Chapter 1: Stepbrother

I couldn't believe it at first. Yes, my parents acted strange lately, but a divorce? Come on. It was only yesterday when they came back from a concert. You'd think that trying to spend all that money on front row seats to get closer would be a good experience.

I couldn't accept this. The Koishikawas splitting their 'happy family' up? My parents are crazy, but switching partners? Tch.

"Miki, the Matsuuras are nice people." Rumi, my mom, said.

"I'm sure you'll like them after you get to know them, hun." Jin, my dad, said.

"But I don't want to be split up!" I protested. "You guys are being selfish!"

"Oh, hun, we're not going to split up!" Mom laughed.

"We're gonna buy a big house that we'll all live together in!" Smiled dad.

I couldn't believe my ears. Living with complete strangers? My parents are crazy!

"They're coming over for lunch today." Mom said. "You should go get dressed in something nice."

I climbed the stairs up to my room. I opened the door and slammed myself down onto my bed. I still can't believe them! Urgh! I knew I couldn't wait on the bed forever, so I wlked over to my closet and thought about what to put on.

"I think I'll wear this." I said to myself.

I picked out a pink tank top and some booty shorts with heart designs sewed into the back pockets. Then I put my thigh highs on.

Why me? I'm just an average teen. My parents are so weird!

When lunch time finally came my parents set the table. I heard a car pull up and my heart felt like it stopped beating. Here they are...

Everyone sat their things down and got a seat at the table. Then my parents started the introductions. I finally decided to look up at them.

"Miki, this is Chiyako Matsuura." Mom said, pointing to the woman sitting beside Dad. "And that's Youji Matsuura." The man sitting beside mom waved.

I almost gagged. Losers! Forcing myself to be polite, I waved and smiled to them. They looked like average business people. What I saw next, however, made me gasp.

A boy walked through the door, set his stuff down, then sat in the empty chair beside me that I hadn't noticed before. His face was emotionless, but he was HOT! One thing I wondered about though, was why he dressed like a Rock Star.

"Oh, and that's Yuu, their son." Dad said.

So he's my stepbrother? That sucks. Maybe he'll be on my side and help me with this crazy idea, though!

After lunch I was ready to say how I felt about this mess.

"Mom, Dad, you can't do this!" I said. "What about me and Yuu's feelings?"

They looked at Yuu. "I'm fine with it." He said

"Well Miki, looks like you're the only one who objects." They said.

I broke down in tears. "Fine!" I yelled, running to my room. "Get remarried!"

I'm fine with it? Urgh! That jerk! They're all crazy! It's not fair!

-Dear diary,

My family is so crazy! My new stapbrother Yuu is hot, but he's a jerk. Why's my life so miserable? I need to talk to Meiko!-

So I called her.
