Leandrea's POV

I shut my locker door with a bang and yawned.

I rarely got sleep these days because of Marlene. She coughed up blood all through the night and I kept waking up in cold sweat cause of my nightmares.

She has to get better. She can't go away.

Dr. Stone had forbidden her from leaving the house and she kicked up a huge fuss about it last night. Surprisingly, she lost.

So with Marlene at home. I was alone.

Not that I minded but you could definitely tell that Marlene's sunshine aura was missing.

That I guess was the only way you could differentiate between the two of us.

Where I preferred to blend in and stay at home with a book...

Marlene was bold.

She was that badass girl of the school who was the captain of the girls football team and who sat at the popular table. She was the life of all those reckless high schools parties and who's presence made a difference.

Now I know what you're thinking, so stop thinking.

She isn't one of those typical high school queens who dress to impress and flirt like there's no tomorrow. No no! We have the Glam Fam - as they call themselves- for that. My sister may have a lot of issues but an ego wasn't one of them.

She was Marlene Taites and everyone loved her.

I am Leandrea Taites, her twin and nobody knows who I am.

I know it's surprising considering how popular Marlene is. But hey! I told you I like to blend in with the crowd! And apparently I do a pretty good job of it too!

After studying in Springfield for almost twelve years, less than half of the school's population knew that The Great Marlene Taites had a twin, even though we look exactly alike

Now I know what you're thinking again, so stop thinking.

No, I'm not jealous of my twin. I just like being invisible. I don't need the limelight and the popularity to make my high school life memorable. I just need good grades and my few friends.

Yes, I have friends. I'm not a total loner okay?

Speaking of friends, where the hell are they?

I walked into my first period: English, and sat on my seat plugging in my earphones and staring outside the window.

I could catch up on some sleep now.

But I guess I spoke too soon.

I felt someone engulf me in a bear hug and I swear I heard some bones cracks as a scent of apples hit me.
