She holds out her hand as a peace offering. I look at her slender wrist, her single bangle glinting against the bone. No way am I sticking together with Aisha. What that really means is I'm supposed to do whatever she says, and then she gets all the credit."
When I read the first part of this quote, I was really hopeful that finally they were going to show some sisterly love towards each other. But then I read further and realized that that wasn't going to happen. At first I thought that Nadira was a bit stupid for not trying to be friends with her sister. They really do have to stick together. But then I read the last sentence of the quote, and realized that they've passed the point where they can be friends. Aisha insults Nadira too much, and unfortunately Nadira would never be able to be around that for long enough to make up with her sister. The two girls are too different, and too much time has passed for them to form a strong relationship.
