I had the perfect life. My parents adored me, I had tons of friends and my boyfriend Alex was the hottest boy at school. 

He was the captain of the football team and he drove a shiny new car. Every time he drove me to school, I saw a few girls turn green. I felt sorry for them, how did they even live?

Everyone loved me, except for my small sister Ivy. I didn't know what her problem was. Between you and me, I thought she was jealous. A few times I caught her in my bedroom trying on my clothes. Then there's that time I saw her drooling at Alex when he came over to swim in our pool. Ugh. As if he could even look at her twice. I bet he didn't even know she existed. 

Ivy and I looked nothing alike. I was tall with naturally blonde hair. She was a brunette and her height was average. So was everything else about her. That's why what she did next took everyone by surprise. Want to know what she did?

It was the last weekend of summer break. I'd just returned home after being away all summer and I couldn't wait to see my boyfriend Alex again. I bet he'd missed me. Correction, I know he'd missed me. Why else would he be throwing me a surprise welcome back party at his house? I wasn't supposed to know but my best friend Olivia was the biggest gossip at school. 

I'd just finished getting ready when mom announced that Alex had arrived. His timing was perfect. I even practiced my surprise face for when we arrived at his house for the party.
