~Chapter 1~~Laylah~

"Arriving Flights: Nepal to The UK" Called out the loudspeakers. Oh yeah!! *swaaagalicious*. My amazing twinnie sis would be coming, at last!! I wondered how her trip to Nepal was. I didn't really want to go, I got homesick easily and the I'm-about-to-run-into-the-bathroom-and-throw-up-I'll-just-be-out-in-thirty-minutes-or-so sick. I wasn't the outgoing and home-is-so-boring girl my twin sister, Leelah, was. I'm happy to see Jade again as well; I'd like her to show me her tips on fashion and makeup anytime soon now. My sister never wore makeup, just the occasional once-every-two-weeks lip gloss and mascara. She liked anything simple and anything that clicked with her personality perfectly. Although I don't see why she wore mascara? Her eyelashes were a beautiful deep brunette, long compared to my short ones. I was blonde with blue yes, she was brunette with hazel eyes. But our face structure was the same, but we were non identical twinnies. Everyone knew me as the girly-girl: Dresses, skirts, bright colours and the latest makeup styles. Leelah was the girl who looked simply was stunning in her skinnies and short-sleeved or long-sleeved tops and sweaters, or hoodies. Her legs were just too skinny, and she was pretty skinny, considering all the sporty activities she did. I couldn't wait to see Joe as well. He was a brother to my sister, but something a lot more different to me. Yeah, probably anyone would get that, excluding Leelah and Joe. Jade knew, though. She knew from Day One. She knows a lot, without all the girly magazines (what Leelah calls it, but it's the useful stuff) about boys. Leelah says she will never get married or find a guy. I tell her there's always a guy for every lucky and deserving girl in the world. This will be cheesy; I hope Joe is mine.

At that moment of thought, Leelah and her friend's plane joint with the long hall way that entered the waiting area. With a few metallic bangs and a few seconds people came running and speed-walking out. Not normal walking, just speed-walking or running. I fixed my hair and applied a bit more lip gloss in my little mirror thingy... I never knew the name to it,

As quick as a beam of blindingly beautiful sunlight, the three most important people came bounding into the waiting area, along with their truckloads of luggage, and bags which had paper and bubble-wrap sticking out of them. Supposedly souvenirs and gifts, for themselves and us. Joe hadn't changed a bit, but I can swear he had grown a good few inches, Jade had dip-dyed her hair (first time, by the way) brown, a  lighter shade than Leelah's. But no one could dye their hair is dark as Leelah's, I wish I had her hair, but I take after mum. I had to dye my flipping blonde eyebrows, so I didn't have to look like I didn't have any eyebrows. Ugh. Anyway, Jade's hair actually looked pretty funky, despite the fact that she had told me lots of times to never wear anything that would clash too much. I can tell you, Strawberry-blonde and brunette was an excellent example of clash. Well, people change.

I bounced up and ran towards my sister, my arms were outstretched and wide. She dropped her bags, and wore the exact same replica of my wide smile and hugged me tight.

"Oh, I missed ya sooooo much. It was boring without your constant yelling!!" I said, giggling a bit.

"I did too, little sis. I did too" She replied, nuzzling into my hair.

"Hey!" I said, pulling away. "You're only twenty-two hours older than me!" I said, smiling and playfully hitting her arm. She smiled and simply said "Whatever."

"Ah-hemm." Joe and Jade said, simultaneously. "Are we invisible?" Joe said, with that cute crooked smile he seemed to possess since the day I met him... I'm going off into Dreamland, aren't I?

"No, you're completely visible!" I squealed, and hugged him, then moved onto Jade.

"How was Nepal and Himalayas?" I questioned.

Jade smiled and parted her lips. Before she could utter a single letter, Joe's mother said "Let's have a little reunion at mine? Jade, bring you're mother and father... you too, Leelah! Everyone, come at seven." Without hearing a confirmation, or even a negotiation, she said: "Good, see you there!" Then took Joe by the arm and spun off.
