'Sara':: She's thirteen, like me. We go to the same school and are inseperable. She's yin, I'm yang I suppose. During the summer we generally see each other four or five times a week. We've known each other since fourth grade.

'Clara':: Clara is my twin. She is also thirteen, and is best friends with both Sara and myself. We all go to the same school, and basically move as one herd. She's very religious, and she's also Korean.

'Kira':: Kira lives down the street. She's thirteen too, but doesn't go to my school [She goes to a Catholic school]. We've known each other since 1993, if not before. She happens to like 'N SYNC. Despite the fact that we don't see each other too often we tell each other everything.

'Julie':: Julie is thirteen [what a surprise] but doesn't even live in my school district. She went to poetry camp with me this summer and we exchange letters. She draws Japenese Animation like no one else, and I personally think she kicks some ass.

'Jennifer':: How to explain this ... hmmm. Okay, Jennifer is thirty, but treats me like an adult. It all works out very well. I loan her my Backstreet CDs to calm down her kids [one boy, one girl, both under four, but damn, they're cute!] and she in turn loans me stuff my mother won't allow me to buy. She knows I cut myself.

Anyone else I'll indentify.
