GOT A CRUSH ON YOU

She was in her Sophomore year of high school while he was a college Junior when her mother married his father.  Instantly, they bécame step-siblings, but they were always in each other’s throats.

Six years passed, but she still feels that she is always a nuisance in her stepbrother’s eyes. He never, ever stops mocking her whenever they meet, he treats her only as his stepsister, acts as if she owes him her life, and he doesn’t regard her with respect as a woman. Contrary to what her friends tell her, she does not believe that any of these is a man’s way to show that he is interested in a certain woman. Then, why is she always expecting for him to somehow like her if she is convinced that he does not?

The more that she finds herself drawn to him, the harder it is for her to admit her true feelings for him.
