Chapter 1

I push my aviators onto my head as I look out the car window. The warm ocean breeze hit my face through the open window and the scent of sea salt fills my nose. I close my eyes and inhale deeply. I'm finally home.

Long Beach Island has been my family's vacation destination ever since I could remember. My dad proposed to my mom here so it's especially special to them. Huh, that kinda rhymes. Someone sign me onto a record deal. Just kidding. I'm trash.

Anyways, as we pull into the driveway I jump out of the car before it could even come to a full stop.

"Sky, I get that you're excited, so are we. But please do not jump out of the car while it's still moving," my mom says when the car was parked.

"She just wants to be as savage as me Mom," my little brother, Ryan, says opening the trunk of the car and getting his bags.

"Yeah right. You wish you could be as savage as me," I roll my eyes and grab my own bags and longboard. I quickly unlock the front door and rush up into my room. It has midnight blue walls with polaroids hung up along it. My queen sized bed lies in the middle of the room in the same condition I left it in last summer. White pillows and a blanket was strewn over the bed with Christmas lights draped across the headboard above it. Tumblr would be proud of my masterpiece.

I walked over to my favorite part of the room. The balcony. When you open the glass doors, the balcony has the perfect view of the beach. You could see everything from here. The kids boogie boarding in the water. Diverse groups of people playing volleyball or throwing around a frisbee. The sun setting and rising. I guess you could say I was an aesthetic pleaser. This is what the internet *cough* tumblr again *cough* does to you.

I lean on the white railing as a couple of guys throwing around a football catches my eye. I couldn't see their faces but they had good throwing arms. Luckily since I had my attention on them, I was ready for the football that came flying towards me. I put my hands up, ready to catch the ball. The perfect spiral smacks against my hands.

I look up and see the two guys running up towards the house. Wait a second? Am I seeing double? Did I not actually catch the ball and did it hit me in the head? Oh shit no I'm not seeing double. They're twins.  A pair of really attractive twins that I've never seen before. They reach the house and I say whilst holding the ball, "You lose something boys?"

"Yeah I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to put that much power into my throw. But that was an amazing catch! I thought I might've taken you're head off and I'm way too young to go to jail. Not that I think I ever will," the one with with quiffed up hair says. I laugh. He seems adorable.

"Yeah that was impressive. You should have seen Grayson's face when he saw it going towards you. Bro, I thought you were gonna pee your pants."

Lord Almighty. This one's voice sent shivers down my back and I have no clue why. He looked almost exactly like his brother, Grayson I'm guessing, except he had sharper features. I brush off the thoughts and continue conversing with these twins.

"Hey at least he's wearing swimming trunks. It wouldn't be TOO noticeable. Wait. Never mind your trunks are dry, it would be noticeable."

Grayson flushes a bright pink hue as his brother goes into a fit. I throw the ball back at Grayson as he seems to be clear of mind-ish as his brother laughs it off.

"Hey you got a strong arm too. You wanna come down to the beach and throw this puppy around with us?" the sharper twin says once his giggle fit ceased.

"Yeah sure. Gimme a sec. I'll meet you guys at my front door. They nod in consent as I close my balcony doors and lock them. I grab my longboard and head down the stairs and tell my parents I'm going onto the beach with those twins and then longboarding after.

"Ok just be careful. If those boys try something kick them in the balls you hear me? Or sock em with your board," my dad says as I chuckle in response and nod. I exit the door to see the twins waiting.

"You longboard too? I like you even more," I blush at his comment, "I'm Ethan by the way. Ethan Dolan. And this is my twin brother Grayson."

I took a closer look at them . Dark brown hair. Hazel brown eyes. Then it all clicked and I realized, "Wait you guys are the Dolan Twins? My best friend Lauren loves your videos. And I'm Skylar by the way, but you can call me Sky."

"That's awesome. Maybe someday we can meet her. If she's anything like you I bet she's really cool." Grayson says.

"Eh she's ok. She's only the best soccer player in my school. What a noob. So are we playing ball or what?"
