Jerome's POV
"MY BAC IS HERE" I hear Mitch yell as he runs at me then tackles me. "Hey hey hey Biggums" I ruffle his hair. I look over at Krystal and see her standing there, in awe. I get up, push Mitch off and introduced her. "Ahem, this is my new little sister, Krystal". Krystal scoots near me and looks down. Shy type aye?

Mitch gets up and grabs her hand. "Hey there Krystal! Welcome to the Team Crafted Family, since your Jerome's sister after all" he starts shaking her hand and clears his throat. He gets up and whispers "Biggums, I need to talk to you about something". I look at him confused up but his eyes looked serious. I nod, then turn back to Krystal. "Anyone you wanna meet?". She thinks about it for a bit, then says "Are there any girls here I could talk with? Because I don't really seem comfortable with boys" I laugh and asks Mitch. "Yo Mitch, where's Ashley at? I feel like Krystal might become good friends with her". "I will take her to her", and with that, he grabs Krystal's hand and rushes off.

Krystal's POV
Mitch grabbed my hand and took me around the house. The house seemed big, and nice. "Mi-Mitch? Where we goin?" We are still running around the house trying to find someone. He looks at me and smiles. "I'm taking you to Ashley and her friends"

Finally we reach a room full of glitter and pink stuff. Ashley is on her phone texting someone as we walk in. "Hey Ashley, this is Krystal, Jerome's new little sister. You might wanna show her around and introduce her to people. Me and Jerome have to go talk about some important stuff". Then he runs off. Great, now I'm left alone with a stranger, well, not a complete stranger.

"So, your Jerome's little sister?" Ashley asks. I nod. I look around for someplace to sit down, only finding a purple beanie chair. I sit down and stare at the ground. "You wanna meet some of my friends?" "Sure". "K then, follow me". I follow her out of the room. We go outside where everyone is talking and eating food.

"Hey guys!" We walk towards a group of people. A girl with hair dyed red looks at us, then glares at me. There was something in her eyes, nothing positive though. She blinks a few times then smiles "Hey Ashley, whose this... Kid you have with you?" Ashley starts to laugh. "I'm guessing she's not that young Ruby." I see Ruby roll her eyes and she starts laughing when Ashley looked at her. I have the feeling Ruby doesn't like me. "Alright, lemme introduce you to my friends. This is Ruby, the one we were just talking to. She is my closest friend. this is Rose" she points to a girl with curly blonde hair. "And this is Kim" she points to a girl with long black hair that turned blue at the tips."and last but not least, my childhood bestie, Christie" she points to a girl with purple and blue hair.

I sit down next to Christie. We chat and get some burgers people were cooking near the door, then it turns night. We had a fun time and I got to know them a bit more. As they talked, I see Jerome walk out the door, and was looking around. He spots me and says "Krystal! It's time to get home, or Mom would get worried". I yell back ALRIGHT. I say bye to everyone and follow Jerome back to his car. It seems dark outside, with a faint orange color in the sky.

We get into the car and I just stare out the window.
