Brookelynne's Point of View 

Today is Saturday and Ethan, Grayson, and I are getting together this afternoon to work on our sound waves project for science. Honestly, this project is not hard at all. All you need is a poster or some other type of visual (if we are all being honest here, we chose the poster because it was the easiest and we are all too lazy to think of anything else) and a speech. That is the tricky part. I absolutely hate speeches. Like what is the point of standing in front of the whole class for five minutes talking about something that the whole class is talking about. I mean, once you hear it the first time, it is basically the same thing for all of the other groups.

This is why I want to make our project different, one to stand out from everyone else's. Well, not our whole project since we all have made plans on how to do the poster, so just the speech will stand out. I am not completely sure yet how, but it will.

I get out of bed to grab a bite to eat then get ready for Ethan and Grayson to come over. I am not going to really dress up because it is the weekend. I just put on a plain white shirt with some skinny jeans, my hair up in a messy bun, and just some mascara for the makeup.

 Is it bad that I am actually just a little bit excited for Ethan to come over? I mean yeah, sure I kind of like him, but it's not like we will ever be together. I mean, he is a nice, really attractive guy that I am sure that any girl would love to be with. Just look at me, I am just a quiet, shy nerd that I am pretty sure that no one even notices exist. I mean, Mr. Brown did say that I am the smartest person in the class. That is practically telling everyone in the whole class that I am a nerd. 

I heard a knock on the door and I instantly knew that it was Ethan and Grayson. I didn't have to race to get the door before my sister or mom because my sister is at her friend's house and my mom is at work. I ran towards the door with a huge smile spread across my face. As soon as I opened the door, that smile faded, at the door it was not Ethan and Grayson at all. It was Kevin. 

Kevin is the very annoying neighbor boy who has had a crush on me since I was in the fifth grade. He doesn't go to our school, actually, I am not quite sure if he even goes to school at all. "What do you want Kevin?" I asked already annoyed. "Why are you so eager to leave?" "I am not so eager for me to leave. I am so eager for you to leave." "Why? Are you going somewhere?" "No. I am expecting someone. Now, will you please leave?" "Sure, beautiful." I just rolled my eyes and slammed the door in his face. It sent a sharp chill down my spine when he called me 'beautiful'. It's not that I don't like the compliment, it's the way he said it. It was really creepy.

A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Ugh, it's probably Kevin again. What can he possibly want this time? When I opened the door, I was shocked. Remember that huge smile I had earlier? Well, it's back now. "Hey guys! Ready to start working on the project?" "Yep we brought the stuff." "That's great. I printed out the pictures and captions earlier. They are in my room, I'll go get them. You two make yourselves at home." I said to them and ran up to my room to get the pictures and captions for the project.

Ethan's Point of View

I decided to take Brooke's word and 'make myself at home'. Don't worry, I am not going to steal anything. I am just going to look around. I don't know where the rest of her family is and I hope that they are not home because if I get caught snooping around, I will be very embarrassed. "E, where are you going?" Asked Grayson. "I am making myself at home." "You aren't going to steal anything, are you?" "Relax, Gray, I am not going to steal anything and I don't know why you would think that I would." "Neither do I. I am just warning you." I just laughed and started walking around.

I was looking at some of the pictures on the walls and it looks like Brookelynne has a little sister. I smiled at how cute Brookelynne looks in this picture. She is just so beautiful, I wish I could date her, but I just know that she will never feel the same about me. I heard her coming down the stairs, so I thought that I should probably head back and join Grayson on the couch.

"Where do you guys wanna work at?" Brookelynne said as she was heading down the stairs. "Umm... I don't care. Right here is fine I guess." I responded. "Okay." She said and we set up a little work station on the living room floor. "So how do you guys wanna do this? We could draw the heading or use these letters that I just had in my room left over from the last project that I had to do." "Well, E and I are terrible at drawing, so we should use the letters. Unless you are good at drawing." Gray said."I stink at drawing too, so we should probably use the letters." Brookelynne said with a tiny giggle. 

We started putting our project together. For the heading, we found the letters to spell out, 'Sound Waves' and glued that on the top of our blue poster board. After that, we glues the pictures and the captions on. Lastly, we all put our names on it. "There." Brookelynne said with a sigh of relief. "That part is out of the way. Now, who has some ideas for the speeches?" No one said a word. "Oh come on guys, we have so come up with something.

"Here, I have an idea. Hold on, I am going to go upstairs to get my laptop and we can look up some information for our speech. I'll be right back." She said than ran upstairs. "We have gotten a lot done." I said to Grayson. "Yeah, a lot more than we would have gotten done alone." Grayson said and we both chuckled. I think that it is probably safe to say that Grayson and I are pretty big procrastinators when it comes to school projects.

Brookelynne's Point of View 

I grabbed my laptop and started to head back downstairs to look up some facts about sound waves. I am honestly horrible at making up speeches, so we will see how it goes. I have no clue why I mean it is honestly not that hard.we put together a speech and practiced it a few times. By the time we were done, my mom was already home from work and my sister was back from her friend's house. My mom was working on dinner, so she asked Ethan and Grayson if they wanted to stay and they said yes. She also invited Mr. and Mrs. Dolan and their sister, Cameron. 

When my sister got home, she leaned into my ear and said, "Twins? Nice! Which one was the one that you were freaking out over the other day? Please don't tell me that it is both of them because that is just wrong." Maddy said stretching out the 'g'. "Maddy, I don't like both of them, so don't worry. I like the one over there in the gray hat." I said pointing to Ethan. " I swear if you tell anyone and I mean anyone you are dead, alright?" "Okay, okay fine I will not tell anyone. Sister swear?" We did a sister swear. 

Dinner was great. We talked about school and such. It was pretty fun. If my parents come closer with Ethan and Grayson's parents, do you know what that means? That will be great news!! We said are goodbyes and after they left, it was about 10:30, so I got ready for bed. Today was a great day.
