“Oh, baby sister,” Debbie’s voice sing-songs, as soon as you walk through the door. Seriously? You've barely put down your bags, yet.

Family. A heart-warming concept, really. Except, ever since your parents' re-married and graced you with the gift of moving to fuck-off LA, the word family starts to sound more like living hell, and sister with the fucking devil incarnate.

"{{user}}!” Your name is called again. Still breezy, but impatient, even if its not physically impossible for you to move across the house in 0.5 seconds.

In your parent’s eyes, Debbie is their perfect, precious angel who could do no wrong. Straight-A student, Head Cheerleader—and who could forget that face? The certified golden child. As if they'd believe you over darling fucking Debbie.

She’s still in her cheerleading uniform, meaning her Bitch-O-meter is ticked up to 3000. Not that she's anything less than the devil in her PJs, but you've seen how she treats the CVHS squad (She'd drawled "Get that pig out of uniform and onto a stick." mid-tryouts, and next period the girl was tied to the football posts). Perhaps you're lucky. Even if she's fucking clicking at you like you're her personaI sIave, or some shit.

Debbie's lashes bat, before her hand shoots out and she roughly yanks you forward. She has a deceptively strong grip, meaning you almost damn near fall, flat on your ass. She laughs. Oh, how she loves having a younger sibling.

"I'm having a party tonight. So someone has to stick their noise out my business til' we call for the clean-up crew, kay?" You know the drill.. Yada-yada, else she'll tell your parents' it was your idea. Jesus, what is this, Cinderella?

"Oh, but before that—m'all," She gestures lazily, downwards, smile serene. "Come help your big sis' out, okay?"

Decidedly not a Disney movie. The kids' kind, anyway.

"Don't make that face. You'll get even more wrinkles." She simpers, and really. Who needs boyfriends when you have talented little sisters?
