Chapter One:
Kevin sighed, watching his brothers and their girls dance. Not exactly the most typical relationships ever—Joe and Nisha were both vampires, Beloveds, actually. Nick and Ze’eva were werewolves—not like they show in the movies either—in wolf form, you wouldn’t think they were anything other than actual wolves.
Kevin sighed again as the song ended. Then he plastered a smile on his face. It was Frankie’s big 1-0 birthday, not the time or him to feel so depressed.
“Happy birthday, Tank-man.” Kevin said, ruffling Frankie’s hair.
“Watch the hair! I’m double digits now. Gotta look good for the ladies.” Kevin had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing.
“Sorry. Are you having fun?”
“Yeah. But there are so many people here. I have no clue who all of them are?”
“Let’s see. Maybe I can help. Who don’t you know?” Frankie glanced around the room.
“Who is he?” Frankie pointed.
“Oh, he is that guy from that Twilight movie (I still have not read the books) you loved so much. You just don’t recognize him because of his beard.”
“Oh, ok. Well, who’s that?”
“Zee’s brother.” They did this a few more times, with Kevin able to decipher each guest’s identity.
“Ok, I think that—oh, who is SHE?” Kevin looked to where Frankie was pointing. “She’s HOT!!!”
“No, she’s beautiful.” Kevin corrected, unable to take his eyes from the girl. Frankie smirked.
“Come on. Let’s go meet her.”
“Wait, no…”
“Don’t tell me you’ve suddenly become bashful.” Frankie grabbed Kevin’s hand and pulled him in the girl’s direction. “Hello.”
“Oh, hi Frankie.” She smiled and Kevin was mesmerized. “Happy birthday.”
“Thank you. Who ARE you?” Kevin nudged Frankie for his blunt questioning.
“Mona.” She stuck her hand out and shook both Jonas brothers’ hands.
