8、 we are together. Xu and I are true friends and we shall be good friends for ever. The Girl Who Never Became Our Sisterby Martine KlaassenMy sister and I were friends. Best friends. Where she went, I went. Where I went, she went. Together we had it all. Laughter, friendship and tears. The last thing

9、 we needed was another sister. Enter: my mothers new boyfriend. Along came Jenna the boyfriends daughter. Jenna was roughly the same age as us. Perhaps a few years younger, but that really didnt matter. My sister and I: we didnt need another sister, but mostly we didnt want another sister. After all

10、 we had each other and that was plenty.At first we only saw Jenna once in a while, but as our parents courted (求爱)we saw her more and more. We hated this. We didnt want to share our cookies and Barbie dolls with this stranger. Besides why would we? Last year, there had been another little girl. Her

11、Daddy told us that he loved our mother and one time in the yard he told my sister and I to hold hands with his little girl while he took a picture. Afterwards he laughed and said: “the three sisters on the lawn.” We never saw him again.And than all of a sudden Jenna and her dad started staying over.

12、 Sometimes it was planned. Sometimes it was unexpected. Out came the blankets and the extra pillows and suddenly there was a stranger sleeping on the floor of my pink bedroom. Jenna never said much. She just slept and the next morning she would go home. My mother never asked me whether I objected.Th

13、an they discussed moving in together. It never happened. My mother explained that there was baggage. He had two children. She had three. It was just too plicated. Instead we all moved to the same street. There were exactly 16 houses between their house and our house. I liked our house much better.So

14、metimes we would stay at Jennas house. I didnt like their house. All the furniture and even the carpet was blue. My sister and I would sleep in Jennas room and play with Jennas toys. I liked her toys. Especially her Barbie Horse. I had never seen anything like it. It looked so real.That summer we al

15、l went on vacation together. Camping. All of us in one big tent. It was so much fun. Whoever would lay the table in the morning would get an extra ice cream that day. Just imagine: two ice creams in one day. One afternoon we all went to the zoo. My sister and I liked the monkeys. So did Jenna. We be

16、came friends.When school started that fall, we would meet Jenna afterwards and play together. Not because her dad or our mom told us to, but because we wanted to. Sometimes we would play with our marbles, other times we played with our dolls. Jenna would always let me play with her Barbie Horse. We

17、were after all almost sisters.A few years later we started our own club: The Sunshine Girls. By now my sister was in Junior High. Jenna and I envied her like crazy. Once a week we would meet, eat potato chips in the dark of the attic and tell each other our darkest secrets. Jenna told us that she wa

18、s worried. Since she was living with her father, who was going to teach her how to apply make-up? It was a serious concern. We all agreed. My sister came up with the answer. We werent surprised: she was after all older than us and knew about these things. She would teach us. She would teach us both

19、how to apply make-up. It was genius.And than as quickly as Jenna had entered our lives she was jolted out of it. Gone. Vanished. But not really as she still lived only 16 doors away. Our parents split up. The break up was hostile. My mom told us not to speak to him again. One time we went over to se
