Hey, guys! This is my new book, and I hope you all love it! I know that there wasn't much of an info, but I couldn't really explain it, plus it would give too much away. Hope you love it!

Chapter One:

Ethan's POV

I look up from my dinner plate and stare over at my sister, who looks pretty amused with giving me odd looks. "Stop it, Sam," I finally say.

She quirks her eyebrows and tucks her lips just above her top teeth, giving me crossed eyes. I roll my eyes and look back down at my plate. "So, Ethan, how was school today?" my mom asks from beside me.

I look up at her and give a gentle smile. "It was okay. My chemistry test wasn't so bad," I reply, stabbing a piece of steak.

"Did you find out your grade?"

I nod. "I got a B+. Not my best, but I did okay."

She simply nods back at me and continues to eat her food. I glance at Sam, who is still giving me weird looks. "Sam, just eat your food," my mom says calmly.

She scoffs and does as she's told. Mara finished her dinner-as she has the smallest portion-and runs to me, jumping into my arms. "Ethan, am I beautiful?" she asks, showing a space where her front teeth should be.

"More than the stars combined," I smile, kissing her forehead.

She giggles at my words and jumps off of me, running in the direction of the living room. "When will dad be home?" I ask my mom, who looks about done with her food.

"Um, he should be here in a half hour or so. Why?" she replies, checking her watch.

"No reason. He's just usually here by now."

She smiles and stands up, putting her food in the garbage can under the sink. She turns around and looks at Sam and I. "I'm gonna go and lay down. Ethan, until your father gets home, you're in charge," she orders, giving me a look of trust.

"Okay. Night, mom."

She nods stiffly and exits, leaving only Sam and I at the table to finish our food. "You know, Izzy gets into your room sometimes," Sam says out of nowhere.

"What?" I ask, not comprehending what she just said.

"Yeah. I just thought you should know that. Izzy really likes you."

"Izzy's only twelve. She doesn't know what she likes yet. And keep her out of my room. That's really creepy."

She shrugs. "Like yesterday, she wouldn't shut up about you. I wanted to strangle her."

I chuckled and Sam joined me. "Dana is the same way."

"Okay, your friends are creepy. Keep them away from the house. Just go to their house instead of here."

She shakes her head. "They won't want to hang out unless it's here. Why do they like you so much? You're Ethan," she says, sticking her tongue out in disgust.

"Oh my god!" I say dramatically like a gossip woman.

She tilts her head to the side. "Are you sure you aren't gay?"

I roll my eyes and stand up. Then just to play around, I flick my wrist down and gasp dramatically.

She laughs and almost falls out of her chair. "Why aren't you like this around other people?"
