Chapter #1A Normal Summer Morning... by: AshleyP  
*Beep*, *Beep*, *Beep*, *Be...
The alarm quiets as you once again slam on the snooze button. You look at it to see that it is 10:48 AM. "Guess it's time to get up," you think to yourself.
This was pretty typical for you lately. Since you had no job and no one to hang out with there was really no point to get up any earlier. James had been away for a week or so because his grandfather had passed away and his family had been making arrangements. You remember when your granddad died and felt bad for the guy, though you didn't know how close he was with his.
As you pull on your shirt, you leave the room and head toward the kitchen. You pass your sister's room on the way to find the door closed, like usual. Samantha was worse than you most days and would often stay in bed 'till noon. It might have been partially due to her late night runs, but she was really just ready to get out of here and escape to college.
Going down the stairs, you see your little brother sitting on the couch in front of the TV, controller in hand, shooting at somebody online. "Good morning," you say, but he is so focused on the game that he neglects to notice you. You just ignore it and arrive in the kitchen. "Hmm, cereal sounds good for breakfast today," you think. After fixing a bowl, you head back toward your room.
Passing Samantha's room once more, you hear giggling. "Weird, guess she's up, you think. You knock on her door and ask, "Good morning, what are you up to in there?" No answer. In fact, it just got dead quiet. You knock once more, but there is still no sound. Curious, you open the door to find no one in sight. There are just some scattered clothes all in front of the mirror, but your sister is missing. You could have sworn that you heard her, but where is she? Shaking it off, you just continue on with your day.
About 10 minutes later, after finishing your cereal, you head back out of your room toward the kitchen. You again pass your sister's room and the door is again closed. "Okay, something's up," you mumble. You then grab hold of the door knob and thrust the door open. Inside you find your sister standing there in front of her mirror wearing nothing but a black miniskirt and a bra to match. She jerks a look of surprise at you and just freezes. A little stunned too, you just stand there for a moment, saying nothing.
"What are you doing?" you finally ask, coming out of your trance. Still gawking at you, she hesitates, but then answers, "Well...this is a little strange I guess, huh. I wasn't sure how I was going to tell you, but I guess this makes it easier." "Tell me what?" you retort, a little confused. This situation felt so awkward and you just wanted to leave, but curiosity still held you in place.
"Chris," she started, " it's me...James."
