Stella was shipped off to a boarding school for troubled kids after her foster parents died. For the next seven years, that is where she's been, but she's back, and things are not the same as they were before.

In order to avoid turning into a total loser, my brother felt it would be better for me to get to know some new people before starting school. So, we're at the mall to meet his friends, and because I need to buy some new clothes for school.
"I don't wanna be here." I say still cranky with how he woke me up this morning.

This morning...
I hear the shrill sound of pots and pans being slammed together, quietly ignoring my brothers attempts to wake me up. On the other hand, I could tell him that for years I've been trained to wake up early to do chores like cleaning dishes, mopping floors, etc. However, that would be too easy for him, and now that I have the chance, I want to stay in bed for a while.
"GET UP!" I hear him yell at the top of his lungs.
"NO," I say defiantly. Then, somehow, the door opens.
"How did you?-" I ask while he walks over to my bedside.
"Get your ass up."
"No." I said, crossing my arms above my chest like a little kid in a huff. We give each other the old western stare down. Before he dragged me out of bed. Me kicking and screaming in the process, he's stronger than before but I put up a good fight biting his hand and kicking him in the shins.

"You don't really have a choice, do you?" He said it with a bitter look on his face."Not all of them could come, so it's just the six of us for now." A smile creeps up on my lips in satisfaction as I glance over at his hands to see him rubbing the left one that I bit. We get to the food court, and apparently that's where we're meeting his friends. Scott pulls out his phone to check a text, then looks around the food court.
"They're over there," He says a lot more excited about this then I am. He starts to walk over in a direction and I followed. I saw two girls and another two guys standing over by a wall.
"Hey, guys." They looked over at Scott, and the two guys gave him that guy handshake thing and gave the 2 girls side hugs.
"This is my sister Stella."
"Hi," I say. It sounds softer, almost like honey, in complete contrast to my typical deep, monotone natural voice.
"Hey,"
"Hi," they say with smiles.
"Scott, you never said that you had a little sister." One of the guys said, I give Scott the (What is he talking about?) look.
"Oh no, no, she's my older twin sister."
"Twin!?" they all say in unison with shocked looks on there faces.
"Yeah, twin. Did I never tell you guys?"
"With how shocked they are, I don't think you did." I said with my voice going back to its natural state, completely gone at this point.
