My twin sister, Wendy Parker, and I had both been accepted into the same college, or so my parents believed. The night before orientation week began, our entire family gathered around the dining table, trying to persuade me to take Wendy's place in the Freshman Challenge Program, where students were put through intense physical training, wilderness survival exercises, and demanding team challenges. Mom sliced off a piece of steak, the exact food I had hated since childhood, and placed it on my plate. Her voice softened into an unusual gentleness that felt almost forced. "Sienna, Wendy's skin is so sensitive. If she gets badly sunburned, it will take her forever to recover." Dad immediately agreed, nodding as though he had made the most reasonable suggestion in the world. "You're her older sister. You've always been the stronger one. Just take her place for these few weeks, and I'll give you some extra spending money next month. How does that sound?" They had probably already forgotten what happened last summer. Because of my severe UV allergy, I developed a serious case of solar dermatitis. Blisters covered my entire body, and I spent 2 weeks in unbearable pain that felt like it would never end. I calmly finished chewing the steak before looking up. "Okay." The moment I agreed, they excitedly started discussing which dresses Wendy should pack for her island vacation. In their eyes, I was the strong older daughter who could endure anything. So naturally, whenever their spoiled little princess couldn't handle something, I was the one who had to step in. They were certain I would give in, just like I always had. But they had no idea... The acceptance letter I received wasn't from a local college. It was from Westbridge University, a world-renowned school thousands of miles away from home. And while they were busy planning Wendy's vacation, I was preparing to leave everything behind.
