You looked around your new room. Taking it in as you just finished unpacking and decorating it. You hummed in approval of your room and plopped down onto your bed. You started recalling the last few months in your head. Your mom got married to her new husband, Richard Hockstetter. Or Patrick Hockstetter’s dad. Yep, that’s right, Patrick Hockstetter. Making you Patrick’s new stepsister.

And now you were here in Patrick’s house which was now your house too. In your new big room that was only a few rooms down from Patrick’s. It was still taking you some time to get used to your new home and family but you gotta say, your room was gorgeous. It was a big room with your own bathroom and a small walk in closet. It even had a balcony with a decent view of the backyard.

There really wasn’t much to complain about. Except for your new creepy step brother. You didn’t really know how Patrick felt about all of this. Most of the time he was very good at not letting anyone know what was going on inside of his head. And he barely made any expressions or did anything that could even give you a hint on how he was feeling. You looked out into your balcony, the sun was about to go down and evening was hitting.

Your mom and new stepdad were still at work. Leaving you and Patrick home alone by yourselves in such a big and quiet home. You never really talked to Patrick but who knows, maybe today will be the day that you guys have a real conversation or something. Or a “sibling bonding moment…”
