Chapter 1

Diana Elizabeth Campbell stepped off the train and helped her little sister, Heidi off. As they walked to get their luggage, Diana looked around the train station. Everything had changed so much in Alexandria since she had moved to Richmond since her parents had been forced to annul their marriage nine years ago. Her mother died about three months ago in a car accident and now Diana and Heidi were coming to live with their biological father and Diana's twin brother Julius. As she picked up hers and her nine-year-old sister's luggage, she heard a pair of annoying voices behind her.

"I wonder if that is her child? How can nice white girls become colored men's sluts?" Two middle-aged women were behind her and Heidi, shaking their heads. Diana was furious. How dare they expose her baby sister to such cruelty? She turned around to face them her face as hard as granite."Excuse me but I couldn't help overhearing your conversation. Now, I would rather not have you exposing my nine-year-old SISTER to this sort of racial discrimination. And one more thing, you call me a slut and you will wish you had never started talking about things that you know nothing about. C'mon Heidi, let's go find Ju-Ju and Papa." And with that Diana took a hold of her sister's hand, picked up her luggage, made sure Heidi has hers and walked off, leaving the two women in total shock.

"Sissy, what was that all about? What's a slut?" Heidi asked as they walked toward the doors. Diana sighed and bent down to the little girl's level.

"Those people are very ignorant and stubborn. A slut is something you will learn about when you are older.

Suddenly she heard her name being called. Julius Jeremiah Campbell was Diana's older brother by three minutes and he never let her forget it. Diana smiled and let herself to be pulled into his embrace.

"I missed you little sister. I haven't seen you since Easter." Julius came down on holidays and whenever he could. Their papa didn't come down at all because he was scared that they wouldn't like him. He didn't even know that their mother was pregnant with Heidi. Julius was sworn to secrecy about it. But now he would finally get a chance to meet his other little girl. Julius swept Heidi up and was giving her a piggyback ride when Diana heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Is that my Diana? My little Tweedy is all grown up." Tears came to Diana's eyes as she turned around and saw her father standing behind her with his mouth wide open. With a cry of delight, she ran into her father's arms and breathed in his scent. Nature and his aftershave, it was a scent that only belonged to her daddy, no one could copy it. Then she heard the little voice of her baby sister behind her.

"Dee-Dee, who is that?" Heidi inquired, cocking her head slightly. Diana let go of her father and took Heidi's hand.

"Heidi Danielle Campbell, I would like you to meet your daddy, Charles Jeremiah Campbell, your papa?" Their father looked shocked and asked Heidi,

"H-How old are you, Heidi?" His voice was shaking.

"I'm nine and a half. You have my sissy's eyes. Can I hug you?" Mr. Campbell looked at Diana and Diana smiled gently and nodded. Heidi's face broke into a smile and she ran into her father's arms and was lifted into the air saying over and over "I DO have a papa! I DO have a papa!" Tears were in both Julius' and Diana's eyes as they watched their sister hug their father for the first time.

"So, what has my big brother been up to?" Diana asked as the four walked toward the car. Julius sighed and Diana could tell it wasn't going to be pretty.

"They are integrating the schools." He said with another sigh. Diana stood there for a second slightly shocked

"T-They is integrating? In Alexandria?" Julius nodded.

Now Diana was not a racist person. Her mother was white and my father is black. She was worried about Heidi. She was both. Where would she go? These thoughts were momentarily thrown out of Diana's head when they reached the car.

"You ARE still going to play football right?" She asked. Julius looked at her like she had grown a second head.

"Girl, of course I am still going to play. I'm not going to let some racist white boys stop me from doing what I love the most." Diana laughed. Yep that was her stubborn twin all right.

By this time they had reached the Campbell's car and were loading the suitcases into the car. Julius and Heidi sat in back while Diana sat in front with her father. Diana smiled. This isn't the end. It is just the beginning.
