"Casper, Jason and Sarah! Come meet your stepbrother" said my father and waved them over, but as the three heads started moving. I quickly realized that the three heads were not of kids, but of young teenagers! Teenagers around my age and height!

"Isaac, this is my eldest Casper" said my father and forced me to handshake one of my unknown brothers! "Hey, Isaac" I said simply just to make my father happy. "And this is Jason" continued my father and yet again forced our hands to meet, "And lastly, your little sister Sarah" said my father and I bent down, only to receive a hug from her?

"I didn't realize I had other siblings!" I uttered and tried to kill the awkward silence in the room, "Step-siblings" said Jason before he grabbed his phone and went upstairs, using one of the many stairs I discovered in the house.

I looked at my third brother... Casper? And I watched as we both looked each other up and down, before Sarah broke our involuntarily stare-off by asking me if I wanted to see her room.

I nodded and watched as the little girl jump around of joy and grabbed my hand to drag me up one of the stairways up to the second floor.

"Come! Come!" yelled the little girl continuously as she dragged me along the long hallway, past bedrooms and bathrooms, even a smaller living room where Jason sat on his phone. "Ignore him, he's boring!" said the little girl and kept on pulling at my arm.

The little girl dragged me to the end of the hallway and into a pink room. The room looked like as if barbie had thrown up all over the walls and floor! Sarah ran and jumped around the gigantic room in excitement and threw around a small teddy bear.

"Wow, your room is nice!" I said and admired the ceiling, which was the only thing in her room that wasn't hot-barbie barf-pink colored.

"Thank you!" said Sarah and sighed of exhaustion, "Do you want to see your room?" asked Sarah and suddenly got a quick boost of energy. "Sure" I replied and followed the small girl just across the hallway from her room and there it was, my room.

"Here it is!" said the little girl and opened my bedroom door to reveal a gigantic bedroom just like Sarah's, except that I didn't have ugly pink walls with a pink bed and pink floors. My room was neutral, a grey bed with a wooden bedframe with grey walls. "You can change the room however you want" said my father from the open bedroom door.

"Oh, thanks" I answer humbled and slightly confused. My father forced a smile as I turned around to face him and I watched as he wrapped his arm around his wife, but his forced smile was cut short though. When a voice got on the intercom in the house and said "Mr. Carter, the food is done".

"Ah! Dinner is served, come now son!" said my father and waved me over in his direction as he possibly knew that I might get lost in his big house. "So, how's school?" asked my father and neatly placed his hand around my shoulder as he led my down one of the stairways down to the first floor.

"Everything is good, I joined your old fraternity" I replied proudly and hoped for him to tell some of the many stories he seemed like he had back then, but he didn't. He just shook it off and further pushed me to their dining room.

"Ah, steak! Thank you, Trudy" said my father and hugged the shocked chef, before he waved for us all to sit down at the table. I looked at the dinner plate I had been given with a large steak, all to myself!

"So, does the fraternity still have it's crazy traditions and tasks?" asked my father enthusiastically and didn't even start to eat his steak, "Yeah, we had to jump out of a window, find a few notes and I had to play beer pong to prove myself" I replied and grabbed one of the three forks I had as well as one knife and looked the steak up and down and tried to figure out where to start.

"Ah! The good old days!" said my father and grabbed his knife and with one swift movement, cut a slice of the steak which he used to stuff his face.

"Are you in a fraternity?" asked Casper, the eldest of my stepbrothers. He was heavily built, bigger than what Justin was and taller than him too! "Yeah" I simply replied and looked at all my new brothers and my sister.

"Dad, why aren't we allowed to attend at the fraternity?" asked Casper and started cutting up a bite from his steak, "You're not allowed because of my previous mistakes!" said my father and accidentally spit out some of the steak he just ate.

The table turned silent after that. My father's behavior definitely shocked me, but also seemed to shock his other children.

"I'm sorry, let's continue to eat!" mumbled my father and devoured his steak within minutes! Me on the other hand used more time than usual, I tried to convince my father and the rest of my family that I was well-mannered, when I usually would just devour it like my father did.

Right after we finished dinner, we all just split. My brothers went their own way while my father and his wife went theirs. I looked to Sarah in hopes of her inviting me to do something, but she also went her own way with her eyes stuck to her phone.

I looked back to the kitchen, where the chef did the dishes and was way too busy to help me find my way.

I walked around up and down the many hallways, only to find the entrance where Chase had left my bags for me to carry up the grand staircase. I threw my bag over my shoulder and did the best to my effort to get my bags halfway up the stairs, only to be disturbed by Jason who walked beside me and didn't care that my leg was shacking from pain.

"Here, let me help you" said Casper and helped me with my bags and helped me get to my room, just in time for me to rest before bedtime.
