Chapter 1

Even today is the day Wooyoung drives us to school. For the last two weeks, I had to hurry with the packaging, because San's car broke down, and I would fall asleep almost every day. Dad went to work early in his car, so I got stuck with San and his best friend again. Maybe when we fix the car I should consider the fact that I get behind the wheel alone and drive to school, because San scolds and hurries me every morning.

"Lora if you're not ready in a minute Wooyoung and I are leaving without you" my twin brother yells from the hallway upstairs, and then I hear him coming down the stairs.

"I'm coming for God's sake"  I shout, putting on another sneaker as I jump to the steps, and then I try not to fall through them as I rush to the door. Locking the door, I put the key in my backpack pocket, then turn around knowing that Wooyoung's car is already in front waiting for us. I open the door and sit in the back seat while he laughs at San's irritated face.

"You're late again, little Korean girl" I look at him sideways, because I don't like the nickname he calls me all the time. San and I are twins, except we don't look like alike at all. At least not as much as the twins should look alike. Even if we weren't twins, we still wouldn't look alike. The thing is, our mother is white and our father is Korean. San obviously looks like dad, while I look like mom. I don’t know how it happened that the twins are so similar and yet different, but in most cases it bothers me that I look different from the others. San was always the one who fit in nicely with the company, while I always stood out from the same and spent most of my time alone. Mostly everyone would tease me about my white origin, as if San and I don't have the same mother.

"Don't call me that..." my mood deteriorated even more, reminding me how many people don’t see me as one of them. They sees only one ordinary girl of white origin. A reason to tease and improve their mood at school. His comment silenced me the whole drive to school.

Getting out of the car, I slammed the door, not wanting to address either of them. It annoys me when San lets Wooyoung to tease me, taking no action about it, even though he knows how much it bothers me that I’m different.

"One 'thank you' would be enough, Lora" i hear his voice behind me, but i don't care. I will never thank him, after teasing me.

Instead of the ‘thank you’ he wants so badly to hear, I show him my middle finger and continue towards my locker, to get ready for the first class. I know, if Dad had seen this, I would have been insulted, but since he's not here, I'm free to retaliate.

The first two classes have passed, and I go to the canteen for lunch. I thought I was going to have lunch on the roof by myself today, but when I saw Jenny, I sat across from her, carrying carrot and banana milk on a tray.

"Can that thing on your plate even be called a meal?" she asks with a disgusted expression on her face, which makes me smile, knowing how much she hates carrots.

"Of course it can, carrots are healthy for sight, and you know I adore banana milk" i say with a smile and joy in my voice, because i'm not eating alone today.

Jenny is my best friend and currently the only person who accepts me as I am. She doesn't mind that I don't look like everyone else, and she doesn't tease me about my mom. Sometimes she calls me 'little white girl', but I don't mind, because I know she means it from the heart.

Although I love her very much, some would say that she is problematic for our social standards. Jenny loves to skip school and have fun in many ways. She is a big fan of parties and going out with guys is something she is quite familiar with. While it is an unknown side of the book to me. And now, as I sit across from her, I can see the dark circles under her eyes, which indicate a sleepless night. Again.
