My room door swung open. 

"You know what day it is" Zen shouted as she flung herself onto my bed.

 She was right, I did know what day it was. It was the day that her new soon-to-be step sister moved in. I had heard quite a lot about her like her name, Lavender I think. But this was the first time they would both meet in person and Zen had wanted me to be there with her. Zen's real name is Aaliyah but  Zen was the nickname she has adopted over the years as she is quite cool headed and level with everyone.

You could say we were both joined at the hip, as our mothers are still best friends after 20 years. My mom and her mom went to college together and were in the same sorority.

"Are you aware of the time. It's 2 in the morning, a time where normal people are sleeping," I  groggily stated. "Did my mom let you in?" 

"Nope, I let myself in" She waved the key about. She took off her shoes and climbed into bed with me. " I'm nervous, what if she's different to how she acts on Skype, what if she's a horrible bitch?"

"We can worry about this in the morning, when I can actually register your questions in my head,"

She gave a sigh and snuggled closer to me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The next thing we heard was my mother calling up the stairs "Girls, it's 11o'clock and Liyah, your dad just called, he wants you home now." 

" SHIT!!!! We were supposed to be there at 8!!" As she said that she ran in to the bathroom to brush her teeth and have a quick shower.

I did the same and by the time we were both clean and ready, it was quarter to 12. 

We got into  my matte black Range Rover Evoque and raced out of my gated Mansion and to Hers which was on the other side of town.

It was 12:06 by the time we got there. Tiptoeing to the front door, Liyah got her key ready. but before we could reach the door, the door swung open and there stood her dad.

 "Aaliyah, you're here!!" He exclaimed as he pulled her into a hug but when they were close enough, he whispered to us "You guys are 4 hours late. Now go say hi."

 He released her and gave me a quick hug before we hurried into the  living room. 

There was a woman sitting on the couch, i assume is Catherine. As soon as we entered the room, She embraced Zen.

"It's so nice to see you again Aaliyah," She said and then turned to me " Hi hun, what's your name?"

"I'm Violet, and you must be Catherine" I extended my arm, expecting a handshake but instead she yanked me into a hug.

"Oh, so you're the famous Violet!! I've heard a lot and  can't wait to get to know you" She said as she released me.

"Same to you" I said 

She was a little too jolly if you asked me...

Zen's dad then piped up "if you're wondering where Brooke is, she's somewhere around here, exploring. Can  you girls please make her welcome, it must be hard for her to move and have no one to speak to. why don't you take her out or something. Make her see the beautiful side of California."

Soon after that, we both left the room, in search of Brooke, first stop, her room. Aaliyah knocked on the door and waited for a reply. when we didn't get one, we opened the door. There stood boxes apon boxes of what we assumed was her stuff. 

"Well she's not in there. Maybe we should come back when she's actually here."

"Well we could at least make the effort to look for her" I said

"I have math homework due tomorrow which I haven't even started. I'm sure she'll turn up soon. But if you still wanna look for her be my guest. I'll be in my room if you need me!!!" and with that, Zen bounded up the stairs that led to our room without a second look back.

I carried on looking for this mysterious sister of hers. Honestly, if we were playing hide and seek, she sure would have won. 30 minutes into the search, I found her. She was sitting in the library, hunched up with a book in the corner. She didn't notice me when I walked in. 

"Hey, I'm Violet"

She didn't look up, as she couldn't hear, so I crouched down and repeated myself.

"Hey, I'm Violet."

She jumped at the sudden presence of another human. She removed her headphones and closed the book, then putting them both on the floor beside her. Now stood up, she introduced herself properly.

" Umm... I'm Brooke. I don't mean to be rude, but why are you here?"

"I was on a mission, I was looking for you. But anyway, now that I've found you, do you maybe wanna go starbucks with me and Zen? I'd understand if you wanna say no because you do have a lot of stuff to unpack. Wait... do you have starbucks in england?" Oh my goodness, I was rambling. I only do that when I'm nervous, which was never.

She chuckled lightly before replying "To answer your questions, yes and yes. Is it alright if I go freshen up though?"

"Sure, how about we meet here in 30?"

"See you then." Brooke picked up her belongings and walked out of the room, leaving me stunned.

She was honestly one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, with full lips and mesmerising green eyes and don't even get me started on her figure!

I was forcefully snapped out of my daydream when my phone alert went off.

Zen: hve u found her yet?xxxxxxxxxxxx

me: yep, she was in the library.get ready, we're going starbies in 20 xxxxxxxx

zen: Dunno if i can come, too much wrk 2 finish xxxxxxx

me: alrighty, be there in a sec xxxxxxxxx

When I got there, Zen was laying lazily on her bed with a pen in her hand, books spread all around her. She looked up at me.

"I'm hella sorry, but i'm so behind and this is all due in on Monday" she spoke

"It's cool, I'm sure we'll be fine,"

" Where's Brooke?" she stood up and looked around 

"She went to go get ready" I said while applying a coat of mascara.

"Okay, I'll come down and say hi before you guys leave"

Aaliyah sat back down on her bed and before we knew it, it was quarter past 1 and we were stood in the library, waiting for Brooke to show...
