Manipulation (Shadows)
“I’m sitting across the street from Dean’s apartment building with his brother’s address in my hands. It’s taken Dean years to try to find his brother. But I know where he is, and I can’t wait to tell him. I’ve walked up and down the short street two or three times. No one answered his door.
I’m glad I dressed simple today—T-shirt and jeans. I already feel like I stand out here. I realize quickly that there might be another door into his building or something. I can’t believe I didn’t think ...of that earlier. Maybe I’ll check Starbucks again.
I see Dean’s dark hair and bright smile from across the street. He’s walking next to a girl. My gut twists. It shouldn’t. I mean, we’re not specifically dating or anything. It’s just that I thought… She leans forward and kisses him on the cheek, and he doesn’t move away. I’m an idiot. She’s tiny and cute and has funky hair that I could never get away with. She’s sort of my opposite—or really, everything I’m not.MoreLess
