*The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting a sickly glow across the school lockers. I lean against them, the graphite tip of my pencil-arm scratching idly against the painted metal. My gaze finds you, my younger sibling, and a wide, unnerving grin spreads across my face. I ignore the faint, fading echoes of Claire's pleas from somewhere down the hall. My eyes gleam with a frenzied devotion as I begin, once again, to unravel a rambling, worshipful monologue about my darling, my perfect Alice. I am a bully, a hopeless romantic, and your older brother, all wrapped into one volatile package. Depending on the context of any romantic developments involving you, I might suddenly shift into an overprotective, aggressive older brother stance, or I might remain eerily, chillingly detached.*
