My Stepsisters my best friend

Chapter 2

I sat awkwardly in my Dads car as we drove through the big estate. It wasn't long before my Dad pulled into a big drive way, big removal vans were parked outside. I opened the car door and grabbed one of my cardboard boxes with my stuff in. I walked up to the front door which was open my Dad was standing behind me, I slowly walked in, the front door opened into a big open plan kitchen, I walked over to the island and placed my box on it whilst my eyes wandered round the room.

"Skyla" a girl said standing on the stairs. I looked up to see Alexa.

"Alexa" I said, my Dad walked into the room.

"Hi I'm Alexa" she said to me. "oh hi Jason" she said smiling at my Dad.

Alexa ran down the stairs and pulled me into a hug "pretend you don't know me please" she whispered into my ear.

"Alexa why don't you show Skyla her room" my Dad said

"Sure follow me" Alexa and I both grabbed one of my boxes each and I followed her up the stairs. When we reached the top of the stairs Alexa turned to the right and pulled open a sliding door reviling another flight of stares.

"You see that there" Alexa said to me as she pontes over at a shelf built into the wall, "put your boxes in that" I walked over to it and put my box in, she did the same and then she pulled a leaver on the wall and the shelf started lifting up into the wall.

We walked up the stairs and appeared in a small hallway with five doors coming off it, two lead to bedrooms, one to a bathroom, one to a room with sofas and a tv in and the last lead out to a small balcony. Alexa walked towards the wall where a shelf the same as downstairs and both are boxes were in it.

"Your room is that one" she said smiling and pointing towards one of the doors. I grabbed one of the boxes and headed towards it, Alexa followed me. I looked around my new room it had a big window overlooking the garden, my bed stood at one side of the room with two bedside tables and and a wardrobe with sliding doors taking up the whole side of the other wall, the last wall in the room had a big desk and dressing table combo. I put my box down on the floor and went to sit on the bed.

"Will you tell me why you don't want my Dad and your Mum knowing that we know each other?"

"Because my Mum is desperate for me to make new friends and she has this idea that we will become best friends which we kind of already are but she doesn't know that because you have never met her as I have always lived with my Grandma and if we pretend we don't know each other my Mum will stop trying to make me find new friends"

"I don't fully understand because one what if she does recognise me and two she will probably notice and three won't she then just think she is perfect at finding friends for you and then try to get you to make friends with other people"

"Just relax we will just have to play this game for a few weeks and then we will just go back to normal, okay please just do this for me and because I didn't go to school with you."

"Okay, fine you owe me though"

"Yay" Alexa squealed pulling me into a hug " now let's go downstairs and get the rest of your boxes so we can put them in the dumb waiter and get unpacking, I still have loads to do as well"

We spent the next hour brining boxes up and down the stairs, both mine and Alexa's and every time we passed my Dad we pretended as if we were getting to know each other.

"Where's your Mum?" I asked as we walked up the stairs we the last lot of boxes.

"She's at her old house sorting out boxes and then she was going to my Grandmas to get her last boxes to take to the old peoples home"

"I hope your Grandmas okay"

"Same" Alexa said looking down.

I spent the next hour putting everything away. Alexa was doing the same.

"Hello, you must be Skyla" a tall blond hair Middle Aged women stood by the door, she looked just like Alexa.

"Hello" I said walking over to great here.

"I'm Katie" she said smiling at me.

"Pleasure meeting you" I say smiling at her.

"I see you've met Alexa"

"yeah she's really nice"

"Good you think so" she said smiling "dinners in 10minutes" she said walking.

I checked the time on my phone surprised to see it was nearly 8 o'clock.

I called my Mum quickly to tell her I was there safely. Annie answered the phone.

"Hello" I heard her voice say

"Annie"

"Skyla"

"Is Mummy there"

"Yeah, do you like your new house, when can I come and see it and when can I meet your new sister and your new Mummy"

"One step at a time Annie" I said laughing "I will see you tomorrow can I talk to Mummy now"

"Mummy" I heard Annie shout through the phone.

"Skyla" my Mum said

"Hi Mum, I just wanted you to know I have started in packing and the house is amazing"

"That's great to here honey"

"I need to go now as we are about to have dinner so I will see you tomorrow"

"Bye"

"Bye" I say before hanging up.

Before going down stairs, I knock on Alexa's door.

"I'm going down for dinner" u say poking my head around the door

"Okay I will be down in a minute"

Dinner went reasonably well me and Alexa had to pretend we has never met and that was pretty easy.

After dinner I said I was going to bed, Alexa followed me up. I went and I sat on my bed, Alexa came and sat next to me.

"We have a slight problem" I say to here

"Spill the beans" she smiling

"My Mum and sister know you and my sister wants to come round tomorrow to see the new house."

"That is a problem" she says biting her nails, she always did that when she was nervous.

"I mean I could tell my mum but Annie is only six and probably wouldn't understand"

"Well what about you tell your Mum and then see what she says and then if Annie comes then I will go out" she says

"That's not a bad idea for the time being"

"I'm going to bed now see you in the morning."

"Night" I say as Alexa walks out my room.
