Relationships
History
When Melissa introduced her new friend Julia to Annemarie, it was tolerance at best. Annemarie was used to being popular and the shiny new German girl was sure to rattle the eighth-grade status quo. It very quickly became apparent that, though Julia was loud and daring, flirtatious and brash, she had no interest in most school activities and even less desire to steal Annemarie's new boyfriend. For almost ten years, they existed solely within the radius of the other, both friends of Melissa's but mutual acquaintances of each other. It wasn't until Julia offered passage to Iona that they began to connect. And even then, Annemarie's drama took over Julia's single-minded plan for revenge, and she found herself caring nonetheless. Some of the few Mainlanders in Iona, that shared experience became everything to them. Eventually, when the four split up to do their own thing, Annemarie keeps tabs on Julia. They connect when possible, and support each other unquestioningly.
