Hi, My name is Carla and I’m from Canada. My life was pretty normal until one day while walking to school, the most bizarre thing happened.

"Carla watch out!"

My neighbor and classmate Danny yelled as his bike sped towards me. I jumped out of the way and landed in a ditch while Danny and his bike went flying into some bushes.

"Ouch! I think I broke my leg!"

"Serves you right for almost killing me!"

I was so busy trying to get out of the ditch and cursing Danny that I didn't notice someone walk up to me.

"Hi Carla, need some help?"

I looked up at the unfamiliar voice. The most beautiful girl I'd ever seen was standing there, her hand extended to me. I'm not exaggerating guys. She was STUNNING. She had these ocean blue sparkling eyes and jet-black silky hair. And her teeth were so white they hardly looked real. 

"Who are you and how do you know my name?"

"I'm Olivia. Let me help you."

Hi, I’m Abigail and I’m from Kentucky. My sister is better than me at everything and it’s so annoying that I decided to put an end to it once and for all.

My childhood was miserable because of my sister, Mandy. In 3rd grade, we had to bring a creation of our own to class. I brought this paper ball I had turned into a model of the earth. I was pretty proud of it. 

“Oh, that’s cute Abigail, why- OH MY GOD THAT’S AMAZING!” My teacher turned from my creation to look at Mandy’s. She had made a HUMONGOUS globe made of lego pieces. I stared in shocked. It wasn’t fair. Mom had paid for that, but when I asked for help all she’d said was: “Do it yourself!”

Even though parents aren’t supposed to have favourites, my mom definitely loved Mandy more than me. And it’s not like it’s because we’re really different. In fact, we’re identical twins! But Mom for some strange reason prefers Mandy, and it’s been this way for as long as I can remember. I’m pretty sure when Mom gave birth to us she took one look at us and said: “I’ll keep this one. The other one you can give to charity or something.” I’m sure you can guess which one I was.

Anyway, for the first ten years of my life I didn’t mind that Mom loved Mandy more. That’s because my dad loved me more than Mandy. 

Mandy had Mom, and I had Dad. That’s how it was.

Until one horrible night. It was actually our tenth birthday, and because of what happened that night, my birthday was ruined forever. Dad went out to buy me a birthday cake cos the one Mom got had peanuts in it, and I was allergic to peanuts. You know, I’m pretty sure Mom got that cake on purpose just to spite me. Anyway, Dad went out to get me a cake that I could eat, but.. Well.. he never returned.

"You have such beautiful hair!" The lady smiled as she passed me in the mall.

"Why thank you!" I shook my hair slightly for emphasis.

That was only my 50th compliment about my hair today and my ego was loving it!

You see, ever since I was small, I had this thick, gorgeous hair that was always the envy of girls in my class from as early as preschool. 

At age 5, I began doing shampoo commercials and I've been doing them ever since.

With Mom and Dad running their own financial firm, I was left home alone, a lot.

Don't feel sorry for me just yet.

Oh and before I forgot, I met my boyfriend Marco at one of the commercials I did. His hair wasn't as great as mine, but then again whose hair was?

"Yes, Marco," I walked up the driveway and found my keys in my purse, "I'll meet you around six. But, don't keep me waiting this time."

I turned the key into the hole and pushed open the front door. I came face to face with Mom as she tried to fight off a tall, heavily bearded man. 

As soon as Mom saw me, her face grew pale. I saw the fear in her eyes, "Beverly! Run!"

Without thinking twice, I ran out of the house all the way to the bus stop. I sat on the bench and panted.

"Hello! Hello! Bev! What's going on?"

Hi, my name is Lucy and I'm from Canada. When I'm not busy fantasizing about Josh, the hottest boy at school, I lead the math and science club, AKA the Nerd squad. 

One day, my sister Mel caught me kissing my bathroom mirror, pretending it was Josh. She got it all on video and shared it with the entire school! I was humiliated! What do you think Josh said when he saw the video?

Mel and I were 1 year apart, Mel being the older one. Our dad raised us and neither of us had ever met our mom. Every time we asked dad about her, he said that she left us right after I was born, married another man, and moved to another country. She was definitely not winning the mom of the year award.

"Josh is so hot! Every time I see him I'm tempted to just grab him and kiss him!" 

I walked up to my bathroom mirror and started to kiss it, pretending it was Josh. I was leaving lipstick marks all over the ice cold mirror but I didn't care.

"Mmmh...Josh, you're such a good kisser...mmm."

I kept kissing the mirror as I caressed it with my hands, imagining Josh's perfect face.

"You're such a psycho Lucy!"

The sound of Mel's laughter startled me and I hit my nose on the mirror.

"Ouch!"

My dad walked into our house in his pilot uniform, looking as charming as ever. 

“Dad!” I screamed, throwing myself straight into his arms. 

“Hehehe. My baby love”. He grabbed me and squeezed me tight. 

“You look amazing, dad! I want to be a pilot just like you when I grow up!”

My parents burst into uncontrollable laughter, “Hahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha”.

“What?”

“Heck no”.

“Exactly”.

“Women… Especially women who look as good as you and your beautiful mother here… ”, he hugged my mother and squeezed her shoulder in an affectionate way, “... do not need to work that hard in order to be able to survive. All you need is a good responsible man like me to take good care of you”. 

“Yup”. 

“Huh? But I want to be a Pilot! I love flying”. 

“Your husband will fly you around the world”.

Hi my name is Erica and I'm from Jamaica. I always thought my adoptive parents were the best people on earth but I was totally shattered when I found out what they were hiding from me.

Growing up I felt nothing but love from Mom and Dad, especially since I had a rare skin condition called xeroderma pigmentosum. It basically means my skin is sensitive to sunlight. I was homeschooled and I had everything I needed including an indoor swimming pool, tennis court and garden. I really didn't feel any need to venture into the outside world until Milan moved in next door.

Milan was the cutest 16yr old boy I'd ever seen and with his bedroom opposite my own it was easy to catch glimpses of him during the day. 

A few weeks after he'd moved in, he caught me looking at him and my face turned as red as a tomato. I quickly closed my curtains. When I peeked out again he stuck a piece of cardboard with his number on it. I don't usually do things like that but I entered the number in my phone and that's how we began to chat online. 

One afternoon the doorbell rang and Mom answered it. It was Milan. 

"Good evening, I came to ask your permission to take Erica out on a date."

"I've heard about you Milan and there is no way my Erica is going to be seen with a gang leader."

Mom slammed the door in his face and I snuck back to my room shocked. A gang leader? Mom must be mistaken. Gang leaders are vile, obscene, tattooed creatures. Milan was respectful, funny and well educated.

“You’re so funny”, I teased my older twin, Hendrel, with a pat on her back.

“Yeah. I know”.

“But I’m funnier, lol”. Hendrel’s smile suddenly turned upside down. “You think you’re funny? What exactly is funny about you? Eh? Tell me! Tell me how you’re funnier!”

“Chill sis, I was just kidding. It’s a simple joke, you don’t have to take it so seriously".

“Oh wow, now you’re saying that I overreact all the time, RIGHT?”

“When did I say that? What is wrong with you?!”

Hendrel’s smiling eyes turned red as she stared at me with contempt, she suddenly picked up some plates at the dining table and flung them straight at my face. Before I could realize what was happening, my parents had jumped into the scene, my dad threw me away from the flying plates just in time but he couldn’t leave just as fast.

He dodged about two of the plates but the last few came straight for his face and knocked him out. Thankfully, these last couple of plates were plastic unlike the first glass ones that smashed on the living room walls, so no serious damage occurred. 

“Oh my God. Dad. Are you okay?”

As I rummaged through the old furniture in front of the dumpster, I couldn’t believe it was already six months since I first came to live on the street. 

Before I get ahead of myself. Let me take you back a bit. Trust me you won't want to miss this crazy story.

At the beginning of the year, Mom and I decided that we were going to eat healthier and exercise. 

Mom was in charge of preparing the amazing meals and I was in charge of the work outs. We were the perfect duo. 

That was until I got really ill and landed in the hospital in a coma.

While in the coma I heard everything. 

I heard when Dad came into my room, held my hand and cried. 

"Don't worry, it will be over soon." I heard Mom say one afternoon. I could only assume that she was on the phone since I didn't hear anyone else in the room.

"I know I know it's just taking longer than planned. I'll get it done, I promise." 

Another day, a man visited Mom at the hospital. They both seemed a bit frustrated as Mom hissed, "I know it's taking longer than planned but I'll get the job done."

Around my second month in the hospital when one day my eyes fluttered open. The nurse that was in my room at the time called the doctor and they examined me.

Genie and I love each other, but it all changed when my obsession with a boy got between us. 

"Ashley watch out! It's coming right at you!"

My best friend Holly shouted.

I turned to see a giant raging bull charging right at our lemonade stand at the farmer's market. Before I could react, strong arms grabbed me and dragged me out of the way as the bull charged past me into a wooden fence.

"Are you alright?"

I opened my eyes at the unfamiliar voice. The most handsome boy I'd ever seen was staring down at me. 

"You saved me."

He offered his hand and pulled me to my feet.

"OH my God Ash, that beast almost killed you!"

Holly interrupted us with her annoying high pitched voice. Ugh talk about bad timing. 

"Not now Holly!"

Couldn't she see I was talking to my prince charming?

Hi, my name is Shanice and I'm from a little town in Egypt. I never expected my life to become so crazy!

While growing up I was an only child to an army Dad and housewife. We moved around quite a lot because of Dad's job.

When I was in 2nd grade Mom left for the supermarket and never returned. But, I always prayed she'd come back because a girl needs her mother.

Then one day during summer vacation all that changed because of her. Dad walked into the house with a brunette on his arm.

'Shanice, I'd like you to meet my wife, Gabbi."

"You're what?"

"Dad! How could you bring some stranger to live with us? Did you even consider how I'd feel about this?'

I stormed to my bedroom and slammed the door. 

Over the next few days, Dad applied for permanent residence, and enrolled me in some stupid preppy private school. I was stuck! 

I'd never been in a place for more than six months and I felt my anxiety grow. This was all Gabbi's fault and I needed to get rid of her!

One night I snuck into their bedroom and changed the time for their alarm clock. This made Gabbi late for an important meeting and she lost a client.

Another time I placed hair remover in Gabbi's shampoo and my favourite was adding dead worms to the top of Gabbi's cake. The oven smelled like burning fat for days.
