spirit, Jade, on the contrary, is quite
introverted and into stability. Hence,
it came
as a huge surprise
when others acknowledge our strong bond. We’re like
2 sides
of the same coin.
No matter how different we are, we have
never
neglected or
abandoned each other. In fact, we are
partners in crime in
so many
impulsive and silly
acts that our family has lost count. Once, I tried
to
play the victim with my uncle as I accidentally broke a crystal vase that my aunt
adored, Jade
backed me up as we
put the blame on our poor cousin. What
a
shameful act! But that
was years ago and we learnt our lesson the hard way.
Another time when my sister’s teacher asked to meet our parents because Jade
had ditched class.
In her defense, that subject was boring and I was the one who
talked to her teacher. In the end, Jade had to serve more time at the library and
we kept this from our parents and so were many other things. We
got each other’s
back
and we always will because that’s what sisters do and simply because I love
her.
