Reckless is one of the words that could describe Maricruz. Her whole life she has been a troublemaker, but now it is time to become "mature" as her parents said. Doing the tour around the world by being kicked out of almost every school she stepped...

I sat there, on a sofa in our living room, numb and quiet. Mom yelled as dad didn't even care to raise his voice. Yes, they were furious, but I know they will forgive me.
They always do.
It is my fault, I made that choice. I wonder why did they find out about that now, I thought the school would call them the second I exited through the doors.
"I thought we raised you better, Maricruz." there it was, I have been waiting for this whole night. I shot my eyes up as I clenched my fists and stood up. I glared at my mom, who gave the 'sit down' look.
"How dare you say that? You didn't raise me, Sonia did!" I decided to let it all out, I don't even give a fuck about it anymore, "Maybe if you worried about your children more, instead of always working away, we wouldn't be that fucked up after all."
My mom avoided my eyes, knowing I'm right. Even if Marisol was the perfect daughter, being raised by nannies still affected her as well. They were perfectly aware of that. And I knew this talk is not going to make any difference at all, they are still going to go on a trip in a couple of hours.
"Now excuse me, dear parents, but I have homework to do." I exited the living room with my head high. I mean it wasn't a lie, I had a tone of homework, and I cared about my grades because I knew it is the only reason why my parents allowed me to act this way all this time.
I noticed Marisol sitting on the stairs, she was probably listening to our conversation. She didn't talk to me from that day, and for past three days she has been avoiding me in here. Which wasn't hard considering how huge our home was.
I did hear Marisol fight with someone one day in her room, though I don't know why. She was furious and I needed to know what happened to her, why she changed so much.
Kadie and Hayley sat with me when we had lunch, it would be a lie if I told you I wasn't enjoying their company, they helped me to get my mind of all of my problems.
"You shouldn't have said that," Marisol spoke, looking in my eyes.
I sighed, I mean I get what she means but I acted on impulse, "And you know I am right." I continued the walk to my room. I noticed her by my side, walking with me and as we reached my room she stopped.
"You know, I forgive you now." she smiled and I felt a burden has been lifted from my heart. I embraced her, her strawberry shampoo entering my nose. It always relaxed me, it was like I was safe in her arms because I knew I wasn't alone.
"Thank you." I whispered in her ear.
"But you are still going to have to work hard for us to get back the way we were," she looked me sternly and I nodded, " I am not going to let this slide this easy."
"Okay." I shook my head and went to do my homework.
I was glad that she decided to give me a chance, I mean I expected it, we are twins after all. But still, these last three days seemed a lot longer time than two years. Maybe that was because we weren't on miles apart, but only two doors away.
