This is my first story. Constructive criticism is always welcome and encouraged. This will most likely be a really short story, just for me to get my footing.

A Different Kind of Family

Walking off the plane, she is shocked by the quick temperature change. A decent 25 degree difference between the airplane filled with cool midwest mountin air, to the humid corridor, smelling like an intense mixture of sweat, Ralph Lauren cologne, and a hint of disinfectant. Scrunching up her nose, tuning out the yapping tourists in front of her, she heaves her duffle bag over her shoulder, pushing her way through the crowd in search of something. Anything. A vibrating in her pocket startles her out of her concentration. Glancing down at the offending object, a slight smile graces her lips when she reads the name flashing across the screen. Tugging out one black and white Skull Candy bud from her ear, she slides open her phone, suddenly excited to be in this foreign place.

"Did you forget about me again Ky?" Ashley quickly quips into the speaker.

"You know it bitch!" her 17 year old sister, Kyla, yells back trying to be heard over the airport ruckus.

Chuckling lightly to herself, Ashley waits for the instructions she knows are coming.

"Come to baggage claim now!" Kyla screamed into the phone.

Ending the call and shoving the ear bud back in place and gliding her Ray Bans over her eys, following the signs, Ashley stalks off towards her family. Excited for the weeks ahead. Little did she know, her trip to this new world would change her life forever.
