My Brother's Bestfriend

Chapter 1: Demigod

At that moment, Vortex knew he was in deep "Mom, I can't go to the same college as my brother!" Morticia exclaimed from the kitchen.

"Too late. You're already admitted. Besides, having your brother with you gives me peace of mind," her mother, Ava, replied calmly from the living room.

Rolling her eyes, Morticia peeked out from the kitchen, locking eyes with her mother.

"Mom, Vincent is a wizard. He literally tormented me in high school."

Vincent, lounging nearby with his legs crossed and sipping a smoothie, winked at her. Morticia felt the urge to gouge his eyes out.

"College is full of all kinds of people, Morty, and that scares me. I've been there-it's a whole new world. A sweet, innocent soul like you needs someone to guide you. Your brother's in his third year; he'll help you," her mother said, her tone final. Morticia knew there was no changing her mind.

"Stop overreacting, sis. I've always protected you in high school. Want me to start telling you all the stories?"

Sure, he protected her from bullies, but he also kept her from living a normal life. Vincent was one of the most popular, handsome guys in school-a great dancer, and every girl would swoon just to watch him.

Meanwhile, she was the nerdy sister, always in glasses, oversized sweatshirts, and a pale face. People approached her not for who she was but because of her brother.

She remembered her first relationship in high school. Her boyfriend dumped her after just three days.

He said, "C'mon Morticia, I only dated you because of your brother. He's hot, famous, and hard to approach. I thought dating you would get me closer to him, but he hates me. So, goodbye, Nerdy."

She also recalled overhearing a friend insult her behind her back.

"Are you really that clueless? I only befriended you because I have a crush on your brother. Just seeing him makes me wet. I thought being close to you would get me close to him, but I was wrong. He doesn't even notice me."

Morticia was just a shadow, insignificant next to him. People even questioned if they were really siblings because they seemed so different.

The only person who truly loved her for who she was was her best friend, who came from India, and though her family wasn't wealthy, she earned a scholarship to their high school.

They had planned to go to the same college, but Morticia knew her mother wouldn't agree, especially since the school wasn't up to her standards. Still, Morticia wanted to be with her true friend.

Now, that plan was shattered. Rhea would be devastated.

"When is Klaus coming over? I thought you said he was back from his trip," Morticia overheard her mother say. Her heart skipped a beat at the name-Klaus.

It sounded like music, but also like a nightmare.

If Vincent was a wizard, Klaus was the devil. Everything he did made her heart flutter, yet he broke it over and over again with each new girlfriend.

The girls he dumped often took their frustrations out on her, some even threatening to kill her.

'Stay away from Klaus, or I'll roast your pûssy' she recalled how one of those girls obsessed with Klaus slammed her back to the locker and threatened.

Some even secretly bullied her...

But it was impossible to avoid Klaus. He was always around, treating her like a little sister-a fact she hated.

She wanted him to look at her with affection, but she wasn't his type. He liked hot, sassy, and experienced girls. She was none of those things.

"Oh, he'll be here soon," her brother responded.
