In the courtyard of of Beverly High seated at a table Emberly sat across from Liam as the two enjoyed their free period talking to one another. It was the perfect time for them to get to know each other, or more so Emberly to get to know Liam.

Liam was okay. He was like any other decent student here. But she felt this vibe from him. It wasn't creepy like as stalker vibes but something about him almost seemed familiar.  It was like she knew him but she didn't. She felt crazy for even feeling like that because she was pretty sure she had never met him before other than when he had started school. "So were you born here?" Liam asks munching on the bag of chips in his hand. 

"No. I'm from South Crenshaw but me and my family moved to Beverly when I was little. How about you?" Emberly asks.

"Born and raised here." Liam answers. 

"Really? How come I never saw you before in school or anything?" Emberly asks.

"For a while I went to a private school. " Liam answers.

"Why switch to public school after so long? Didn't you have any friends, girlfriends you were leaving behind?" Emberly asks. 

"I had a few friends, I still stay in touch with them. A for the girlfriend, nope. I did have many girls chasing me though. I was known as the mysterious hot kid." Liam says. 

"Oh, really?" Emberly asks with her brows raised. 

"Yeah. I mean, tall, handsome, smart, basketball player--"

"Okay, you can stop now. You're not all that." Emberly tells him to which he laughed at her. "Moving on tell me about your family. What are they like?" 

"My mom's a real estate agent. She's my rock. I'd do anything for her. It's been me and her since My dad passed. He passed away almost a year ago." Liam explains. 

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry or anything." Emberly says. 

"It's cool. I've gotten used to talking about it now. I couldn't just not talk about it." Liam asks. 

"You mind me asking how did he die?" Emberly asks. 

"Yeah, no. Uh, overdose." Liam quickly answers and moves on. '"So, about you what's your family like? Siblings, parents?" 

"I have twin, Evelyn. You might have already met her. We're like the second pair of twins here." Emberly says. 

"Twin? Really? Identical?" Liam asks. 

"No. Fraternal. My mom is a surgeon, my step father is a lawyer. My bio dad died a year ago." Emberly tells him as she grabbed her phone off the table checking the time. "As much as I would love to continue talking, I have to make it to my next class."

"Yeah, thanks for keeping me company." Liam says. 

"Mm-hmm. See you later." Emberly stands up from the table grabbing her bag and walking towards the school for her class.

BACK AT HOME from school the two sisters Emberly and Everly were in the living room seated on the couch as they went through the homework that had received from their teachers at school that day.

"So, you've been talking to the Liam a lot lately? Does Spencer know?" Everly asks marking an answer on her paper.

"Yes, he knows. I'm not keeping it a secret." Emberly says grabbing one of her school books opening it up to a page she needed.
