Chapter 3Copycat Love

The next day, determined to break the pattern, I borrowed a green sundress from Maya. I’d never seen Clara wear anything like it. She definitely wouldn’t have anything to match this.

When I got down from my bed, I saw she was still in her pajamas. A smug grin spread across my face.

Ha! Stumped you, didn’t I?

But as I was brushing my teeth, I watched her in the mirror. She opened a storage bin she kept under her bed, one she rarely touched, and pulled out… a green dress. A green… dress.

I nearly crushed the plastic cup in my hand.

She held up the dress, and catching my eye in the mirror, she gave me a faint, knowing smile.

What was that smile?

Evil! A challenge! A threat!

She was about to take over my life! I couldn't let that happen!
