It feels so weird, writing in this forced, awful cursive. I never liked it, and always used print. I feel it's a recognizable font I use. I'm making the new book feel Lexi, not Aura.
Lexi is the type who would bedazzle her front page, and so I did. The story goes, I have an older brother, and my younger sister just died two months back from cerebral palsy. My parents divorced recently after her death. I live with my dad while my brother lives with my mom.
Dad and I moved across town (the only truth in all this) and now I go to this school. I have a YouTube channel - mostly vlogs, reacts. Sometimes if I run out of ideas I just play old 2020-30s browser games like 'Infinite Craft' or 'The Password Game' just for a throwback.
Aura never had a social media presence, by choice. She felt it was superficial and pointless. I, however all the latest memes on the back of her hand.
I finally upgraded from my dad's old 2040s physical phone to a fancy holographic bracelet. I gotta admit, it's convenient. And don't worry, Dad is actually super rich. Too bad we don't live in a mansion.
I don't know who will react to my presence and how. My prediction is that Carly would be pretty much unfazed. Unless I get into her classes. I'm hoping she misses me, but I don't have any high hopes. Carly is an outgoing girl, she obviously would have had no problem at all.
I feel like the school might seem odd because everyone knows that this one random girl died. I'm not too remarkable though. People just know me as... wait do they know me?
Zinnia says a short skirt is the way to go if I wanna be popular. As Aura, I feel uncomfortable wearing anything but jeans, but then I'm not her anymore. My dear sister did me the favor of completely restocking my wardrobe with the most pick-me-girl outfits ever.
Hell, even she wouldn't wear some of the stuff here. I picked a knee-length pleated skirt, the one which Zinnia forbade me from wearing on my first day.
But hey, she's not Lexi's sister... she doesn't have any control over me.
No, she does... Mom specifically said, and I quote, "Zinnia's gonna be choosing the outfits which give you the least aura of well... Aura."
So yeah. A gray crop hoodie with a black skirt it is. I wore long socks underneath with a pair of actually GOOD (don't tell Zin though) sneakers.
I think when I was getting in the car (which... still doesn't feel like it belongs to my family), Dad genuinely laughed out loud. "Reminds me of when y'all were kids..."
As we all know, Zinnia is a bit of a girly-girl type. And she would never throw down the chance to give someone else a makeover.
"Said the one in the brown wig," I rolled my eyes. "Let's go."
