“God I missed them!” I sighed laughing as Cass joined me on the couch out of breathe.

“We missed you to!” she said throwing herself on top of me laughing.

I got to my feet and walked to the foot of the stairs and called for Rian, when there was no answer I waved to Cass motioning for her to follow me upstairs and we scurried up the steps. Slowly I crept into Rian’s room thinking I would be able to scare him till I flung the door open and screamed into an empty bedroom making myself look like a fool. I heard Rian laugh from behind me as I turned to see him dressed for the day and a towel thrown over his shoulder.

“You’re an idiot!” he laughed walking past me into his room.

“Rian are you going to Jack’s tonight?” I asked plopping on his bed ignoring his comment as Cass stood in the doorway.

“Yeah why, did you bump into them today?” he said throwing his towel in a hamper in his closet and shutting the door.

“Yeah and they said we should come, should we?” I asked.

“Yeah but I’d go get ready, if your done in a hour I can give you guys a ride, I have to go pick up my buddy Marc to.” He said.

“Thanks Rian!” I cheered giving him a hug and running out of his room grabbing Cass by the wrist and pulling her into mine.

Quickly I ran to the shower throwing on some clean cloths and running a brush through my hair as I joined Cass in my bedroom to see she was sprawled out on my bed. I sat down in the black office chair at my desk and began to apply what little makeup I actually wore and I could feel my nervousness creeping into my brain. I had no idea who would be there tonight, who would have questions I didn’t want to or didn’t have answers for, and who would be there that I didn’t even know!

“Hey” Cass said plopping off my bed and onto the floor catching my attention.

“Hey what?” I asked continuing to run the mascara wand over my eyelashes.

“Wanna know what will take your mind off Alex?” she asked and I could hear the smirk in her voice.

“God” I groaned, “and what would that be?”

“Matt”

“Ha! Yeah okay Cass” I laughed.

“What you don’t think he’s cute?” she said almost shocked.

“I mean he’s like baby cute, but he’s like an older brother to me now, it’d be weird, plus he’s a senior, he’s leaving after this year anyway I don’t want to start anything that can’t be easily finished!”

“But it’s like the Game of Life it just takes some time is all why don’t you guys just try it!”

“Cass you realize you have only ever played Life with me and we always get halfway through it, quit, and then pick the lives we want before we give up all together and eat ice cream.”

She paused for a moment realizing I was 100% right before laughing and throwing her head back.

“Okay princesses you done up there?” Rian’s voice called from down stairs.

“Yeah, yeah don’t be a toad we’ll be down in a minute!” I hollered playing right back at his princess card.

I got to my feet walking over to my closet before slipping my feet into my worn converse high tops and shuffling towards the end of the hallway, Cass slowly trailing behind. In an odd silence we met Rian on the porch before following him to the car he and I now shared as Cass and I opted to take the back and not make his friend Marc sit in the back with one of us after discussing that neither of us really knew who the kid was. For a while we silently drove through town till we pulled up to a rather large yellow house and putting the truck in park Rian generously leaned on the horn. Before long a boy stepped out of the house. The boy was medium height, kind of scrawny, from a far you could still make out his large brown eyes and his hair was sitting in much of the same fashion Matt’s had but his was a dark brown with the tips dyed blond, I mean blond tips on a 16, 17 year old boy, okay but I mean whatever floats your boat.

“Oh Marc, this is my twin sister Jasey, and her, well our friend Cass” Rian said motioning back in our direction putting the car in gear and pulling out.

Marc looked over at us and shot us both the same warming smile he had greeted Rian with and lifted his hand to wave slightly. “Hey, wait.” He paused his eyes resting on me and an odd sense of panic set in, “do I know you from somewhere?” he said almost in a shy tone and it clicked at the sound of his voice.

He was the one who helped me get my bag on the air plane!

“Yeah actually!” I said and repeated the same sentence that just crossed my mind.

“This is so freaky actually seeing you here I dint know you were Rian’s famous sister Jasey, you guys look nothing alike!” he said his, rough accent sounding surprisingly charming even with its illiterate reputation.

“Yeah I get that a lot actually!” I said and could see Rian nod from in front of me in agreement.

The ride to Jack’s was short and tedious, I was nervous, nervous as hell I didn’t know if this was a Barakat party or a small get together, I didn’t know who was going to be their but for some odd reason I felt that I wasn’t as troubled as I should have been, like something in my head was telling me to chill the fuck out and that it was going to be a solid night. I was excited, I hadn’t really gotten a chance to talk to Jack or Matt earlier before being ripped away by Cass and the sun was already starting to hide behind the distant city skyline that I missed so much. Jack wasn’t even fazed by knowing I saw him and Alex yesterday or even acted like I had changed, maybe he was just as happy to see me as I was to see him. It was doubtful but I was genuinely happy that he still wanted to be my friend, he was always like the guy version of me and I enjoyed being around him, and not just because I heard about all the great parties he started to throw after I left during freshman year.

We reached the recognizable house and piled out of the car as I noted only three cars in the driveway, small get together it was. We walked around the back side of the house to see Jack, Zack, Matt and a shorter dark haired boy I didn’t recognize, all slouched over making small chat in their own lawn chairs, a projector on a pile of cardboard boxed in the center projecting a large blue box on the back of Jack’s house. I went around the group hugging those I knew and telling Cass id join her in a minute and that I had wanted to great Jack who I somehow had missed and Cass soon after wandered over to Rian, the two seemed close and it was adorable, he had the biggest crush on her as a kid; I can’t imagine him being around her now and still acting normal. I was making small chat with the boy id just met, Marc who was actually really nice and funny when the short tan boy approached.

“Oh hey I don’t believe we’ve met yet, I’m Vinny Vegas.” The boy said holding out his hand.

“Hey I’m Jasey Dawson; I don’t believe we have.” I said, reaching out and shaking his hand feeling to formal to be standing in a dirt patch of Jack’s backyard.

“Oh your Rian’s little sister!”

“Twin sister,” I corrected, “Actually I’m older.”

“Oh wow sorry!”

“Oh no don’t worry about it!” I laughed, “I can’t really blame you I look four years old!”

“No really sorry but I've heard so much about you from the boys!” he said

“Good things I hope!” I laughed.

“Amazing things actually”

“Really?” I asked shocked.

“Yeah” he chuckled, “mostly Rian and Alex.”

I forced a laughed as he bid his a due before turning and walking off with Zack who had called his name. I turned back and continued the light conversation with Marc, a heavier weight on my heart now, but still I tried to forget about the boy and focus on Marc and I’s discussion at hand and it turns out he is on the boys lacrosse team at Dulaney High School and he had math with Jack last year and that’s how he became close with the band, Matt and the whole Gang. His family moved here from Boston last year so they could be close to his oldest sister who just had a baby with her newly wed husband and moved this area to help lend a hand. We were talking and Jack came over and jumped on my back nearly causing me to crash to the earth below and causing everyone around to laugh at my weak efforts to stay standing. “Hey Jasey wanna make your stubby legs useful? I can help you out if you come with me inside and grab us all food?” Jack laughed.

“What’s the catch?” I laughed.

“I’ll only help if you carry me!”

“Okay Jacky whatever!” I laughed and started to walk towards the back deck of the house on wobbly feet when Matt yelled that he wanted to tag along and ran after us. I reached the few wooden steps and Jack hopped off telling us to grab drinks from the coolers as he pointed to the few blue boxes by the sliding door as he disappeared into the house. I was standing shifting through the cooler that was up on the glass topped table when I felt Matt’s gentle hand on my back.

“Alex isn’t coming tonight if that’s why your acting, well not yourself, I know what happened.” He whispered in my ear and I let out a groan, did everyone know about our fight!?

“What, I'm not acting weird!” I stuttered reaching up and fiddling with my nose ring, and odd looking and blatantly annoying habit I picked up shortly after getting it pierced.

“I heard Vinny mention him earlier Jace,” he spoke softly turning me around, “You haven’t had a genuine smile since and its bumming me out, he’s babysitting can’t you just enjoy tonight!” I shot him an innocent smile and nodded as his hands shifted from my hips to the table,
“why don’t we just bring these down by the chairs and save ourselves the effort?” he smiled.

“Eh why don’t we make them work for their drinks!” I laughed.

“Wow Jasey, just got home and already finding your back bone I see!”

“Please, like you think id leave for two years and id come back all soft.”

He looked at me cocking his head, “Nah not really, but your still really tiny and I bet I can still do THIS!” he shouted the last word before swiftly taking hold of my hips and throwing me over his shoulder like a firemen as I yelled his name to put me down and he picked up the cooler with his free hand propping it up on his hip and trotted towards the deck steps like he didn’t have a kicking human being slung over his shoulder.

“Your such an ass!” I pouted as he plopped be down in a lawn chair beside Marc laughing.

“Oh hush you love me!” he laughed placing the cooler down at the base of the carefully balanced cardboard boxes that supported the projector.

“That’s debatable!” I laughed.

“Hmm no its not, it’s a fact!” he said plopping himself into my lap purposely being heavier than he was and planting a sloppy kiss on my cheek.

“Bleh!” I stuck my tongue out wiping my cheek, “Get off of me ya boob!”

He pulled himself off of me making his way over to a vacant seat by Rian who had Cass perched tightly in his lap cuddled up to his chest oh so cutely and my heart melted, simply adorable, as Jack returned with a sea of food clutched in his arms and Cass made a comment about his perfect timing before he started the movie and found his seat. I didn’t talk much just kind of sat blankly staring at the images projected on the house, keeping myself pre occupied as I fiddled with hem of my shirt or watched my knee as it bounced not fully engaged in the peoples over exaggerated problems of the movie. Halfway through the movie I lost interest in it all together, it was far to dramatic and lovey dovey for me at this point in my life, I was just excited to see this new movie Napoleon Dynamite that came out in august and Jack agreed to watch afterwards. I whipped out my phone to text Rian who was only sitting a few mere feet away with his arms bound tightly around Cass, I shot him a text of a small party next weekend, to kick off the school year and meet kids from Dulaney I didn’t already know. His phone buzzed and I watched has he pulled it out of his pocket, laugh at the fact I just didn’t say it aloud and then shoot me a thumbs up approving of the idea. He showed the screen to Cass who nodded and repeated the motion. I laughed at them and showed it to Marc and he agreed it’d be a great idea. The rest of the first movie was spent just staring into air trying not to fall asleep and waiting for the second movie. Napoleon Dynamite started and it was hilarious probably one of my new favorite movie, it wasn’t anywhere close to my top three which consisted of The Sandlot, Home Alone, and Nightmare Before Christmas but it was up there, definitely top ten. We all packed up and piled into the cars and drove home with the windows down blasting music screaming the few lyrics we knew to the random pop song. Marc had sat in the back with me opting to let Cass stay in the front with Rian so he too must have noticed the canoodling between the two through the night, not like they were trying to hide it at all or anything and he turned to me to speak.

“I like you Jasey” marc laughed as the song came to a brief stop before directly shifting into another one that was almost the same.

“No you don’t.” I said but not bluntly as he raised a brow at me.
“You like the idea of me, in all actuality you know barley anything about me, I could be a psycho killer for all you know…” I shrugging my shoulders and popping a piece of left over candy I took with me into my mouth for affect.

For a while he went blank and just stared at me and I rolled my eyes laughing lightly pushing on his shoulder to relieve him of him thinking I'm this methodical bitch who used large words but in all reality, I was truly kidding. I liked him too; he was, charming to say in the least. But he had a good sense of humor I could more than tolerate being around. We dropped him off and then Cass before Rian turned onto the main road heading in the direction of our house as I crawled over the console and plopping into the passenger’s seat.

“Have fun tonight?” Rian asked pulling into our driveway.

“Yeah thanks Rian!” I said hopping out of the car.

I followed him upstairs as we parted ways at the top of the steps and I threw myself into bed still in my jeans and drifted right to sleep. A light smile dancing across my lips, if only everyday could go so smoothly, but id only be letting myself get my hopes to high in thinking returning back would be that easy of a task.
