Brook's P.O.V

My eyes flutter open to a beautiful spring/still very cold morning in New Jersey. Its all so weird getting used to the cold, before my family and I moved here we lived in Miami which was never as cold as this place is.

I finally decide to get up from my bed, I grab my cozy gray over sized hoodie and my fluffy slippers and I head downstairs.

I walk into the kitchen and there's a note on the fridge that reads: "we've gone out to sort some things out with the car dealer, we'll be back before lunch, we left 20 bucks inside the fridge. We love you and don't do anything stupid love, mom and dad"

I giggle under my breath, I open the fridge and grab the twenty bucks and stuff them in the front pocket of my hoodie. And randomly there's a knock on the door.

I walk towards the door and look through the peep hole and there's a young good looking guy with a box of cookies or something.

I swing open the door and he stands there in shock I guess, not expecting me to open the door.

After a long awkward pause I decided to ruin the silence

"Yes?" I say waiting for him to talk

"Uh...oh um m-my mom thought it would be nice to bake you guys some cookies and she decided that my brother and I should bring them over" he stutters out

"And where is this brother of yours?" I ask since he's the only person in sight

"Oh, ya he said he didn't wanna come" and he pauses for a second and eyes me up and down "well he sure missed out"
He whispers but I still heard him anyway and I can't help but turn bright red.

"Uh well since you're here why don't you come inside its freezing" I say gesturing him to come inside

"Thanks" he says walking in.

I grab the cookies from his hand and our hands lightly touch making us both flinch and I smile awkwardly and walk quickly to place the cookies on the kitchen counter.

"Um, take a seat. My parents aren't home right now cause they're at the car dealer or something" I say walking towards the couch in our living room.

"Cool. So, a beautiful girl like you should have a name right?" Says the guy and I smile

"Yup, I do have a name I'm guessing you have one too?" I respond and he smirks

"Yes, I do... It's Grayson" he says and he scoots closer to me on the couch and I scoot away and fold my legs and turn to him

"Nice name, can I call you Gray?" I ask

"Call me whatever you want, now... Can I know you're name?" He asks desperate for an answer

"Ya you seem like a cool guy, I think you could know my name now. It's Brook, well Brooklyn but I like Brook better" I say and he smiles

"Wow, that's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl like you" he says and I melt inside.

But I honestly don't know how he has this affect on me, I literally just met him less than 10 minutes ago.

"Well, Brooklyn it seems that we are gonna be good neighbors" he says and we both smile at each other

I lean and whisper in his ear "its Brook"

And he smirks, I get up from the couch and so does he

"Do you have a paper and pen I could borrow?" He asks and I look at him dumbfounded

"Uh.... ya" I say and I grab the note from the fridge and the pen they left and hand them to Grayson.

"Thanks" he says and it hits me. He's writing down his phone number.

"If you ever feel lonely, bored, or just need someone to talk to, just text or call this number" he says and hands me the paper and I smile

"I will" I say with a giggle

"Alright then, and oh one more thing" he says while we both walk towards the door

"If I don't have this birth mark on my chin it isn't me, it's my brother Ethan"

"You have a twin?" I ask

"Yup and he's also a little shorter" he says

"Well, nice to know" I say opening the door

"It was nice to meet you Brooklyn" he says with a smirk and offering me his hand so I could shake it.

I roll my eyes with small smile playing on my lips and place my hand in his and shake softly

"Nice meet you Gray" I say and he stays there and we don't break eye contact

"You have beautiful hazel eyes" and then he finally lets go of my hand

"Thanks" I say and he smiles and walks away.

I watch him as he walks away and he looks back with a smile and waves and I wave back smiling like a dork. and then I go inside and shut the door behind me.

I run upstairs and jump onto my bed and grab my phone and create a contact for this Grayson kid.

I put "Gray" as his contact name and enter his number.

And then like the retard I am, I decide to text him.

Text Convo:
B: Okay I'm bored now that you left

G: Miss me already? 😉

B: nah, I'm just bored and you should put my contact name as 'awesome, totally amazing, epic, rad, human being' most people have my saved on their phones like that 💁

G: well, that's totally rad and all but I think Brooklyn sounds better 😏

B: 😑

~~~

After that we texted for a while and talked about like our favorite shows and stuff.

So far this has been the best thing that happened ever since I moved.
