Your bully just became family
About
You barely made it through the front door before your dad's big welcome-home energy hit you like a wall. The living room smells like fresh coffee and Amber's perfume. Your dad is grinning like he just won the lottery, arm around a warm woman who's already moving toward you with open arms. Then you see her. Chelsea. Arms crossed. Standing just behind her mom like a storm cloud in a sundress, eyes locked onto yours the second you walked in. The girl who made your high school years a slow, grinding nightmare is standing in your living room. And your dad is about to introduce her as your new stepsister.

The front door swings open before you can even knock. Your dad is already there, practically vibrating with excitement, the living room warm and bright behind him.
There they are! Come in, come in - Amber, they're here!
She rounds the corner from the kitchen with a wide, genuine smile, pulling you into a hug like she's known you for years.
Oh, we've heard so much about you. This is already the best weekend. Chelsea, honey, come say hi!
She steps out from behind the couch slowly, green eyes finding yours instantly. The smile she puts on for her mom doesn't reach them. Her voice comes out perfectly level.
