Summary: Angel was forced to move from California with her siblings and mother to New York with her uncle. She didn’t really have a say in the move and wishes that she could go back to her old life. She meets her new classmates and she thinks they’re cool. Eva ends up showing her around to her classes throughout the day. She realized that her brother always knew who he was, her ex Darius always knew he was but she realized that before everything changed she didn’t know who she was and she didn’t really think about it because she always had her brother and her sisters (the triples).

“ It isn’t that I don’t like reading. ( It’s just that I’ve never had much room to do anything for myself). Amir got to do it all. Read, write, play ball. Hell! He got a scholarship for that smart kids’ school, and it’s like everything around us revolved around him and The Trio. I was never mad about it. Elena let me try out modeling once or twice, and when it didn’t catch on, I just figured my turn to try new things was over…But ever since we fell out over Darius, I feel like I lost my mom. So now she’s just Elena,” (19).

“” Everyone at this school is so sure of themselves, which makes me double nervous about who I am. Angel: ash- brown hair smoothed into a messy bun, check. Medical blue sling, check. Black high top converse, black ripped jeans, and a bright yellow hoodie that reads Cali…Her I’m like a sore thumb. Sure, I was able to secure some Eco Style hair gel and a little toothbrush. This made my baby hair game look descent. But u still don’t know if I belong. Uncle Spence said it’ll be that way for awhile,” (23).
