~General Narration~

  One of the two twins Shiri(pronounced shy-re) walked out of school with her supplies in hand. She wore a red shirt and black jeans and had a black backpack on her back. Her sister Amatasu(pronounced ama-ta-su) however was still in school. She was putting her stuff up and had been cornered again by Daniel, a senior who had a crush on her. She didn't return the feelings he had and was constantly turning his offer of dating him down. She grabbed her stuff and went to find her sister.
~Shiri~

  I sat down on the steps of school with my drawing pad and pencil in hand.

"Miko you need to be careful you can get hurt." I heard a boy say. "Uh, you're such a buzzkill." A girl said.

I looked up and saw a Japanese girl with black hair with pink streaks in it talking to a boy with raven black hair. I shook my head and put my black and white tiger striped headphones on and turned my music on as I pulled out a picture of a beautiful native american teenage girl with long jet black hair and light colored skin wearing a white buckskin dress. I sighed and slowly began to draw the girl as I listened to my music.

I pulled my cellphone out as I heard my music stop and saw my foster parents were calling. I sighed and hung up and put my stuff in my bag and stood up. I saw the same girl from earlier climb into a large green suv and the boy climb onto a beautiful blue motorcycle with a few pink spots. I pulled off my headphones feeling a hand on my shoulder and seen the exact same girl in the picture standing beside me yet she wore black jeans and a white shirt.

"Shiri we need to go, we have work." She said. Her voice was gentle yet strong.

I sighed and stood up "Alright Amatasu but we are going camping this weekend."

"Of course we are." She said.

We both started walking towards our house near the edge of town. We lived in a small town called Jasper Nevada. Our house was small with only two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a single bathroom.

We had been living on our own since our parents were killed long ago when we were younger. For awhile we did have foster parents but they decided to leave us and find a new home on the other side of town. We saw them almost everyday but we never talked to them unless we needed them to come stay because the social worker was coming. Now that we were both 18 and seniors in high school we didn't need them anymore and had been living without worry of the social worker for two months.

I sighed as we slowly walked up to our small house and Amatasu went to unlock the door. I leaned against the wall of the house as she tried to unlock the door. I looked down the street and saw something you wouldn't really see on a town street, a large red and blue semi parked at the dead end.

I tapped Amatasu's shoulder "Hey Amy does anyone in Jasper own a semi?" I asked. She unlocked the door "No. Why?" She asked walking inside.

I stayed outside looking at the semi "Because there's a red and blue semi parked at the end of the street." I said. She walked over and poked her head out and looked down the street "Shi(pronounced shy), leave it alone." She said.

"Come on just this time?"

"Fine but if you're late to work I'm not covering for you." She said and walked inside.

"Thanks Amy." I yelled and closed the door and walked down towards the semi. When I reached it I stood in front of it.

"Hm you're a big one." I said and walked over and climbed up and opened the hood. My eyes widened seeing the engine inside "Woah...." "Someone takes real good care of you." I said looking at the engine.
