Guilty g.d.

Grayson's POV

Reese just walked in the door and I quickly put my sketchbook back in the drawer next to my journal abut to the corner of the wall.

"Hey" she said while putting her room key on the command strip she installed and locking the door.

"Hi" I responded blankly as I grabbed my math notebooks and textbook out of my backpack.

She does the same and we do homework for a bit. We both finish and she goes to get dinner for the both of us including Ethan.

As soon as the door closes I rush back to drawer and grab my journal and sketchbook.

As soon as I open it, I get a knock at the door.

"What now?" I whispered under my breath.

It was Ethan.

I roll my eyes and answer the door.

"Why the long face bud?" He asks
I didn't answer him. I put my journal and sketchbook back in the drawer.

Why is it that every time I try to write or draw, somebody interrupts my free time.

"Are you ready for for tryouts gray?" He asked in an exciting tone.

"Yeah" I responded blankly.

"Listen bup, it's a great opportunity for college scholarships and-"

"Very time consuming" I cut him off.
I will have little to no time for my homework, let alone writing and drawing.

Ethan continues, "yes, but it's what we have been working for. It's why we wanted to come here in the first place."

I nod and take my phone out. That is true. We only came here for here for the football, or shall I say Ethan only came here for the football. Wherever Ethan goes I go as well. We are like a package deal, even football coaches have to take us both.

Ethan acknowledges that I'm not too excited about football and comes up with another solution.

"Well there is a Halloween party tomorrow night and we should go. I'm gonna bring Reese." He said then sat on her bed. He was standing this whole time while I was on my bed.

I was angry when he said he was brining Reese because I kind of wanted to bring Reese. I didn't really want to go to the party, but now that Reese was going, I was too.

But of course, Ethan is the prefect twin. Ethan is the nice one. He gets the girl. He is smart. I'm tired of being compared to Ethan. I always feel like I need to live up to the expectations people set for Ethan because we are twins. I want to do my own thing, but right now football seems to be the best thing for me. With my grades the only way for me to get into a good college is football.

To solve my small dilemma of not being able to bring Reese, I suggested "why don't we all go together."
"Sure" he responded, " I'll let Reese know."

"You'll let Reese know what?" Reese said when she settles the pizza box on her desk.

"About Grayson coming to the party with us"

"Oh" she responded.

Wow. That really makes me feel great. Note the sarcasm.

I calmed down and we all ate pizza.

After a while of me watching Ethan and Reese talk. I didn't say a word. Ethan left and I went on my phone. Reese sat on her bed.

Reese's POV

"Why didn't you say anything when Ethan was here, or whenever Ethan is here?"

He just looked at me and didn't say anything. I'm so confused by his actions. He is like a big mystery to me.

— but I am strangely attracted to to his misery.
