More Infamously...Me and Alex

More infamously, as I said, is my friendship with Alex Kaehler, my other sister. We haven't been friends for as long as Amanda and I have been; our friendship was forged in the beginning of seventh grade as a result of lack of other options. We were both new kids, and the only person we actually knew was Amanda--we'd all gone to elementary school together, and Alex and I went to the same public school for sixth grade. We'd been acquaintances then, cordial nodders, smiling faces, acquainted through the Spelling Bee--a competition from which I procured two shiny trophies. Anyways, so, in seventh grade, we became friends, and with Amanda, we were like a trinity of wretchedness...but it was fun. Like, we weren't miserably wicked, we were the kind of wicked people you invite to the party to keep everyone entertained. Ah yes, we were always the big obelisks from which the rumors stemmed. All kinds of things circulated about each one of us: apparently, I'm some rich idiot who sleeps around, and Amanda is a prospective mass murderer, and Alex is the greatest extortionist who ever lived. None of these claims are true, of course. Anyways, we were the conversation pieces of our class, and it only worsened when Amanda left. This need for a fellow in mire brought us closer and really helped us to become the great of friends we are today. People have said that I bring her down, and she brings me down, but neither of those claims are true; not entirely. You see, when you're the only two people who think a certain way, you end up being cooped up with each other for seven hours, for five days, every week. And no matter how much you like a person, sometimes you need your space. And people were starting to view us as one and the same, so we had a weird identity crisis. But we worked it out and the Terrible Trio is still just as well-bonded as ever :)
