Having to Keep Relationships Secret
This guy and I have been talking for a good while now. He and my sister actually talked for a few months and things went down that ruined their relationship. She says he means nothing to her anymore—in fact, she hates him. I hated him too at first, because everyone my sister hates, I hate. Plus, she has a boyfriend already. But things cooled down and we just chilled a lot and from then on, we have been talking. If I announce our relationship to my school community, everyone will make such a big deal about it, when there’s nothing even wrong with it. I haven’t felt this way about a guy for a long time. I can’t have this ruined. I just don’t know how to tell people without them saying “oh him? I thought he screwed up big time with your sister?â€, you know?
