<Alyson>
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALY!" I hear someone yell. I sit up in my bed and hug my sister Sam. "Samantha get off your sister!" mom exclaims. I laugh as my mom kisses me on the cheek and says happy birthday. Today's the day. The day I finally turn eighteen. I've been waiting for this day for so long. I get out of bed and go to the kitchen. I'm about to get breakfast when my best friend Avalyn jumps at me. "Happy Birthday Boo!" she screams. I hug her and ask her, "Why are you here at 6 in the morning?" "Doesn't matter because I got you a present!" she yells. "Avalyn you know you didn't-" I get cut off. "Yes I did so shut up" she says. Suddenly she pulls out a beautiful red dress. Well half red. the top is red and the skirt part is pink with flowers. "IT'S SO PRETTY!" I yell. She smiles and drags me to my room. She curls my hair and puts it in a half-up and half-down look. I put on mascara, liner and powder along with some light pink lipstick. Make up is unusual for me. My mom lets me borrow her pink heels and I grab my backpack. It's a new look for me. I usually wear jeans with a tank top, flats and a hoodie, but Avalyn seemed so excited I gave it a shot. I actually kind of like it. We walked to the bus stop together after breakfast.
"So I have a new plan to know if Logan likes me" Ava says as we walk. "Oh my god not again" I laugh. "No this plan will work trust me" she says. "Ok let's hear it" I sigh. "Yay ok. Well I'm going to text him and ask him to play 20 questions. After a couple I'm going to ask him if he likes anyone. Then he's going to ask me the same question because you know that's how you play, anyways then I'm going to answer with "yea you"" she says with finger quotes, "then if he says something bad like "oh I don't feel that way" then I'll answer with "sorry I meant "yea comma you"" After she finishes, I shake my head. "What? What's wrong?" she asks. "Ava it won't work, you would have already asked him first so you're answer wouldn't make sense" I explain. "You always find a flaw with my plans don't you?" she asks. I nod and smile. "It's kinda cold" Ava says as she shivers. "Well it's April in New York it's gonna be cold" I say, "and you still forced me to wear this dress" "I'm sorry I didn't think it'd be this cold" she defends herself.
I turn to fix my backpack straps and my phone falls out of my hand. "Great" I say as I pick it up. It's cracked. I groan and sit at the bench near our bus stop. I turn it on and luckily it still works. "Aly that's like the third phone you break" Avalyn says as she takes it from my hand. "I know and it sucks because I know my mom isn't that rich and we're tight on money right now and I don't want her to have to buy me a new one because she's already bought me three and I think I'll just deal with it for now and ugh" I rant on and I'm pretty sure Avalyn wasn't even listening. "Ava!" I say as I wave my hand in front of her face.
"Earth to Avalyn"
"Avalyn Johnson! Your best friend is talking to you"
"Avalyn Rose Johnson" I say as I slap her. "OW!" she yells as she touches her cheek. "I didn't even hit you that hard" I roll my eyes. "Whatever it still hurts" she says. What were you daydreaming about?" I ask. She starts blushing really hard. "The bus is here gotta go!" she exclaims as she drags me to the corner and we get on the bus. We sit near the back since those are the only seats available. No one pays much attention to us. I throw my backpack on the seat and hold out my hand, "My phone Ava" "Oh right" she looks up and hands it to me. "Oh god Aly" she sighs. "What?" I ask. She points to my wrists. Well crap. My scars were showing. Yes I used to self-harm, but I've been 4 months clean so far. "Ava I need to hide these" I say. No one really knows about that except Ava and I'd like to keep it that way. "Here" she says as she takes out what seems to be a hoodie. "Ava that doesn't look good with my outfit" I say pointing to the dark grey hoodie. "You don't have to put it on, just put it over your wrists and keep it there to hide the scars" she explains. "Good idea" I say and wrap it around my wrists. She smiles and laughs, "What would you do without me?" "Honestly, I don't know" I respond and start examining my cracked phone as Ava reads a book during the bus ride.

Avalyn and I hop off the bus and walk towards out lockers. As were walking Logan comes over and bumps into Avalyn. "Oh sorry Ava" he says as he picks up her book. She smiles, "It's ok it was my fault" He smiles as he hands her book to her. He turns to look at me and says, "Oh I didn't see you, happy birthday Alyson" "Thanks Logan" I respond. "Shall we walk to first period?" he asks us. "Sure" Avalyn replies. He links his arms with Ava and I and the three of us walk towards math. We walk in and sit in our usual seats.

Hey guys. Sorry this one was shorter, but I didn't know what to write.
I changed Marina's name to Avalyn because I liked a bit more and also I changed the title to "She's my twin" because it makes more sense and you'll realize that as the story progresses.
