My Twin Part 2


I spotted my doppelganger again at the beginning of the school year in the Media Center. After my older brother drove me to school, I was strolling across the C-hall when I spotted him in the library. He was goofing off with his circle of friends, which consisted of a bespectacled boy, a brunette girl, and an Indian girl. He was wearing a sweaty spandex shirt, which made it evident that he didn't change his shirt after gym. How disgusting! He was promptly kicked out for his rambunctious behavior by an understandably angry librarian. As he passed by me, he reeked of BO and fast food that he must have ate for lunch. Afterwards, I entered the library and began to work on my English essay, when I noticed that the same librarian was staring straight at me. I predicted what was going to happen, that she would mistaken me for my doppelganger and was going to unleash her wrath.

She approached me and said "Doing something productive? That's funny because your twin was doing the complete opposite! He was so noisy earlier! I even had to kick him out he was so obnoxious!" 

At first I thought she was being sarcastic, but I went along with it and answered "Yeah."

"You guys look so much alike," she continued. "Not just face-wise, but you boys even where the same clothes and hairstyle. Oh wait, except I saw your twin in a sweaty spandex shirt."

"Oh yeah, he's a messy boy. He has gym class in the morning and doesn't even bother to change his shirt afterwards!" I said. It seemed obvious that the librarian's sarcasm was a precursor of her wrath. At least, that's what it seemed to be.

"Do people confuse you with your twin a lot?" she asked.

"Oh yes, all the time. Some even think we're the same person! Isn't that ridiculous? Ha ha ha hoy hoy hoy!" I guffawed.

The librarian then ended the conversation, and allowed me to stay in the library. Right before the mod bell rang, my older brother entered the library and began to socialize with his friends. She turned to me and asked "Wait. Is that your tw----"? but then she cut herself off and relinquished her suspicion. I then wondered whether it was actually my brother who was ousted from the library, but I quickly refuted this speculation, since my doppelganger was wearing completely different clothes and was hanging out with different people.


My doppelganger has been responsible for several other shenanigans at Niskayuna High School. Throughout my junior year in high school, there have been various reports of a half-Asian teenager causing discord and mischief across Niskayuna who eerily resembles me. Three months ago, I was jogging around Rosendale Elementary School when I spotted him on a tree. We stared at each other for a few seconds, when he finally let out a fiendish giggle and disappeared in the back woods. Although I have not seen him since, I am fully aware that he will strike again.

  1. Wow Giác, this sounds like a major impediment in your daily life! I too have spotted that nasty lookalike boy here and there, and it is a shame that someone so lowly would be mistaken as you. I wish you luck in your handling of this problem! A similar thing happened to my cousin, and at one point she was threatened expulsion for something her "doppelgänger" did. It's a shame when you have to meet your lookalike in such a terrible fashion.
