I'm going to try to make collages of each of my characters in this book

Noa because she is detached, damaged, and beautiful

Also these girls say momma the same way that I do which is more like saying muh-ma fast

I don't know why I say it like that, I just do

Noa - no ah

Leilani - lay lah nee

Noelani - no eh lah nee
Kekoa - keh koh ah
Pele - peh leh

I don't get it.

I stay quiet and someone would walk up and try to talk to me. Like, obviously I don't want to talk to anyone. I keep to myself and stay out of everyone's way. But guess what? My twin decides that I'm not comfortable in my little system.

She would try to send some people over to be friends with me and I turn them down. Simon only became my friend because he answered my riddle right.

We came up with a riddle a long time ago that helps me figure out if I can be friends with someone.

It works sometimes but very few people can get it right. That works perfect for me because I don't like talking to people.

What I'm saying may make me seem a little antisocial but I don't have the time to talk to people. I have school work to do because I obviously can't work on any of it after school. There is a deadline that was set for me that no one had a choice over.

Anyway, Leilani decided that I should sit with her at lunch. Why? I have no idea. I just know that the whole highschool thinks that twins are the coolest things since sliced bread.

So I was working on my Algebra homework when someone suddenly sat down in front of me.

"Your Leilanis' sister, Noa, right?" I roll my eyes and look up to see bright blue ones staring at me. This guy has got to be kidding me. Unfortunately, his enthusiastic smile was telling me otherwise.

"We're twins. Who else is gonna be her sister?" Obviously, he thought I was gonna be just like my older sister, a happy-go-lucky teenager who let's things go over her head.

Well I'm not. I'm the complete opposite of my sister. We may look alike on the outside but on the inside we're two different people.

"Yeah. I was just trying to make some conversation. You looked lonely." There it is again. I look lonely because I want to be alone.

"Well," I click my pen twice and adjust myself in my seat. "Maybe I want to be lonely. Have you considered that?"

"Well yeah but-"

"But what? I don't need my sister to send guys over here because she thinks I can't make my own friends. She can back out of it. I'm pretty sure you're a cool guy but I don't need her or your pity." I finish off and brush my hair out of my face.

The guy sighed and put his hand forward.

"Matthew Jones. I didn't come over here because Leilani sent me. I came over here because yeah, you looked lonely. But also because I want to get to know you. You seem like a cool girl and I would love to be your friend." I narrow my eyes at his hand before cracking a small smile.
