Mother Issues

Chapter 1

"I don't want a party this year you guys." Madison said as she and the girls headed to their table outside in the Lunch Courtyard at Diamond Bar High. It was a warm and sunny afternoon in Diamond Bar, California, a normal day at Diamond Bar High.

"And why the hell not?" asked her friend, Alexandria.

"Because, that would involve my mother coming and I really don't want to see her." Madison explained almost matter of fact like. The girls all rolled their eyes as they sat down at their table.

"Why not, Maddie?" Michelle asked.

"Because, she's hasn't seen me since I was a baby; then all of a sudden a year ago, she calls me up and tries to walk back into my life, and dad welcomes her. I don't wanna talk to her." Madison explained, making the girls roll their eyes. Madison seemed to be stuck on the same soap box; she didn't want to see her mother, not now not ever.

"Oh come on Maddie Mad," said Kristen, throwing her arm around her best friend. "Chill out. Why can't you just except that your mom is back?"

"Because it's me and I don't like that bitch." Madison answered. Adrianna and Olivia rolled their eyes. Why was Madison being like this? She was usually the logical and smart one out of the crew.

"Madison, you need to chill dude." Danielle said, stealing a couple french fries from her tray.

"We're throwing you a party anyway, even if it's just the few of us" Jessica added. Madison rolled her eyes. Her friends obviously weren't going to give up on this damn topic so she figured she'd better just cave in and deal with it

"Fine." she finally said, pouting like a child.

"Smile, dolly dimples." Adrianna said.

"Please, it's for our fucking Christmas Card baby." Olivia added, as she pulled out her digital camera. She quickly snapped a picture of Madison, who was flashing a cheesy grin. She then looked at the picture, giggling as Adrianna peeked over her shoulder, seeing the picture and laughing.

"Oh this is so going on Instagram." she said, biting her lip and looking up. She then passed the camera around the table, letting all the girls looking at it. When it got to Madison, she couldn't help but laugh at it herself, laughing at how weird she actually looked.

"Nice, thanks Olivia." she smirked, sticking up her finger. Olivia smiled, blowing her a kiss, only for Madison to pretend to catch it and throw it on the ground. They all couldn't help but laugh at how crazy the pair were; it was always like this.

"So," Jessica began, once they'd all calmed down from laughing. "How about we get a someone to sing?"

"I call dibs on In Real Life or PrettyMuch ." Danielle suggested before Madison could even open her mouth.

"This is Maddie's party Danni," Alexandria pointed out, winking before continuing, "Let her decide."

"I don't know about all that, so how about we just all hang out at the mall and request a birthday cake for me. We can go to the too, or something like that." Madison said, once again trying to get out of having a party. The girls just rolled their eyes again. Madison was pretty adamant on not having a party but the girls weren't hearing it. It was a Pretty Diamonds tradition to have a birthday party and they refused to break the tradition just because Madison was on a soap box again.

"You are getting a party, Maddie, so just stop whining and stuff; we said you're getting a party and we mean it." Jessica said, jokingly slamming her fist down on the table. The girls all went silent for a minute before bursting out laughing, shaking their heads at Jessica's little outburst.
