Chapter 1: Chosing My Family

Once a year we're given the same exact project. No one really understands why we do this but we just do. They call it "Playing House" cause what the school does is simulate a real life family by grouping us together. They give us roles in the family along with other guidelines. For the most part, I guess it's interesting. But depending on your partners, things could go terribly wrong. They only did this in high school. And this was senior year; my last year. So far, I'd lucked out with decent groups. And I felt lucky this time around too. But that all changed when I drew four names from a hat....and they were the last four people I'd ever want to be stuck living in a house with fake-related or not.
