Half-Sister

Chapter 1, Packing for vacation

“Hey guys, you need to start packing for our trip. We are leaving for a month and you need to start packing”, mom said. “Ok fine, I will do one of them after I read this post from one of my friends”, Stella said while looking down at her phone. “Um, no you will get up and get this done. We are not waiting until the last minute. I am also not going to do your laundry for you. So if you got anything in there you want to go with us. You might want to get that done now”, mom said. “Ok, I will do it, give me a minute. I am halfway through it”, Stella said. “Why don't you go tell your son to pack also? I don't think he has done any of his packing. I am not the only kid in the house”, Stella said, looking up at her.

“Well, if there is not one thing of clothes in your suitcase you are going to have some problems”, mom said, getting up to make sure her son had his suitcase packed. “Hey, Frank, do you have any of your packing done?” mom said standing in the doorway to his room. “Yes I got half of it, which is one suitcase done”, Frank said looking up from his laptop on his lap. “That is good, keep it going. Ok, I am going to go see if Gianna is done”, mom said walking away and going down the hall to his sister's room.

“Gianna, do you have any of your packing done”, mom said walking into her room. “Yeah, I have everything done. I washed all the clothes I needed from the laundry. And I start one load of Stella’s for her”, Gianna said, turning around from her desk to look at her mom. “Ok nice, see you are always the first one done. Stella hasn't even started. Here I am going to put these at the bottom of the stairs. If you have to put anything else in here just let me know”, mom said, grabbing her two suitcases and leaving the room. “Ok, I will have fun, they may be a little heavy”, Gianna said, turning back around to what she was doing.

Frank came into Gianna’s room and was being his usual self, annoying. “So let me guess you pack your shorts and your shirts that show your tummy. And the bathing suit is probably a short and skimpy one”, Frank said, while sitting on her bed. “Would you leave me alone? Go finish your packing. You don't need to keep telling me what I can pack for the trip”, Gianna said, rolling her eyes at him. “I am all done. Now I can bug you”. he said, as my phone went off.

“Wow, who is this? Aaahh a text from Kyle. Let's see what he said”, Frank said, while picking up her phone. Gianna got up and was trying to get her phone from Frank. “Come on Frank, give me my phone. I am not going to say it again”, Gianna said, starting to get mad at him. “Why is there something in here I should not see?” Frank said, still holding her phone in his hands. “No you just don't need to go through my phone”, Gianna said while crossing her arms in front of her. “Fine here, just take it,” he told her. She went to take her phone. And he moved his hand and now is holding my phone over his head, where he knows I can’t reach it. “Let’s see, it was so nice to see you before you left for your break, Kyle text”, Frank said.

He read my text from Kyle.“Wait, what does he mean? He has not been over here”, Frank said, giving her a look. “Nothing you need to know about”, Gianna said with her arms still crossed over her chest. Then she grabbed her phone and texted Kyle back.

“Yeah, it was fun seeing you also. I could not stop laughing at that story you told me,” Gianna texted back.

“Either tell me what happened or I will go to mom with this”, Frank said. “Oh, yeah what are you going to say to her? Oh, Gianna is hiding something on her phone. And you don't know what it is. She will just look at you weird and whatever else”, Gianna said a little louder than she want it to be. “No, I will think of something to tell her. So tell me what he meant, Gianna”, Frank said crossing his arms now. “No, it’s nothing for you to know about”, Gianna said, sitting back down at her desk. Then my phone went off two more times. Frank grabbed it before I could get to it.

“Tell me or I can just go through your text. Sometimes you may find more than you need to know. So which is it, you tell me or I go through your phone”, Frank said, holding her phone up over his head again. I just sat there thinking for a minute. Then he started to go into my phone. “Stop, I will tell you, but you keep this between us, or I will kill you”, Gianna said, grabbing her phone out of his hands this time. “Yeah, you have to catch me first to kill me. Now tell me”, Freak said, sitting on the end of the bed. I went and shut my bedroom door. “Ok, last night, I might have snuck Kyle into my room and we talked and watched a movie. And in the morning he left”, Gianna said.

“For real, that is what you did the whole time he was here”, Frank said waiting for her answer. “Yeah, I mean it. That was all we did”, Gianna said, not looking at him while she answered it. “You did not try to do it. You did not try to have more fun in the room”, Frank said, with a small smile on his face.

“Well, we might have kissed here and there, but that's it. Keep this to yourself”, Gianna said, pointing her finger at him. “Ok, yeah I got it”, Frank said. “Ok, good now would you get out of my room”, Gianna said, pointing to the door again. “Ok, I am going now. But I got to say one thing. I bet you liked that kiss”, Frank said, while smirking at her. "RRRR. Get out", I said, going to throw her pen at him. Mom was coming back up the stairs. “Franks, would you leave Gianna alone”, mom said, pushing him away from her door. “And why would I want to do that? When it's way more fun messing with her, it's just too easy”, he said while laughing as he walked to his room.
