WHO AM I?

Chapter One ~Why?~

Skyla’s POV:

My names Skyla Nightshade, weird name i know...mum said she called me Skyla cos i was born on a really nice spring day and that my eyes reminded her of the sky and sea. I have long straight chocolate brown hair, a really soft olive skin tone and eyes “as mesmerizing as the sapphire ocean” or so everyone tells me. I guess i’m just an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life with an extremely ordinary family.

Oh yeah I guess i forgot to mention, today isn’t just a normal boring day instead it’s better! it’s a very important day that everyone gets to celebrate sometime during what ever day or month they were born...yup...it’s my 16th birthday well... me and my twin Lyla’s 16th birthday. Luckily people can tell Lyla and I apart from each other as Ly has emerald green eyes, and long straight jet black hair (always reminds me of the night sky then again her name means night). My mum really does love unique names...I hope she wasn’t on anything when it came to naming us that or my mum just picks simple names relating to something. As my name means Sky and my sisters means Night.

Anyways I remember the day when my sister and I were about 5 and told my mum how we wanted to watch a broadway show on our 16th and sure enough mum and dad got us the best viewing tickets to Wicked the musical!! You see my sister and I absolutely love preforming and we go to an amazing Preforming Arts School in NYC. I want to be a great actor when i’m older and Lyla has a voice of an angle, she always goes on of how she’s gonna get a record and preform in front of crowds and raise money for charity events. You see our parents own their own business called “Nightshade enterprises” and we’re one of the wealthiest families in the entire state. Mum and dad have always supported Lyla and I with whatever we do, and since we love helping charities, each month we hold a massive fundraiser in Central park and it’s the best!...I haven’t really asked my parents what they do with their job...then again i’m not really interested. 

I was so excited for today until my dear old rents dropped the bomb shell on us saying we had to go to school for the day and couldn’t just skip because it was our birthday...damn there annoying at times!.

Lyla’s POV:

“C’mon Sky were gonna miss the train...again!” why must my sister always be a drag along always making me freaking late and getting in trouble from my teachers. Just because it was our birthday. Hmm I don’t remember the last time i saw Skyla this happy, i wish she knew the truth. I wish i could stop hiding the fact that were not actually twins...sure we were born on the same day but she’s not even the real daughter of my parents. I wonder when mum and dad are gonna tell her...if they tell her. How would you tell someone something like that? “hey guess what your not my daughter your adopted” ? nah thats just weird. I wonder who her parents really are cause they sure are missing our on a beautiful and talented daughter. 

“Lyla...” did someone just call me name?  “LYLA!!” Sky screamed in my ear. “Shit! do you really have to scream??” damn that really hurt my ears. “Well duh...what where you day dreaming about?  you looked extremely lost in thought.” did i seriously look like that? crap...”umm nothing i was just thinking....of how LATE were gonna be if we miss that train!” good save Lyla...good save.

~20 mins later~

Through the whole train ride I couldn’t stop thinking how Skyla has honestly not picked up on anything about us. I mean c’mon we don’t even look alike! She has amazing sapphire eyes and i have emerald green, she has brown hair and i have black hair. I wonder if she has picked up on anything but is keeping quiet about it...

Skyla’s POV:

Ly seems so distracted today...is she hiding something from me? I hope not. “Ly you ok? u seem...well look distracted?” i said cautiously incase it’s nothing and she’s just PMSing...
