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.
Hey guys! I couldn't help myself- I had to use this chapter to get a quality OTP moment. Ok ok, I don't own any of the PJO or HOO characters that's all uncle rick yada yada yada. It getting late. Peace out!
