Siena's pov

Afternoon

"Hey Siena!" My sister called out. She was walking with Vinnie by her side.

I dont know why but seeing them together just made me uncomfortable.

If i were a stranger I would assume that they were dating. Just by the way they look at each other.

"Hey." I wave at the two.

"Hey Siena." Vinnie grinned at me.

"Hi." i could already feel my palms get sweaty.

"Do you guys want to get something to eat?" Milan suggests as she glances over at me.

It was clear Vinnie was up for anything since he looked over at me for the answer.

"Yeah." I smile as we made our way to the nearest food spot.

"Uh actually i forgot i made plans with Tayler. But maybe i'll catch you guys later." Milan stared at her phone for a short second before waving off and running away.

"Guess its just the two of us." He chuckled softly as we continued our walk. "Now i'll get to know you even more." 

Great.

I was probably so red right now. I hate social anxiety right about now.

"Wait so you and Milan used to mix each other up when you were younger?" Vinnie let out the biggest laugh. He found it absolutely hysterical that Milan and i would mix up our own names.

"Yes." i laugh with him as i take a sip of my water.

"Do you like being a twin?" he questioned before taking another bite of his pizza.

"Yeah its cool. Milan and i were polar opposites, especially growing up so i don't think we ever once had matching outfits like other twins in the world."

"And what about you? any siblings?"

"Yeah. I have a little brother named Reggie. He's pretty cool."

"Does he go here?"

"Yeah. Which is funny because we rarely even run into each other here." he chuckled. "But we are pretty close."

"Sooo tell me Siena... what do you do in your free time?" He leaned back into his seat and looked directly at me.

"Uhhh..." I try and think. "Well i like to read." Yeah i sound like a total dork.

"Thats actually pretty cool. Whats your favorite?" He seemed invested in our talk.

"Okay if i'm being honest. This might sound cheesy but i love The Great Gatsby. Just the whole idea of Gatsby trying to win back someone he truly loves, but getting screwed over in the end. I think it was the first book that left me feeling something."

"Moral of the story.... fuck Daisy!" Vinnie added.

"You can say that again." I laugh.

Milan's pov

Same afternoon

"Okay so you and Vinnie liked each other, but Noah likes you and Siena likes Vinnie?"

"Yes. Thats exactly whats going on." I laugh as we both ran around the track.

"And you dont like Noah at all?"

"No i do like him. Not as much as i did with Vinnie, but then again i never gave him a chance." I shrug.

"I say you give Noah a chance."

"Yeah thats what i plan on doing. I really want my sister happy and if Vinnie is what makes her happy then she can have him." I stop to retie my shoe. "I even set them up earlier to hang out."

"How are you feeling?" He pouted as i struggled to retie it.

"Well i mean it sucks. I dont think ive ever got along with a guy as well as i did. But then again... theres plenty of fish in the sea." I force a smile.

"Okay you look like your struggling. Give me." He put his knee out so i could place my foot on it.

He tied my shoe with such ease.

"Okay enough about me. How are you Tayler?" I smile at him.

"Ohh im good. Im just living the single life for a while." He laughed as we continued our run.

"Well good for you." I glance over at him. "So no Charly?"

"No not as of right now. I texted her when the summer ended saying i wanted to be single. I'm not sure if i want to get into a relationship. What if I screw it up? Then there goes our friendship." He let out a sigh.

Our running gradually sped us.  I was trying to get in shape for soccer. And Tayler just wanted to not be lazy.

"I feel that. Like me and Ryland. We were such good friends. But our toxic relationship ruined it."

"Hey Milan!" We both turned our heads to see a shirtless Noah jogging towards us.

We both stopped in our tracks and smiled at him.

"Oh hey Noah!" Tayler patted his shoulder.

"Hey." Noah grinned at the two of us. "Can i join yall?"

"Actually i was about to go. But you two have a great time." He winked at me before running off.

"I brought you a water." Noah handed me the water.
