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

My mother sat on my bed, watching me unpack.


"I still can't believe you are here, Mom." I repeated for probably the twentieth time. "And I can't believe you're here!" She exclaimed, hopping off the bed and wrapping her arms around me from behind.


A month ago, my mom argued with my father and reclaimed our relationship. Within a few hours, my suitcases were packed, I was saying goodbye to my best friends, and on a plane to god-knows-where with my mother. But, I wouldn't have it any other way.


On the plane ride, my mom told me baby stories and her rise to success in the years of her absence. I wasn't upset at all with her. There was no hate in my heart towards my mother for chasing her dreams. Hearing the truth from her and my father gave me all the understanding I needed.
