"The hard part of being a star is only getting to shine when the sun's gone away."
Gracelyn "Gracie" Taylor, living infamously to strive for the same level of belovedness as her twin sister, Jackie. Cheer captain, top of her graduating class, volunteering on the weekends- but nothing could quite fill that sense of empty on the inside. the void that you aren't really supposed to talk about with anyone that's not your own train of thought alone in bed at night or in the shower. the kind you pretend doesn't consume you.
I mean sure, Gracie's always had Jackie- they were twin's for God's sake, it's almost like they were destined to exist together. Moon and Sun, Bee and Butterfly, all those things, they'd only ever know life living in comparison to the other. Gracie lacked so much of what Jackie had, the jocky boyfriend, the team of adoring friends- and it was a constant pressure sitting in the pit of her stomach through every match cheering her on, every ride home from another Yellowjackets party- even boarding that plane to nationals for emotional support.
