My Twin part 1

There is a theory that everyone has a doppelganger that exists somewhere in the world. There have been various reports of individuals spotting people who looked eerily similar to them. This phenomenon has fascinated me for a while, as I have pondered where my doppelganger resides. Does he live in Asia, Europe or Canada? Or does he live in a remote part of the United States, or even in my same plane of existence?  Just recently, I discovered that my doppelganger actually resides here in Niskayuna! Before I dive into describing this stranger, I should probably introduce myself first. I was born on April 6th, 1996 in Redondo Beach California.  In the long line for re-incarnation, I was supposed to be the first sibling, but then my older brother budged in front of me and stole my place. This is why we are so close in age, only being fourteen months apart. Some people call this the "Irish Twin" phenomenon.  Often times, people around me have joked that we could be twins born at different times. Some even think that we actually are twins, which completely bewilders me because I don't think we look alike at all. I can't tell you how many times I have been mistaken for my older brother. This has happened several times during our childhoods, but now, such occurrences rarely happen. Instead, I have been confused with my doppelganger, who has been recently skulking around Niskayuna for mysterious reasons.

Last year, woman who works in the school sandwich line assumed that I had a twin. At first, I thought she was mistakening me for my older brother; but then I realized this was not the case when she said "Oh, you like mustard on your sandwiches. That's funny, because your twin orders the exact same sandwich but prefers hot sauce instead." My older brother never bought lunch at the school last year so it could not have been him. I told the lady that I didn't have a twin, and she looked confused at first, but then we shared a good laugh over the matter. In my mind, I thought "Could this be my doppelganger?"
