LINCOLN: (nervously) S-sorry about what happened then! I kind of wanted Lori to upset over the idea of me replacing her and I figured the girl who beat her for Homecoming Queen would be the perfect candidate to make her change her mind.

CAROL: So you used me.

LINCOLN: (frantically) I'm sorry! I was just desperate for a good picture!

CAROL: (her expression softens and she chuckles) Don't worry about it. To be honest, I wasn't expecting Lori to react the way she did then. I just wasn't as aware of the fact that she had been jealous of me for quite a while. And it was only until after that whole selfie incident that I finally learned that. But to tell you the truth, I always thought she was better than me.

LINCOLN: Why did you believe that?

CAROL: Because she has a family who really cares for her.

Lincoln's eyes began to widen in shock as if realizing something was wrong.

LINCOLN: You mean...your family doesn't care about you?

Carol began to look away with an uncomfortable expression on her face

LINCOLN: Oh! I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that, I just--

CAROL: (looks at him) No no! It-it's fine. Really. It's just...(sighs) my life hasn't always been easy for me. My parents got divorced when I was eight, and I was left with the choice of which one I could go with. I chose my mom as I figured she would probably need someone to help keep an eye on my little brother. (gave a slight chuckle) That was certainly a mistake. I mean, my mom's fine. I can work well with her. But my brother might be the worst person I know in my life. He is SO obnoxious. He's always sneaking into my room, messing with my things when I try to do my homework, or just pulls pranks on me, always laughing at my misfortune. He's the worst!

She then looked at Lincoln a bit more carefully.

CAROL: In fact, he does look very similar in terms of physical appearance to you...

Lincoln began to feel uneasy and started to wonder if Carol's brother was somebody he had met before...

CAROL: (smiles) But I can tell you're different from him in terms of personality. Anyways, aside from my brother, things had gone well for us. My mom has a good paying job, and we do have a nice house. But growing up, I never really had any friends. I was always kind of the social outcast in school. When I first met your sister, I felt rather envious of her, as if she was always able to do things better than I could. So I tended to keep away from her and her friends. That's why I always felt glad whenever I beat her at something else, as it felt like I had finally accomplished something. During the first few years of high school, I still avoided Lori and formed my group of friends with some of the more "high-class, sophisticated" girls. The only issue was that, while we did meet with each other often outside of school, we never really had any true friendship. I guess they just found me as a lower-class weakling who was trying to show off to against a rival, and to be fair, I can't blame them for that. But after Lori and I reconciled with that BFF selfie, I left those girls and began to hang out with Lori and her friends more. And I'll tell you, the time I've spent with them has finally made me like I've found a group of people with whom I truly belong.

[The sisters are completely speechless]
