Thomas rolls his eyes at the comment his brother just made. “Can we go home yet?”

“Thomas! We just got here.” Derek says quickly.

“I was just joking, calm down bro.”

The bell that signals that someone walked through the door chimes, and Anna shouts, “Welcome to Japps, sit anywhere you like.”

Darcie, Kimberly and Sara walk through the door and Sara shouts, tugging on her mom’s arm, “I wanna sit by the window.”

“Go pick one out, silly girl.We are right behind you.” She picks the one right by the door, a few booths away from the one Derek and his family are sitting at. Darcie and Derek are sitting with their backs to each other.”

Anna brings Derek, Thomas and Candice their food, when she notices Darcie, “Hey, what are you doing here on your day off?”

“I didn’t feel like cooking, why, are you tired of me already?” I joke.

Anna comes to their table and takes their orders. Darcie ordered her usual BLT with fries, child’s chicken finger platter for Sarah and a cheeseburger with fries for Kimberly.

“Are you sure I am not intruding on you?”

“Darcie, for the last time, I would not have offered if I did not want to. You are fine.Stop worrying.”

Easy for you to say. “Okay, I promise I will drop it.”

Anna brings them their food and they dive in.

Derek gets up to go to the counter, located by the door, to pay their bill.

Something about him looks familiar. “Hey, Kimberly, have you noticed him around here before?”

“No, why?”

“He looks familiar.”

“How can he look familiar, you have only been here for less than a week?”

“I don’t know, but he does.” Why does he look familiar? This is going to bug me.

Derek finishes paying for the bill, turns around and walks towards the booth where his mom and brother are, and notices that Darcie is staring at him. He stops and stares back. His mom and brother see he is done paying and gets up to meet him at the door. “Derek, you ready to see the waterfalls?” Candice asks him.

“Oh, yeah, I am coming,” Derek says.

Derek! No, it can’t be.He has to be a different Derek.

“Darcie, Jude made changes to the schedule, he has you on the opening shift.”

“That’s fine,” I reply to Anna, still in a shock, I might be looking at my twin brother. I turn to Derek and ask, “Can that really be you?”

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
