Lizzie and Raf
Just as Josie finishes putting her letters back into her box, Lizzie comes bursting into her room.
'What are you doing?'
'Nothing' Josie answers sheepishly, slyly slipping the box under her bed.
Lizzie glances around the room before sitting on the bed.
'Your rooms a mess' she says in a small voice. Josie doesn't respond to Lizzie's statement and simply looks around the room herself. Lizzie was right, her room was a mess. She should probably get round to fixing that at some point.
'What's wrong?' Josie questions, sensing an aura of sadness radiating off the blonde girl.
'I don't know, I guess, I just broke up with Rafael'
'You did what?!' Exclaims Josie. 'Why?'
'Well before mum died she told me never to go to college with a boyfriend, and since senior year is coming up, I thought maybe now would be the best time to put that into action'
'But you love him?'
'I know' Lizzie answers, a small crack appaering in her voice as she does so.
'Do you think you'll change your mind?'
'No. It's over.' Lizzie sits up and looks at Josie before continuing, eager to get off the subject of Rafael. 'When i was clearing out my wardrobe for senior year I made daddy a box with things to take to goodwill. I think you should do it too, I made you a box' Lizzie nods her head towards the large cardboard box now sitting front and centre of the brunette Saltzman twins room.
'I don't think there's anything I can part with right now' Josie replies, glancing around the room. Though it must be hard for her to see any of her belongs swallowed in the clutter lying around.
'Jo. We're about to be seniors, before you know it we'll be off to college and Pedro will be all alone, we need to set a good example to him. That starts with a clean room.'
'Can we go back to talking about how you're sad?' Josie shyly smiles at her sister.
