My Annoyingly Perfect Older Brother
Anonymous Sly Gossip #344 · General
So I have this older brother who's literally perfect. Well, not really, but he acts like it. He gets all the trophies, all the scholarships, all the girl friends (or so it seems). Anyway, one day we're doing our usual routine of me trying to beat his high scores on video games and him casually breezing past my best times with a shrug. Then I find out that he's secretly been sneaking into my room at night to practice. Like, what kind of cheater does that? It's not fair, but it just makes him seem even cooler when everyone asks how he did so well on this tournament or whatever. Now I'm pretty sure he can read minds because no matter what game we play, he knows exactly which one I'm going to pick next and beats me every time. Anyway, there was this one time when Mom told us both we had to clean the attic before she'd let us have dessert. We started arguing over who would do which parts of it, but then he just pulls out a list and says, 'Look, I've already divided everything up so you don't argue.' You know, that’s probably why everyone thinks he's better than me... because they're all just lying to themselves about what's actually happening. Of course, when we went down for dessert after finishing the chore, his half was spotless while mine looked like a tornado hit it. So here I am wondering if it's normal to feel this way about my brother who's basically perfect (but really isn't). Am I just overly sensitive or is there something more going on? Help!
