Hi, my name is Shanice and I'm from a little town in Egypt. I never expected my life to become so crazy!

While growing up I was an only child to an army Dad and housewife. We moved around quite a lot because of Dad's job.

When I was in 2nd grade Mom left for the supermarket and never returned. But, I always prayed she'd come back because a girl needs her mother.

Then one day during summer vacation all that changed because of her. Dad walked into the house with a brunette on his arm.

'Shanice, I'd like you to meet my wife, Gabbi."

"You're what?"

"Dad! How could you bring some stranger to live with us? Did you even consider how I'd feel about this?'

I stormed to my bedroom and slammed the door. 

Over the next few days, Dad applied for permanent residence, and enrolled me in some stupid preppy private school. I was stuck! 

I'd never been in a place for more than six months and I felt my anxiety grow. This was all Gabbi's fault and I needed to get rid of her!

One night I snuck into their bedroom and changed the time for their alarm clock. This made Gabbi late for an important meeting and she lost a client.

Another time I placed hair remover in Gabbi's shampoo and my favourite was adding dead worms to the top of Gabbi's cake. The oven smelled like burning fat for days.
