!!!! Let’s talk about Ohana!!!
Ohana is a novel that I started when I was 13, and am currently in the process of rewriting! It centres around four teenagers (~17) - originally six fourteen year olds - who go to a boarding school that trains spies, soldiers, and assassins. I’ve never really posted about it here because I’m not sure if people would be interested in my original fiction ocs but I love this story and if there is interest then I’d be hyped to talk about it more often!
The main character is Alice Clément, who is a sort of fille fatale kind of spy and the school manipulates her into a lot of very sketchy situations by threatening to use her twin sister (Blair Clément) instead. Over the years, Alice has withdrawn a lot - she’s pulled away from her sister, her ex best friend and former partner (Lukas), and pretty much everyone else in her life. The most constant relationship in her life is with a boy named Roger, who has been her rival and sworn enemy since they were twelve.
When the story starts, the twins, Lukas, and Roger (who happen to be best friends and roommates) find out that they’re being pushed together, as requested by alumni and CIA director “Sir” (name TBD) to train as an elite task force, and will now be pretty much isolated within their group. Alice and Blair have never been more distant, Alice and Roger can barely breathe the same air without snapping at each other, and Alice and Lukas can no longer make eye contact - meanwhile, Lukas and Roger are also being very shifty and trying to keep space between themselves.
Alice is the most distressed by this news, and everyone is surprised to find that Roger is the one to calm her down and is encouraging her to “tell her, Al, she won’t hate you”. Alice exchanges terrified looks with Lukas before taking a deep breath and beginning to speak. This is when the first chapter ends.
