Bailey sung along out of tune to the radio as it blared through the speakers in her car, laughing hysterically when her brother, Drew, decided to join in. She pulled up to the curb up the road from Kat's place, giving them an easy escape if the cops decided to hit the party. She smiled as she slid out of the car, Drew throwing her over his shoulder before running up the path. The music could be heard from the moment they left the car, the chatter and gleeful laughs could be heard not too long after.

'Hey, Drew,' Kat called from the front porch; 'Where's Bailey?'

'Right here,' He replied before spinning around.

'Hey, Kat,' The girl waved as she propped herself up on her brother's back, making sure to dig her elbows in.

'Guys, this is Hannah. She's new around here,' Kat informed them.

The youngest Matthews got a quick glance at the girl before Drew was spinning around to look, no doubt to find out whether the girl was hot or not.

'Hannah, these are the twins I was telling you about,' Kat continued.

'I'm her favourite,' Bailey called over Drew's shoulder.

Her brother snorted, 'As if. No one likes you.'

'Bull. They prefer me over your egotistical arse.'

'I love both of you,' Kat called; 'Now, get your arses inside and have a drink.'

'Cause you know it's not a party until the Matthews' arrive,' The twins laughed together.

They cheered with Kat as Drew continued to carry Bailey inside, only putting her down when they reached the coolers out back; each of them grabbing a beer.

'Bailey, Drew,' Bryce cheered as he swung an arm over each of their shoulders.

'Hey, Bryce,' The boy smiled before taking a sip.

'Bailey, you look good.'

'Oh, fuck off, Walker,' She smirked playfully.

'Man, that's my sister,' Drew shoved him off; 'Don't touch her.'

'I'm kidding, Matthews,' Bryce shook his head; 'Gotta keep my co-captain's ego up somehow.'

The three of them laughed together, clinking their bottles together before they scattered. Bryce called out to someone across the yard, before he headed inside; leaving the Matthews' to sneak up on Jeff Atkins. Bailey jumped on his back, yelling in his ear as she struggled not to laugh.  She kissed his cheek before sliding down, standing beside him to greet him properly. Drew and Jeff did their usual bro hug, before they joined in on the conversation with some of the guys from their baseball team, the girl adding in her input easily; loving almost every sport there was.
