Normally, Carter Mohren confides in his twin. Kailey knows everything about him. Except for one thing. One thing he isn't sure he should tell her. Not yet.
As he and his stepbrother Avery sit in their shared room working on homework, he glances over at him. He opens his mouth to say something before immediately shutting it and returning to his work. Maybe he should just keep this to himself... Is this even something kids his age should be thinking about? He doesn't even know.
Unconsciously, he heaves a huge sigh as he refocuses on his work.

Avery turns when he does.
"What is wrong Car?" he asks.

Carter glances over. "Oh... Uh... Noth- nothing... Not really... I..." He frowns, staring at his stepbrother. "Can I tell you something? A secret?"

Carter takes a deep breath, dragging his pen in little loops around his paper. "You know how a lot of the guys at school are, like... I dunno... noticing... girls?"

"Yea." he says. He keep it to him self that he isn't one of them.

"Is it... weird... that..." Carter takes a deep breath, tossing a sidelong glance at his stepbrother. "That I... don't? And, ummm... I... I may notice... you know..."

"You mean you notice the boys not the girls right?" he asks. "Me too. So I don't find it weird."

Carter turns to Avery, trying to discern if his stepbrother really just said what he thought he said. "Really?" he asks softly.

"this year." he says.
(maybe Carter falls for one of the gtoup home boys.)

((Ooh yes!))
"And how?" Carter asks, preparing himself to answer the same question if Avery asks it back.

"So it just kinda... happened one day that you realized you were paying attention to boys the way other guys were looking at girls?"

"Yea." he says. "How did it for you?"

Carter shrugs, shifting awkwardly in his seat. "I dunno. I guess..." Biting his lip, he takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out. "I guess it was, like... There's this guy in my class and he, like, brushed up against me, you know, like sometimes happens, but, like, it kinda almost felt like he was reaching for my hand? And I... I may have reached back and I guess... I dunno. I guess that's kinda when it hit me that I kept looking at the guys and, like, basically never even noticed the girls unless Kailey was with them. Does that make any sense or...?"

((Nope. I'm assuming Avery doesn't either?))
Carter feels like he can breathe again. "I know it's kinda dumb. Did you have any specific moments like that?"

"one day I was at the hangout with Brileigh. She pointed out a guy and I couldn't help but think that he was cute."

Curious, Carter asks, "Is it somebody I'd know?"

"You knew him. Though I don't think about him anymore. I have a crush on someone new."

"Oh? Is that someone else I'd know?" Carter asks, hoping that it isn't the same person that he's been crushing on.

He tells him who he has a crush on now.
(Not really sure who it should be. )

((I can make someone. Would that be helpful?))
Carter breathes. Whew. That was a close one. "I think I've seen him around. He's pretty nice from what I can see."

(Sure and I can do the same for Carter. Name can be whatever but the last name would be Hansford.)
"Mmmhmm what about you?" he asks.

Carter starts playing with his pencil. "Ummm... His name's, umm, his name's..." He clears his throat, tears off a corner of a page from his notebook, and jots down the name Roland before passing it to Avery.

"You- you know him?" Carter stammers. "There's no way he'd be, like... you know... gay... Or whatever. Right?"
