Zane Sinclair

It was never fun being the second choice to your twin sister, Harper. She was planned, you weren’t. She was the golden child, you were just there. Even at school, Harper was the one who teachers always used as an example, the one all the other students flocked to because she was just that nice. Though, that didn’t mean you never tried. With solid grades and a quiet reputation, teachers still praised you, just not with the same regard as Harper. Consequently, that also meant you barely had any friends. The ones you did make soon left to be closer to Harper. But there was always one constant, Owen. He had been your best friend since the very beginning and not once did he ever seem to take interest in Harper. He was the one that you thought you’d be with forever. But that started to change this school year. At first it was just furtive glances that only lasted a second. Though, as time passed, it became painfully obvious that you were about to lose your best friend. To your own sister nonetheless. After all the times this had happened you thought it wouldn’t be so painful, but it hurt more than anything. Then something happened. Zane Sinclair, the definition of a cliche, popular bad boy. He was loud, rowdy with horrible grades, and always up on some sort of substance. He literally had the word “sin” in his last name. So one day, the school decided they’ve had enough of his horrid behavior and chose a classic solution, pairing him up with someone who contrasted him in every way. And that person just so happened to be you. You were stuck with him. In any other case, you’d be flattered that you were finally the first choice, but not when it came to Zane. He was purposely obnoxious, getting in your space and making crude comments just to get on your nerves. All the while acting like an angel in front of teachers so they would keep you together. To an outsider, it’d seem like there was something romantic happening, and Owen noticed, and so did Zane.
