Violet's P.O.V

I walk into the mall and sit down at my favorite restaurant. China Max. I order my food and stare down at my phone. "Hey, Violet." I heard. I look up to see Oscar. I smile.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"What no hey how have you been?" He asked.

"You kissed me to make your ex jealous," I said putting down my phone.

"It was wrong I admit but you have a man now so can we move past that?" He asked. I roll my eyes.

"And that brings me to my question. What do you want?" I asked?

"I need your help." He said.

"Why not ask some helpless girl?" I asked.

"Because you're the only one who looks like Aria." He said. I sighed.

"What?" I asked.

"I need Miguel to listen to me." He said.

"Well talk to him," I said.

"I can't you see he is supposed to think that I'm mad at him. Long story which I will gladly tell you if you say yes." He said.

"Yes? To what?" I asked.

"I need you to pretend your Aria to Miguel." He said.

"You're crazy. He will notice. He and Gale know everything thing different about us. If I even step foot in front of him he will know." I said.

"All you have to do is give him a letter from me. A knock on his door act mad and hand him the letter." He said.

"Why can't Aria do it?" I asked.

"Because she broke up with him." He said.

"Nope, sorry my sis broke up with the guy. I'm not gonna pretend to be her." I said.

"Miguel's life depends on it." He said. I roll my eyes.

"You're so dramatic," I said.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" He asked. I search his face. "Please?" He asked.

"Fine but you owe me," I said. He nods and gets up.

"Will do. Oh, and whatever you do don't go in his house." He said.

"Yeah, I got it," I said.

"Roll your eyes to the left instead of the right, move your shoulders when you laugh and widen your smile to make your dimples deeper." He said. I sighed.

"Thanks," I said. He nods.

"You might want to get light green contacts." He said. I roll my eyes.

"I've got it," I said. He smiles.

"I owe you one." He said. I let out a breath of air as he walks away.

"Aria is going to kill me," I mumbled.

Aria's P.O.V

I hear the door open and close. I look towards it to see Violet. She smiles. "Hey, sis." She said. I smile back.

"Hey, sis," I reply. She walks up to me looking in the kitchen. "Gale and Dad went to the store for food," I replied. She nods.

"I have something I have to do tonight and I need you to distract Gale and dad." She said. I look at her weird.

"But you are supposed to go bowling with them tonight. If you miss out they are gonna think somethings up." I said. She smiles.

"That's why I'm not going to miss." She said. I give her a weird look. "You have to pretend to be me." She said.

"Are you kidding me? Dad and Gale are going to notice I'm not you." I said.

"No, I've got that covered. I picked up some light blue contacts that should make your eyes look like mine." She said handing me them.

"Are you forgetting the other things Gale noticed?" I asked. She smiles.

"When you laugh try not to move your shoulders but put your hand on your stomach, when you roll your eyes do it to the right, and when you smile don't do it so wide. Your dimples won't look so deep." She said.

"Wait what are you going to do tonight?" I asked.

"I have to do something for a friend tonight." She said.

"What if someone sees you and calls Gale or dad?" I ask.

"I've got that covered." She said pulling out some eye contacts. "I'm going to be you." She said.

"Why can't I just do it?" I asked.

"Because you can't. Please, Aria you know I never ask for something like this if it wasn't important." She said. I sigh.

"Fine. Let's go get ready. Dad and Gale are planning on leaving when they get back." I said. She smiles and we walk upstairs. "Get me an outfit you would wear tonight and I'll get you one," I said walking into my too.

An hour goes by and we were done. She looked like me. And I looked like her. She smiles at me. "Damn we're good." She said. I roll my eyes. "Ok now for practice." She said. She rolls her eyes to the left. She practices laughing and then smiles. "I'm Aria Jones." She said. I giggle.

"Its weird hearing you say that," I  said. She giggles.

"Now your turn." She said. I roll my eyes to the right and smile not so wide. I then giggle while putting my hand on my stomach.

"I'm Violet Jones. But you can call me Vie." I said putting my hand on my hip. She smiles.

"Perfect. Now when you are around Gale never stand so close to him. He'll notice your height." She said. I nod and grab my pumps.

"They are 1 inch so anyone who knows us well won't be able to tell," I said. She smiles. "Give me your purse," I said. She hands me her and I hand her mine. We hear the door open downstairs and we stare at each other.

"Ok sis let's go see if our masterpieces work?" Violet said. I nod and we exit the room. We walk down the steps. We walk into the kitchen as they start putting food away. Dad and Gale smile.

"Hey girls," Dad said.

"Hey, daddy." We both say. Gale looks at us for a second. His eyes land on me. I glance at Violet.

"Baby you are looking adorable as ever." He said as he hands dad the milk. I smile as Violet would.

"Thank you," I said. Violet nods.

"Well, I'm out tonight." She said. Dad looks at her.

"Oh, why? Aria I was expecting you to join us." He said.

Oh, believe me, dad. I am.

"I am going over to Rico's tonight." She lied. dad nods.

"Make good choices," Dad said. I roll my eyes. Violet gives me a look. I look at Gale if he noticed. But he was too busy putting food away.

"I will. Vie will you walk me out?" She asked. I nod as she starts walking to the door. She opens it and turns to me. "Don't forget to stay in character."  She said.

"I know," I said. She smiles.

"Oh and don't kiss my boyfriend." She said. I nod.

"Wouldn't dream of it," I said.

"I call Gale Baby so use that. And if he raises his eyebrows that means he's suspects something." She said.

"Good to know." She sighs.

"Good luck." She said.

"Thanks," I said. She walks out and closes the door. I took a deep breath.
