Carter's POV
As I got out of the shower I saw that Eben had texted me and sis that the boys were down. I ran into my room and dug through my dresser to find a good outfit. I ended up putting on a black top, some acid washed shorts, and some black Vans.

I was sitting at the kitchen counter eating cereal and drinking a smoothie when I heard a knock on the door

I was sitting at the kitchen counter eating cereal and drinking a smoothie when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and let Eben in.
Eben: Nice place.
Carter: Thanks, it's nothing really.
Eben: Nothing. Look at your view.
Carter: Okay so it's something. But it's not just mine. I share it with my roommate Ariel.
Eben: I've seen her around before. When did you get purple hair.
Carter: Oh. For my 18 birthday I dyed my hair. Since that was almost a year ago, it's really faded.
Eben: Cool. We should head out.
Carter: Oh, Yeah.
I got up and Eben and I started walking towards the elevators.
Eben: You look nice.
Carter: Thanks. So do you.
He lead me to his car and I hoped in. He pulled out of the parking lot. Just a quick FYI, although he wants to cry in a lambo, he doesn't own a lambo.
Carter: If you don't want to try in your Honda, then why don't you get a new car. It's not like your broke. Also, although I've never been to your apartment, I can bet that it is not sh*tty.
Eben: Fair point. But it makes a good song.
Carter: Yep. Is this it?
Eben: Yes. This is the Why Don't We house.
He parked and I practically threw myself out of the car. I am a big fan of the boys. I'm also madly in love with all of them. It's kind of a problem. Eben knocked on the door and a blonde haired boy opened the door. It was Corbyn and Jesus Christ he was way cuter in person. But, standing next to him was Christina.
Eben: Hey dude. Christina. This is Carter.
Carter: I know it's a weird name.
Corbyn: No, it's actually really cool. Don't you think babe?
Christina: Yeah! It's way better than Christina.
Carter: Being a girl named Carter isn't that great, trust me.
Corbyn: Come on in.
Eben: Thanks.
We stepped over the threshold and it was just like Eben told me, the most teenage looking place. But, strangely clean.
Corbyn: Zach is doing school stuff right now, Jonah is still asleep, and Daniel, Jack, and Gabbie should be in the living room.
Eben: Thanks dude.
We walked into the living room, Daniel and Jack where playing video games and Gabbie was desperately trying to pull Jack away from the game to pay attention to her.
Gabbie: Babe, lets do something!
Jack: Mhm. Yeah, just give me a second babe.
Gabbie: Come on Jack! Let's kiss or do romantic stuff.
Jack: Crap! Sh babe.
Corbyn: (whispering in Carter's ear) She's a little desperate.
I chuckled a little and the two boys looked at me.
Daniel: Some one could have told me that she was here!
He got out from under the blanket and came over to the group and so did Jack.
Jack: Hey, you must be Carter. Eben won't shut up about how cool you are. I'm Jack.
Carter: Hey.
He stuck his hand out and I shook it. I was dead in the inside.
Daniel: I'm Daniel.
Carter: Hi. What are y'all playing?
Jack: Fortnight.
Daniel: We keep losing though. Like we can never stay alive.
Carter: Oh, I can help with that.
Daniel: You play?
Carter: I have nothing better to do.
Jack: Can you help me?
Daniel: Us! Can you help us?
Carter: Sure.
I liked over and Gabbie looked pretty pissed.
Jack: Oh, this is my girlfriend Gabbie. She isn't much of a gamer.
I walked to the couch and stuck my hand out.
Carter: Hi. I'm Carter.
Gabbie: I got that when you said "Hi, I'm Carter!" about a minute ago. I'm Gabbie.
She looked horrified as she shook my hand. I sat down in between Jack and Daniel and showed them some good tips. Jonah came downstairs and I practically died because he was in a tank top.
Jonah: Hey.
Carter: Hi. Hold that thought Jack.
I got up and walked over to him.
Jonah: Who are you?
Carter: I'm-
Gabbie: You're Carter we get it!
Jonah: Oh you're the famed Carter Elizabeth. Nice to met you.
Carter: Nice to meet you too.
Jack and Daniel turned off Fortnight and walked over to the rest of us. Zach finished what he had been doing and joined us. They started asking a bunch of questions.
Corbyn: (overlapping) How long have you known Eben?
Daniel (overlapping): Where are you from?
Jack: (overlapping) How old are you?
Christina: (overlapping) We should be friends.
Jonah: (overlapping) When did you move to LA?
Gabbie: (overlapping) Why are you here?
Zach: (overlapping) Do you know what the square route of 3 to the third minus 6 is?
Carter: Calm down, calm down. 17 years, Florida, 18, Yes, 3 months ago, Eben invited me, and 1.12983 you do the rounding.
Everyone: Woah!
Gabbie: That's easy math.
Zach: Don't ruin this Gabbie.
I spent the next 8 and a half hours at the boys house. They are even better in person. Finally Eben and I decided that we should go back home. As we were walking out the door I heard:
Daniel: It was great to meet your girlfriend Eben!
