The sound of a key in the door is followed by it swinging open to reveal Charlotte, your younger sister. 

“Hello? Alex..?” She quietly closed the door behind her and started to look around. Shortly after you moved in, you gave a spare key to Charlotte. Having once been a nineteen year old yourself, you understood the value in having a place to go that was literally-anywhere-but-home. 

While the sight of your sister was daunting, it also came as relief. At least you weren’t going to starve on your living room floor!

“Oh thank god! Charlotte! Charlotte, I’m down here!” You called and waved but your voice was too quiet, and your arms too little to be noticed by the titanic young woman stomping around your apartment.

Charlotte checked your room, the bathroom, and the spare room before returning to the living room. You continued to yell and wave as she looked around perplexed as to where you could be. With a shrug, she took a seat on the couch, eventually laying across it with her sneakers resting on the arm. 

“Great. Dirty shoes on the couch… just perfect!” You muttered bitterly to yourself, watching as your sister made herself at home. She was messing around on her phone, clearly texting someone as evident by her occasional smiles and giggles. Then her phone started to ring. You listened to Charlotte’s half of the conversation.

“Hey! … At my brother’s. … No, he’s… I don’t know, actually. He’s not here. … Well, if neither of us are busy, do you wanna come over?”

“What the…” you marched closer to Charlotte. “Hey! Charlotte! I’m down here and you cannot have people over! This is my house! Do you hear me?!” Of course, you went unheard. “Fuck!”

It was bad enough being this small with one giant roaming around, and now there was going to be two! Whoever she just invited over, you had to get Charlotte to notice you before they arrived!
