My stepbrother
I peel my eyes away from his and turn to look out the window, hoping to ease the pounding in my chest.
“What’s up?” I ask, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible. The bed shifts, and I know that he is no longer on it. I sit up and turn to him.
“Mom says we’re leaving in an hour.
“Okay, I'll get ready.”
“Don’t look too good. I don’t want to beat anybody up.” I furrow my brows, confused. Is he flirting with me? “As your older brother, of course,” he clarifies, probably after seeing the confusion on my face. Great, not only does he not like me. He sees me as a little sister now; please kill me.
