" Shut up Noah!!" Beccaleigh whined. She was sitting behind me in the van, next to Mikeala. I was seated in the middle next to Noah.
We were headed to their Aunt and Uncle's house to celebrate Christmas. I was invited to come with them out to Long Island for Christmas and had accepted the invitation as a chance to meet some new people and spend some time without my brothers. So I had spent the past 2 days in a minivan with Beccaleigh, Mikeala, Noah, and their parents, Joanna, and Steve. It had been okay for the most part but now that we were less than 30 minutes away they were all over each other's backs, bickering about everything. It was really beginning to get to him.
" Why don't you all just shut-up and let us all have some peace and quiet for the last 15 minutes of the car ride!" I shouted anger getting the better of me.
" Fine." The 3 said in unison.
" Oh yeah, and you guys never told me anything about your cousins." I added curiosity kicking in.
" Our cousins, well we've got like a million of them, which ones do you wanna know about." Beccaleigh replied.
" Please don't say all of the older girls cause I can't bear to have my friends lusting after my cousins!" Noah whined.
" Well in that case, Let's start with our cousin CJ she's around your age." Mikeala added, " Her name is Callista, she's 14, with Black curly hair and green eyes. Um� I guess she's about 5'5, she's really athletic and a total goof when you get to know her, otherwise she is totally shy. Plus she's like so intelligent and introspective. On the whole she's a lot like you."
" Cool, can't wait to meet her, one question though, well two." I said.
" Shoot," Beccaleigh exclaimed.
" Argh!! For your own safety leave CJ alone!" Noah whined.
" Well, first is CJ pretty in your opinion and how many cousins do you actually have?" I said ducking, because I full well knew Noah was going to hit me really soon but what could he expect I needed to meet some normal girls I am a 14 year old guy after all famous or not1
" CJ is so totally pretty it makes me sick! I can't even pick up guys when she's around it's not even funny1" Mikeala whined and Beccaleigh joined her, " I know what you mean!"
" Yes! I, I mean ok cool" I corrected myself and ducked again.
`
" Well now that you have the basic idea about my favorite cousin, we'll be going to meet her." Noah said hopping out of the stopped car.
I smoothed my hands over my long unruly hair, and straightened my shirt. Following behind Beccaleigh he entered the Cartwright household, and was met by the scent of fresh cooking and sweets, which mingled with the scent of pine and cranberry that was strung on the tree. A tall thin woman with curly red hair and green eyes greeted us. She introduced herself to me as Morgan, Cally, Eve, Brendan, Lexiann, Joshua, and Juliet's mother. Then we were ushered into the house and the gifts were dropped under the tree.
" Dinner will be served in like 20 minutes." She added leaving the room.
Then as the adults left the room I heard a small faint sneeze. Beccaleigh and Mikeala said hello to the hidden person, ' Hi Cally." they said in unison. Noah bent over and complained about someone ruining his Christmas. I bent over to see whom this mysterious person was hiding under the Christmas tree, which was something I would normally be doing at this time were I at home. As I lay on my stomach halfway under the tree I was confronted with the most beautiful girl I'd seen in a while, at Least the most beautiful girl I'd seen who hadn't screamed in my face and nearly fainted. She had long curly, black hair, pale freckle stained skin and startling emerald green eyes. Then I suddenly realized that this was CJ who had been described to me earlier in the car.
" Hi, I'm Taylor Hanson and you are?" I said mentally smacking myself in the head for saying something so dumb when I knew damn well who she was.
" Callista Jordan Cartwright." Noah triumphantly exclaimed, obviously reveling in the fact that he had tried to upset her. I guessed that she didn't really like her full name.
" Ok fine. Call me Cally or CJ." She said blushing with an annoyed look on her face, proof that she wasn't happy with Noah for giving away her secret to me.
" Cool" I said.
" Huh?!" she said startled.
" My name is Jordan too. My full name is Jordan Taylor Hanson." I said smiling.
" Woah you're the one in that band right?!" She said startled that she had come to such a realization.
" Yeah" I said quietly and smiled. She just smiled in return and my heart melted.
