Insignificant

I feel uneeded. Unwanted. Like I'm just the number two, behind-the-scenes guy nobody cares about. Phineas is the star. I'm in the background.

Don't get me wrong, I love my step-brother. But I think that he's getting all the attention when I'm doing just as much as him.

And don't even get me started on attention from girls. Phineas has more attention from girls than a pair of half-off shoes. And me? About as much as a half-chewed shoe. Phineas has more attention from all the Fireside girls, Candace (not in a romantic way at all, but Candace doesn't notice me half as much) and espeically Isabella.

Girls confuse me. I've wanted the attention from a girl for years, but not one notices me. An if I start liking a girl, she gets a boyfriend and starts forgetting I exist.

And Isabella. Ever since I found out Vanessa is dating Johnny, I have been attracted to Isabella. I mean, more than usual. But she doens't pay any more attention to me than Vanessa. I feel like giving up.

Last week Phineas had the idea to build a crazy skate-board ramp. Then he discovered the thing was too dangerous for the average human being (big surprise) and started building a suit to make him stronger, faster, and almost indestructable. It was a two-person suit, so one person could sit on top and do all the talking, and another good sit at the bottom and do all the work. Guess where I got put. Yup.

I don't know what happened while we were in the suit, but soon we were superheroes. Correction: Phineas was a superhero. Called the Beak. Phineas gave me a bit of an explantation of how he saved Baljeet, who was stuck in a tree. He told me we couldn't tell anyone who we were so we didn't put anyone in danger. Then Isabella showed up in our yard. I went in a kind of daze while i was looking at her. Raven black hair, bright blue eyes, and a fedora. Oh, she looked good in that fedora. I shook myself out of my daydreams and saw Phineas attemtping to protect Isabella by lying to her about what we were doing.

She left, and I felt forgotten once again. She never paid attention to me, just Phineas. Honestly, I think she's just as oblivious to love as Phineas is.
