I'm Lisa, but I've always been the step-sister of that one jerk who thinks he can get away with anything just because he's older and more popular. My real name is actually Rachel, but nobody calls me that around here.

My mom married his dad when we were both in our late teens, so technically, they're related by marriage now. But what people don't understand is that their son is the actual reason for all the tension between us. He's always been a bit of an asshole and thinks he can just do whatever he wants without consequence.

As a kid, I was often bullied by him in school. We'd fight over stupid stuff like whose turn it was to play with this or that toy. It got so bad that our parents had to step in and separate us on several occasions. But even after we grew older, the teasing never really stopped. He still loves to goad me whenever he can.

Lately, though, I've found myself thinking about him differently than before. Maybe it's because of all the time we spent together last year when our parents went out of town for a week and left us home alone. During that time, things got...interesting between us. The kind of interesting where you're not sure if you should feel guilty or excited.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we may have grown up around each other all these years, but there's still so much we don't know about each other. Maybe this trip back home will be the perfect opportunity for us to finally clear the air once and for all...or maybe it'll just be another excuse for him to make my life even more miserable than it already is.

What do you think? Should I approach him about what happened last year or leave things as they are? And if I were you, would you want to know more about our complicated history with each other?
