Born short
I was born short, and I would stay short. By high school I had capped out at 5 ft 1. I was shorter than nearly all the boys and most the girls too. I learned early on, after being teased about my short height that I would need to develop in other areas to defend myself. My dad was the high school wrestling coach, and he pushed me to join the team. I became a wrestler at a young age, developing some muscle and getting myself very lean. I was just under 100 pound weight division, and I did very well. I almost even qualified for state championship. Being a wrestler also got me friends I wouldn't have made otherwise. It helped build my confidence and it taught me tools to use against bullies.
During my senior year of high school, my dad started dating the high school volley ball coach, Mrs. Maddson. She was a beautiful middle aged woman. She was perfect for my dad in almost every way. The only funny thing was, my dad was short like me, just around 5 foot tall. However, Mrs. Maddson was nearly 6 ft tall. The height difference was somewhat comical, however, anyone who knew my dad, knew that his huge ego/ and his confidence more than made up for the height difference, so it wasn't that strange. I could tell within a few months that they had a special relationship, and my dad very much loved her.
Mrs. Maddson also had a daughter from a previous marriage, named Natalie.
Natalie was 3 years younger than Tristan. Their parents didn't get together until after Tristan had left for college, so Tristan didn't know much about her. She was almost the polar opposite of her older, conceited step-brother. For one, she was extremely tall; 6 '3' to be exact. She was a volley ball player and had the long legs to prove it. She was built sturdy, with broad shoulders, strong arms and thighs. Her body was very strong, but not super ripped, just thick. Where as Tristan was very lean and petite, Natalie was broad and large. When she hit 18, she developed into a very busty girl with a heavy chest and a fat butt to boot. Because of her beauty, her success in athletics, and her funny personality, Natalie became one of the most popular girls in school.
A Home Coming
I arrived home in the early afternoon, excited to see my dad. Before I could even knock on the door, it swung open. There, standing in front of me was a giant of a woman; an amazon; my little sister, Natalie. Because I was already so short, her 6 ft 1, made me feel like a child standing there. "So you must be my big brother, Tristan?" She said, smiling ear to ear, "For some reason, I expected you to be a little taller." I stared up at her in awe. Before I could say anything, my dad showed up behind her. She towered over both of us.
My dad introduced us. "Son, this is your new sister, Natalie. I know, she's a tall one, isn't she? Takes after her mom. You will both be living here this summer, so I hope you two can get the chance to know each other." She reached out a hand, and quickly shook mine. While she did, I saw that her hand was huge compared to mine, making my hand look like a child's; hers completely engulfing mine. I couldn't tell if it was my imagination, but I thought I caught a glimpse of her smiling at me in a mocking way. I quickly yanked my hand back. She then invited me into the house.
Being the shortest in most circumstances, it was nothing new to be shorter than a girl, but this was on a different level. And, I'd never had to live with someone so much taller than me before. I met my new stepmom and my dad was right, she was tall as well. Not quite as tall as her daughter, but certainly taller than both me and my dad.
I carried my stuff in and had a seat on the couch in the living room. Natalie came and sat down right next to me. Even sitting, I could tell just how much taller and bigger she was than me. While my feet were just barely touching the carpet, hers were flat on the ground, knees high up. I tried not to stare, but quickly noticed how much bigger her legs and thighs were compared to mine. She had tight, spandex volley ball shorts on, showing off her impressive, strong looking legs; they were big and beautiful and her skin looked silky and smooth. Again, I felt slightly intimidated by her size. "I can't believe you're in college!" Natalie teased, bringing my attention back up to her face, "I mean, no offense, but if I hadn't been told beforehand, I would think you were my age, or maybe younger." My dad and stepmom laughed at her comment. Not wanting to be awkward, or start any drama, I laughed along, "Yeah, I get that a lot."
My dad spoke up, "He might be on the short side, but your brother here was all state in wrestling. He was dominate on the mats, just like his old man!" My dad was proud of me for following in his footsteps, and knew just how hard it could be in this world as a short man. He'd always told Tristan to stand up for himself, especially to bullies, and went out of his way to stroke the boy's ego. Natalie looked impressed upon hearing about my high school wrestling career. "That is impressive," She said, "What was your weight class? Like, super light weight?" She said, again making the room laugh. "Hey now," Natalie's mom said, "You barley know Tristan, go easy on the joking." I again laughed along, trying not to show my embarrassment from her comment. The fact was, she was partially correct; I had wrestled in the lightest weight division for a high schooler.
We talked for a good hour, catching up and getting to know one another. I learned that Natalie was captain of the volley ball team and was very athletic. She was also a great student. I didn't feel like discussing my grades, as I had not done the best my first semester. I steered the conversation away from grades. Finally, after a long day of travel, I explained I'd like to move my stuff into my room and get a nap. Assuming I would get my old room in the basement, I began taking my bad downstairs.
"Where do you think you're going?" Natalie said, quickly walking towards me, "That's my room downstairs. You're upstairs, next to mom and dad's room." Suddenly, I stopped and turned around to face her. I had to crane my neck up as she stood over a foot taller than me. "Since when? I've always had the bedroom downstairs!" Natalie, stepped a little closer, and gazed down at me, and replied, "Since you moved away to college. I'm not moving all my stuff, just because you're coming home for the summer." I dropped my bag, took a deep breath, and called for my dad, "Dad, Natalie says she took my room! What the fuck?!" Natalie put her hands on her hips, looking annoyed that I was tattling on her.
My dad came into the kitchen quickly, followed by my stepmom. "Mom, would you tell my new step brother that the basement room is mine now?" My dad, sensing I was upset, quickly jumped in, "Tristan, I know you're used to sleeping downstairs, but when you moved out, it made more sense for Natalie to take the room. Afterall, you moved away to college." I was not happy and decided to express myself, loudly, "This is bullshit!" I shouted, turning red, "I can't believe you let this bitch take my room, dad!"
"Woah! Son! You do NOT use that language in this house! And especially towards your sister! As the oldest child, it's your job to try and set a good example!" My dad said sternly. Suddenly, my stepmom stepped in, "As someone in college I would have thought you'd be better behaved! You're acting like a little toddler throwing a fit!" She said, towering angrily above me. Natalie laughed at her mother's remark, and added, "He sort of looks like a toddler too! A little munchkin toddler!"
With that comment, I nearly blew up. But before I could, my dad jumped in again, "Natalie, that's not going to help the situation. Be respectful to your brother. He's your older brother now, and you need to be respectful. Both of you. Now then, Tristan, you will be in the upstairs room. And I don't want to hear another word about it! You understand?" I took a deep breath, grabbed my bags and started marching off loudly, up the stairs and into my new room -- which, by the way, is about 5 times smaller than the basement room. Plus, the upstairs room was painted pink -- as it used to be the nursery room.
This was going to be an interesting summer to say the least. I was determined to get the basement room, at any cost.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the next week, I settled back in to living at home. Natalie and I co-existed and were friendly to each other. At least whenever our parents were around. When they weren't, we seldom spoke to each other, and when we did, it usually wasn't very nice. I continued to vent about the room. She could have cared less, and I think even enjoyed whenever I started wining about it. "God, you sound like a little kid, crying for his mommy." For my dad's sake, I held my temper in check. For now. Dad had always taught me to stand up to bullies, but this was different; she was my little sister. Of course "little" was only in our age difference.
