Oblivion: the state of being unaware or unconscious of what is happening.

"I don't understand why we can't throw a party at your house! Your parents are out of town for a whole week, and all you wanna do is get depressed and watch Netflix. Come on ry." Brooke tells me.
Hey I'm Ryland, but my friends call me ry. I'm 17 and I'm from a small town in Arizona. Since it's small everyone here knows everyone. So you can only imagine how fast rumors and secrets spread.
"Because there's no point, I can only stand 3 people, and they include you, Ashlyn, and Jack. It's not like there's anyone else to meet here." I tell Brooke. I mean it's true.
I met Ashlyn in 7th grade when we both got in trouble for dozing off in class. We walked down to the principals office together and just hit it off from there.
Jack was a lifelong best friend. He lives down the street from me and has always been there when I needed him the most. Our parent were best friends growing up, which just made us closer.

"Alright whatever. But if you change your mind you know where to find me." Brooke says as she gives me a hug and climbs out of my window, and into hers.

Brooke was like a sister. Always knew how to make me smile, even when I really didn't want too. She's my neighbor and has literally lived next door to me since we were born. The windows in our rooms face right next to each other, so if we ever need to talk we just sit on our windowsills.
I go downstairs and decide to do the same thing I am always doing, raiding the fridge.
I hear a car pull into the driveway and go over to the window.
Ugh mountgumary I thought you were out with friends tonight.
Mountgumary is my twin brother, we haven't always been the nicest to each other, but in the end I love him and I know he'll always have my back.
"What's up sis!" Mountgumary yells as he walks in the house followed but 2 other guys.
Wait, I've never seen then before.
"Hey mounti, who are your friends I've never seen them before." I ask in a not stalker like way as best as I can.
"I'm Ethan and this is Grayson. We just moved here from New York City." He says very laid back.
You moved from nyc to a small town in Arizona. Wow.
"Nice to meet you -" grayson starts to say, hinting for my name.
"Ryland, but everybody calls me ry." I finish.
"Ryland, that's a pretty name." Grayson compliments me.
Omg omg the hot twin just said I have a pretty name.
I start to blush. "Thank you." I say in a very flirtatious way.
Then my heart started pounding so fast, and so hard, it almost felt unnatural.
I snap out of it when I hear someone running down the stairs. I see Brooke come down the stair case and walks slowly over to me once seeing the twins.
"Sorry I forgot my charger over here." She says awkwardly. She goes over behind me and grabs her charger that was sitting in the island.
"Oh um grayson, Ethan this is Brooke one of my best friends." I tell them.
Grayson waves at her while Ethan looks her up and down and smiles at her. I see her start to blush.
"Okay well we're gonna go upstairs." Mountgumary says as he starts to walk over to the stair case.
"Wait! Um I was gonna throw a party here tonight if you guys wanna stay later and meet new people." I tell the twins.
"That would be awesome." Grayson answers with a smirk on his face as they all walk up the stairs, and into mountgumary's room.
"YOUR GONNA THROW THE PARTY I THOUGHT YOU WERE-" I cover brookes mouth before she can say anything else.
"I don't know what came over me. I think I like grayson and I met him legit a minute ago." I admit to Brooke.
"Yeah well that's good to know because I was about to call dibs on Ethan." Brooke tells me as she laughs.
"Why don't you send out a text chain to everyone and I'll go to the store and get stuff." I tell Brooke.
She nods and starts texting.

"I'll go with you."
