Jessica smiled. "I like the heat, I was born in Sweet Valley, California." She replied, shrugging. "I was practically raised on the beach, and we had a pool in the backyard. So I was always in the water. It's nice to be on an island, because at least I am used to beach weather."
It was quite another to be so far away from her sister. Jessica had never been so far away from her before. They had always traveled together. They'd even gone to France to be au pairs for the summer together when they were in high school. "I was supposed to be on my way to the Sweet Valley Shore to be a lifeguard with my twin sister and our friends. We go to college at Sweet Valley University."
She realized that she didn't really go there anymore, though, since she was here. Who knew how long she was going to be here? Jessica supposed that she could get used to it, but she was going to miss Elizabeth. They had never been apart this long. She just hoped that Lizzie wasn't getting any twin sense that she wasn't okay, because she physically was.
