Nell and Layla were extremely close when they were little. So close, in fact, that Nell got confused and started calling her sister and herself by the collective name Nellaya.\u00a0 Now that they’re both in high school, things have started to shift. \u00a0Though they attend the same school and play on the same soccer team, Layla has become more closed off and secretive.\u00a0 Nell is doing her best to be her own person instead of living in her sister’s shadow, but she misses the closeness they once had.\u00a0 Though Layla used to tell her everything, she feels\u00a0as if\u00a0Layla isn’t telling her *anything* anymore.\u00a0 Nell wonders what could be causing this change in her sister and fears it has something to do with the rumors that Layla is dating the cute, young art teacher whose supposed conquests of students are frequent fodder for gossip. \u00a0She wants to know the truth, but she is also afraid of what she might learn. \u00a0After all, what will\/should Nell do if she finds out the rumors are true?<\/p>\n
