Hanna's POV
"So, can we meet tonight?" Aria asked the four of us, Spencer, Ali, Emily and I.
"I can't." I whined.
"Why not?" Aria sighed.
"Because my mom is making me go out for dinner with her and Ted."
"Why?" Ali asked. "Won't it ruin the 'romantic' moment?"
"It's to meet his daughter and son."
"Oh, another Kate?" Spencer raised an eyebrow.
"Don't start... I couldn't deal with another one of her..."
"Well, what do you know about them?"
"Nothing. I'm assuming the girl is an annoying 18 year old who is just like Kate. But this time, she's going to take my mom and leave me."
"Hanna, we wouldn't let that happen to you."
"I think she starting school here though."
"Well, we won't leave you. And your mom would never leave you! She loves you too much!" Em reassured me.
I rolled my eyes and got up from the lunch table.

Classes start in about a minute, and I have Math.
-
Well, school is the worst place ever! I got an D on my English assignment. Shit.
My mom will kill me.
-
I got home ten mint yes after school finished.

I dumped my bag on the floor and flopped onto the sofa and flicked through the TV channels.

"Hanna, you should get ready soon. Dinner is at six." Mom told me.
"It's only 3:30."
"Yes, but you're Hanna. You take a while to get ready."
"Why though? Why do I even have to make an effort?"
"Because he is marrying me. I'm not dealing with you and his kids meeting at the god damn wedding and hating each other!"
"They are just going to be another Kate..." I muttered.
"Come on Hanna. For me?" I sighed.
"Fine..."

I went up to the bathroom and started running the water in the shower.

Soon enough the time rolled around and it was time to leave, even though I was still doing my makeup. Typical me :)

Mom dragged me out the house an into the car.

As we arrived outside the resteraunt, she stopped me from getting out.
"Hanna, don't make a scene. I promise I won't let what happened to you and father, happen to us. I promise."
I gave her a weak smile in return before rolling my eyes and getting out the car.

The two of us walked into the restaurant. Ted wasn't here yet. Good. It'll give me time to prepare myself!

It must have been at least a couple of minutes before they turned up.

"Hi Ted!" Mom smiled and kissed him.
"Hi Ashley. Hanna." He smiled at me. "This is my daughter, Alexa and my son Noah."
"Hi, you must be Hanna." A smallish girl said holding her hand out. I shook it quickly.
Okay, she does not look 18.
Noah looks a bit older than her, but he had his head buried in his phone.

We all sat at the table and looked through the menus.

"So, Hanna, I don't really know much about you." Alexa said as mom and Ted were talking to themselves.
"Well, my name is Hanna, I'm 18 and in the last year of school. I have a boyfriend named Caleb. Um, I have another stepsister, but on my dad's side. She's a bitch."
"I promise I won't be a bitch." Alexa laughed slightly.
"Thanks." I laughed. "What about you. You are not what I imagined."
"What did you imagine about me?"
"That you would be taller than me, blonde, 18 and bitchy."
"Oh, well I'm the opposite, unless you cross me or upset my friends or family. Then I'm a bitch. But, I'm 14. My favourite colours are blue, purple and black. I'm terrible at makeup and fashion, so I'm glad I have a big sister who looks stunning!"
"Awe thanks. So, what happened to your mom? Where you from?"
"I'm from New York. My mom-" She was cut off my Noah elbowing her in her the ribs. "Ow! What was that for?!"
"Don't talk about her..." He hissed to his sister.
She looked down at her hands. "Don't ask about her. It's none of your business."
"Noah!" She shouted at him. "Stop being so rude!"
"Well, she doesn't need to know."
"Fine, whatever..." He looked back down at his phone.
"What was that about?" I asked Alexa.
"Talking about our mom isn't an easy subject for him, so, we don't speak about her."
"Okay, tell me about your brother since her won't speak to me."
"He is quite protective over me. He is 17. Always on his phone, probably texting a girl or hacking the White House... Who knows." She laughed.
"Sounds like fun. My boyfriend is a computer geek. He does hacking stuff."
"Ooh, computer nerds..."

After dinner we left the restaurant.
I went back home with my mom after exchanging phone numbers with Alexa.

*next day*

"So, was it as bad as you thought?" Spencer asked closing her locker and looking at me.
"No. Well Noah, the son, seems like he's had a terrible past. He doesn't talk much. But he is 17."
"And what about the girl? Is she a mini Kate?" Ali asked.
"No. She's really sweet and funny. Her name is Alexa and she's only 14. That's her." I said showing them a picture of us.
"She's cute." Aria smiled.
"Yeah, I think she's excited to have a sister. I am too, a little sister, that should be good."
"Yeah, and you can do all the things Melissa and I should have done as sisters but never did because she was too busy being the perfect child." Spencer sighed.
"Hopefully."
-
As school came to an end. I drove home in my car and found a shit load of cardboard boxes lying in the garden.

I walked into the house and saw different pieces of furniture being carted about the house.

"Mom, what's going on?" I asked.
"Ted and his kids are moving in."
