"You sure you'll be ok without us?" My dad asks for the hundredths time. He carelessly lifts my luggage out of the car boot and drops it onto the pavement as he's going to be late for his flight. Without giving me say he interrupts me.
"Glad to hear, now let's quickly introduce you to Mr and Mrs Dolan". He places his hands on my back and pushes me as I stumble up towards the big house. We get to the door and knock, my stomach turning and twisting and I become more anxious.
"Amanda!" She brings my mum into a big hug and sways a little as she legs go.
"Daveeeeee" she gives him a knowing look and opens her arms widely, bringing him into a ,also, big hug.
Now it's my turn.
"Oliviaaaa" she sings in a high note.
"Hello" I awkwardly smile as she squeezes me, blocking my airways.
"You've gotten ever so big! Look how grown up you are". She giggles as she pinches my cheek, talking to me as if in a imbecile.
I'm not an imbecile.
I scrunched my nose up and I politely as possible swat her hand away, rubbing my cheek afterwards. "You're right I'm sorry, you're too old for that now. I guess I'm just a little excited that you'll be staying with us for a few months." She clapped her hands and squealed in excitement.
"We really have to go, I'm so sorry but were really late as it is and.." My mum started rambling on before Mrs Dolan interrupted her.
"She'll be fine! Now go otherwise you'll be even more late, and you can't afford that!" She shooed them away. She rested her hands on my shoulders and waved as my parents entered their car. I waved my hand and they waved theirs, and with that they were gone.
As I went to pick up my luggage, a tall figure came and took it right from my grasp. Before I can even glance at the person who just snatched my belongings they had gone back into the house.
"Ah, that's our son, Grayson." What. They have a son?
"Our other son is out at the moment. I'm sure you can introduce yourself later". They have two? Oh. Ok then.
I enter the house. Vanilla fills my nose and the warm homely feeling surrounds me almost immediately. Their house is quite big, bigger than mine. My eyes scann for the mysterious 'Grayson' who wandered off with my bags.
"Gray!" No answer.
"Grayson!" Still no answer. Suddenly I hear someone's phone ring. At first I thought it was mine, until I hear Mrs Dolan speak down the phone to the other line.
"Hello? Ethan! Yup... Ok... Yeah.. Sure... Ok... Ok...got it.... Yeah.... Ok I'll be five minutes..... Byebyebyebyebyebyebye" and she ended it.
"I'm so sorry to leave you like this but we have to go pick Ethan up, I'm sure Grayson will show you to your room. Speaking of Grayson... GRAYSON!!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, but still no answer.
"That boy. Anyway sweetheart, we'll be back before you know it. Oh and help yourself to anything want!" and just like that they were gone.
Silence filled the house and I stood there awkward and uncomfortable, not knowing what, or where, to go.
I held my hand on the banister and took a step, followed by another and another. The floorboards creaked one by on until I reached the top. The silence was still there, I could hear my own breathing. I looked around taking in my surroundings. There was a long hallway that as a lot of doors each side of it. I opened one bye one, trying to figure where I was staying. I opened a different door and a boy was lying on his back on his phone. I stood there for a moment, frozen. He didn't even acknowledge I was there.
"S-sorry I-I was just, U-um..." I didn't even realise how much I was stuttering, but I did realise how much of a idiot I sounded. I mentally head butted the wall, 'you actual idiot' I told myself.
"Your bags on the bed in the room next to mine. That's where you're staying". He didn't even look at me while he was talking. A blank expression all over his face as he carried on on his phone.
"Oh, ok.. Thank you". Silence.
"I said tha-"
"I know what you said". Once again he didn't even look up at me. He was so blunt towards me, he didn't even know me?. I still stood there frozen. Staring.
"Anything else I can help you with?" He finally looked up at me. He got up off his bed and walked towards me.
"I-" He was now face to face with me. I still stood there like a flippin potatoe.
"Good, now leave me alone and shut the door behind you" and with than he slammed the door in my face, making me jump back before the door could hit me in the face. Rude.
I walked into my 'bedroom', which was just like any normal bedroom. Plain white walls all around, a bed, a dressing table and a tall wooden wardrobe. It was nice, Cosy. I heaved my bag up from the floor from when Grayson 'dropped' it and starts to unpack. I hung all my clothes into the wardrobe and my shoes under my bed. My toiletries on my dressing table, I don't want my things in the bathroom where they're out in the open where people can go looking through them.
After I'd finished setting up my supposedly 'bedroom' I went down stairs to get a bottle of water.
"Thanks for picking me up mum" I heard a male voice say as the front door opened. He dropped his bags on the counter and went to go get a bottle of water out of the fridge. He was all muddy and sweaty, dressed in some sort of sport uniform. He turned around and all eyes were on me.
"Ethan this is Olivia, she'll be staying with us for a while" his mum introduced me.
"Olivia, this is Ethan". At first he started at me, looking me up head to toe making me feel a little uncomfortable. He politely smiled and went it to give me a hug.
"Nice to meet you, Olivia". I was surprised at his sudden movement, but hugged back.
"You too" I awkwardly smiled and pulled away. Then that's when I realised how much he looked like Grayson.
"Ohh my .. I mean, you look a lot like Grayson" I awkwardly giggled.
"Ohh yeah, my brother. Twins."
"Figured". That made him chuckle a little which made me smile.
"So, do you know where your room is? I can show you if yo-" he said pointing his thumb behind him.
"Oh no that's ok Grayson showed me, well, i mean I managed to find it" I laughed while fiddling with the hem of my shirt.
"Gray can be a bit of a handful sometimes.. You'll get used to it. I do" Ethan shrugged. It was quiet for a moment after that.
"Well it was lovely to meet you, Ethan" I smiled.
"And you" he smiled back. And with that I went upstairs to my room. Woah, how can then be twins? They're complete opposites?!
