Hi guys! So, I've started watching Twisted and good lord, I'm addicted! Besides, who doesn't like Avan Jogia? Anyway, here's my new Twisted story, so I hope you enjoy it. There's links to what Leilani looks like and her outfit on my profile, so go take a peek!

-Bria :)

I woke up to the sound of Lacey's stupid pop music blaring from her iHome, in her room next to mine. Groaning, I rolled over to see that it was 7:30, meaning that I should have been up half an hour ago to get ready for school. Hopping out of bed, I walked over to my closet and picked out an outfit for the day: a black and white sweater with skulls, a white crop top, and a pair of ripped jeans with the bottoms cuffed. Grabbing a pair of open toe heels, I slipped them on and ran to the bathroom. Looking at myself in the mirror, I sighed. I wasn't as pretty as my sister Lacey in my opinion, even though we were fraternal twins. I washed my face and brushed my teeth, before straightening my curly hair.

Luckily, my keys were already in my bag, so I didn't have to waste 10 minutes searching for them like I usually do. I walked out of my room at the same time as Lacey and she stared at me for a while before going downstairs. The look in her eyes suddenly brought me back to reality: today was the day that Danny Desai was coming back.

I kissed my parents on the cheek before I walked out to my car, a 2010 Honda Civic. Lacey left before me, as usual, since she didn't want to be seen with me. You see Lacey and I had the best relationship that twin sisters could have, until the incident with Danny. After he was taken away, Jo, Lace, and I got teased for being the best friends of a murderer. I was shy and soft spoken, so I got the worst of it, but Lacey would defend Jo and I. She was always the more outgoing one, and that helped her to get out of her rut.

She had to become someone she wasn't to escape the ridicule. So, over the last five years, she became a bitch and made her way to the top of the food chain instead of being the bait. I chose to stay true to myself and just take the ridicule and hated looks with a strong heart and mind. Nothing they could say would break me. Lacey and I were polar opposites now; nothing could be the same. I had two friends, she had many; I got straight A's, she skimmed by; I listened to rock music; she listened to pop; the list goes on and on.

On my way to school, I passed the Desai house, seeing the police cars and the news crew there made it all real. Danny was actually here, and I would actually get to see him again after all this time. The thought made me happy, but I was also still cautious. Would he be the same Danny? Shaking my head, I lightly hit my head. What a stupid question, Lani. Of course he wouldn't be the same. I wouldn't either after five years in Juvie for murder. Parking my car, I got out and quickly made my way inside to my locker. Just as I thought, Jo was standing there waiting for me. I smiled, as I got closer to her, throwing my hands over her eyes.

"Really, Lani? What are we, five?" She asked, laughing. I chuckled as I took my hands down and went to open my locker. "So, are you ready?" She asked in full seriousness.

"I think so. I passed by his house and there were TV news crews and police cars outside. I just hope that he's doing okay."

"I'm sure he's fine. He's always been tough, so this shouldn't faze him too much."

"Yeah, but I wonder what made his mother want to come back here of all places? If I were Danny, I'd-"

"You'd what?" Lacey's voice cut through my sentence like a knife.

"Well, before I was rudely interrupted, I was saying that if I were Danny, I'd never agree to come back here," I said, slightly glaring at my sister.

She shrugged before nodding at Jo. "How are you holding up?" Jo simply stared at her before closing her locker and look at me. "Look, I just wanted to know if you've been having those dreams again…about that day."

Ah, there it is. Lacey was actually nervous about Danny coming back. Jo shook her head, letting us know that she hadn't been having the dreams that Lacey had.

"Well, I've been having them, about the way he held that yellow jump rope."

"Red!" Jo suddenly yelled out. "It was a red jump rope, not a yellow one," she said in a softer tone. So, she has been having the dreams. I laughed softly at her.

"Whatever. Anyway, even though it's no your type of scene, Regina is having a party tonight…if you two want to come."

Jo just shrugged and I nodded at her. "We'll think about it." As she got ready to walk away, the front doors of the school opened, and sooner than I thought I would, I saw Danny walk in. He'd definitely changed over the last few years; puberty did him well. He was wearing a dark blue denim jacket over a cream colored shirt, dark blue jeans, and boots. His hair had gotten long and was pulled back into a low bun. I also noticed a light mustache adorned his upper lip. His skin, a lovely tan color made him stand out and his demeanor seemed dark, but not menacing. Dark eyes scavenged the halls until they met mine, then landing on Jo and Lacey. He made a quick beeline over to us, smiling.

"Boo." I smiled at him softly, which he returned, but it quickly went away when Lacey glared and left, and Jo just stood there looking dumb.

"What's up with her?" He asked. Jo stayed silent, so I rolled my eyes.

"You have a lot to catch up on, Danny," I said grabbing the schedule from his hands and peering down at it.
