanna come sit by us for now, you can," I politely tell him. He gives a hopeful look at me, and stands up. I lead him to where all my friends are sitting. I clear my throat.

"Ahem," I start, " I would like to introduce you all to Sub!" He is hiding behind me, so I push him out towards the front.

He gives a small, shy wave. Everyone else waves back.

"Aw sick! Another guy to join the group," Elijah's buddy, Andrew says. Sub nervously walks towards them, and takes a seat next to Elijah. I grin to myself. Looks like I just added a new member to our friend group. I sit next to Ethan. He gives me a startled, scared type of look, and walks away. I see Ethan disappear in the crowded hallway.

"Mkay," I say, "does anyone here know why Ethan is avoiding me?" Everyone shakes there head. I look at Elijah. "Not even you?"

"Ethan's a mysterious person," Elijah tells me, "don't worry, he'll come around." I casually shrug my shoulders. The school bell rings, so each one of us scramble to our classes.

I found out I had 3 classes with sub; history, algebra, and science. Since he was new, he got to choose wherever he wanted to sit, so he would always sit next to me. It was awesome because it was easy to communicate to him without the teacher yelling at us to shut up. All we did was pass notes to each other. Sub and Elijah seemed to really hit it off to, because they shared the same interests. Sub also wanted to became a YouTuber, just like Elijah. So during lunch, Elijah decided to drop his old channel, Breadsticks, and work with Sub on a new Minecraft animation channel called, SketchAnimated (I forgot what the channel is actually called.)

Since the school day was now over, I decide to call up some friends, and see what they wanted to do. The cold, February air is sending chills down my back, but the winter wonderland view is amazing. I decided to text the group, and see what they want to do.

Buddies 👌

Kyra: sup. Anyone free? I'm kinda bored.

Elijah: Your always bored.

Kyra: no I'm not

Jazzy: yes u r. U literally texted us a few days ago if we were bored, and then all you guys went on an exhausting trip to a carnival.

Denis❤️: well it was kinda fun tho

Sub: to bad I couldn't go

Kyra: you can come one day lol

Kyra: I'm just trying to keep you guys from getting bored and lazy

Jazzy: whatever. I'm free

Elijah: so am I

Denis❤️: I'm not

Ethan: I'm not free either.

Sub: ditto

Kyra: alright, so it's just Jazzy and Elijah. Can u both come over to meh house?

Elijah: sure

Jazzy: on it.

Denis❤️: alright u guys have fun

So it was settled. I patiently wait for Jazzy and Elijah to come. Soon, the doorbell rings, and I swing the door open to find Jazzy and Elijah dressed up in thick snow jackets.

"Hey guys! What's up with the coats?" I ask them.

"Have you seen the weather?!" Elijah says, as he slips the jacket of his torso. Jazzy takes a seat on my couch.

"So what are we doing?" She asks.

"I dunno. I thought we could chillax here for a while, and then go get hot cocoa or something." I explain.

"Sounds good," Elijah says, as he heads to the kitchen, "by the way, you guys ran out of Goldfish. I suggest you go get some," I roll my eyes and smirk. We spend an hour watching a movie and another hour completing all of our homework.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"THANK GOD WE FINISHED THAT STUPID ALGEBRA ASSIGNMENT!" Jazzy groans.

"I say we congratulate ourselves with a steaming cup of cocoa," I laugh and suggest.

"Yes, that would be very needed at a time like this." Elijah agrees. I giggle, and the three of us start gearing up. We jump in the car, with Jazzy driving, and sing Christmas carols the whole drive (even though Christmas was over)

The car pulls up in the parking lot of my favorite cocoa shop, Toasty Chocolate. Elijah parked pretty far from the shop, mainly because there were a lot of people visiting that day. It takes us about 5 minutes to walk towards the shop. Well, it took Jazzy and Elijah five minutes. I stop and freeze like a deer caught in headlights. I don't believe it. I take a step forward, just to make sure. It is what I think it is.

Elijah looks over his shoulder and says, "Kyra? You coming?" But I don't hear him. I was focused on the two people in the parking lot, right next to the hot cocoa shop. They were kissing.
My boyfriend, yes MY boyfriend was kissing someone else, who wasn't me.

And that someone else was my best friend's twin.
