"LAYLA!" I hear my brother yell down the stairs. Why does he do this on a Saturday?

"Ugh... WHAT?!" I walk to the stairs and yell back. Well? No reply. Ughhhhh I make my way up to his room. I push open his door. "What?"

"You met Matt here and you met Chris at school Tuesday right?" He asks.

"Yeah why? I've seen them in school all week. We talk strangely often." I question and state.

"I'm gonna go to theirs. You wanna come?" And meet the third hot triplet hell yeah- now I know he's gay which I love (and I already know I'm gonna love him because the other two are great too) but there's no chance he's not hot. Like I'm using the other two as an example. I've seen the others in school and talked to them loads but- I've still not met the other one.

"Sure I'm down." I play off my excitement and go to my room to get ready.

Jaden decides to take some pictures of us in the mirror... I then change my mind and go back upstairs to put on some black leggings and my white sneakers.

I walk out to the car. Jaden drives towards the triplets house and I throw on some music. Amazing by Orange County comes on and I sing along. We drive for 20 minutes before we get to their house. I go on my phone and on tiktok and see Chris... he's on my fyp. I become curios and click his account. My mouth hangs open as I scan my phone. 1.5M followers and 22.8M likes... wtf. Dude he's like famous famous, there's a linked insta so obviously I click it and look at some posts. SHIT. I shut my phone off and slap my forehead.

"What?" Jaden speaks.

"Nothing I'm fine."

"Mhmm yeah whatever you say" he moves his eyes back to the road. I LIKED THE POST. What the fuck is wrong with me.

"We're here." We climb out of the car and I hide behind Jaden when we get to the door.

"Hey" he peeks his head round Jaden. "Hey Layla." I just wave at the boy with shorter hair. Matt. "Come in guys."

"CHRIISSSS" I hear a squeaky kind of scream. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! STOP IT GET DOWN."

"No I'm having fun Nick can you get me a shirt." I can almost hear the smirk I'm assuming he has.

"CHRIS?! You don't need a shirt you need pants. WHY ARE YOU UP THERE IN YOUR BOXERS!!!" Ok up where?.

"I wanna slide down." Me, Matt and Jaden made our way into their hallway. I spot a boy with short hair but styled differently to matts looking up at the staircase. I was right. They're all hot. I follow his eyes up to Chris tilting my head at him.

"Hey Chris? What are you doing" I speak up to him before laughing.

He looks down to me "oh shit" I hear him mutter before he falls off the banister. Fuck! I run towards the brunette boy up the stairs.

"Hey Chris" I speak softly. "Are you ok" I ask as I hold his cheek to make sure he's good.

"GUYS?!! I found and Angel" I giggle at the boy on the floor.

"You hit your head?"

"Just a little bit. Wait... Layla? I didn't know you had a twin sister?!" He reaches out next to me and my eyes follow his hand...

I raise my eyebrows at the now delusional brunette. "Ok Chris let's get you up and sat down yeah" he nods "and how about some ice? That sound good?" He nods faster. "Ok here we go" i grab his hand to help him sit up against the wall. "Wait here I'll get you some ice" he leans his head against the wall as I make my way down.

"Is he good?" the third triplet asks me.

"Yeah but he hit his head do you guys have any ice?" I ask looking between Matt and Nick, I think his name is.

"Yeah come with me." I follow Nick into the kitchen.

"I'm Layla by the way." I smile.

"Oh I know those two would not stop talking about you when they got home after they met you" I laugh "I see why u seem real nice" he smiles handing me the ice. "I'm Nick. The normal one."

"Nick don't lie to her." Matt says behind us.

"Ok I'm the loud one" I smile towards Matt the back at the 'loud one'.

"I'm gonna show Jaden the games room." Matt speaks again before their footsteps wander away.

"Thank you. And nice to meet you. I'm the pretty one." I smirk towards the 5,11 boy, he's taller than the others.

"No your not!" I hear Jaden and roll my eyes...

"Anyway... kinda random but May as well get to know you... sooo. You got a boyfriend?" I ask him genuinely curious.

"How did you-" I smile. "No I haven't. We're all single round here. It sucks. What about you what team do you swing for?"

"Boys but I'm single too. Love throwing on a bit of Billie to remember how single I am sometimes." We laugh as we make our way up the stairs.

"Me too. Thanks for checking on Chris by the way. I'm so done with his drama today." I nod.

"Trust me. I get you. Jaden is a pain in my ass. Is Chris usually like this?" He nods almost instantly. I smile before turning to the boy sat on the floor against the wall. "Hey Chris. I got you some ice." I hold it to his head "you feel any better?"

"A bit" he reply's.

"I'm gonna get you some clothes ok." Nick runs to get the half naked boy something to wear.

I move and sit next to him on the floor. "You got that" i let go of the ice pack and just look at him. He's pretty.

"Sorry. For being weird. And in my boxers I didn't know you were gonna be here yet." I laugh at his apology. He doesn't need to be sorry. I'm pretty weird myself so I can't judge him.

"It's ok. Being weird isn't always bad. It's fun" I state.

"Until you fall off the banister" I smile sat him.

"Until you fall off the banister... your fine though. Now? Right?" I question.

"Yeah I've been better but I've been worse." He laughs.

"Here ya go big guy." Nick throws down some grey joggers and a white T shirt. "Come on Layla let's go get something to eat. Chris stop being weird." They laugh. "I love you" he blows a kiss down to his brother.

"Wait Nick." Awh he's gonna say ily too that's so cute. "Did you get my beanie" he smirks before Nick throws his beanie at his face and smiles before pulling me downstairs. I giggle at the two.

We all sit outside and watch Trevor run around the yard. I've had a good day... it started kinda weird with the Chris thing but were all trying to move past that funny moment for now so- I did however get really close with Nick today. He's real cool. We listed to some Billie and I showed him some songs he hadn't heard before. We filmed some TikTok's together that we posted a few minutes ago.

I've had a really good day with these guys and I can't wait to see more of them.
