The Stepbrothers

New beginnings

I looked out my window, watching as we pulled out of the driveway. We're leaving the place I have called home for sixteen years, only to move to a new one for two more years. I watched as my dad glmued his eyes on the road, glancing at me or my little sister every now and then.

" Hey Bergundy, do you have any fruit snacks? " asked my, nine year old, sister, Her dark curls falling in her face. I rummaged through my little back pack and pulled out a small bag of them.

" Here Lacey, they're my last bag so enjoy, " I told her. I pulled out my earbuds and ipod. We have a little while before we get there, so I'm gonna nap.

2 Hours

I woke up as soon as we pulled up. I could suddenly feel a pit I my stomach and I didn't want to do this. I didn't want any of this, what I wanted was my old life and friends. I missed my friends. I missed how loud and obnoxious Jess would be or how Tyler would push me to do new things.

" Bergundy, come on, Anna-lee had dinner ready, " my dad said getting Lacey out first. I slowly opened the door, and made my way up the walk way. Okay, this is it. I stepped inside and could smell the meal that had been prepared. I stood there for a minute before Anna had pulled me into a hug, " It is so nice to see you, it is truly lovely to have you guys here! " she squealed. I backed up a little, but she grabbed my ha d and led me to the dining room.

" Boys this is Bergundy, isn't she lovely?" again with the squeals. I brushed my brownish blonde hair out of my green eyes. I took a seat across from the boys next to Lacey. " Um, girls, these are my sons, Nolan and Shawn. " Her voice sounded nervous, like she was scared we wouldn't get along. I nodded.

" Well Hi Nolan, hi Shawn! My name is Lacey, it's spelled L-a-c-e-y. Would you like to hear about what I learned in school!?! " she asked excitedly. Both boys just looked at her like they didn't know how to respond. " Uh, can I hear about it after dinner? " Nolan asked, his dark hair the perfect length, not too long but not too short. Her eyes lit up after he asked that, and she nodded and quickly stuffed the last of her green beans in her mouth.
"I'm done, I'll wait for you up stairs! " After putting her plate in the sink she rushed up stairs. I just continued to poke my roast and bean with my fork, avoiding conversation.

" Are you okay? " Dad gestured the question towards me. I nodded in respond, " I'm just not hungry, may I be excused? "

" Sure, put your plate on the counter. " I did as I was told and scurried to find my room, Anna had put name plates on the doors so we'd know who was where. I opened my door and noticed how amazing the room had looked. I had my own bathroom, a closet, and it was painted a dark maroon.
I had laid down on my new bed when there was a knock at the door, " Come in! " I shouted so they'd hear. It was Shawn and Nolan. Shawn had dark brown/chest nut hair and Nolan dark black/brown hair. They sat in my bed, and Shawn was playing with his lip ring. " Listen, we're not too fond of having sisters, so if you stay out of our way we won't have a problem, got it? " I nodded and they left.
