Can I Believe You || Sam Kiszka

Chapter 1

A/N- Yay! first chapter is out. I hope you enjoy. Again if there is anything wrong please feel free to tell me. Just a little heads up I most likely wont post a lot during may.... I know thats far away but just a forewarning...AP  testing sucks :p

"Hi" Really? That was really awkward. I've never really been a huge people person. I feel Like I give my trust too easily just to get my feelings hurt. I made a pact before I moved here that I wouldn't have any relationships. Just work on myself...and my dad.

"Who are you?" the brown haired girl asked.

She looked around my age. Maybe a little younger. There was a boy sitting next to her with an arm around her shoulder, two other boys who were sitting on the floor, and another boy sitting on the armchair.

"I'm Juniper, I'm staying here for a while. Why are you here?"

One of the boys sitting on the floor spoke first.

" Ms. Jenkins is our art teacher, She also happens to be our neighbor...oh how rude of me, my name is Josh."

He then went around the living room introducing everyone.

" this one is Jake" he said pointing next to him

He gave a kind smile and a wave.I couldn't help notice how similar they look. I'll ask about that later.

" That one is Danny," he pointed to the boy who was already waving on the armchair.

He then pointed to the girl who was cuddling into the side of the boy.

" That one is Veronica, but she goes by Ronnie" she smiled and said "hey".

Then there was the last boy. I couldn't help but find him attractive. It's kind of strange he's handsome and beautiful all at the same time.

Josh pointed to him and said, " that one is Sam"

He was the only one who put his hand out for me to shake it. I gently slide my hand in his for a friendly handshake. His hands were rough and calloused. I wondered what he did to make his beautiful hands in these conditions.

There was an awkward silence before my dad and aunt came in.

" Oh good, you've met these little rascals" my aunt said while ruffling Danny's hair. He huffed then proceeded to push her hand away. She chuckled and explained to them that I was her niece and needed a place to stay. She left out the part where my dad got fired and we didn't have any money. She said I was staying here as a getaway vacation.

After my aunt showed me to my room I started to unpack. The room was a small yellow room with a window adjacent to the door. A small bed was pushed up against the wall with a small side table next to it. There were framed paintings around the room, I assumed my aunt painted. The closet was fairly small with a small shelf and a place to hang my clothes.

As I was hanging up my clothes, I heard a knock on my door. I was expecting my dad when the door opened, but to my surprise it was Sam.

" Do you need any help?" He asked sheepishly.

" No, I think I've got it covered. Thanks though." I said sweetly.

" ...Okay" he paused before he left.

I felt like he wanted to say more but he didn't.

I finished unpacking and walked down the stairs. I heard the crackling of the fireplace and the soft noise of talking. As I reached the last step the voices diminished. I looked to my right into the warm

living room to see Sam and Jake staring at me. Sam had a light blush to his cheeks, while Jake was smirking at him. Sam sheepishly made his way over to me.

" The twins and I are going out for dinner if you'd like to join. We could show you around town if you'd like." he asked in an awkward tone.

"So they are twins" I thought.

" Yeah! That would be great. Just let me get changed." I told him kindly.

" ummm... yeah... we'll be down here when you're ready." he responded.

I changed into jeans and a sweater (because it's freezing). I pulled on my doc martens, then grabbed my coat and purse, then headed downstairs. All of the boys were in the living room sitting on the couch.

" Where's Ronnie?" I asked.

" She went out with her boyfriend." Jake said.

" I thought you were her boyfriend," I said pointing to Sam.

He made a disgusted face and said, " Ewwww...That's my sister."

"Oh" I thought. Come to think of it, they do kind of look similar.

" So are you all siblings?" I asked.

" No, Just Sam, Jake and I. Danny is our best friend" Josh said.

We were all interrupted by my stomach growling. I hadn't eaten all day due to the nerves of moving.

" I guess that's our cue to leave." Josh chuckled.

We made our way to the car. It was an old, beat up blue dodge. It looked to hold four people max.

" How are we all going to fit?" I asked concerned.

My cheeks started to heat up just thinking of sitting on a boys lap I just met.

" Hey Juniper, just sit on Sam's lap. I'm sure he won't mind" Jake motioned to Sam with a smirk.

I looked over to Sam who had a beet red face. I don't blame him, I wouldn't want some random person sitting on my lap, but I took the offer.

" okay, as long as you're okay with it" I asked Sam.

" yeah.. Um.. that's fine" he answered quickly.

Josh was driving, Jake was in the passenger's seat, Danny was behind Jake, me and Sam were sitting behind josh. Sam seemed to gain this new confidence as he slid his hands around my waist softly.

" Josh is a bad driver, we wouldn't want you to go flying now would we." he whispered in my ear sending chills down my body. I'm pretty sure he didn't notice because the truck jolted forward.
