My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

Manchmal ist es ziemlich blöd, wenn der beste Freund deines Bruders die nervigste Person auf Erden ist. Noch blöder ist es, wenn man plötzlich Gefühle für diesen entwickelt. Lexie kann Henry nicht leiden und Henry kann Lexie nicht leiden - ganz einfach eigentlich. Das ist schon seit ihrem ersten, unvergesslichen Zusammentreffen die Goldene Regel zwischen den beiden. Henry treibt Lexie an den Rand des Wahnsinns mit seinen frechen Sprüchen, aber auch er braucht Nerven aus Stahl, um ihr nicht bei der nächsten Gelegenheit ein Stück Tape auf den Mund zu kleben. Die Sache ist nur die: Dauernd dazu gezwungen zu sein, Zeit miteinander zu verbringen, lässt einen dann doch an seinem Hass zweifeln. © poisonedfreedom
