The contest between the boys and I had been all summer long, I had pranked them and they had got me back, I had been trapped in a tree, pushed in the lake, locked in a barn, found kiddy wheels on my bike, and much more in retaliation for my pranks on them, the latest I knew would be driving Jericho mad, I had hacked his phone and had set it to chirp loudly every hour, I could see them laughing as I stood with his sisters at his brothers wedding to Eve.

Over the summer I had grown to love the estate and the family who owned it were as welcoming as they were unconventional, Three husbands and one wife as the head of the family and now the oldest triplets were marrying their fiancée Eve.  The triplet Rose sisters had welcomed me and had become good friends and were great allies in my prank war with their brothers. I was constantly amazed by Miss Eva, she was small like me but had had three sets of triplets and was married to three men and still seemed sane.
I heard the demented chirp again and looked at the boys again.  Charlie saw where I was looking "what did you do this time?" she asked watching her brothers, "nothing much" I said laughing at them.  "Oh shit, here they come, bye" I laugh to the others, rushing away from them but they had me trapped, and soon I was surrounded by three large males.
"Make it stop" Jericho demands thrusting the phone at me.
I grin up at him, my tiny frame a good foot smaller than his and his brothers "make what stop, I don't know what you are talking about" I lie.
"Genievieve!" Jericho growls moving closer, I step back into Noah and gasp as his hands rest on my shoulders, holding me trapped against him, my gasp making Miss Eva's eyes look our way, but she only grins at us. Jericho holds his phone out to me silently and I take it, my fingers racing over the key pad before handing it back, then I am twisting out of Noahs hands and racing away as they all watch me go.
My stomach is in knots, and I sink down the bench hidden in the arbor, far enough form prying eyes to think about how I felt when Noah held me and they all surrounded me. I shivered, I was sixteen and knew what I was feeling was attraction to Noah and maybe if it was just him, I could relax and see if it went anywhere, but it wasn't, I knew I liked all of them and that could only lead to bad decisions and heartache for me.  School was starting soon and although we were going to the same college, we would be apart and at opposite ends of the campus for all our courses, I could avoid them, I could find friends and build myself a social life of my own and in time I wouldn't feel this pull to them.
