Althea
Hey, everybody. I've got some
bad news.

Felix
You're telling everybody as a
GROUP?

Althea
Yeah, sure. Why not? Easiest
just to get it done now.

Emma
What's the bad news?!

Ava
What happened, Thea?

Liam
What news?

Alexander
I don't like the sound of "bad."

Althea
Shush and I'll tell you!

Alexander
Shushing.

Ava
Tell us, Thea!

Althea
I'm moving to England.

Alexander
WHAT?

Felix
That's what I said!

Liam
WHY?

Felix
I said that, too.

Emma
No!

Ava
No, don't go!

Althea
I don't have much of a choice, really.

Emma
Why are you moving?!

Althea
You guys...I have a brother. That I
didn't know existed. A twin. We were
born in France and people thought
he died and my family left but he was
alive and my parents knew about it
since I was less than a month old and
have only seen fit to tell me NOW, at
fourteen.

Alexander
W O W . That is, like, the worst secret
EVER to keep.

Althea
TELL ME ABOUT IT!

AvaSo...what are you gonna do?

Althea
The only thing I can do. Move to
Salisbury with my parents and meet
my brother.

Felix
I can't believe you have a twin.

Emma
I can't believe you have to leave us!!!!

Althea
I don't want to!

Liam
How long do you have?

Althea
Two weeks...

Emma

Alexander
How are you gonna spend your
two weeks?

Althea
With you guys. My parents told me I
have both two weeks to myself, except
for four days for packing.

Althea
If these are gonna be my last days with
you guys, I'm gonna make it count.
