Brooke and Peyton met in kindergarten. The big yellow bus was crowded with screaming children, jumping around and flailing their limbs everywhere. Peyton sat quietly 由 herself that morning, staring blankly out the window. She was worried about her alphabet worksheet in a way most kindergarteners didn’t even know existed. Brooke hesitantly marched up the aisle, it was her first 日 at a new school and all the seats were full, except the one 下一个 to Peyton. She sat down, grinned and said, “Hi, I’m Brooke”

“Peyton”

“I’m new here” She tried to mask her fear of this new place...

I find them interesting =)

*The only person she 查看 as a parental figure is Karen.

Her parents absence is a big part to why Brooke feels so insecure about love, and why she has fears of never being enough.

*Brooke likes to make up nicknames for her friends. She calls Peyton "Best Friend", "P.Sawyer", "Curly Head" and "Fake Blondie",...
