I open the door to my second home and lug my suitcase behind me. I am only staying at the Irwin's for three weeks and you would think I was moving in.
"Anyone home?" All the lights are on and there is faint music playing in the background somewhere , but no one answers .
I set my heavy luggage near the entrance of the house and start up the stairs. The blaring music gets louder and louder as I approach Ashton's room.
I burst through the door and he jumps up like he saw a ghost " god Maggs! Does it hurt to knock once in a while?" Is this family still seriously asking me this question.
"Nice to see you too." I roll my eyes and he returns the gesture. " Besides it's not like you would have heard me anyway ." He glares as me when I move his stained shirt out if the way so I can sit.
"Your here for three minutes and your already annoying me." I throw one of his dirty socks at him. He gives me a look of pure disgust ," now that was low even for you." He plugs his nose with one hand and holds his sock In between two long fingers in the other . He looks at it as if it might explode any second.
"It's not like you didn't deserve it! Where is everyone anyway ?" I change the subject before we get into a bigger argument even if it really isn't a real argument. Sometimes I just wan to save my breath.
"Not sure Harry is at a friends house with my sister. I think my mom tried to say something about running errands , but I didn't quiet catch what she said." I almost ask about his dad but stop myself. Ive known him for 5 years and I still forget his dad doesn't come around.
I pull myself out of my thoughts "Imagine that, you didn't hear her ! Well I'm going to get my stuff so be right back." I say slowly like I'm talking to someone foreign. He really does need to get his hearing checked though .

Even though I am still pissed at my parents ,I can't help but be excited about staying at Ashton's . It's pretty much three weeks to relax. It's almost Christmas break so no homework, my mom won't constantly be On my case about my 'life choices', and the Irwin's never cease to surprise me with their amazing food.
I almost trip down the flight of stairs as I approach them. One of my many bad habits . Getting lost in my thoughts.
I start to tug on the straps of my suitcase and nearly tear my limb off. One last hard yank and I'm on the floor. I hear the loud crash that is me.
I laugh at my clumsy self as I am sprawled on the wood panneling.A few seconds later feet are padding down the stairs . " God Maggs! Minute 10 and your already breaking shit!" He laughs and offers his hand to me.
He pulls much to hard and I spring up and land with a heavy thud. My ankle stings from the hard contact.
I walk, or should I say limp,over to my bag once again and tug on the strap . After a few minutes I give up and start pushing it with my good foot, still with no luck.
I hear Ashton's laugh"why didn't you just ask me to help you."
"Because i don't need it.
"I can tell." He sarcastically remarks while he leans down to grab my suit case and let's out a huff " god did you pack you whole house?"
"Nope just my whole room. Ill be right back I'm going to get the rest of my things ." I joke.
He raises and eyebrow At me." The rest ?god what more could you possibly need?"
" when your a girl you'll understand ."
He looks at me shaking his head then heads down the hall to the guest bed room. It's humid and raining when I unlock my car . Another thing I still haven't gotten used to is summer during winter.
