Peyton's POV
I followed the girls inside. "Mom?" I looked at Jaylen. "Can I talk to you?"
"Yeah." I glanced at Greyson asleep on the couch. "Let's go in the kitchen." She nodded. We walked in and sat down. "What's up?"
"There's a couple of things actually." She looked down. "The first thing is that I-" She looked at the door. "I uhm."
"Jay it's okay. Just tell me." She looked at me.
"I like girls?" She bit her lip. "I mean I like boys too but I've been a little attracted to girls lately."
"That's perfectly fine. It won't change anything." She smiled. "What else did you want to tell me?"
"Oh yeah. I-"
"Jay!"
Jaylen's POV
"Did you tell her?" I changed out of my dance clothes.
"Not all of it." I bit my lip.
"She'll find out sooner or later Jay. Tell her." Jayden walked out and I sat on my bed. My dad walked in and looked at me.
"What did you not tell?"
"Can I sing it instead?" He nodded and sat beside me, smiling. I looked away from him and softly sang, "I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick."
"Why didn't you tell her?" I looked at him.
"I was going to but Jayden called me." He nodded. "Am I weird for liking girls?"
"Of course not. I like your mom." He chuckled.
"Dad." I groaned. "Be serious. You're a man. I'm a sixteen year old girl."
"So? Your mom likes both genders." I looked at him. "That's a different story for a different time. But Jaylen, it's okay. Whether you date a girl or a guy, pick the right one."
"Are you giving me permission to date?" I smirked.
"No!" His eyes widened. "I never said that."
"I know. I was joking." He smiled, hugging me. "Thanks daddy."
"No problem." He got up, walking out. I followed him out and walked to the music room. Jayden looked up.
"Are you okay?" I nodded sitting at the piano. "What song are we doing?" She sat beside me, setting up the camera.
"I was thinking a mashup."
"We haven't done a mashup in a while." I nodded.
Jayden's POV
We made the video and transferred it to my laptop. "Okay nerd. Do your editing thing." I rolled my eyes at my sister, pushing my glasses up the bridge of my nose.
"Shut up brace face." I edited the video.
I finished and showed her. We posted it and I hugged her. I walked to my room. My phone buzzed.
'Kendall: Hi there.'
I smiled. Kendall was my best friend after my sister. He stood up for me when I got glasses in year 3 and when I first started my period and bled through my white skirt. He FaceTimed me.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Hey cutie." I took my glasses off. "Put them back on. You're beautiful."
"Best friends don't lie." I smiled putting them back on. He smiled.
"Well I wasn't lying. You'd know if I lied to you." He cocked an eyebrow. I shrugged rolling my eyes. "Anyway, I called to see if you wanted to come with me to the carnival."
"Just us?" He shook his head.
"You're a twin. Jaylen can come if she wants. And I'm bringing my brother too." We both had twin siblings and we both were the youngest. His mom and my parents were friends. "I'll be over in 5." He hung up and I looked at my messy room.
"Kendall and Kyle are coming." Jaylen nodded and walked downstairs. I cleaned my room and plugged in my Xbox. Jaylen walked in followed by Kyle and Kendall. "What's up?"
"Hey." Kyle sat on the bed and Kendall picked up the other controller.
"I'll go get the tissues." Jaylen got up
"So your sister has something to cry into when I beat her?" Kendall smirked. "She can use my shoulder."
"They're actually for you when you start dribbling." She put the box between us. "Last time she beat you and you were paralyzed from shock and dribbled on the floor."
After 6 games of Call of Duty, I one again. "Face it Kendall. I'm better than you at video games." I smiled.
"I still think you cheated." I looked at Kyle.
"I did not cheat. You want to play?" He nodded and I gave him my controller. "We're going to go get some snacks." Jaylen followed me out. We walked in the kitchen and fixed some snacks.
"I'm going to go get something." I nodded, pouring soda into glasses. Someone else joined me in the kitchen and I looked up.
"Hey." Kendall stood beside me. "Can we talk?"
"Sure." I put the soda back in the fridge, leaning against it.
"You know there's a party at Adam's coming up,"
"Sure Kendall." He looked at me, "I'll go with you." I smiled. He smiled at me.
"Thanks." I nodded and grabbed the snacks. He grabbed the drinks and followed me upstairs. "So about the carnival-"
"We're going." Jaylen looked up, taking the plate of pizza rolls. Kendall and I sat on my bed, opening the pack of Twizzlers. We laid down, my head on his stomach.
"Want one?" I looked at him and he nodded. I softly hit him in the face with one. He laughed, biting down and taking it from my hand.
"I hope your hands were clean." He looked down at me, chewing on the candy straw.
"Maybe." I smiled, biting one. He stopped chewing and stared down at me, wide eyed. "Relax. I washed my hands." I reached up, feeling on his face. He bit my finger, chuckling.
"Okay lovebirds-" I looked at Kyle playing Super Mario Kart with Jaylen.
"We're not in love. We're best friends." I stuck my tongue out at the back of his head.
"Whatever. So what are you two planning for your birthday next month?" Kyle looked away from the TV.
"Nothing." Jaylen shrugged.
"You're turning 17!" Kendall's chest vibrated as he spoke.
"Yeah but we really don't want to do anything. Maybe you guys can come over?" I looked at Jaylen.
"Well what should we get you for your birthday?"
"Nothing." Jaylen and I spoke at the same time. She stared at me and I at her. "That was creepy." We continued to talk in sync. "Stop-"
"Jayden shut up and Jaylen speak." I looked up at him and rolled my eyes.
"We don't want anything guys. Our parents and grandparents spoil us enough." Jaylen looked at me and I nodded.
"As best friends, we are obligated to spoil you babes." I sat up from laying on Kendall.
"Well now you are not allowed to do so." I stuck my tongue out. Jaylen and Kyle left the room, chatting.
"Jay can I tell you something?" I looked at Kendall.
"Of course." I turned to face him.
"Well there's this secret that-"
"Kendall let's go!" Kyle appeared in the doorway.
"We'll talk later." He nodded and I hugged him. "Bye guys."
"Bye love."
