"Diría que desde el incidente, ella había cambiado debido . . . a eso o algo más?"

"No, inspector. After the accident, it was hard for all of us, but Alaska . . . she shut down. Things were never the same, honestly, I couldn't keep up with her new personality . . . and I'm her twin brother."

When Alejandro Velasquez left the front doors to the car park to head towards his Bimmer tired as ever later that day, there was only one thing on his mind. The gym.

Often his sister would ask him how he could possibly claim he was tired everyday after school, but as soon as he dropped her home, he was switching his Valentinos for Nikes. He always responded that school tired was never the same as gym tired. 

She never understood. 

Alejandro had been actively going to the gym for nearly two years . 

What he told everyone, was that he found passion in the gym randomly. It was something he wanted to try out, and that it just so happens that he liked it the first few times he tried it. This is what he told everyone.

Though he'd never admit it, Alaska knew that it was because he had stopped playing tennis when he found it hard to play knowing that he wanted to pull away from Ander after everything that happened. He needed some other sort of exercise. Just so happens that he ended up liking the gym. More specifically, boxing. 

She understood.

This was a good thing for him however. He was healthier physically as well as mentally, he had an outlet whenever he wasn't feeling particularly himself, and not to forget how much his body had changed.  That factor was "shockingly" popular around the females and the amount of attention he got from them. With his physique, curly sandy hair and bright blue eyes, and overall amazingly friendly personality, it was no wonder why he was the more approachable, popular twin. Alaska didn't mind though. She never liked the attention anyway.

Alejandro slung his backpack behind him after getting out his sunglasses. He waited out by his car, on his phone, while he waited for Alaska to exit as well. 

He wasn't waiting that long, because about three minutes after she was exiting the doors, but not alone. Alejandro was perplexed. 

Alaska walked out, a somewhat half smile on her face strolling next to a brunette girl with slightly curly hair. When Alejandro focused slightly more, she saw that it was Nadia, the new student from his class.

A smile of his own made it's way onto his face at the sight of his little (by twelve minutes) sister make her way towards his car on her usual route but this time not alone. 

"Are you ready?" he asked as she neared closer enough to hear him.

"I'm going to walk today." 

Alejandro was yet again, perplexed.

"Que?"

"Nadia lives in the town so I'll just walk her home and then come home myself because its on our way." she replied somewhat with a low tone.

"Actually, we have to take the bus to my house." Nadia looked to her.

"Oh . . . well I guess I'll get the bus with Nadia home, and then walk home from there." she concluded.
