Double the Trouble

A fresh start

(Iris's pov )
I looked in my mirror and examined myself. Tank top with a light brown cardigan, medium washed jeans, and light brown ankle boots with a small heel. I had my hair curled at the tips which looked good since my hair was pretty long. My mascara brought out my green eyes. Why did I care so much about how I looked? I don't care about the people at this new dumb school. As if it wasn't bad enough that I wouldn't know anyone, it wasn't even the beginning of the year. It was the last quarter but people's schedules changed and it seemed like the first day of school, which made my parents think it was a perfect time to move, but it wasn't. I'm ignoring all guys and just getting through today. This is a fresh start.

"Iris your gonna be late on your first day!!!" I heard my mom yell from downstairs. I ran down and ate the waffles she made and grabbed my car keys and bag. "Have fun!" I could hear my mom yell. "I won't."

It seemed way too short of a car ride and in no time I was there. This school was way bigger than my old one in Cali. I walked inside with my schedule and looked around until I bumped into someone and dropped everything. "Are you kidding me!" I yelled. I leaned down and the guy helped me grab all of my stuff. "I'm so sorry." I heard him say. "Yeah su.." I stopped once I looked up at him. He was hot. He handed me my stuff. "Thanks" I said. "No problem." He smiled,"I didn't catch your name" "Iris" I said as I shook his hand. "I'm Ethan" he replied,"are you new here?" I was still looking at him and just nodded my head. He smiled and took my schedule. "Let me walk you to your first class" I smiled shyly as we walked.

"Well looks like I'm lucky." He smiled.
"Why" I said.
"Because I get to spend the first half of my day with a beautiful girl, we have the same first 3 periods" he smirked.
"That's cool" I said calmly trying to hide how much I was blushing but he clearly saw and smiled.

We arrived at our home room and stood in a line until the teacher came out. "Good morning class, I'm your biology teacher Mrs. Divird. Please come in and take a seat where ever you'd like and just wait until I pass out a few papers." I moved my way through the line and lost Ethan on the way in. I couldn't see him so I just made my way to the back of the classroom and some random guy sat next to me and wouldn't stop staring at me. I was gonna say something until I saw someone tapping his shoulder. "You're in my seat," Ethan told the guy. The guy moved and Ethan sat right beside me and smiled and I just shook my head laughing.

The first 3 periods of my day went by really fast. It was all full of Ethan flirting with me and lots of laughing. He of course found his way to sit next to me in every class. It was lunch time now and we were making our way to the cafeteria until Ethan had to go to the bathroom. "Be right back don't let anyone steal you" he winked as he hugged me. I laughed kinda surprised by the hug but I just waited for him. I was looking around and I turned back to the direction of the bathroom and saw Ethan at the end of the hall but changed. I went up to him," how'd you get all the way over there so fast," I laughed. He looked at me kind of confused. I broke the silence," why'd you change?" He looked like he had just realized something and smiled. "Ohh," he said with a smirk. He got closer to me and was about to say something until I heard the bathroom door open. "Ethan?! What the hell?!" I yelled as I walked over  to him really confused. I looked back at the guy that looked exactly like him as he said,"As I was about to say before my brother rudely interrupted us, I'm Grayson, kinda wish I was Ethan today though so I coulda met you first babe" he winked. I rolled my eyes and looked back at Ethan with an 'explain' kind look. "That's my twin brother," Ethan said with an annoyed sigh. "Thanks for letting me know you had one so soon" I said sarcastically. They laughed and walked on both sides of me to the cafeteria.

As we got there everyone stared. We sat at a table with some other guys and me and Ethan were just talking but I felt Grayson's stare on me. "So what's our new girlfriends name," Grayson said with a cocky grin. Ethan shook his head and got closer to me and said," MY new friends name is Iris." Grayson smirked while staring at a piece of paper in his hands and looked at me and said," well looks like me and Iris might be even better friends, because by the looks of the schedule she dropped back there, me and her got the last 3 periods of our day together" he said handing my schedule back to me. I glared at him taking it back and looked at Ethan but he was giving Grayson a "back off" type of stare. The bell rang and Ethan gave me a hug and said," meet me after 6th period in front of the school and I'll show you where the cheer team practices since you said you wanna try out n all." I nodded my head and smiled at him and tried to navigate my way to my class but I couldn't find it. Ethan was already gone and I knew Grayson could help me but I didn't feel like being involved with him at all. He walked up behind me," you know you don't gotta walk alone babe we're going to the same place," he winked. "I don't need your help" I rolled my eyes. "Really cuz the class is back there" he laughed. I stood in place in embarrassment. I turned around and walked beside him while he smirked until we got to the class.

"Here we are princess." He said and I walked in in front of him annoyed. I looked for a seat next to a girl and found one and was relieved that Grayson wouldn't be sitting next to me. As I made my way to the seat a group of guys whistled and stared and I ignored them and kept walking until one slapped my ass. I was beyond pissed and was just about to slap him as I turned around until Grayson came up and punched him. I gasped and the guy fell back with a bloody nose. I looked at Grayson and he gave me a soft look and said,"I got you baby girl." I slightly smiled but then I realized that it didn't change that Grayson was bad news so I quickly turned around and sat next to the girl. The teacher finally came and didn't even notice the guy with the bloody nose and Grayson sat with some other guy on the table to my right and I could feel him looking at me the whole class so I tried to avoid it by making conversation with the girl. "I'm Iris" I smiled. "I know, I'm Katrina" she smiled back. I looked back at her confused,"How'd you know my name." I asked. "Half the school knows your name already. Your hanging out with the Dolan twins and they're all over you and judging by Grayson's little act right now, pretty protective too. Girls are jealous so your kinda the talk of the school right now, Ethan doesn't usually pay attention to any girl as serious as he does with you. He's sweet. Grayson on the other hand pays attention to every girl." She answered. I was dumbfounded and just nodded my head and looked at Grayson, but he was already looking at me. I broke our gaze and ignored him the rest of the class. At the end of class Katrina whispered," Just a little word of advice, don't get involved with Grayson. He's a player. He may seem charming but that's his game, don't fall for it. Here's my number text me sometime." She said smiling handing me a piece of paper. I took her advice. I wasn't gonna let Grayson get to me. Ethan on the other hand, maybe. Grayson somehow found a way to sit next to me in the last 2 classes but finally the day came to an end and I walked to the front of the school and waited for Ethan.

In literally no time Ethan walked up and gave me a hug and smiled," hello beautiful" I blushed and said,"hey."

He walked me to where the cheer team is normally at and then he went to his football practice because apparently him and Grayson were on the football team. I walked over to the girls and told the coach about how I wanted to try out. "Sure have you cheered before Hun?" She asked. I nodded my head. She walked me to the locker room and said," alright well you can change into some more comfortable clothes real quick and try out right now and if you make it just bring in your physical tomorrow and your on the team." She smiled.

Tryouts went out really fast and luckily I made it. I met Ethan by the guys locker room afterward like he asked me to and we walked to our cars together."Congrats on making the team Iris." He smiled. "Yeah congrats babe," Grayson winked. I ignored him as it was too easy to tell who was who already not only by the birthmark difference Ethan pointed out but by how different they really were.I gave Ethan a hug. "Alright well I guess I'll see you tomorrow." I smiled and got into my car while they got into theirs. I was driving home calmly until I realized they were following me? I pulled up to my house and they pulled up to the one right next door. I got out of my car right when they did." Is there a reason why you guys just parked in my neighbors driveway?" I laughed in a confusing way. Ethan smiled and said," because I guess we are your neighbors" Grayson looked at me and smirked,"Looks like I'll be seein even more of you babe." "Lucky me." I smiled sarcastically. Grayson winked. Maybe I was lucky though. Even though this meant dealing with Grayson's cocky remarks more it also meant more of Ethan which wasn't the worst thing in the world. I walked inside with a smile on my face like an idiot.

Hey guys! I'll be updating as soon and frequently as possible :)
