Devin's life has never been easy, but he's made himself a comfortable routine and set himself some clear and strict boundaries. Don't entertain people whose intent is clearly to hurt him, don't let people make fun of him, and stand your ground. Tait is an exception. Only because Devin cannot for the life of him figure him out. Tait is a liar. Does he lie to tease Devin, or does he lie just for the hell of it? How in the world is Devin supposed to separate the lies from the truths when Tait lies so effortlessly and Devin struggles to understand even a simple metaphor? Despite the fact that Devin must frequently remind himself he wants nothing to do with Tait, he seems to be thinking about him an awful lot. Tait deceived Devin, and he won't get away with it.

If you asked anyone, they'd say my brother and I were close the kind of siblings who knew each other's moods before a word was even spoken. We weren't perfect, but we had our system. Five rules. That's how we survived growing up together. Rule 1: Never lie to each other. Rule 2: Always have each other's backs. Rule 3: Ask before borrowing anything. Rule 4: Don't embarrass each other in front of friends. Rule 5: Never.... ever....date each other's best friend. And for the longest time, those rules worked. They kept us balanced. Until he came along. Ethan. My brother's best friend. The boy with the calm eyes and the smile that could turn a bad day around. He'd been around for years, but I'd never really seen him. Not like this. I don't know when things changed. Maybe it was the way he started listening when I talked, or how he laughed a little differently when it was just us. Maybe it was the way my heart forgot all five rules whenever he looked at me. My name's Elena, by the way. I'm the one who was supposed to know better ... the one who swore she'd never cross that line. But the thing about rules is... they only work until something OR someone makes you want to break them. And the night everything changed, it wasn't supposed to mean anything. Just a conversation. Just a moment. Except now, I can't stop thinking about it. About him. About the one rule I can't seem to keep. My brother doesn't know. Not yet. But when he does... everything will change.
