Chapter 1

Man, I could kill for a cheeseburger!" I exclaimed to my twin sister, who just laughed and continued driving. "I'm serious! I feel as though I haven't eaten in days!"

"Alexis Selena Burrows," she said bringing out the big guns-and my full name- "You scarffed down 5 burritos before we left the airport, which was like 5 minutes ago." She scolded while keeping her eyes on the road. See, that's one of the differences between Ree and I, she was a careful driver, her eyes never leaving the road to look at the scenery, always reading the highway signs, staying in the right lane-only occasional going into the wrong on to pass a car-, never hogging the road and other stuff like that. Were as for me, I'm a road hog. When there are no other cars on the road, I would drive in the middle of the road. When I had people in the car with me, I would talk to them and make eye contact. My eyes roam everywhere, even if I want them to or not. Let's just say I'm ADHD, so my mind skips around a lot and I can't sit still for very long, and I have Bi-Polar...really bad. My sister has ADD and is Bi-Polar, just not as bad as me.

"But Elizabeth Reese Burrows," I said, putting her real first name in because I knew she hated it with a passion, which is why she goes by her middle name, Reese. "I feel as though something's eating me from the insi-"

"Oh look we're here." Ree said, pulling into grandma's driveway. Once she is parked, I unbuckle my seatbelt, ignoring Ree's comment on staying in the car until the key is out of the ignition, run up to the front door, open it and yelled, "Grandmaa!"At the top of my lungs. "I smell food!"

I hear my grandma laugh from the kitchen and I run in to see her pulling out a fresh baked batch of cookies from the oven then turns around. I run up a give her a great big bear hug.

"Oh my goodness how you've grown! How old are you again?" She asked.

"16." I say, still hugging her, as I sneak a cookie and shove it in my mouth. I hug her a little longer to chew and gulp down the cookie. Yum! She makes the best chocolate cookies in California. Seriously, they had a competition and she won.

I pull away to see Ree is just barely entering the kitchen. She gives grandma a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Ree, why don't you go ahead and have a cookie before dinner considering your sister already took one." Grandma says as she looks at me accusingly. I gulp and look down and my feet, mad for letting myself get caught.

Ree grabbed a cookie and waved it under my nose teasingly, before she took a bite. "Thanks Grandma! They're delicious."

"Welcome sweetheart." She said as she ruffled Ree's hair. I started to turn to escape the kitchen and to get the bags from the car, when my grandma called my name.

"Yess?" I asked innocently, slowly turning around to face her.

And then she said it. The question I've dreaded to hear from her: "What the heck did you do to yourself?"

From the sound of her voice I could tell she didn't like it. Hmm...May as well play it off cool. "What are you talking about? This is my everyday look."

"Oh really?" I nod. "Well your old everyday look used to be like your sister's."

"What are you talking about? The only difference is the color."

"Uh huh." She then whips out her camera phone, pushes Ree next to me and snaps a picture. "Does this look like just a color change?" She said holding the phone out so I could see. I bit my lip piercing as I looked at it. No. It does not look like 'just a color change'. My wardrobe was completely different than Ree's.

Ree was wearing a lacey bright pink shirt that didn't expose much but was tight enough to get the right curves showing. She was wearing blue skinny jeans with a bejeweled 'X' on both back pockets. For shoes, she was wearing bright pink flip flops. For make-up all she wore was a little bit of blush and lip gloss. Even without eye shadow her blue eyes still shone. She had no piercings. She left her naturally light brown hair down, but straightened it before we left home. She wore a black flower-to represent her one and only twin-on the left side of her hair.

I was wearing a tight, black shirt with pink roses on the front with the word 'South' going across the chest, and short pink wings sprouting out from the word. On the back are full pink angle wings. I'm also wearing ripped tight black tight skinny jeans with a see through tutu with a lacey rim. For shoes, I had on black air walks with big purple peace signs on the side. On my face I had on a thick, dark layer of black eyeliner, dark purple eye shadow-which, some say, brings out the blue in my eyes- with a trace of hot pink over the top, and my lips were rosemary red. My nose had a small studded diamond in it and my lip piercing was a black ball with purple strips. My dyed black hair with purple tips was flat-iron than pulled into school girl pony-tails. I had a bright pink bow-to represent my one and only twin-in my left pony tail.

I know I looked good or I wouldn't dress like this, but standing next to Ree, I felt like on ogre. I bit my piercing again and looked away. I then mumbled something I hope made sense to them, because it didn't to me. I turned, and walked to the car, popped the trunk and started to grab my suit case when an arm came from the side and grabbed it instead.
