Brady's POV

I nervously flattened and smoothed down my hair and rubbed my nose (an annoying habit I have of doing when I am worried or tense.)

I'm getting ready for a party with my friends.

I brought the soda to my lips and drank it down.

My mind's far from the party though.

Something's bothering my twin.

I know it.

Don't ask me how, twins just do.

She's... distancing herself from me, like I'm a disease or something.

I don't know why... it's like she doesn't recognise me anymore.

I guess I have turned into a bit of a party animal, but I don't think I really have changed that much.

She acts like I'm a monster... why?

Suddenly I am aroused from my thoughts for the sound of the kitchen door slamming.

My heart leaped.

You can't tell anyone, but I may have have a teensy tiny- okay, well massive crush on my twins best friend.

If my sister knew, she would never forgive me.

Sure enough, it was them.

I nervously ruffled my hair and cleared my throat, before heading downstairs.

Just seeing them standing there brought back a wave of memories.

Suddenly I was back in reception, doodling on the floor when my twin and a mischievous looking girl with freckles, auburn hair and glinting violet eyes walks into the room.

I regard the stranger curiously, wondering who the heck she was and what she was doing here.

My twin had stepped forward and announced self-importantly that she was Katie Underwood, her new best friend.

I had shrugged, shook her small hand with my slightly sticky one, and offered them both a crayon so they could help with my floor artwork, which they had accepted and we actually drew a pretty good picture- if I do say so myself.

I was only five, and already a little in love.

I was suddenly snapped back to the present with a bang.

"Agggghhh!" I shrieked.

"Pamela, why?" She shrugged.

"You weren't paying attention."

Turning to Katie and addressing her, she said " Wait here. I'll be 10 minutes getting ready."

With that she rushed upstairs, leaving me alone with Katie.

I cleared my throat.

"So, Kit-Kat. How's things going?" I smirked.

"Fine." She muttered going bright red.

I looked on in surprise.

She was blushing - because of me.

I inched closer to her, causing her to almost inaudibly gasp, and, if possible, turn an even brighter red.

I searched her face for what she was thinking, but her face didn't betray any more.

I leaned forward, aiming for her lips, and there was panic in her eyes as she turned away, so I ever so briefly brushed her earlobe.

Suddenly there was a shout from upstairs.

"I'm coming Katie, you better be waiting!"

I stood all the way up hurriedly.

"Uhh... I better go."

I turned around and ran out the door, and onto the bus.

Oliver was next to me and he looked up.

"What is with you man?! We're gonna miss the party!"

I smiled secretly to myself as the bus set off for the town nightclub, destination of the party.
