Maxie
"That's Jack Furham's house. There is my house and two doors down is your sister's," Cayden explains. Oh my goodness. His brother is Connor Evans. I completely forgot. Why do they come from a family of hot guys?!

Connor is shirtless. Oh and there's Hayden Blanc, also shirtless along with Liam Ashton. Good Lord what am I saying.

"I see you staring at my brother and his friends."

"And?"

"You're scaring the guy making him think you are an obsessed fan girl. Oh wait... you are," mentions my annoying little brother.

"Hey! I'm sure me looking at shirtless guys is different with him. I mean your too young to know though. Like going with girls all the time."

"Two girlfriends ever!" Cayden retaliated while my brother retaliated along with, "He likes girl's butts. Whatever!" I just rolled my eyes.

"Who lives on the other side of my sister two houses down?"

"The mysterious bad boy like every cliché story ever."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. He has the whole "I don't care" attitude. He does sleep with girls. I guess it's so cliché. Strange."

"You know you must really be innocent?"

"No..."

"Seriously, how am I related to this female?!"

"Excuse me!?" We pulled into my sister's driveway.

"Hey. No fighting in my car." Cayden seems like he's never watched a horror show before. Does that make sense?

"So what's his name?"

"Jace Cordova." I legitimately choked on my own spit.

Jace Cordova is the guitarist and singer of a small band that I love. Lasting Phoenix. I know cheesy name but awesome band. They are alternative, which is my main listening genre.

"I'm guessing you know who that is?"

"Maybe..."

"Maybe? She is obsessed with him! She has his shirts, albums, heck even posters of him shirtless!" I hate boys.

I shot a glare before getting out of the car. I got up to the doorstep not even bothering to take anything but my purse. My sister instantly open the door with a cheery smile. The moment I saw that, I knew she was up to something. I turned behind her, but she moved before I could get past her.

"Sup' Sissy?" I ask.

"Nothing much just talking to someone," she replied with that suspicious grin.

"I'm sure there's nothing on your mind making you happy since you look dead inside."

"Sarcasm has always been your first language!"

"Can you help or something?" Tyler calls out holding all of our luggage along with Cayden.

"Well no shit dumby!"

"I'm fifteen, not five..."

"Oh but you are in our eyes." My sister chimes in.

"I hate you both."

"Love ya too."

"Can't feel my fingers!" Cayden interrupts.

"You are adorable."

"Getting cozy, are we?" Lora calls.

"Hilarious."

"Oh cheer up!"

"I'm so not cheered up. I just made Tyler look like a five year old for nothing!"

"Lora? Is everything ok out there?" Lora's eyes popped out of her head.

"Yeah!"

"That voice sounds vaguely familiar..." Cayden and I mention. Cayden's voice sounded like he had an idea of who. I had an idea that probably wasn't probable.

"Yeah. Um... About that..."

"What are you not telling me? Lora, I swear if you invited my all time celebrity crush without acknowledging my ugly airplane hair and attitude I swear."

"Heh. Huh..." Lora kept getting more nervous, "Jace! We could use that extra set of hands!" My death stare couldn't explain my anger.

"Sure! You must be Maxie and Tyler. Hey Cayden!" He's more like a god in person. He shook each of our hands. Time to hit the fan account.

He grabbed my suit cases with no problem. How can my life become so blessed in a few minutes. Taylor Swift is next door. Zac Efron on the other next door. Cayden and Jace after them. I'm a little starstruck.

"Hello! Maxie? Are you even listening?"

"Huh Lora?"

"Of course not. Your room is upstairs it's white walls. Go check it out. I have decorations in bags Maxie. Don't-"

She got cut of by my squeal and the run for the stairs.

"Scream."

I went into the room I knew was mine because I had a feeling. You know when you get a gut feeling when you do something basically that.
I walked in to see Jace, who must be so strong if he got past a squealing teenage girl, getting things out of those bags. I stopped dead in my tracks when I realized it was merch for Lasting Phoenix. The other boxes were the room idea things I told my sister about.

You have no idea how much I wanted to die in this moment.

"I see someone actually listens to our band," he chuckled with a smirk.

"It was actually by accident hate to say it. I'm glad that I found you guys though. Music evolves, and now it's hard to find some good songs."

"Touching." He still had a smirk. Huh...! He kinda reminds me of certain book characters. You know always smirking mischievously.

He picks up my guitar from next to my suitcase and starts playing one of my favorite songs not by him, "I Don't Love You" by My Chemical Romance.

"Well when you go, don't ever think I'll make you try to stay."

I joined in harmony.

"And maybe when you get back I'll be off to find another way." He looked up at me, basically ignoring me until I joined in.

"Wow. You can sing."

"I really can't, but thanks."

"No like when I say you can sing, you CAN sing." Arrogant little fu-

"Maxie! I have pancakes!"

"Bye! You know me so well Lora!" I scream leaving Jace in my room. That probably wasn't a good idea.

I thought my dream band leader wouldn't be so arrogant. I have been to one concert, but some people post them, and he seemed so nice.

I got downstairs practically running. My sister adds a little bit of chocolate powder to her pancakes that make them even better. I took one of the I don't know how many plates there were. There were a lot which made me think that we are having neighbors over.

I saw in the back of the house, there was a huge pool. Turning the corner were the shirtless guys Connor, Hayden, and Liam.

"She made pancakes!" Hayden yells. They start charging so quick that I barely had time to move away.

I jump into a seat where I devour my pancakes.
"Oí! Who's the pretty girl?" I hear Connor whisper to my sister.

"The bitch you see in your dreams."

"So the answer is your taken?" which Liam questions. To that the boys including Cayden, Tyler, and Jace, slap him in the head.

"Was it something I said?" I face palmed to that.

"You're even making her cringe," Hayden adds

"What's your name little cutie?" Connor says earning a slap from Cayden. Huh... Hayden and Cayden.

"Badass Bitch," I reply with no hesitation. They stare but then start laughing, "What's so funny? You thought I was kidding?" They went dead silent staring at me.

"Her name is Maxie, but when she does say that, believe her," Lora chimed in after giggling and rolling her eyes.

"I have already met Cayden, the most adorable high schooler ever."

"Hey! What about me?" Liam asks with wide eyes.

"My answer is hay is for horses. What grade are you in or year in college?"

"I'm a junior!" Cayden, Jace and Liam chorus.

"Well so am I," I continued," How about you two?"

"I'm actually twenty five. Same with Hayden."

"That's cute that you're friends with people younger than you!"

"How about Tyler?" Cayden questioned.

"He going through his second year of high school. They grow up too fast." I fake cried.

Then came Lora, "You are so right. Yesterday he was in diapers. Now he looks like he's going to get all the girls."

"Hey who says I don't?"

"Because you got a bad attitude," I added a ton of sassiness.

"So since Maxie just moved here, well duh, she can come over tonight to meet my friends," Cayden interrupts.

"I would lo-"

"Where are you guys meeting?" Cayden's face went pale. I knew where we were meeting- a party. As in HIGH SCHOOL party.

"Bonfire."

"Bonfire where?"

"Celeste's house."

"I'm warning you, if you take a single-"

"Eye off your sister I'm dead."

"We can hang out at my house for now. If you want to get ready first though, you can go ahead. Oh and what's your number?"

"Oh here."I put my number in his phone putting a purple heart next to my name.

I ran upstairs changing into a not-so-showy outfit. I mean my outfits seemed really crazy. Because I so didn't go through my sister's stuff...

I got a text from a number I didn't know. It read:"Make sure to cover some of it up if your sister disapproves."

"I'll make sure!" I reply.

I was wearing a strapless, red tube top and a pair of black high waisted shorts. I wore my white vans, which my sister would stop me, but it's worth a try. I through a black corduroy long sleeve button up over my outfit because of June gloom. I had a red suede backpack that contained a bathing suit, sunglasses, extra makeup and extra clothes, and I took off most of my makeup. I fixed my hair into a normal side braid. You can never be too prepared.

I should have worn my platform black boots. I could be tall and scare the little bitch boys.

I run downstairs with a lighter flickering in my hand. Lora's hand slams against the top of my chest to stop me from running.

"I'm just going to uh go with Cayden." I ran down the stairs.

"Hey Beautiful!" Liam wraps his arm around my waist with wiggly eyebrows.

"In your dreams." I get out of his grip. Hey he has a shirt on! He's growing up quick too. He figured out what clothes are.

"So what music do you like?" Connor asks.

"What do you expect? Wait 'I love Justin Bieber and all that he is. Oh and OMG did you hear Bianca Nightingale's new single' because that's not it."

"Then what is your taste?"

"Alternative, Old Rock, little bit of pop and kinda my own category." I shrugged. My music taste is weird. I listen to literally everything and anything.

"Me too!" Jace screams looking up from his phone.

"I am surrounded by idiots, but that's ok right? Right. Now party. Jace, you are an idiot for thinking one of your fans doesn't know your music taste." He smirked. It's like that the only face guys make these days.

"She hasn't said her guilty music taste." Tyler is teasing me, which he better not.

"What is it? There's nothing as bad as One Direction!" Jace laughed. I felt like crying.

"Don't make fun of my babies like that!"

"Oh..."

"Just take me to your house, Cay."

"Ok! Bye guys. See the guys later."

We walked out of the house. He started laughing. Aw...!

"What?"

"You are the adorable one."

"Thanks." I blew a piece of hair out of my face.

When we got in his car, he started talking about the party.

"It's not as big as normal high school parties, but we are kind of the popular group, so there will still be many people. The bar is off limits to everyone except us. The people who are close with Celeste."

"But I don't even know Celeste."

"Yes, but you know me. No I was just going to throw you into the party and leave you there."

"I actually was thinking that."

"Well no. I keep promises."

He pulled into his driveway, he took his key out, and he ran to open my door.

"To be honest, what were your brother and friends thinking I would be like? 'Hey y'all! I smoke weed with my friends on our farm where we have secret cannibis plants.'"

"Yeah... that sums it up!" I breathed in then out.

"No hablas con mi ahora porque estoy demoníaca." He took a step back.

"Well, are you ok? I didn't think you would be like that." He is so hot. Wait, what?

"I'm fine now."

We walked in. I followed behind him. We went up the stairs, and he opens the door to the first room.

"This one's mine." He gestured for me to go in. I did.

"Tell me more about you." I hopped onto his bed sitting criss cross. Criss cross applesauce!

"My favorite color is purple. I also like One Direction, but sh... they don't know that. The Mets will always be my favorite team. I love root beer, burgers and broccoli. That covers it!"

"Nope favorite game? Board and video. Oh and root beer is amazing, and lilac is my favorite color." He smiles at me. I blush a little bit. Stop Maxie!

"Board game is probably Clue and video is anything on Xbox." I smiled back at him.

"I love Clue." He smiled back. There was a comfortable silence as I stared into his caramel colored eyes as he stared into my emeralds. We started leaning in. This is not you Maxie!

Before I could stop myself his sisters waltz in.

"Oh! Are we uh... are we interrupting something?" They look disturbed.

They are gorgeous one with blonde hair which is completely different then the rest. The other has the same color as Cayden and Connor. The only difference are that her eyes are green like mine.

"No. We were just hanging out!" I closed my eyes.

"I'm sorry! I'm usually not like this. Hi, I'm Maxie. I know who you guys are though. I have a lot of outfits from your clothing line."

"Well we will properly introduce ourselves. I am Terra, and this is Joanna. Yes Terra as in Mother Earth in Roman Mythology." The blonde one is spicy. I likey.

"You like mythology?" I honestly was shocked.

"We love mythology!" Terra and Joanna practically screamed.

"Hera is such a hot girl!"

"Oh my goodness yes!" Terra exclaimed.

"We'll leave you guys to it! We need to run." Cayden was doing this cute thing with his mouth when I turned around. It's hard to explain.

"Is something wrong? You look upset."

"No I'm just- just tired."

"Same, I have a caffeine addiction mixed with sleep insomnia."

"We should go probably. Celeste wants me to help set up, and she is dying to meet you. It's funny because her parents are cops, but they travel a lot because they take 'alone time' seriously."

We walk back out to the car. He opens the door for me like before, so I get in and thank him. I think I like him. I am such a weirdo. I either feel in a situation or I don't.

He grabs the gear shift and puts it into drive then grabs my hand.

"I hope you don't mind. I grip something when I drive. It's kind of a protective instinct."

"It's ok." Except for the fact that my hand is numb. Not from you grabbing it too hard. For you even touching me.

I stare out the window, trying to hide the shock this dude is giving me.

"Is something wrong?"

"I don't know." He looked at me as we reached gates in front of a big house.

"It's inherited. You are probably asking how can two officers afford that, inheritance."

"You read my mind." I smiled. He smirked. Just let him have the satisfaction.

"It's Cayden doofus!" He yells into the speaker.

"It's Celeste asshole!"

"It's strange to explain. I've known her for a while."

"Who the hell are you talking to?"

"Your parents because they are so already back home."

"Sarcasm. Who?"

"Lora's sister!" They have a strange relationship.

"Sup Maxie! I'm Celeste. We can be redhead twins!"

Well my night is just going to become ten times crazier!
