"It is actually quite disconcerting," Melanie said as she looked at the woman who could have easily passed for her twin.
"I'd say creepy," Adam muttered under his breath as he shifted uncomfortably in the back of the classroom. "I mean, she looks too much like you. It's not just a resemblance—it's like someone copied and pasted your face."
"You just think this is creepy because you're sitting in a school again," Melanie replied, her voice laced with amusement. "That's all this is—a coincidence. A strange one, yes, but still a coincidence."
Adam shook his head slightly. "I don't like coincidences. Never have. Are you absolutely sure you don't have a long-lost twin lurking around somewhere?"
Melanie scoffed. "Of course I'm sure. I think I would've noticed someone walking around with this face," she said, gesturing vaguely at herself. Then, checking the paper in her hand, she added, "Alright, next up is us. Come on. Let's act like everything is normal."
