"He's got a criminal record longer than anyone in this town has ever seen!" My brother Kaeden's words repeated over in my mind as I got ready for the party tonight.

I didn't want to believe that 'Castronovo', as my brother had called him, had the criminal record my brother had accused him of having. The more I thought about it, I realized that from the way he treated me at first meeting, that I should take Kaeden's words to heart and listen to his warning.

I walked out of the bathroom and into my room, straight to the closet. I chose black skinny jeans, a white crop top and a hooded jean jacket, with grey vans.

I spritzed myself with perfume, grabbed my phone and texted Dani

To Dani:

I'M READDDDY! Be at your house in 5;*

Sliding my phone into my back pocket, I walked out my bedroom door turning the lights off as I passed the switch. I peaked my head into Kaeden's door to find him with his headphones on, the soft murmur of the beat evident. I shook my head slightly as if to say 'of course', then walked downstairs and towards the kitchen.

"Hello sweetheart," My mom smiled at me "You look nice"

"Well thank you mom," I smiled back "So do you"

She scoffed as she dried another plate "Where you off to?"

"Well," I looked at her with pleading eyes "There's a party tonight, down on the boardwalk and me and Dani want to go."

She sighed the looked at me "I suppose, have fun and be in by 11" She smiled

I nodded and kissed her cheek, spinning on my heel and dashing for the door.

"And I expect a text when you're back young lady!" My mother called after me

Making my way down the steps I turned to the right, walking over to the front door of the house next to ours, which happened to be Dani's. I knocked twice and waited, looking at the mat under my feet that read 'The Holmes'.

The door swung open to reveal Dani, dressed in short shorts, a plaid button down tied around her waist, a black crop top that read USA and a toque, with the word 'Ballin' written across it.

She engulfed me into her arms, squeezing.

"Oh Ade," She sighed looking me up and down "What are you wearing?"

"Clothes that I like" I protested crossing my arms

She sighed once again "It'll do, mom, dad, we're leaving!" Dani called before stepping outside, making her way to her car.
