"Okay so the first solubility rule is that all acetates, nitrates, ammonium, and group one compounds are soluble," I explain as he notes it down with an unreadable expression.

What if he didn't understand anything? He'll fail and then not get into university. No job would accept him and will then end up homeless. I'll find out he died from starvation or..

"Adelaide are you okay? You look like you've seen a murder," Xavier stares at me with concern.

I gaze at my watch and realize it's half past two.

"Ya, I'm fine. We went further ahead than needed so we can stop here." He immediately shuts his book and notebook.

"Thank you Adelaide; I actually understand."

"Thank you for helping me in math. I thought I was a hopeless case. These area bounded questions were destroying my brain." I look at my book and notice him smiling from the corner of my eyes.

"Oh I just remembered my mom wanted me to give you something to give it to your mom. It's in my room," I stand up and he follows my action.

"Jeez Adelaide is this your way of getting me into your room?" He teases me as I flick my pencil at him

"In your wildest dreams Benjamin," I ascend the stairs while he's right behind me.

Once we arrive I turn to him, "Take a moment and enjoy the view. You could take a few snaps for memory. I know you were so eager to get a glance of the gorgeous Adelaide's room, so enjoy the moment while it lasts," I pat him on the shoulder and walk in.

(Image of Adelaide's room obviously without the IKEA tags. Keep in mind she had that room done before the family's financial problems happened )

"My dream is finally coming true! How will I ever repay you? Wow, it's like I stepped into an IKEA  store," he looks around with a mischievous smile plastered on his face. Did I forget to mention I'm obsessed with IKEA?

I bend over and grab the bag Mum left for me and I hear a door close. Not again Benjamin.

One thing I've learned about him is that he has his moments where his caveman takes over his actions.

"Xavier Archer Benjamin, when I turn around I better see an open door and you standing next to that open door."

I count to three calming my nerves and turn around to find him a few centimeters away.

"Haven't you heard about personal space. Oh I'm sorry you're a caveman," I push him away but he grabs my hand and looks at me with his lust filled eyes.

"Benjamin I have a pen in my pocket. I'm not afraid to poke you to death. Actually I know something worse," I push him away and smile slyly.

He steps closer and leans his head down, "what will you do Adelaide?"

Oh wouldn't you like to know?

I smirk and open my mouth, "DAMIEN! HELP ME! DAM..."

He quickly covers my mouth with his hand and I hear quick footsteps outside my room.

"Addie are you okay?" I hear Damien's concerned voice outside and my heart melts for my caring brother.

Now isn't the time for a sibling moment. Focus on the douchebag in front of you.

Did I forget to mention that I gave my brother an extra key to my room for emergencies? I guess not.

Xavier starts panicking, but I simply slap him out of it with the bag.

"Calm down, I have it under control." He gulps as the door is finally unlocked and Damien slams the door open.

"Are you o... what is he doing in here?" He crosses his arms and waits for a reply. Xavier looks at me with a 'how are you going to get us out of it' look as I turn to look at my dear twin brother.

"We locked the door and then the key decided not to work with us. I think someone must've swapped this key with the broken one," I state innocently. Smooth as butter..

"Okayyy," Damien obviously doesn't believe me, twin telepathy blah blah, but he lets it slide.

We walk out of the room as Xavier slaps his forehead, "How would the key not be working if you used it to lock the door in the first place?"

Shoot.. oh well we all have our dumb moments.

"Oh shut up unless you want me tell Damien what you really were doing," I grin evilly.

"You're evil Adelaide," he says and I push him to the wall. His eyes widen in shock as my face gets closer to him.

He closes his eyes and waits for the kiss. I turn my face to his ear whispering, " I know."

I back away and watch him take in a deep breath as I smirk in amusement.

"Oh it's on Adelaide." Clapping is heard from behind and my brother states, "you'd be quite a couple but you obviously have to go through me.

"Excuse me dear TWIN, I'm not your little sister. A minute difference is neglected. Besides I don't plan on dating him; I'm way out of his league," I give Damien a deadpan look but notice hurt etched on Xavier's face but ignore it as my conscience scolds me for saying so.

"Okay dear twins, can you leave us alone I need to talk to your brother for a minute," Xavier states. I nod and head downstairs.

Should I feel bad for what I said about Xavier?

No

Yes

I DO NOT KNOW

Why is he even on mind? He's just a normal guy and ten years time I'll just remember him as a guy I attended high school with. All these mixed emotions and confusion regarding guys is just my hormones speaking. Besides nothing will ever happen between us; he's on top of the school chain alongside all those other pretty girls.

Nothing will happen (said every lead girl character before falling in love with the guy.)This is real life not a fairytale.

WHY AM I EVEN THINKING ABOUT HIM. I hit my forehead to snap out of it but I end up hitting my eye. Great... Thinking of boys is making me turn into a psychotic cavewoman.

I head to the kitchen and grab something cold to place on my eyes. A few seconds later, Xavier walks into the kitchen with is backpack in hand. "I'm leaving now, do you need anything?" He looks everywhere but my eyes.

"No thank you." He drops his backpack and grabs the icepack and holds it gently for me. The heat radiating off of him will melt the ice pack any second now.. and me too. My level of wit is through the roof right now.

"What happened ?" It's now my turn to avoid his gaze. Oh nothing I was just thinking about you and wanted to stop so decided to hit myself and ended up missing. Ha ha ha so when is the next time you want to meet?

"So you are thinking about me?" Of course I said that out loud. "You've popped my personal bubble too many times, can you please stop popping it and step away please?" I push him away from me and he doesn't bulge. Beneath my hands is a perfectly sculpted wall of muscles but I quickly remove my hands as I were electrified by the touch.

"I know you are feeling something Tade and don't try denying it."

"Yes I feel absolute detestation and hatred towards you. I admit you are good looking but so are many other guys."

"Yes but remb.." I interrupt him," remember that there's a thin line between hate and love. Luckily, I have scissors and won't be afraid to use it."

He grabs his stuff and I escort him to the door slyly grabbing a water bottle.

"Oh Xavier." He turns around, "yes?"

"Since you're always thirsty. I can be of assistance," I walk towards him with a seductive look on my face.

"I knew you would," I slowly open the cap and smash the bottle over his head.

He stands there in shock drenched in water, "I suggest you drink more water. It's very refreshing."

I close the door in his face. Damien pops out and laughs hysterically as we watch Xavier from the window as he walks away.

"I got the whole thing on tape."

"That's why you're my twin."
