Have any of you ever confessed your feelings to your crush only to get turned down? 

Well, that's happened to me not once, not twice but three times. 

In middle school, I confessed to the first boy I ever loved and was horribly rejected. In my freshman year, the same happened and in my final year, the same thing occurred. 

Is this some sort of curse? Am I being punished for the wrongs I did in my past life? If so then I apologize to whatever higher being is listening!

Did I fail to mention that all three of the very same guys I loved and adored are my new stepbrothers?! 

Yeah, didn't see that coming did you? 

Well......neither did I.

Are you serious right now?!

Stretching my arms to my sides I covered my mouth as a yawn came out my mouth.

"How are you already this tired when you just woke up?"

I turned to look at Harriet with tired eyes. Unlike my dark-circled and clammy-skinned self she looked put together as a wide smile graced her lips. She busied herself with the hand mirror in her hand as we walked down the hallway. Turning forward I shrugged my shoulders in answer.

"By the way what was up with you and your friends yesterday?"

"Well, the girls and I were sure we walked in on something you were doing but we're not sure exactly what"

"Oh, that. Don't worry about it. It's just us being our usual weird selves"
