It all started the summer of the year we turned fifteen. The four of us – Kate, Abby, Liz and me – discovered a past none of us even knew about. Well, that's probably because it happened over fifteen years before we were born, but we found out that our mothers had been friends long before we'd even met. And not just friends – they'd been, well, the best of friends.
As for the four of us, well, we met at drama camp. When I think about it, it's a miracle we all ended up going at the same time, considering the circumstances under which we all decided to attend. I went because my parents forced me to; Kate is a natural drama queen and had signed up for it months before the closing date; Abby had gone to get away from her unhappy social life and family back home, and Liz went… well, who knows why Liz went? Some impulsive compulsion of hers, I guess.
But anyway, the point probably is that we rekindled a past that our mothers had torn apart and left behind. And we formed a friendship stronger than any of us had ever known before…
But I guess for you to understand, I'll have to go back to the very beginning. Our first meeting, the discovery of our mothers' secret, and, of course, drama camp…
