AVERY HOWARD- SASHA PIETERSE

Howard House. East Highland, California. August 6, 2019.

The first thing that you really have to know about me is that I dislike my younger sister and I hate my twin sister. Now, I know what you're thinking: it's just typical sibling rivalry bullshit or it's just a phase i'm going through; right? Wrong. They both irritate me in their own special way.

What you have to understand about my younger sister, Lexi, is that she's the queen of wall flowers. No one knows more about observing than she does. To Lexi, life is like a spectator sport and she just sits on the sidelines while other people actually life life; they have actual experiences. A consequence of being a wall flower is that Lexi doesn't have much of a back bone; if any. She feels like the type of person who someone could bump into her and she would apologize, even though it was clearly the other person's fault. Lexi is just so freaking passive, she doesn't have the ability to tell someone to piss off; even when it is warranted.

My twin sister, Cassie, is even worse than Lexi; if that's even possible. She is such a people pleaser, especially when it comes to guys. Cassie is desperate for love and always has been. She will literally do anything and everything for a guy; especially when it comes to sending nudes. The one time I called her out on sending nudes to one of her many boyfriends, she replied with "Nudes are the currency of love". You would figure that after the 3rd time of having her nudes spread around our entire high school, Cassie would learn to maybe not send nudes to every guy who says she has awesome breasts; but as a wise dude once said, old habits die hard.

As for me...it's hard to describe. I feel like i'm a 2nd degree of being invisible. The issue for me is that when you're stuck between the school slut and the MVP of observers, it's hard to figure out what your identity actually is. I'm not as "open for business" as Cassie. (My sexual history amounts to 1 handjob I gave at one of Nate Jacob's parties a couple months ago." I'm also not as observant as Lexi, (she knows almost everyone's business). It's like Cassie's friend BB said one time,

"Girl, you too much of a prude to be a slut and you too lame to be anything else." This got a good laugh out of Maddy Perez: the Queen bee of East Highland; as well as Kat Hernandez, her plus size, but still sexy gal pal. I didn't really find humor in it, but each to their own, i guess. Most people would just brush it off, but not me. The problem was that hearing Maddy snicker at my lack of personality stung especially; the reason for that being was that ever since I was really small, the only thing i've ever wanted to be when I grew up...was Maddy fucking Perez.

"Avery, what are you doing out here?" My mom asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. I had been trying to sunbath on the front lawn while i still could before school started and the shit ton of homework practically took over my life. I was rocking my favorite teal bikini which just makes me look so fucking hot, it's not even funny.

"I'm tanning." I replied as she just rolled her eyes.

"I honestly don't know why you bother." She said jn a matter of fact way. "You know that Cassie is the only one of you girls who can get a decent tan; Lexi and you just don't have the skin for it." I turned aeay before i could stick out my left hand and reveal the middle finger that was itching to be seen.

Tannable skin was just another thing that Cassie was allowed to have and I wasn't. I would never admit to anyone, but the main reason as to why I loathe my twin so much...is that I am fucking jealous of her. It's typical of siblings to be jealous of each other, but I don't give a damn how run of the mill people think that it is. The fact of the matter is that for my entire life, Cassie has gotten everything she wanted and even shit she didn't: girls wanting to be her, guys wanting to fuck her, near celebrity status at East Highland High School, and most of all, the unending love and affection of Mrs. Suze Howard.

After a few more minutes of bathing in the ultraviolet rays, i decided to pack it in and continue this inner dialogue in the privacy of my room. As I was folding up my lawn chair, I looked across the street and saw that a moving van was being unloaded 2 doors to the right of the house right across from ours. At first, I didn't really think a whole lot of it; it was some middle aged dude who looked like he should be working in some Silicon Valley type tech company. What caught my attention was his daughter: this girl literally looked like some kind of angel with a passion for anime; specifically Sailor Moon. She had pale porcelain skin, shiny blue eyes, and long platinum blonde hair that went down to her shoulders.

As she was getting her bike out of the truck, she got a good look at me and I at her. The girl gave me a big beautiful smile and I felt required to return it, just by how genuinely beautiful she was. She gave me an eager wave and instead of returning it, i decided to copy a page out of my twin's playbook by blowing her a kiss before picking up my lawn chair and walking back into the house. It feels so fucking good to be sexy.
