"Oliver get your ass over here and unpack these dishes!" Well I guess you already met my mom. As you probably figured out I'm Oliver

I'm 15, I have blonde hair that is naturally always in a quiff

Thank you mother for the best cowlick known to man

I have green-ish/hazel-ish eyes

I'm the oldest of four, me, my brother Evan, and my sister Aspen are triplets I'm older than Evan by 4 minutes and Aspen by 10 minutes, then we have a little sister who is 10 and her name is Tesslyn

Evan looked like our dad.

Same dirty blonde hair and green eyes.

Aspen looked like mom....... A lot. Long black straight hair and blue eyes.

Tesslyn also kinda looked like dad but she would never know, dad ditched us when Tess was about 1 or 2 so she didn't know him all that well.

Anyway she had hair like Evan's just it was always perfectly curled

That's my family and until recently we lived in Carlisle, South Carolina until our mom decided that we were going to do something spontaneous and moving to Savannah, Georgia seemed like the right thing to do

As for the rest of us, it was our ticket out, a clean slate if you will. So thanks mom.

Oh shit!

I ran downstairs to see mom tapping her foot next to the packed box full of dishes " I'm sorry mom I zoned out" she rolled her eyes

"I'm sorry I'll unpack them now" I said with a sigh "ok Ollie call Evan to come and help you" she said smiling as she walked upstairs

"EVAN!!!!! MOM WANTS YOU GUYS TO HELP ME UNPACK THE KITCHEN"

A few minutes later he came booming down the stairs his hair flopping around as he bounded down the stairs.

This kitchen was huge. The stove was really just a gray box with burners on it. The black electronic ovens were built into the wall.

The ovens really didn't fit the rest of the kitchen and the fridge was similar. They looked so odd in such a non-modern kitchen.

Is non-mordern even a word?

I don't think so.

Oh well.

By the time we were finished I was exhausted. Baseball practice before the drive here plus I didn't sleep the whole drive because of how uncomfortable I was, plus unpacking a ginormous kitchen.

Evan tapped me on the shoulder and gave me an evil smile.

"So I've been told that there is a baseball field not to far from here"

My exhaustion magically vanished as I smiled at him and we bolted up the stairs.

*****30 minutes later*****

We came booming down the stairs followed by Aspen with our stuff. We all decided to walk there since it wasn't that far away

As soon as we got there the field was empty so we set our things inside the dugout

**************

we all started to get pretty thirsty and because we are insanely smart we forgot to bring water.

Aspen went home to get some bottles for us, we sat and waited for her to get back when I saw a what looked like a very important baseball team called 'Heat'.

We got off the field and went into the stands I saw that they were about to play a game and they were short a few players

I slowly made my way up to the coach when I reached him I tapped him on the shoulder " good afternoon sir, my name is Oliver Lynch and this is my brother Evan.

He shook my hand "I'm Jackson nice to meet you boys, what do you need?"

I scratched the back of my neck "I- we noticed that you were just about to play a game and we're short a player or two"

He nodded

"I'm a decent catcher and second baseman and Evan is a phenomenal pitcher, but you can really put us anywhere you need us. We were wondering if you wanted pick us up for the game.

he sighed and called the team and the other coaches in for a huddle "alright boys just this one time though and if your good we'll talk about you having a permanent spot on the team"

Evan and I nodded excitedly and went to warm up with the other guys "hey bro, what's your name , I haven't seen you around, did you just move? tell us about yourself?"

I was quiet for a minute then took a deep breath "I'm Oliver Lynch and this is my brother Evan, and we have a twin sister Aspen and a younger sister Tess, we're fifteen" and I basically gave them the rundown.

They all asked at different times"cool bro is Tess hot?" I just sighed and said "umm dudes that's my sister and she's 10 so you be the judge of that"

*****

We kicked ass in the game with 'Heat' and Coach Jackson and my mom are debating wether or not we can play with them full time

well not really debating but coach begging and pleading, and mom saying she'll think about it.

**********

Me, Evan, Tess,and Aspen all walked to the field where 'Heat' practice was

no my mom didn't say yes she said to try out a practice with them, so me and Evan went to warm up

we were the first people there

me and Evan started out doing lazy throws then we started throwing harder until my hand stung from how hard he was throwing,

Evan was always the one with the arm and me and Aspen were the two that could bat like nobody could believe

so we moved on to hitting and fielding and every time I hit the ball, which was every time, he had to jump and catch them

when he batted I mainly kept my glove on the dirt

I guess coach and the team watched Evan field ,because I looked over and I saw the team and coach huddled in a circle talking

The team huddled around me and asked me" bro which one is Tess and which one is Aspen" I laughed and called them over

Tess skipped towards me and Aspen took her sweet time until I yelled at her to hurry up because I had to get on with practice.

I pointed at Tess and said "this is Tess my 10 YEAR OLD SISTER" then I pointed to Aspen who was looking down "and this is Aspen my twin sister"

Evan chimed in "OUR twin sister"

I laughed "my bad OUR twin sister"

Aspen looked up and instantly locked eyes with a boy from the team I had yet to meet

there was a long awkward pause with them just looking at each other until Zach shook his head " it was nice to meet you Tess" he ran off the continue practice. 

the boy  looked at Aspen again and said " it was VERY nice to meet you Aspen"

I internally screamed. He needs to leave my baby sister alone or I definitely won't be playing for 'Heat'
