Sandra was not in a good mood. The first night in a new house was always hard, but that wasn’t the worst of it. She had just found out that she would have to share her bedroom with her new stepsister, Reyna. In her old house, Sandra had been the only child. She hadn’t had to share anything with anybody—and she liked it that way. But now her mother had married Reyna’s father, and everything was different. Sandra’s mind was a knot of worries and fears.

Sandra’s mother stepped into the bedroom. She saw Sandra seated on the bed, staring sadly at the floor. “Sandra, I was hoping we could talk about Reyna. You know that she’s transferring to your middle school from her old one, and it’s hard to meet new people. Why don’t you help her by introducing her to your friends?”

Sandra looked at her mother in disbelief. “First I have to share my room, and now I have to share my friends?”

Her mother smiled gently. “Now, Sandra, it won’t be that bad. It might even be fun! You and Reyna are almost exactly the same age, so you have a lot in common. You can stay up late talking about school, and you can share your books. You might end up loving it!”

“I doubt it,” Sandra replied curtly. “She’ll just take my stuff, mess it up, and get in my way. She probably even snores.”

At this moment she heard a loud snort from the doorway, followed by a series of giggles. To her embarrassment, she realized that Reyna had heard the entire conversation from just outside the door!

“Nobody’s ever accused me of snoring before,” said Reyna, coming into the room and sitting on the bed across from Sandra’s. “Besides, I bet you snore even louder than I do. After all, your nose is bigger.”

Sandra opened her mouth to make an angry retort, but then she looked up and saw Reyna’s eyes twinkling. Tentatively, she smiled at Reyna’s joke.

“I brought you a muffin from the kitchen,” said Reyna, extending her hand. “I figured we’d better eat well today, since we’ll be having lunch in the school cafeteria tomorrow.”

“The food isn’t really that bad at my school,” replied Sandra. “Tomorrow is spaghetti day, and it’s usually OK. If you want, you could sit with my friends at lunch.”

“I’d love to,” said Reyna, with a pleased grin.

“I’ll leave you two alone,” said Sandra’s mother, smiling and closing the bedroom door behind her.
