A/N: Okay, first chapter ready, and just a quick note, I changed Matt's name slightly, just to Matthew, nothing too major, just to make it less confusing when Mat Tan comes in.


Chapter One

Callie's POV

"Alright, this week we're going to be exploring blood type and genetics." The teacher walked around handing out cards to each of us. "By class Monday, you'll each have found out your blood type, and what that means."

"Wouldn't it be easier to just ask our parents?" My brother leaned forward poking my shoulder with a pencil. "I mean, it's a trigger for half our high school handing them a sharp object. They have the collective IQ of a snail."

I shrugged. "I think Mr Lee knows what he's doing Matthew. Besides, this is AP remember?"

"I guess you're right." His eyes grew to the size of saucers. "Wait, then what am I doing here?"

I laughed as I watched the drops of blood fall onto the card. "You should know."

The bell rang signalling the end of AP biology and the last class of the day, and the beginning of weekend freedom.


"Come on Cal', you've gotta come. You cannot leave me alone with Sophia Quinn." Cole and I sat in my bedroom. He was helping me look at photos and decide which ones to post on the Girls United website. My mom had actually been the one to introduce us. She commissioned me to take photos for an event called Foster Cares, Cole had been there as a volunteer with his group Girls United, we got to talking and the rest was history.

"Do I look like the type who hangs out with snobby rich kids?" I smirked.

"It's for Girls United. Just because it's organized by a bunch of trust fund babies doesn't mean it won't be fun." He nudged me. "Besides, Someone's Little Sister is playing."

Someone's Little Sister was a band I had heard at one of Matthew's open mics last year. He had introduced me to Mat and Lou, two of the members, who actually went to our high school. I had immediately become a fan, and a friend, to them both. That made it the perfect trick for Cole to use. "Fine. You win."

"Awesome."

A knock on the door caused us both to look up. "Callie, Mom wants to know if Cole's staying for dinner." My little brother Jude peeked in. "And she says 'keep the door open, even if it's just Cole.' That's a quote."

Cole and I looked at each other bursting into laughter.

Brandon's POV

"I promise I won't ask you for anything else." I stood outside my sisters' room, my twin sister Taylor leaning against a mannequin which wore one of her designs, a powder blue suit set with a dark blue bow tie over an aqua and teal dress shirt. "And I have the perfect place to model it."

I felt my face twist before I could stop it. "Didn't you ask Jesus?"

Mariana looked up from the computer. "He already turned her down, said it was a clown suit, and he wasn't a circus monkey."

I covered my mouth with my fist to hide my smirk. That sounded exactly like Jesus, but honestly, I kind of agreed with him. It was ridiculous looking.

"Pretty please, Brandon, with rainbows on top." Taylor formed her mouth into a pout.

I saw Mariana out of the corner of my eye mouthing. "Rainbows, don't refuse the rainbows."

I crumbled, nodding before I thought better of it. "And where exactly is this 'perfect place'?"


A/N: So, predictions, where do you think Brandon will end up wearing the 'clown suit'? Thoughts on Taylor and Matthew? By the way, Matthew is portrayed by David Lambert, Taylor by Maia Mitchell. Next chapter, we'll meet Colleen, see Stef and Lena, and the Quinn fundraiser among some other things. Chapters will get longer as the story progresses too. :)
