Even though they went to the same small high school, they ran in slightly different social circles. Meg, for example, was really locked into the FFA soil judging team where she was very busy drawing her own flashcards and, interestingly, not having a boyfriend. 

Tiffany spent most of her time pretending she was totally fine after losing her mom. Now, though, twenty-plus years later, Meg and Tiffany are in the same writing circle.

Important to note: they both have red hair, but they are not related.
