it's friday night. game night.

i'm already out stretching on the track when the football players come out to begin warming up. i make eye contact with grayson and he smiles and waves at me.

i wave back at him.

"you're switching twins?" i hear riley say from behind me.

my eyes widened. "no!"

"good," she narrows her eyes at me. "because i don't care what anyone says, ethan is your soulmate."

i laugh. "you say that with no evidence to back you up,"

i stretch some more. "besides, he has his own cheerleader to cheer for him."

i look over at jen who was still stretching.

"but who has always been down here leading the cheers for him?" riley raises an eyebrow.

i roll my eyes. "they're not for him. they're for the team,"

"but they've always been secretly about him," she smiles.

i was now getting ready for the party with riley and cassie. i tried on a couple of outfits and settled on a mini skirt with a cute crop top. i start to put my hair up, but riley stops me.

"hair down," she says. i continue to debate on putting it up. "come on, just for tonight."

i release my hair from my hands and i let it be down, just for tonight.

we arrive at joshs house and the place is already packed.

we almost reach at the front door when i realize i forgot to apply some chapstick. now it's all my mind can think about.

"can i borrow your keys?" i ask riley since she's the one that drove here. "i forgot to apply some chapstick and mines in the car."

"i have lip gloss," cassie offers.

"not the same."

riley throws me her keys. i run back to the car the best i could without tripping over my own two feet. i apply my chapstick real quick and run back up to the door.

i open up the door and i scan the room. i manage to make eye contact with him.

out of all the people in this room that could be staring at me, it's ethan.

i look down at the floor and back up. he's still looking. i'm not sure if he's even looking at me, but the thought of him looking at me like that makes me feel some type of way.

i look behind me and i see jen, now i'm sure he wasn't looking at me.

ethan

riley and cassie enter without emma by their side.

"i thought you said emma was coming," i say to easton.

"she is. she's getting ready with riley and cassie," he replies.

i nod my head over to where riley is standing looking around. easton shrugs. "i don't know then,"

riley sees easton and drags along cassie.

"hi," she smiles and kisses him. "you played great."

"thank you. i had the best cheerleader," he smiles and kisses her. this time it was longer.

"i need a drink," cassie says and walks off.

i look back over at the door and emma walks in. her hair is down. it's a rare, but beautiful, occurrence. she's wearing a tight mini skirt and a white crop top. she looks... wow.
