My name is Madeline Pierce, I'm eighteen, a senior in high school. My brother Sebastian Cole has a childhood friend named Cameron Foster, two years older than me, in sports school. He and my brother are inseparable, coming over every week to play video games, but before, he never even bothered to say hi when he saw me. Today Sebastian went out to buy something, and I was curled up on the bed in a camisole and shorts, reading. Cameron pushed the door open, mistaking my room for my brother's. He stood frozen at the doorway for several seconds, his gaze sliding over my legs and bouncing back, his Adam's apple shifting. I closed the book, suddenly feeling there was something different about him today.
