Chapter 1Copycat Love

There’s a copycat in my dorm.

If I wear purple, she wears purple.

If I wear green, she wears green.

She even bought the exact same backpack as me.

I finally snapped and had a huge fight with her about it.

The next day, I was scrolling online and saw this post:

[I’d walk through a wall for a straight girl, and she calls me a clone sheep.]

Looking at the post’s author, located only 10 feet away from me, I started to reconsider everything.

Something is wrong with my roommate.

Very wrong.

She’s always wearing the same clothes as me, buying the same bags, and just a minute ago, she asked for the link to the socks I was wearing.

This is not normal.

Once is a coincidence. Twice is an accident. Three times is fate. But what about the fourth time? The fifth? The one hundred and eleventh?

Worst of all, people have started mixing us up.

My best friend, Maya, slung an arm around my shoulders, her face twisted in confusion. “You two are starting to look way too similar.”

I couldn’t blame her. This was the eighth time she’d mistaken Clara for me from behind.

I stared at the back of my roommate’s head, a figure that looked like it could be my twin. A wild thought sparked in my mind.

Could it be… she wants to replace me?
