The reporter's question hung in the air, and for one horrible moment, I forgot how to breathe.“Was the man in this photograph Sean Kane or Chris Kane?”Every face turned toward me. Susan stood with her lips pressed into a thin line, while the reporter held the photograph closer to the camera, making sure everyone watching could see it.My face was unmistakable, even with the terrible angle of the shot. The man kissing me was dressed in a black suit, his face turned away from the camera, one hand resting against my waist.I wanted to disappear.“I think you've mistaken what you're seeing,” I managed to say, forcing my lips into something resembling a smile. “It's a wedding, and people take photographs all the time.”The reporter's smile widened as though I'd just handed him another reason to continue.“Of course, but this photograph appears to show you kissing one of your new stepbrothers. Surely you can tell us which one.”My stomach twisted.New stepbrothers.The words sounded so m

My secret has become Maryville's favourite topic of discussion.My notifications were overflowing, my social media accounts were flooded with messages from people I barely knew. The photograph of me kissing a mysterious man in a black suit had somehow found its way onto almost every gossip page in Maryville.The headlines were even worse.KANE FAMILY WEDDING SCANDAL: SUSAN KANE'S STEP DAUGHTER CAUGHT KISSING ONE OF HER STEPBROTHERS.WHO IS THE MYSTERY MAN? CHRIS OR SEAN KANE?SUSAN KANE'S MAYORAL AMBITIONS THREATENED BY FAMILY CONTROVERSY.Oh, wonderful. Now I was threatening Susan's political career before I had even brushed my teeth.Susan wanted to run in the next mayoral election and apparently, the public's opinion of her family mattered almost as much as the election itself.Unfortunately for her, I pulled her into a scandal. I had always thought the students at Maryville High School were jobless because they could turn a simple misunderstanding into a week-long discussion, bu

“Rebel, open the door. We need to talk.”Chris's voice came through the door, and I stared at it for several seconds. After everything that had happened downstairs, the last thing I wanted was another argument. Especially with the one person I had hoped would understand how I felt. Yet, judging by the tension in his voice, he wasn't planning to leave until I let him in.I unlocked the door and pulled it open.“Come in.”Chris stepped inside, and I shut the door behind him before turning to face him.“So, what do you want to talk about?”His eyebrows drew together. “Are you seriously going to do this?”“Do what?”“Act like I'm the enemy.”“You don't have to act like one for me to feel as though you're treating me like one.”“That's ridiculous, Rebel.”“Everything I say is ridiculous whenever you don't like hearing it.”He dragged a hand through his hair, clearly fighting to keep his temper under control. “I came here to check on you, not to fight.m I'm trying not to make things wors

For the first time in days, I woke up without crying.It wasn't because my heart had magically healed overnight or because I had suddenly forgotten the boy who had managed to break it with a few careless words. I simply couldn't afford to keep crying over someone who had looked me in the eye and called what we shared a mistake.Chris had made his choice, and I had finally made mine.I was done.The wedding was over, the guests had gone home, and Susan could return to worrying about her mayoral campaign without having to deal with my existence for a few days. As for me, I was going back to school, where at least I could pretend my life revolved around assignments, classes, and the occasional ridiculous drama rather than the two brothers I had somehow managed to develop feelings for.I got out of bed early, showered, and dressed, I examined myself in the mirror, looking for any sign that the past few days had left me looking as miserable as I felt.My eyes were no longer swollen, and

I had barely reached my locker when Ivy appeared beside me, wearing the uncertain smile of someone who wasn't sure whether she would be welcomed or told to get lost.“Rebel, can we talk?”I continued arranging my books without looking at her. “I'm busy.”“You haven't even heard what I want to say.”“And yet, somehow, I already know I don't want to hear it.”She fell silent, and I could almost feel her staring at the side of my face, waiting for me to soften. A few weeks ago, I might have been willing to listen, especially if she had come to apologize for everything that had happened between us, but I was tired of giving people opportunities to hurt me twice.“I'm not trying to start anything,” she finally said. “I just thought we could talk like normal people.”“Then perhaps you should have thought about that before everything happened.”I shut my locker and walked away, leaving her standing there.It wasn't particularly satisfying, nor did I feel any better afterward, but I had made
