It was cold a January night, the wind swept across the air and a pair of twins took their first breaths. The first born was named Molly her hair was golden, and eyes the color of honey. The second born was named Mary; her hair was dark as night, and her eyes were a deep dark brown. Molly was the more dominant twin. She was always in charge; her voice and presence was so distinct know person could compare. Mary over the years grew to be kind, always making sure others were taken care of before her. The twin girls were as opposite as could be, and as children, these differences began to cause much tension and competition between the two sisters.

Once again she fell short to her twin sister.
Later that year, the two girls began preparing for the SAT. Mary wanted to be a teacher when she grew up, and teach those with learning disabilities like herself. Molly wanted to be a lawyer, and make a lot of money at lying…something she had perfected at this point in her life. As the SAT grew near, Molly knew her regular scores would not be good enough for Harvard or Yale. She quickly grew a plan on how she could cheat her way thru the SAT.
