Noah looked at me with a complicated expression and then turned to Yale, saying, “Don’t say such disgusting things.”
That love letter was something I was delivering on someone else's behalf.
“This is from Megan; she asked me to help give it to Noah.”
Megan was my mom's daughter with her new husband and she was also my sister. We are in the same school but in different classes.
Noah had good grades and was handsome, so many girls at school like him.
They all asked me to help deliver love letters, but I refused them all. I only agreed to help Megan. After all, she was my sister.
However, after I said that, Noah threw the love letter in my face, gripping my chin and forcing me to look at the last line.
“After doing this, you don’t dare to admit it and want to pass the blame to someone else? Gyna, is this your upbringing?”
The signature at the bottom was not Megan's, but mine: Gyna.
“Noah, I will love you for the rest of my life; I and you will be together forever.”
I was stunned.
I went to confront Megan.
In front of Noah and Yale, Megan wore a look of confusion. “It’s the most important stage of senior year. I just want to focus on studying. Gyna, if you’re not studying, don’t drag me down.”
Noah tore the love letter into pieces and threw it at my face. “Disgusting.”
At that moment, the fragile peace I had managed to maintain shattered completely.
After they left, I saw Megan, who had looked confused earlier, suddenly smile.
“You’re not welcomed anywhere, Gyna. If I lived like you, I might as well just die.”
In that moment, I suddenly understood.
"Are you doing this on purpose?"
Megan didn't respond and turned to walk away.
That day, after school, Noah deliberately made the driver not wait for me. I carried my backpack alone, tears brimming in my eyes as I headed home.
I had always felt like an outsider, but in front of those two brothers, I felt even lower.
In Noah's eyes, I was a disgusting worm.
In Yale's eyes, I was a plaything who had debased myself.
Yale tidied himself up and followed Noah out. Just before leaving, he winked at me.
"Gyna, if you're really curious, I wouldn't mind keeping you company tonight. I'm not as rigid as Noah. I know a lot more. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Try what?"
Before I could even ask, Noah suddenly reached out and yanked Yale out.
"Get out!"
Then, the door in front of me slammed shut with a loud bang, shaking the walls.
