They were laughing hard as they came in the front door. Ryan, my older brother, and his buddies Jake and Liam. I jumped off my couch and hurried down the stairs to say hi. My heart fluttered, I was completely in love with Jake. Jake had moved into the area at the beginning of the semester. He was a senior and very mysterious. He had grown up in some foreign country and had only come back for his final year. They were all on the rugby team together and Ryan had quickly adopted Jake into his friends group which I had no complaints about.
As I came down the stairs I saw them beelining to the kitchen, my parents were out for the night. Jake was telling a story about how he had killed a snake in the backyard back in India and BBQed it. He was tall, over six foot and lanky. He walked with an easy confidence standing tall without and slouching. He had short cropped brown hair with natural sun-bleached highlights. He had piercing blue eyes that I struggled to hold in conversation. He was well built with round shoulders and strong arms. I had seen him lift his shirt to wipe his face at practice and he had a solid six pack. Ryan was heavier than jack but was shorter and walked with a cocky swagger. He thought he was the alpha, but I thought that would change. Liam was tall and slender, he played as a winger. He was a bit of a playboy and I know he smoked a bunch of weed.
