Help! I've Been Cloned!

Random fact about Kassy: I have a look-alike at my university.

Now, I know we all get mixed up with other people from time to time. Could happen to anyone. What convinces me that I really do have a look-alike is the skepticism on people's faces when I tell them that I'm not this girl.

She's apparently my year, too, or pretty close to it, because I first heard about her during my very first semester at my job at the campus bookstore(my freshman year) and just heard about her again last week(I am now a junior).

Freshman year, I was checking out textbooks to some guy, who did a double take, got all excited, and said, "You live at the BSU, right?!" Up until that second, I hadn't even known that people could live at the Baptist Student Union - I thought it was just like a meeting place or something. Anyway, I denied it. He looked at me like I was trying to play a trick on him and said, "No...you're Whitney's roommate, right?" I have never had a roommate named Whitney or anything remotely close, so I denied it again. In jest, I commented, "Maybe I have a look-alike or something." I'm beginning to think that I was more right than I suspected.

Sophomore year, I met a guy named Sam in my Spanish class. We talked a little bit, back and forth, and he seemed nice enough. About a month in, he asked me, "Hey, are you in any math classes this semester?" I wasn't, and told him this. He looked confused. "Oh, so you're not in algebra?" Well, no, that would be a math class, wouldn't it? I answered no. "That would explain it..." Apparently my look-alike is in his algebra class, and she always reacted a little strangely when he said hello. He'd wondered why I was being unfriendly. Sam is now one of my best friends, and we joke about this every now and then.

You get the idea. Some guy in the library last spring asked if I was in his sociology class, and I'm not even entirely sure what sociology is. Last week, I was checking out some guy's books, and after some hesitation and sideways glances, he asked if I'd taken a biology lab last semester, which I had not. I've gotten accustomed to saying, "No, but I do have a look-alike at this school. It may have been her." One of my coworkers pointed out that the same thing probably happens to her, and she's probably sick of being asked questions about renting textbooks.

Hello? Look-alike? Come out, come out, wherever you are.
