What is wrong with me?

That seemed to be question that I asked myself a lot recently.

The walk away from Brielle seemed like forever, but I knew that I couldn't stay there with her, no matter how much I wanted to. When I finally reached my car, I got into the driver's seat, running my hands through my hair in frustration.

The problem wasn't that I regretted kissing her, it was that I didn't.

This wasn't supposed to happen. None of it was. I wasn't supposed to get feelings for her. I was supposed to stay focused on the plan.

Reel her in. Make her like me. Then break her heart.

That was always the goal. After I found out that she was Scott's little sister, and how much that bugged him, I knew that it had to be done. He needed to understand what it was like to see someone close to you wear away. To not even recognize who they were. To see someone that had been nothing but happy have their entire life fall apart in front of your eyes.

He deserved it.

But she didn't.

When I first saw her, with her chocolate-colored hair and deep brown eyes, she was the most beautiful girl that I ever saw. Not in the same way that Melanie and the waitress were. She was beautiful in a way that didn't require effort. She didn't need to try, or be something that she wasn't. There was something about the way that nothing seemed to faze her that wrapped me in, that I didn't know at the time.

I snapped out of my thoughts, putting the key into the ignition and starting the car. I just needed to get home and clear my head of what just happened. By the time that I got to my house, I was mentally exhausted. I collapsed onto the couch, closing my eyes, trying to fall asleep.

"Where were you?" Nicole said, plopping down next to me on the couch, a bowl of popcorn in her hand. I groaned as my eyes fluttered open, my potential nap now ruined.

"Did you not see that I was sleeping?" I grumbled.

"I did, I just chose to ignore it." She grabbed the remote off the table and turned on the TV. "What were you doing anyway. We were supposed to watch a movie after school today."
