PROLOGUE

This sucks.

What's wrong, you ask? Hmm...my name is Derek Venturi.

Ahhh, recognition. So you've heard then. Hell, most of Canada's probably heard by now.

I'm in love with my sister. Well, step-sister. And because I mentioned it, in passing, to Sam, my supposed best friend, the entire country is aware of this. Sam told Ralph, who decided to surprise nobody and be a moron by telling Sheldon. Why? I don't know. But the shit hit the fan once Sheldon remembered he was dating Emily and decided to pass on the good news to her.

Yeah. Emily knows.

The only one who doesn't know about this drama is one of the main characters. The beautiful, stubborn, brilliant, clumsy love of my life...and the only reason she doesn't know yet is because she's been on a sort of holiday with her dad in New York.

But she comes back in three days. What the hell am I going to do?

Everyone is going to be tripping over themselves to get to her first! They're all going to want to tell her that her annoying step-brother, who she just so happens to hate, has WAY more than friendly feelings towards her. She'll think it's a sick joke! She has to hear it from me...because...

Well that's how it should be, right?

I wonder if weird shit like this happens in the States?
