Aubrey and Alexis are about to become step sisters. Aubrey's mother is marrying Alexis's father in less than a year. With the parents insisting on combining households, Aubrey feels like she is going through hell. Aubrey was pure sweetness. Her skin color was honey, she had thick but soft hair, and a curvy frame. She's taken out of her junior year in high school and away from her closest friends. Aubrey's relationship with her boyfriend Mike is put on rocks and it's all because of her soon-to-be step sister, Alexis. 
Alexis has always been into girls. She acted like a boy, walked like a boy, and somewhat dressed like a boy. She certainly didn't look like one. Alexis was beautiful. Her body was toned, due to the constant basketball games she played on the court with her group of friends. She also had every gay girl wanting her. The straight girls stared too. Her hair was long, eyes were big and hazel, and her skin was chocolate. Alexis could care less about them, she wanted Aubrey.

In This House

"You have got to be kidding me!" I screamed. I was video chatting on my laptop with Ashley, one of my white friends from catholic school in Vermont. "I'm not. I saw him hugging Heather at the food center." Ashley shook her head and folded her arms.


The food center was the place Mike and I always went on our lunch break and after school. It was basically our "thing." Mainly because we hated hanging around a group of people when we would much rather spend quality time with each other.


"That's why he hasn't called or responded to my texts." I whined, lowering my head and sniffling, on the verge of tears. "Aubrey, pull it together, okay? I haven't seen them kiss or anything. They've just been at the food center... A lot." Ashley trailed off, pulling her thoughts together.


"Oh, God." I exclaimed as tears started streaming down my face. "Pull yourself together." Ashley tried to encourage me. "They might as well be a couple, Ashley." I sobbed.
