"Dammit Hood"

"Michael someone is at the door!" Madison called from inside the bathroom. She was returned with silence. Groaning she sat her curling iron on the counter and descended down the stairs to answer it.

She flung the door open to reveal Michael's friend with bright hazel eyes and a mess of curls on top of his head, Ashton Irwin.

"Hi Ashton," Maddison greeted, with no emotion.

Ashton responded with a cheeky smile, "Hello Maddie."

Maddison stared at him, the tension in the room growing. Ashton still stood outside, while Maddison blocked the entrance, but he didn't care. He had the perfect view of the perfect girl. Maddison Clifford was the most beautiful girl in high school, and he wanted her for himself.

"Are you going somewhere tonight?" Ashton asked.

"I have a date with Riley Little," Maddie told him.

"Oh..."Ashton trailed off, "Well...you look very pretty."

"So..."Maddison sighed, "What are you doing here?"

Ashton was brought out of his haze, "Oh...right, well we are having band practice."

Maddie's eyes grew to slits. "MICHAEL!" She screamed, turning away from the door and to the basement steps.

"Jesus Christ Maddie," Michael said as he was coming up the basement steps, his hand covering his ears from his sisters high pitched squeal, "What do you want."

Ashton stepped into the house, closing the door slowly behind him. It was always awkward when the boys were around and Michael and Maddie got in a fight, which was almost everyday.

"I told you not to be here, or bring anyone here tonight," Maddie glared at Michael.

He looked blankly up at Ashton, trying to remember when she said this.

"Don't you remember?" Maddie questioned, "I told you, Riley was coming over tonight, and I specifically said, "Michael, I have a date Friday night, don't bring any of your idiot friends over."

Michael scratched the back of his neck, the conversation coming back to him, "Oh yeah, I forgot. Sorry sis."

"Sorry?" Maddie raged, "You never listen to me! I ask you to do one thing and you don't listen! What do you do, defied to have band practice!"

Michael crossed his arms, "Mom told you not to have any boys over when her and dad where gone."

Maddie's mouth formed an 'O'.

"You don't want me to call mom do you?" Michael questioned.

Maddie looked between Ashton and Michael, "Fine. You and your friends can stay here on one condition, you don't make a sound and don't come up until Riley is gone."

Michael smirked at his sister, "You've got a deal. Now come on Ashton, Luke is already downstairs.

By the time Maddie curled the rest of her hair, applied the right amount makeup, and picked the perfect outfit, the doorbell was being rung, meaning Riley was here.

Riley Little was the star of the football team. He was built well, with bright blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. All the girls drooled over him, but tonight he was with Maddie, homecoming queen.

Maddie quick glanced in the mirror, checking her appearance before letting the door fling open. "Hey," she smiled at Riley.

He returned the smile, "Hi Maddie, how are you?"
