This will be the most fun I've had in years. Messing with Maksean Swift will be enlightening. I just finished in Mr. Swift's office, and I'm now looking for the red headed victim.

"Trey give my soccer ball back!" I hear a girly voice yell.

Turning the corner I see a blonde girl that can't be older than thirteen along with a younger boy with dark hair. They are running around with the girl chasing the boy, who has a black and pink soccer ball in his arms. Just as I was about to walk away, I heard their father's voice.

"Trey, give Emma her ball. Emma, Snowball took a shit and it smells." He says as he turns the corner to yell at the bickering siblings.

With this being said, the two quit their arguing as Trey handed his sister her ball. Emma quickly took her belongings rushing out only to yell in disgust as an awful smell hit our noses. Groans of agony could be heard from the blonde, but the rest of the family chose to ignore it.

"Asher," I turned to the man, noticing his redhead daughter that was behind him to the side.

"Sir?" I asked politely. I might want to mess with his daughter, but I'm still a good kid as far as adults are aware.

"It's getting late, would you like to have dinner with us? Or would you prefer to go back home for dinner?" He asked, not noticing the look on his daughter's face.

I had to fight the will to smirk as I looked at her while her father was looking at his youngest child playing a video game. Turning back to Mr. Swift I feel a small kind smile on my lips as I say "If it's not too much to ask. I'm sure most of my family is asleep, they prefer to hit the hay a bit early, so no one would be able to make food for me. Plus I would be honored to have dinner with my new neighbors."

"Well then, I will finish making the Alfredo sauce. I make the best Italian food." He said smiling before heading to the kitchen. A few seconds later, I hear footsteps walking off. I looked to see Maks walking down the hall and decided to follow her.

I guess she heard me because she turned and grabbed my hand only to drag me into a room. She then proceeded to push me up to a wall.

"Well, I would have never expected Maksie Swift to push up against a wall like this." I said in a mocking manner.

"Look, I don't know what you're doing but stop before I make you." She said her grip on my arms tightened. I'm certain that I would have bruises later.

"I don't know what you mean. My step-mother wanted me to help out our new neighbors, and you just happen to be the lucky family who gets to be in the presence of your's truly." I say tauntingly with a smirk.

This seems to only make her angrier as she leans in, her glare turning even colder.

"Listen, if I find out you're planning something, I will beat you to a pulp then tie you to the school's flagpole for all your friends to see. Do you understand?" she said in a low voice, and no matter how much I hate to admit it, Maksean is very intimidating. Then I came up with a plan. I nod letting her think she won, and just as she began to let me go, I flip her around switching our positions. Now I had her pinned.

"Wha-" before she could say anything, I leaded in as close to her as possible without touching her.

I could hear the contrast in her breathing.

"You should be more nice to me or your life will start to get a bit harder." I warn, leaning back afterwards.

I then leave her room, a smirk dancing on my lips.

If that's how she reacts to being pushed against a wall, it'll be fun when I'm finished. But first I need to make sure she can get to that part.
