My name is Casey Sutton, I'm 15 and I'm your average teenager. I play basketball, I'm in student government and I pretty much find a way to embarrass myself everyday. About two weeks ago, I moved to my best friend Shiloh Green's neighborhood. Shiloh is one of the best people to have as your best friend. She is very talkative, as am I. In other words she is my best friend, one of the most important people I know. Little did I know, she happened to live on the same street as very hot twins. 

It was just an average Saturday afternoon, in the summer between my freshman and sophomore year. Me and Shiloh were outside her house playing "hockey" in rollerblades, minding our own business. Down the street, two 16 year olds were passing the football around. I, a very clumsy person and apparently a pessimist, knew that this would end in a disaster. As I was struggling to keep my balance, one of the teenage boys thought it would be fun to go long. Idiot. That ball did not go where he wanted. That ball went straight to my back. I started flailing my arms about, looking like a total idiot, trying to regain balance, while Shiloh stood there dying of laughter. I ended up falling on my butt. "Oh my god! Are you ok?!?", Shiloh asked, trying so hard to hold in her laughter. "I'm in agonizing pain!!!!!". It doesn't take a lot to make me pissed off at the world. This was one of those things. About 30 seconds after I fell, the guy who failed to catch the freaking ball, came over. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry! Oh god, are you alright?!". I wasn't paying attention to a word he said. Damn, that kid is gorgeous. He reached his arm out to help me up. "I am so sorry", he said yet again. "Yeah, yeah it's fine", I said while not even listening. I was still staring into his beautiful brown eyes. "I'm Grayson and you are?", he asked expecting an answer. Unfortunately, I was still a little love struck to answer. "Her name's Casey", Shiloh said for me. "Uh, what?", I turn around to look at Shiloh and she gives me the look. "Oh yeah, yes, yeah my name is Casey". I sounded like English was not my first language. How embarrassing was that. "The guy who was responsible for this will be here shortly, I don't know where he went though", Grayson said. About a minute later, a boy who looked very much like Grayson jogs over. "Yikes, sorry about that, gotta work on my aim", he said with a nervous chuckle. I gave him a look that was a very obvious ya think? "Oh, I'm Ethan, by the way", he said while sticking his hand out for me to shake. I smiled and said, "I'm Casey". From the back, Shiloh decided to join in, "Well, this was interesting. Me and Casey have to go now." How could she have not told me about these two angels? We all say bye to each other and me and Shiloh go into her house. "Those boys, amiright?", I said while giving Shiloh the stupidest smirk on planet Earth. Shiloh starts laughing. "How could you have not mentioned them before?!?!", I asked. "Uhh I have quite a few times. Umm, that time when I got lost in the car with two boys, them", Shiloh said looking at me with an embarrassed face. "Mmm", I replied, nodding my head. "Oh! And that time my science board was "magically" ripped. That was them." I laughed. “So, tell me, how are you not dating one of them?”, I asked, very interested in the topic. “You know what? I have no idea. Just kidding, well uhh, I kinda like Ethan”, Shiloh said in a very shy voice. “Oh my god!”. I got out of my chair and hugged her. “You guys would be so cute together!”. “Hah, I know right. Tell him that”. I laughed while leaving her house. “Ok!”, I said while shooting a thumbs up. “What?! No no. I was kidding.” Shiloh was one of those girls that wanted to keep her crush a secret until her crush actually acted on the matter, but hey, I can’t blame her, I’m just like that. 

I got home and I saw my 13 year old brother, Ross, sitting on the couch watching TV. “Hey”, he said. “Hellooo”, I sung back. Yes, I’m one of those people. I walked to the kitchen and looked through the mail. “There are two guys that live on this street you might like to hang out with, you know, pass the ball around and stuff”, I said, while sounding very much like my mother. “Are they by any chance twins?”, he asked. “Yeah! Do you know them?”. I was very excited cause there was a chance my brother knew the hottest people around. “Yeah, please tell me you’re not serious?”, he said, looking at me like I was the biggest idiot. “What?” “Casey, I’ve known Ethan and Grayson Dolan for about three months. Grayson is my mentor. The whole family knows them”, Ross very rudely explained. “Your mentor?”, I asked, very dumbfounded. “Every 8th grader gets a high school mentor.” How the heck does that happen? How does my family meet two hot guys before I do? Maybe I’m losing it. As I was thinking these ridiculous thoughts, I heard Ross calling me to get the door. “Casey! Door!” “Coming!” “Casey!” “Shut your mouth”, I said, while walking towards the door. I opened the door and received a gift from God. Ok, just kidding it was Grayson, but what’s the difference. “Hi!”, I said, with the biggest smile. “Hey”, he said. His voice could probably end world hunger. “So, I was thinking, you know, since we’re neighbors, we should hang out more often”, Grayson graciously mentioned. All I heard was, I think you’re the most beautiful girl in the world, and I’d be honored if you’d bear my children. It took a couple seconds for me to snap back into reality. “Wow, that would be wonderful.” I started thinking about cupcakes, you know, just in case he could suddenly read minds. “Well, I’m glad you like that plan cause me and Ethan are going to the movies tomorrow and we’re wondering if you’d like to join us.” A gentleman and a hottie. I could get used to this. “I would love to”, I said smiling. “Alright, I’ll pick you up at around 2?”, he asked with the cutest smile. “Sounds good.” “Great! See ya tomorrow and say hi to Ross for me.” “Toodle-loo”, I said. I quickly closed the door. “Toodle-loo? Toodle-loo?! Oh my god!”. I heard Ross laugh. “I know right, what a loser.” “Well at least I had my first kiss!”, I yelled to him. Ross pretended to cry. “Whatever”, he said.
