When I walked into first period, Becca was waiting for me at our table.

"What're you doing tonight?" She asked as I sat down.

I shrugged and responded, "Probably just hanging out with my sister or something. Why?"

"Alright, cancel that. Lets go to the café and hang." She told me.

I smiled, "Sure, that sounds chill and I need out of the house for a bit."


"Meet you at the flagpole right after school." She whispered as our teacher began to teach the lesson.

The day went by super slowly. I was bored out of my mind in every class and felt like I already knew all the information that was being taught to me. I guess smaller class sizes at my old school allowed us to zoom through all the lessons. I rushed to fifth hour in order to avoid Josh and just kept thinking more about Becca and hoping she would turn out to be an okay friend since she was basically the only person who seemed to like me in school.

When the day finally ended, I rushed out to the flag pole and found her waiting for me. She led me to her car and she drove us to a cute little café in town. I ordered a coffee and we sat down at a tall table near the windows.

"So, what's it all like? Finding out you have a new family and all. Like, how are you doing?" She asked.

I was a bit taken aback, no one had really asked me how I was doing. It was just, you're living here, you're not seeing your parents anymore, you're transferring schools and this is you're brother and sister, this is your new mom and dad, this is your grandma and grandpa. No one ever paused for me.

"Well," I began, "it's weird obviously. Like you would never expect to go to a party with your best friend and boyfriend to find your twin sister and learn your parents are actually criminals. I guess I'm coping just as well as you could imagine. Kind of sucks not really having my friends though. All I've got supporting me are Jacob and Elizabeth." 

Becca responded, "Yeah, that's like so trippy. I mean I honestly wouldn't care if I found out I had different parents but for someone who's close to theirs it would be weird."


I raised my eyebrows at her in confusion, "What do you mean?"


"My parents and I have never really been close. They're always gone traveling and just leave me at home with some cash thinking it's fine. I enjoy the space and freedom sometimes but it gets really lonely though because I have no siblings and no one at school really gets me." She confessed.

"Wow, I totally get that. I never had siblings until I found out about Jacob and Elizabeth but even still I feel sort of alone. I feel like my new parents expected me to be different. It's like they know I'm biologically their daughter, but since they didn't raise me they don't know me." I spilled out to her.

"Well," she smiled, "I think you're totally badass."

We both laughed like idiots at how sappy we had gotten. A few people in the café gave us dirty looks for being so obnoxiously loud but we just didn't care.

When we finally stopped laughing I wiped a tear from my eye from laughing so hard, "Did we just become best friends?"


She held out her pinky finger and nodded, "Yup, best bitches til the end."

I smiled and locked pinkies with her, another piece of my life coming together.

Becca and I decided to head back to her house for awhile after the café to be able to just sit and talk in private about our lives. I learned more about her life, she was really passionate about art and used it to cope with being alone all the time. We also discovered we had the same taste in music so we had a mini dance party in her living room. Overall, I just felt normal, which is not a feeling I thought I would ever feel again.
