Twin Grier

11

i went with some simple mascara and some studs. i grabbed my phone and went downstairs to the garage to go get my bike. i opened the garage and guided my bike outside towards the driveway. and instantly, the cold breeze hit. my phone buzzed in my pocket and i took it out.

haley; we're around the corner. get your bike ready !

mom walked out of the door inside the garage. just as haley's brother pulled up, my mom blew me a kiss goodbye and the garage closed. haley, charlie and callie got out of the car and ran to me to give me a hug. "ready?" callie said. "you know it!" i said.

------------

we were biking on some random trail callie found. she wanted to see what the outcome was. "maybe we should go back. we don't know what's over there." haley is that friend who worries. best friend who worries.

callie, on the other hand, is that let loose kinda best friend. that's what i love about her. she's made me done some crazy things. like jumping off a hill into the lake, or get suspended for putting a mouse in the principals office.

if you're asking, i got the mouse and she placed it inside her office. we got yelled at and our mom's grounded us each for a week. it was worth it. "haley, something life changing could be over there. stop being such a poop." callie said biking next to me.

me and charlie chuckled. the trail finally ended and we ended up in a wheat field. it was surprisingly very pretty, especially with the sun starting to set. we set our bikes down and walked around. we took some pictures and i posted one on my instagram.

haleys brother picked us up after we went back and went to her house. we sat on the floor just talking and laughing. haley kept on taking pictures and ended up taking one of me and callie that i loved, so i posted it on my instagram again.

as the picture kept getting likes, i got a text from my mom.

mom;
almost 8:30 claire ...

as i was about to reply, callie snatched my phone out of my hands and charlie replaced it with a bowl of ice cream. i was suddenly distracted, but not enough for me to ignore the text. "sigh, i have to go." i said getting up. i set the bowl on the counter.

"aw, it's not even 9 yet." charlie said. "i know, but it's a school night and my mom doesn't want me waking up so tired." i shrugged my shoulders. "well at least finish your ice cream." callie got up. we all sat at the counter and ate together until we all finished.

haley's older brother dropped me off and helped me get my bike off his truck. i went over to the garage and put in the pin and it opened. i placed my bike inside and the garage door closed again. i took my shoes off and went inside. i walked down the hallway into the living room to see a bunch of guys sitting at both sofas with nash and hayes.

"i'm back." i blurted out. everyone turned to look at me. one of them, with a red bandana, spoke up and said, "and who's this pretty thang?" my cheeks became warm in a matter of seconds. "aw, she's blushing." another with brown hair said. to be honest, they were all very hot. very.

"ok, you can stop now. that's my sister." nash got up going over to me. "who are they?" i asked as nash took me into mom's office. "magcon." he said. i was a bit shook by that. "really? wow, i can't believe this is how i meet them." i'd never met them before.

i didn't really know what they looked like or what they did except for touring and events. i didn't mind, as i had my friends and a lot of other things to worry about like school or my parents, at the time.

"they're all really cute though. i can't believe he called me pretty. i'm so ugly." i sat down. he laughed. "you're not ugly. you're pretty, beautiful actually. also, don't ever say that again or it'll be the last time you see them." i rolled my eyes. "ok dad. i'm going to my room." i got up and left heading up the stairs to my room.

i changed into a loose black shirt and sweatpants and got comfy in my bed when my mom came in. "you know, i've always wondered why nash, hayes and will never knock when they come in and i now know where they get it from." i sat up in my bed as she sat on the edge of my bed.

she chuckled. "sorry. anyways, time to eat." i sighed. "mom, do you not realize that i was about to go to sleep? i think the clothes should've gave it away." i pointed to my shirt. "well i didn't see it. and we have guests. now come on." she stood up waiting for me.

"mom please. i'm really tired even though it's only 8. don't i start ballet class tomorrow? did i mention i also have school tomorrow at 8 am?" i'm so excited to start ballet. i've been waiting since we got to new york and when i told my mom and i just can't wait.

then she sighed. "ok. you can go to sleep. by the way, nash's friends will be staying here for 3 days so don't go walking around here naked." i was surprised "what? why? i never walk around the house naked."

"well, as you may know by now, magcon is officially over so nash thought it would be a good idea for all of them to you know, spend some time together and get their minds off the whole thing." she explained.

i nodded my head and she kissed my cheek and told me goodnight. she closed the door behind her and i charged my phone and put it on the night stand. i turned both of the lamps off on either side and got comfortable in bed.

i sighed in relief that i could go to sleep. and i did, smiling at how tomorrow i start ballet.
