I called Flourescent, Flou. She called me Audie. That's about the closest we would ever get. Our faces and our bloodline were all we could ever possibly have in common. That being set aside, we were polar opposites.
We may have shared the same grade, but Flourescent had friend circles that she headed; while I had no one. The circumstances of our birth set us cruelly apart. Flourescent had privileges, I had none. And she never acted like she had a sister. It would have been very easy for Flourescent to pretend like I did not exist. And while she absorbed all the love that the Sanctuary had to give, I shrunk and shrunk.
