again.
    “Okay…” Kelsey finally agreed. Ryder smiled. “You will like them.”
    Together Kelsey and Ryder slipped into the Ryder’s car and drove down toward the diner.
    “Hey guys.” Ryder beamed yelling across the diner.
    The guys were all jammed in the back of the diner laughing, arguing, and flirting with nearby girls. “Ryder!” Someone screamed.
    “Come on Kels.” Ryder said pushing her forward. He could see her hesitance but it didn’t bother him.
    “Who’s the hottie?” a few guys smirked as they approached.
    “Hey now…” Ryder growled “You all remember me telling you about my sister Kelsey…”
    “Wow…” one guy smirked.
    “Your sister’s hot!” exclaimed another.
    “Guys well this is my sister Kelsey and none of you will be hitting on her or you’re going to seriously regret it!” Ryder nearly growled.
    “You’re just lucky PJ’s on vacation…” another laughed.
    Kelsey giggled. Her brother had always been over protective of her and being in the same school should be fun but it just wasn’t. People in the city here were mean and that’s all there was too it. “Hello.” Kelsey waved shyly.
    One of the guys closest to the edge of the table stood. “Nice to meet you Kelsey, I’m Jeremy.” He greeted kindly.
    “Jer, I swear you better back off! What would Maggie say?” Ryder hissed.
    “I’m just being nice.” Jeremy defended.
    “Nice my ass, one of the biggest players in the school doesn’t just be nice to girls.” Ryder scoffed.
    “Like you said what would Maggie think? Well she’s taming me. I’m a one girl man now.” Jeremy chuckled. Kelsey could tell the hint of a smirk beneath his glinting eyes. He wanted to say something flirtatious or crude but just couldn’t muster it.
    Ryder explained how this was most of his friends. The only guys not here were PJ and Colt which he assured her she would meet sooner or later.
    The dinner went along well. Ryder had introduced everyone to Kelsey and asked that they look out for her since she was new in town. After they all ate and talked for a few hours Ryder turned to Kelsey “You ready to call it a night?”
    “ Yeah” She yawned.
    “Well we’ll see you guys at school tomorrow.” Ryder said and stood up.
    Once they were outside in the car Ryder began talking again. “So what do you think of the guys?” He questioned.
    “They’re alright.” Kelsey shrugged.
    “Well I know they liked you. Did you see t he way the guys were ogling you? It made me want to punch them.” He huffed. “It’s a good thing PJ is out of town. I wouldn’t want him going after you…”
    “Oh?” Kelsey asked with a smirk.
    “Don’t give me that look. PJ’s a great guy but he’s a player. A big time player and I doubt he would ever change.” Ryder snapped.
    “And you aren’t?” Kelsey questioned raising an eyebrow. “ I have been wondering about you and having too many one night stands?”
    “Hey a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. Besides, it’s not like I am you. You’re my innocent sister. I don’t want any of them corrupting you.”
    Kelsey simply rolled her eyes. It wasn’t as if she told her brother everything. They pulled into the driveway and the twins said their goodbyes parting directions going to their own rooms for the night.

    Kelsey awoke to the sound of her alarm beeping and her friend poking her in the arm. “Waky waky eggs and baky…” Hannah cooed.
    “Go away.” Kelsey mumbled.
    “Nope it’s time to get up for school.” Hannah told her.
    Kelsey had spent the rest of the night doing her homework while Ryder did who knew what. “I don’t want to go to school.” She moaned.
    “Well you got t o… So come on. I know you can’t manage to dress yourself properly so I am going to do you the honor this morning.” Hannah smiled.
    “People there don’t like me.” Kelsey groaned.
    “Well on my way up, I was speaking with your brother...”
