Despite seeing him with several women throughout my life, he’d never seen me with a guy before, and I secretly hoped this would be what he needed to get his head out of his ass.
I had absolutely no problem picking up guys, inheriting my mom’s big boobs, slender waist, and curvy ass. I began developing at a younger age than most of my friends, and not one time did Julian recognize that.
My brother did.
My parents did.
Most guys in town and at my school did.
Julian, nope. Nothing. Not so much as a, “Hey, you’re looking beautiful today.”
I was at my wit’s end. It wasn’t fair that he looked at every single girl other than me. I even saw him checking out some of the girls on my varsity cheerleading squad during practice one day when he unexpectedly picked me up.
I didn’t have a car. My parents wanted me to wait until I was seventeen, and I relied on my friends, Daniel, and my good ol’ bicycle for transportation. Making me feel like I was still a little girl, when in fact, I wasn’t.
I was a young woman, and I was determined to have Julian see me as something more than just his best friend’s little sister. How he couldn’t see I was madly in love with him only proved to me that men were stupid.
Or if he knew, he never showed it—always seeming unfazed by my presence.
The older he got, the more distant he became. Maybe it was because he was busy with school and other adult things, but the guy who used to take me to his shop didn’t anymore.
Out of the blue one day, he started pushing me away. At least it felt like that to me, and I hated it more than anything.
“You’ll always be my number one girl.”
Those seven words haunted me, hanging over my head like a freaking avalanche. Ready to pile on top of me at a moment’s notice.
Why did he say it if he didn’t mean it?
Those were the types of questions I constantly asked myself.
Over and over again.
Pushing away those thoughts, I walked up the stairs and smiled at Julian. He smiled back, and my stomach catapulted into somersaults, waiting for him to say something about my uniform.
Please notice me.
“Autumn, what the hell are you wearing?” Christian asked, his tone clipped.
“Oh my God. Leave her alone,” Kinley reprimanded him like she often did. “Babe, she’ll be seventeen in two weeks. You’ve met Daniel, so have your parents. Let her be.” She winked at me, and I smiled.
She was always on my side, knowing how overprotective my brother was. My gaze shifted toward Julian, praying he’d heard Christian commenting about my outfit.
He didn’t.
He was too busy sucking face with the blonde he’d brought with him. I rolled my eyes again; he was the king of oblivion.
“Daniel, let’s sit over here.” I popped a squat near Julian, closest to him—not the girl he was with. Enough to where he could see me and Daniel.
For the next hour, I fawned over Daniel, desperately trying to make Julian jealous, and not once he did bat an eye.
Not one ounce of emotion.
Reaction.
What do I need to do to get his attention?
Nothing ever worked.
