Sofiya's point of view:

Dear Diary,

Today will be different. It has to be. I will smile and it will be believable. My smile will say,"I'm fine, thank you. Yes, I feel much better." I will no longer be the sad little girl who had lost her parents. I will start fresh. Be someone new. It's the only way i'll make it through.

I shut my diary and slide off of my bed. I look in the mirror and exhale a deep breath. I can do this. I fix my bouncy, loose curls and grab my bag to meet my twin sister, Elena, at the door. I give her a small smile to reassure her that everything will be okay. I mean, I have to. I'm the fun, sassy, bubbly one. I will be the only one to make sure that this family of mine won't crumble apart like it already has.

Elena and I begin getting out our coffee mugs to energize ourselves for the day.

"Toast, I can make toast!" my aunt Jenna said, trying to be a help to us.

"I'm all about the coffee Aunt Jenna." Elena replied. I smirked to Elena's comment. At least I know she has some spirit left in her.

"Did I hear coffee?" Jeremy, my younger brother added in. Everyone seemed to ignore him, so I decided not to start anything. Aunt Jenna begins to rummage through things, clearly stressing out over the first day of school.

"It's the first day of school and I am totally unprepared," she fretted.

"Aunt Jenna, you know you're not the one that's going to school, right?" I smirked. Elena pinched me and then sent me a glare.

"Don't listen to her, Aunt Jenna. She's just jealous that somebody actually cares about someone else and their needs." Elena exclaimed. Aunt Jenna, ignoring us, continued on with searching for God knows what.

"Lunch money?" Aunt Jenna asked.

"No I'm okay." Elena and I said at the same time.

"You know, you guys have to stop doing that," Jeremy said as he snatched the money out of Aunt Jenna's hand. I grabbed my bag from the table and gathered any other stuff that I needed.

"Anything else? A number two pencil? What am I missing?" Aunt Jenna said trying to lighten up her mood.

I stopped getting ready and started to realize a very important fact. "Don't you have that big presentation today or something?"

"I have a meeting with my thesis advisor at-" Aunt Jenna looked down at her watch and I could see her face turn pale. "NOW! CRAP!" Aunt Jenna ripped her hair out of her messy ponytail.

"Just go, you'll be fine," Elena reassured. I could see the relief fill up Aunt Jenna's face. I know that she needed that. If she is going to frown like this anymore, then she is going to have some serious wrinkle problems.

Aunt Jenna nodded her head, gesturing a thank you, and then she leaped away to grab her necessities for the day. I heard a sigh come from Elena.

"You okay?" Elena looked over to Jeremy. I could see the pain in his eyes. He can't find a healthy way to cope with the death-. I took in a deep breath. I still can't say or think that. It's too hard to accept, but I know that I have to for me to move on. I snapped back into reality, waiting to hear what Jeremy had to say.

"Don't start,' Jeremy replied as he rolled his eyes and walked away. My anger started to boil up. He can't just keep pushing people out. I started to stomp towards him.

"No! Don't think that you can-" I began to say before Elena cut me off.

"Sofiya, he's not worth your time." Elena warned. I sighed as I sipped on my cup of coffee. I looked up at the T.V screen to see two deaths had occurred near the town border. Strange. Must be an animal attack. I thought. I looked out the window to see a blue car pull up to the front of the house. I knew that that was my cue to leave.

I slowly walked up to Elena. "ELENA! BONNIE'S HERE!" I shrieked into Elena's ear, knocking her out of a trance that she always seemed to be in.

"Uh! Stop being so immature!" Elena yelled, but it was too late because I was already dashing out of the door to get to Bonnie's car.

The car was rolling down the road as I looked out of the window.

"So, Grams is telling me that I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, which isn't all that, but I know it's crazy. And she has been going on and on and on about it and I'm like put that lady in a home already. But then, I start thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger and I still think Florida will break off and turn into a little resort island!" Bonnie rambled. Man, that girl can talk.

I noticed that the silence filled the car, so I glanced over to see what was going on. Elena is in her trance again. Ever since the accident, she gets all quiet and stares off into the distance like she has an all intelligent mind, which we all know isn't true. I know she can't help it, she was really close to my mom and dad. I mean, we all were, I just hope that she can move on. I hope that I can move on.

I look back at Elena to see if anything new happened. Bonnie glanced over at me, to get reassurance if she should but in or not. I gave a quick nod.

"ELENA!" Bonnie yelled to her. Elena, a little off edge, looked back to Bonnie. "Back in the car," Bonnie smiled.

"I did it again," Elena shook her head in disappointment.

I know I shouldn't say anything, but I just had to. "No, we saw the muffin man parading down the streets giving candy to children." I commented in a sarcastic tone. Bonnie glared at me. So many glares in one little day. A smirk appeared on my face.

"I-I'm sorry." Elena continued to sigh.

"Ignore Sofiya, I do and I'm pretty happy." Bonnie grinned.

"Hey! I'm right here you know!" I playfully slapped Bonnie's arm. Laugher exploded in the car, but it eventually settled down.

"You were saying that-" Elena joined back in before Bonnie cut her off.

"That I'm psychic now." Bonnie grinned again.

"Right!" I mocked.

Elena sent me another glare. "Okay, then predict something about me," Elena smiled.

Bonnie looked over at Elena and examined her. She exhaled a deep breath. "I see-" Bonnie began to say, when a back object hit the windshield, making the car swerve over, hitting the curb. Everyone let out heavy breaths, trying to realize what just had happened.

"What was that?" Bonnie mumbled out. "Oh my god. Elena, Sofiya, are you okay?" Bonnie breathed out.

"It's okay Bonnie, I'm fine." Elena murmured.

"It was like a bird or something and it came out of nowhere." Bonnie continued.

"Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life," Elena confirmed.

"Well, I'm just fine and dandy in the back of this nice blue car, no worries at all!" I said to lighten up the mood. Everyone let out a little laugh. Bonnie began to sit back up in her seat.

"I predict, this year is going to be kickass and I predict that all the sad and dark times are over and you both are going to be beyond happy." Bonnie finished up her interrupted prediction. A smile appeared on everyone's faces, making the whole little car incident seem like it never happened. Bonnie spun the car right back around, continuing the drive to school.
