Claire's POV

I stared at the now redish orange sky and white puffy clouds of Santa Fe through the car window. Smiling widely, knowing that we rented out a goregous house for two long months. It was mid July, but the weather here was always so nice. 70 degree's almost everyday. It was going to be a great and relaxing vacation this summer... no dancing to worry about, or school.. The nice weather could just take me away right at this moment... It was perfect.

Until Jordan, my annoying brother, elbowed me in the side, ruining my thoughts. I turned my glare over to him, taking out my headphones, Wait It Out by Imogen Heap suddenly disappearing from my ears.

"What?" I tried to keep my voice reasonable.

Though he was 20 - two years older than me - he was still a major dork, acting like he was five rather than an adult.

He gestured for one of my headphones, but i shook my head teasingly. I didn't want his earwax in these! Oh, the sisterly love.

He pouted and laid his head back, deciding to rest. Though it was only to be short lived, as we were just pulling into our new driveway...

"Wow..." Was all that came out.

The outside of the house was just absolutely breathtaking. Dark cinnamon walls outlined it from head to toe, lucious green grass covered the yard - with hedges across the front. I stepped out of the car and peeking to the side, I saw a large patio area with lounge chairs, a BBQ grill, and an umbrella covering a dining table. My parents and Jordan climbed out also; taking a look.

"Wow, this is just amazing." I said turning towards my dad.

"Isn't it?" he nodded. I smiled.

"Alright, now lets get the luggage inside. I'm in the mood for a cat nap..." My mom yawned as she walked over to the trunk.

My dad clicked a button on the key, unlocking it. I turned on my heels and went over to where my mom was.

I glanced over my shoulder as i walked and saw a guy playing basketball in his driveway next to us. He dunked the ball in the hoop and turned around to face me. I looked at him with an eyebrow raised as he looked at me with a unreadable expression. His russet brown skin glowed in the sunlight, as his hair was jet black and gelled... He was shirtless, sweaty, and very built...

Thats when i saw who it really was.. Was it Taylo-

My thoughts were suddenly cut off when i just totally ran into my brother full on.

"Ow!" I cried, now feeling heat flow straight into my cheeks.

"Watch where you're going doofus.." he said as he passed me, making his way into the house.

I shook my head and never looked back at.... him. Feeling that he would just start laughing once he saw the look on my face.

I stepped in front of the open trunk and picked up my suitcase, setting it down on the concrete. I shut the trunk and got my purse from the backseat, swinging that over my shoulder, I rolled my suitcase up the rest of the way of the driveway.

Throughout that whole process, I did not make eye contact with him, nor did I want to. Though I did have this feeling of someones stare burning through my back, it never tempted me to look back.

I sighed as I walked through the open door. My mom suddenly appeared right beside me... Where did she come from?

"Jordan already grabbed a room, so you have the one down this hallway." she explained, pointing where I had to go.

"Kay.." I muttered. Still some "things" on my mind.

"You alright?" Her expression turned concerned.

"Yup, fine." I smiled and walked down the hall towards my room.

I jumped on my huge, comfy bed, settling into the pillows I closed my eyes.

The image of Taylor Lautner immediately came into sight. His black hair...... Dark hazel eyes....

Wait!! What was I doing?

My eyes shot open as I sat up

I was never a total Twilight fan, yes I loved the books and the movies, but I wasn't obsessed. But why were the Lautners next door?

Why did I care? Ugh...

I then heard voices coming from outside my window.. Realising that I had the room with the view of their entire house. Perfect.

I hopped off the bed and peered through the blinds.......

Taylor and a girl - who looked about 12 - who was Taylors sister, Makenna, were in the backyard with their parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Lautner were sitting comfortably in a couple of lounge chairs, while Taylor was chasing Makenna around the lawn playfully. I smiled at them, seeing how much fun they were having... After a couple minutes, Taylor walked over to talk to his parents, then soon took a glance up at my direction. He smiled at me, it was friendly and inviting but I moved away from the window slowly.

Why was I looking into their yard? Thats just wrong Claire...

I groaned loudly and jumped back onto my bed, stuffing a pillow in my face.

I removed the pillow, now staring at the ceiling.. What had gotten into me. I didn't like Taylor Lautner remember?

I kept repeating that to my brain, but it somehow... wasn't listening. I sighed and flipped onto my stomach... Soon falling asleep.

Taylor's POV

Leaping high into the air, I dunked the ball into the hoop, feeling like I could fly.

Weird feeling.

I then turned around to see a family moving their stuff into the house next to us. Leaving my focus on a girl staring back at me with almost a mysterious expression.. She was... pretty. Her dark brown hair flowed down from her ponytail, while the sunset bounced off her tan skin.. I was practically staring at her in awe as everything else in the world slowed down to a stop, though she was still moving.

"Ow!!" she hissed pretty loudly. I winced as she ran into some guy... Ooo thats gotta hurt.

After that, she never looked back at me.. When she finally disappeared into the house I drapped my T-shirt over my shoulder and walked back inside.

"Hello?" My voice echoed through the house. I walked through the living room and into the kitchen, seeing my parents and Makenna outside in the backyard. I slipped my shirt back on and opened the sliding door.

"Oh hi Taylor.." Mom greeted me with a smile.

"Hey..." I replied, and sat in the grass.

"You okay there Taylor?" My dad spoke.

I laid down putting my hands behind my head, "Yeah. I'm fine." I stared at the sky, the sun making it look a dark orange, with clouds still floating about. I studied one cloud in particular.. I saw the girls face that I had seen just a couple minutes ago. I shook my head, dismissing those thoughts. I couldn't...... I can't do this now. I'm on vacation... I sighed and turned my head to watch Makenna.

"Hey Taylor, you look love sick.." She teased.

I rolled my eyes and got up slowly. She watched me carefully as we started circling each other like animals. I could hear mom laughing quietly in the backround.. Finally, she made her first move, she pinched me on the arm! I laughed and started chasing her. She squealed as we made a million circles around the yard. We went on for a bit... Until she got tired of running. I chuckled and sat on the grass again in front of my parents, while she dipped her feet in the pool.

"So what would you like for dinner?" Mom wondered to me.

"A family just moved in next door. Or rented I should say..." Totally ignoring her question.

She looked at me with a slight puzzled look but then kept talking. "Oh thats nice."

"Yeah. I saw them while I was out shooting hoops."

"Oh. Maybe we should go say hello, welcome them to Santa Fe." She suggested.

I thought about that, it would give me a chance to see her again..

Wait, what? Stupid voice inside my head speaking for me again..

"Umm... maybe tomorrow.." I spoke slowly.

My dad raised an eyebrow. "Okay. So what do you want for dinner.." She continued.

I heard Makenna swishing her feet in the water behind me. "Why don't we go out?" dad spoke again, looking at mom.

I then looked up at the house next to us, and saw her looking through the blinds with a smile on her face. I smiled back, trying to keep her gaze, but she moved away quickly. My eyebrows pushed down into a line, and i sighed, turning back to my talking parents.

Was love at first sight even possible? I never believed in it... Until now.
