He is already 22, you’re only 18. He is the brother of your best friend; therefore, you are close to him, too. You had fun together, do crazy things together and worst, you also sleep together. But no touch, of course, just sleeps next to him. It was really hard for you to un-grow your feelings for him. You tried to avoid the sleepovers, the movie marathons and the tutors about algebra. Not because you hate him but because you have to. Because you have been sister-zoned. And it is indeed worse than friend-zoned because the tight hugs, the sweet forehead kisses and the little surprises don’t have any sensual meanings, just a plain thoughtfulness for a sister’s best friend. It really hurts, you must admit, but what can you do? Avoid him until your feelings are gone or enjoy that kind of relationship you have with him until you’re used with the pain? You choose.
