At home, Janet had permission to come over to my house for awhile so she can meet my dad and Sharon. It was a perfect timing since it's only Tuesday and us Baby-Sitters Club get together every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Janet told her mom where I live and somehow, she knows where Burnt Hill Road is.

We were in my room doing our homework.

Dad came home from work after six and dinner was ready. Janet and I are all set anyway. We still headed downstairs so she can meet him and Sharon, who was already home. That's what she did.

"We had a few things in common. She was supposed to be born on my birthday, but she was two days early," I said. "And, we'll be both turning 15."

"Isn't that something?" asked Dad.

"Yes. I remembered she was the one who signed her autograph to me when she performed Annie in Buffalo, New York City where I came from," said Janet.

"And, we're both fans of Cam Geary," I added.

"That's good," said Dad.

"I know," I agreed. "Here comes the weirdest part of all; we had someone with the same name and illness, but different: Janet's older sister, Kayla, died while my best friend won the battle."

"That's very creepy," said Carlos.

"I know," I agreed.

"Did you both got separated at birth?" asked Meredith.

We laughed at that After dinner, she stayed until her mom, who worked late, came for her before eight.

"Thanks. It was nice to meeting you again, Mr. Spier and Sharon," said Janet.

Sharon let Janet to call her by the first name if she wants to.

"My pleasure. Come by again anytime," said Dad as Janet leaves for her mom's car.

I don't think my other best friends would think I'd be replacing them. But they will would know that they're still my best friends. Dawn is the only one who would get jealous often. She was like last time when I became best friends with Kayla and Kaylee, but apologized when she embarrassed me one time.

I got comfy after Janet left. Dad really enjoyed having Janet over. So did Sharon and the other crew.

The next day, at school, Janet and I were sitting together at lunch.

"This is nice that we're sitting together," said Janet.

"I know," I agreed.

"I remember seeing your friend, Kayla, play the choir parts in Annie," said Janet.

"Yes. So does Kaylee," I said. "They were both good."

"How did you save Kayla and how did she got sick?" asked Janet.

"My friends and I did a fundraiser. She had just moved here back then. I noticed she didn't look too good and her throat was bothering her, so I brought her to the nurse's to have her mom bring her to the doctor's. I noticed she looked tired, too. Her sister called me later that day to tell me that Kayla was sick with cancer," I said. "I'm glad I saved her because imagine losing a friend you just met? That would've been awful."

"I bet," said Janet.

"Yeah," I said. "Kayla was very happy."

"That's good," said Janet.

"What about your older sister?" I asked.

"She was sick for a year when she died even though they caught it early. It happened while we were in Buffalo, New York City. She died at a hospital and I wasn't there. I was in school at that time. Then, I found out about my sister after school," said Janet. "Mom didn't want to bother the principal to tell me while I'm in school."

"Oh," I said.

"Somehow, I did manage to go to the funeral services and the burial. In fact, she was cremated before she got buried," said Janet.

"Wow," I said.

"When Kayla died, I cried for two days. We were very close. She was my only sibling. We were like best friends, not just sisters. But then, I got over it after the funeral because I knew that she's my guardian angel. Actually, I had a brother after me, but he has been dead since birth. I barely remember him because I was only two at the time. Kayla was the one who told me about him. She was five," said Janet.

We just kept talking even after lunch before we went to our classes.
