Lovesessed
started in 1994, the
year Rachel was born. My dad even bought her the box set with all
10 seasons. I loved watching the program Charmed because one of the
characters was named Phoebe.
    “ Looking good,” Rachel
said when she popped her head through my half open door. “I like
your hair, it looks really pretty,” she said running her fingers
through my hair.
    “ Thanks, but I wish that I
had your long silky hair,” I said, admiring her long blonde hair
that looked like honey pouring down her back. “It’s so straight and
soft, unlike my wavy hair that requires daily hot
ironing.”
    “ Do you remember when you
were eight, you begged Mom to buy you a long blonde wig?” she said,
smiling at the memory.
    “ Yes, because I
desperately wanted hair like yours. I think that she felt bad for
me because she actually bought it, and I wore it for about two
weeks straight. Eventually, she took it away because I refused to
take it off and wash my hair.”
    “ It really did stink, and
it was full of dust and lint. I think that you had a family of ants
living in it. It was a health hazard.”
    We both laughed and couldn’t stop, like
when something that isn’t really that funny seems
hilarious.
    “ My stomach hurts,” I
said.
    “ My eyes are watering,”
she said, wiping her eyes with a tissue.
    “ Rach, it’s ironic about
our names. I look more like the character Rachel from Friends because we both
have medium length light brown hair, and we’re average height.
While you look more like the character Phoebe, because you both
have long blonde hair and you’re tall and slim.”
    “ It is funny how that
happened,” she said looking through my jewelry box.
    I’d always been jealous of Rachel
because she was so gorgeous, and looked amazing in everything she
wore. She could seriously wear a potato sack and look like a model.
She was also really sweet, as well as beautiful. If she wasn’t my
sister, I’d hate her.
    “ Rach, do you think I
could ever be popular like you?”
    She squeezed my hand. “You have great
friends, and you are a great person. It doesn’t matter what people
at school think.”
    “ That’s easy for you to
say. You’re gorgeous and popular. People at school didn’t even know
that we were sisters until they saw that we had the same last name.
They even asked if we had different fathers. How rude,” I pouted,
folding my arms across my chest.
    “ Lots of sisters look
different. We just got different genes.”
    “ You got the good genes,”
I moaned. “But they do have a point, I’ve always wondered if I was
adopted because I’m so different to every member of the
family.”
    “ Phoebes, there’s
something that I have to tell you. Now that you have already
figured it out…” she said apprehensively.
    “ What is it?” I caught my
breath.
    “ You were adopted.” Her face was deadly
serious.
    I gasped and clapped my hand to my
mouth.
    She burst out laughing. “You’re so
gullible.”
    I pushed her, and she fell off the bed.
We both collapsed in fits of giggles.
    If I had a famous boyfriend, then I
would also be popular like Rachel. Everyone at school would want to
be friends with me. I had Liz and Ben, but we’re like middle of the
road, not popular, not unpopular. At least Liz was really smart. I
just had my winning personality.

    The wait for Liz’s parents to pick me
up was torture. I didn’t know what to do with myself. When I’m
nervous, it’s like I have ants in my pants because I can’t sit
still. I paced around my room for a while, and even organized my
underwear drawer by color, just to keep busy. I felt like Chase was
watching me from all of my pictures on the wall, like he knew that
we had a date with destiny.
    I put on a denim jacket for the drive
there. I had planned to leave it in Liz’s parent’s car because I
didn’t want to hide my green top, and I was sure to get boiling hot
inside the venue.
    When Liz saw me she raised her eyebrows
and said, “Hey, you look
