_Ethan's arrival_

The doorbell rang, and Diana's heart skipped a beat. She had been waiting for what felt like an eternity for Ethan to arrive. She had met him briefly at school, but they hadn't had a chance to talk much. She was excited to finally get to know him better.

"Diana, can you get the door?" her mom called from the kitchen.

Diana jumped up from the couch and made her way to the front door. She took a deep breath, smoothed out her hair, and opened the door.

Ethan stood on the porch, looking even more charming than she had remembered. He was wearing a smile and a pair of worn jeans, and his hair was messy in a way that made her heart flutter.

"Hey," he said, holding up a bag of groceries. "I brought some stuff for dinner. Your mom said it was okay."

Diana felt a pang of disappointment that he was talking about her mom, not her. But she pushed the thought aside and smiled.

"Awesome, thanks! Come on in."

As Ethan walked past her into the house, Diana caught a glimpse of Serace watching from the living room, a look of disapproval on her face. Diana felt a surge of determination. She was going to make sure Ethan knew she was the friendly and approachable twin, not Serace.

*Dialogue between the boy (Ethan) and Serace*

Ethan: "Hey, Serace. I've noticed you're always avoiding me. Is everything okay?"

Serace: "Yeah, everything's fine. I just don't want to get tangled up in any romantic drama, that's all."

Ethan: "Romantic drama? I'm not looking for drama. I just think you're interesting and I'd like to get to know you better."

Serace: "Sorry, Ethan. I'm just not interested. Please respect my boundaries."

*Diana's inner monologue*

(Diana watches the exchange from a distance, feeling a pang of jealousy)

"Why is Serace being so cold to him? Can't she see how charming he is? I bet she's just trying to snatch him from me, like she always does. I need to make sure I get his attention before she does."

*Argument dialogue between Diana and Serace*

(Diana confronts Serace in their shared bedroom)

Diana: "What's going on with you and Ethan? I saw the way you were talking to him earlier."

Serace: "Nothing's going on, Diana. I was just telling him I'm not interested."

Diana: "You're always so stubborn and independent. Can't you just let me have this one thing?"

Serace: "What are you talking about? You're not even making sense."

Diana: "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You're always trying to one-up me, even when it comes to boys. Well, not this time. I like him and I'm going to make sure he knows it."

Serace: "Diana, stop being ridiculous. I'm not trying to snatch anyone from you. And even if I was, it wouldn't be Ethan. He's not even my type."

Diana: "You're just saying that to make me mad. I know you're secretly interested in him."

Serace: "Diana, I swear on our twin bond that I am not interested in Ethan. Can we please just drop it?"

(Diana crosses her arms, still looking suspicious and jealous)
