The Difference Between "Alexces" and "Megan"

"Alexces" and "Megan" are two different people sharing the same family name. Not because they are sisters but because they are "supposedly" the same person. They are sharing a twenty-year-old girl's body but each has a soul of their own.

Alexces is the less popular of the two. When she and Megan go out for lunch, only the latter gets her name called by people that they know. She will just sit there quietly and stare at her food while Megan talks to those people who intentionally ignore Alexces. One thing that people notice about her though is her name. Alexces gets the "where did your parents get that name?" and "why did they name you that?" questions a lot and "maybe the doctor just misspelled Alexis" proposition sometimes. And that’s it. People will only like her name but not her. Because of these unfriendly incidents that happen all of the time, she has grown to be snobbish and ill-tempered. She had also developed a likeness in peaceful and quiet environment that she prefers to have alone because she doesn’t really have much friends. What people don’t know is that there is more to Alexces than her name and her appalling attitude. She is a quiet girl who likes organization and rationalizing things and even dreamt once to be a lawyer. She is tough and brave and determined to gain success in the field that she has chosen.

Megan on the other hand is outgoing, cheerful and laidback. She doesn’t care much on what other people might say about her, que sera sera. She is very passionate and even proclaimed herself as an artist. She loves to read books, watch movies, write, sing, dance and everything that requires a lot of self-expression, imagination and creativity. She has once been regarded to as the dreamer who wants to change the world and escape the atrociousness of reality. Megan may sound a very ideal person, but she too has her fall downs. Megan doesn’t know what she wants to do the “most”. She has a lot of things in her mind and even has a list of “Jobs to Be Fulfilled Before I Reach 50”, but she can’t say what is on the top of that list. She is not focused and very much indecisive. She wants change, but doesn’t seem to know what she needs to change.

Two souls who “can not” be as one because of their differences. Two souls arguing inside the body of a twenty-year-old girl. Two souls with a completely different intention. They are entrapped in one persona and only one must prevail to dominate her.
