Between The Lines

Chapter 4

Ana's POV

As Christian walked into my sanctuary I had to admit to myself, he was pretty cute. I stood my ground, well sat my ground, and tried not to show my interest in his hottness.

"You know you should learn to knock before entering. I could've been naked." He glared at me.

"First, if you can get undressed that fast, that's a talent. Second I would not mind at all." He grinned a sly grin and winked. I scoffed and rolled my eyes to show my annoyance. I tried to hide a smile when he winked. I never noticed how you could get lost in his big brown eyes. Oh wow. They were quite mesmerizing weren't they?

"Erm... Ana? Did you hear me?" He asked. I didn't even realize he had even said anything.

"Uh...no."

"I like your room. I knew there was an addition. I just didn't know you were here."

"You weren't supposed to." I glared at him. Dear God, I will be a better person if you GET HIM OUT OF HERE. I didn't go to church but hell it was worth a try.

"What are you doing Saturday?" He asked. Wait what did he say. What am I doing Saturday? Probably practicing with Eric. Ugh no.

"You know. The usual. Hanging out with my friends. My posse. Yeah." He stared at me knowing I was lying. Damn you ARGENT.

"SO just Tori and Will?"

"Yeah." I gave up. No use fighting his charm. Wait did I really just say that. I need some serious help.

"I'll call you."

"You don't have my number." I said crossing my arms feeling slick only to be crushed seconds later by his slyness.

"Then I'll come here." Damn.

Christian's POV

After Ana so 'kindly' shoved me out the door, I reached for my phone to call Lenny. I looked down at my skateboard and realized I brought it and shrugged.

"Might as well get some good use outta you." I rode my skateboard home. By the time I got back, it was dark. I had stopped to get a slurpee from 7-11 and go to the skate park. It's not like there was anything really waiting for me at home anyway. I got the usual echo when I yelled for my mom and dad. I ran up the large staircase to my room. I threw my skateboard to the side and sighed looking at the GIGANTIC room. I compared it to Ana's in my head and realized that maybe I didn't really need this big room. Nah. Her room is cramped anyway. She would be blessed to have this room. I started overly thinking about her. Her blond hair. He blue eyes. Yup I need to stop. I sat on my bed and went online. I decided to try and find her on facebook. I logged on and typed 'Ana Gibson' in the search box. She was the first person to pop up and I clicked on her name. It took a while to load but it was worth the wait. I clicked on her photos first. There were ones of her and her mom, her and Eric, then I got to photos of her on a vacation. I tried to think back to see if Eric said anything about vacations. Ah... It was Hawaii. There was one picture I couldn't stop looking at. It was of Ana, Eric and a dolphin. Ana had her long, wavy, blond hair pulled back in a high ponytail. She had her eyes squinted, obviously laughing because her mouth was wide open, almost all of her white teeth showing. She looked as if she was pushing the dolphin away and the dolphin looked like it was laughing. Eric was on the other side laughing too. They were in their bathing suits. Ana had on a lime green bikini. She looked beautiful. I closed my laptop and sighed. What am I thinking? She isn't my type. I decided a nap would be good for my head. I would stop thinking nonsense so I layed my head on my dark blue pillow and slept.

"OH CHRISTIAN!" The voice was loud and clear and immediately woke me up. "CHRISTIAN!" It was so familiar. But it couldn't be. Daniel! I jumped out of my bed to get him but as soon as I reached for the doorknob my door opened and there he stood. Daniel Argent, my legendary brother. He was like an older version of me. Tall, tan and handsome. Ha at least thats what the girls tell me. We both have my moms dark brown hair. His tanness was fading from where he was going for college whilst I still had my nice tan. I was as tall as him now and I definitely shoved it in his face.

"Daniel! This is awesome. I can't believe you're here." We did the classic manly handshake/hug. He scanned my room. I had definitely changed it since he'd last seen it. I had a large desk that spread across my entire back wall. On the bottom were 3 cabinets and at the top a book shelf for basically all the books I own. I had pictures of baseball players on my desk and on my corkboard a baseball calender. At the very top, my baseball trophies. I love baseball. On my floor i had a green, grass like rug which my cleats were sprawled on. On the other wall was a mural of a concrete wall busting open that was decorated with grafitti. At the part where the concrete was busting open a baseball field was displayed. on the side of it a mirror so I could see how perfect I looked before school. I Had my guitar and skateboard put away so mom and dad couldn't yell at me for having a dirty room. My black and white varsity jacket sprawled across my bed.

"Nice." Daniel said. "So tell me? Any girls I should know about?" He winked at me and threw his arm over my shoulder and pulled me closer. He guided me out of my room and towards the stairs.

"Well there is one girl..."

Ana's POV

I stood before Eric blushing beyond belief. How could I tell him? Why should I tell him? No, He's my brother I have to.

"Okay yes its your hoodie." We laughed and he slapped my shoulder. Me and my brother had a fairly good relationship. Better than most of the brother and sister relationships in the world. We played sports together and even rode our skateboards to the skate park together. We had an amazing relationship except when there are the bad times. Like when Christian sent that picture. We got into it when we got home. Shoved each other even punched each other. It got serious when he threatened to snap my skateboard in half. Thinking about my skateboard and Christian reminded me about earlier. I couldn't believe what happened. I keep thinking that I was having a nightmare or something. I wanted to tell Eric, but why would I tell him his best friend tried to ask me out? Nah, I didn't need to tell him. It's not like Christian was just gonna show up asking for me. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. My dad ran like hell to the door yelling 'I GOT IT I GOT IT." We laughed and let him get it. Eric put on our favorite movie, White Chicks, and before we could even hit play the moment was ruined.

"Ana there is someone here for you." And from out behind my dad stepped Christian Argent.

"Oh hey Eric. I didn't know you would be here." And all Eric did was stare at me while both me and Christian blushed and Argent let out a little nervous laugh. Oh great. Here's another fight. Eric crossed his arms and stood next to me. He liked to think that he was older when we are twins. I'm technically 3 minutes older but that wouldn't stop him from telling everyone he was.

"So why are you here?" Eric asked. I suddenly felt my heart begin to race. I don't know why. It couldn't be because of Christian, He is such a douche, Yeah he is cute but that doesn't make him any less of a douche and I choose not to hang around douchey people.

"Well actually," Christian began. I shot him a death look. His eyes widened and at first I thought he got the hint. "I'm here to take Ana skateboarding."

"You're what?" Me and Eric said at the same time. I covered my mouth and Eric unfolded his arms. He walked over to Christian and grabbed his shirt. They were the same height and both rather muscular. I swear it looked like He was going to punch him. He whispered something to Christian that I couldn't hear and walked back to me.

"Well let's go." Christian said, looking dead at me. I didn't know what else to do so I walked right oast everyone and went outside. I was almost to my door when I heard footsteps running to me.

"So is that a yes?" I heard from behind. I didn't even turn around to answer him.

"Fine, Christian, I'll go." I walked into my room and shut the door. I hadn't yet changed from what I had worn to school so all I had to do was put on my converse and grab my board. I wasn't exactly happy with Christian for showing up but I didn't want to be rude. I walked out of my room and locked my door behind me. "Alright, are you ready?" I asked and he smiled and nodded. I got on my board and skated down my drive way with Christian close behind.
