The Player and the Nobody

Chapter 3: Maggie's Household

§Maggie's Household§

"No." I say as I start to walk back down the driveway, "I ummm... Just pulled into this completely random driveway to uhh... Yell at you for speeding."

"Really?" He looks at me dubiously.

"Yep now that I've said it I can go. I would say it was pleasure to see you again, but then I would be lying." Yes! I mentally high fived myself for that awesome comeback. I usually don't come with good ones unless it's just Jessi and I. I do a little dance in my head as I open my car door, but immediately freeze when I hear an oh so familiar voice.

"Mags?"

"Maggie is not available at this moment please leave a message after the beep....beeeeep!" I could hear the boys chuckle across the lawn.

"Umm.. Mom wants to know why your home early and not coming in the house." The boys laughter becomes louder and more obvious. Damn!

"Just go inside. I'll be in soon." WHY!? Couldn't my mom just wait a few more seconds until the boys were inside?

"You know if your gonna lie you should probably do it well." I hear Derek chuckle

"Oh up yours!" I flip him off and storm up my driveway. As I walk in I smell some sort of bacon.

"Hey mom!" I drop my backpack and walk into the kitchen to see my mom putting chicken wrapped in bacon in the oven.

"Hey kiddo! What's got you home so early?"

"Jessi" I reply grabbing an apple out of a basket and taking a bite. She just smiles slightly and nods her head. Jessi and I have been best friends since I moved here in 2nd grade, so mom knows how she can be at times. I grab my backpack and walk up the stairs to my room. It's vibrant turquoise with white carpet and pictures of my favourite singers, youtubers, and viners. I throw my backpack onto my bed and put my phone on my dock playing Taylor Swift's new album. I know it's cheesy, but I like her songs, so don't judge me. Shake it Off comes on and I start to sing it as I pull out my laptop and put it on my desk.

"Cuz' the haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate, baby I'm just gonna shake shake shake shake shake ah shake it off shake it o..."

"Sing it girl!" I immediately stop singing and turn off the music. I walk over to my window and open the curtain to see Derek, Sam, and Seth staring back at me all smiling.

"Awww... Why did you stop?" Sam asks with a frown.

"Yea you were rockin' it!" I looked at Seth and he gave me a thumbs up.

"Shut up." I mumble turning around, blushing furiously, not even bothering to close my curtains. I turn on the music again and get back on my essay about the French Revolution.

"Hey guys look! Its a goody goody doing her homework right after school." I just turn up my music and try to ignore the conversation going on about how much of a "goody goody" I am. Soon they went somewhere else and I could put all my focus on my paper. After about a half an hour of writing I was a little past half way done. I stretched, but continued.

              *ding dong*

I ignored the doorbell and kept typing. I could slightly hear my mom greeting someone and then I heard her shout my name. I sigh and finish the sentence I was working on. As I walk down the stairs the voices get louder. I follow them into my living room and see to my horror Derek, Seth, Sam, and some lady that seemed in her mid 30's.

"Maggie meet the new neighbours. This is Amanda, her son Derek, and his friends Seth, and Sam." I smile at Amanda.

"Hi! I'm Maggie! Welcome to Shelfine!" I block out the boys trying to get my attention, while having a conversation with Amanda. We talk for a few minutes, until my mom speaks up.

"Mags? Why don't you go show the boys around while Amanda and I talk." No, no, no, no, no, noo! Please don't make me.

"Okay." I put on a fake smile and gesture the boys to the kitchen.

"Why are you guys here?" I hiss as soon as we are out of ear shot.

"Woah! Chill babe!" Derek puts his hands in the air with playful surrender.

"Don't call me babe."

"Whatever. So show us around Mags."

"No. I need to work on my essay. Show yourselves around, just don't touch anything." I walk away and up the stairs into my room to my desk to start working again. I don't get very far until I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. I fling myself towards the door to close it, but Derek is there pushing against me causing me to stumble forward and the door to open.

"You're so weak." He chuckles.

"Guys what happened to showing yourself around down stairs?" I ask admitting defeat and walking my back to my laptop.

"We got bored."

"So you decide to come into my room?"

"Yep!" Derek beams.

"Whatever just don't go into my drawers."

"We aren't that curious." Sam says.

"Woah speak for yourself dude!" Seth replies as I roll my eyes and slap his hand away from my bra drawer.

"Don't be a pervert either."

"Ooohhhhh! ROASTED!" I hear all the guys start to do the weird oohhing and I smile slightly and turn around to start typing again.

"Ugghhh!! I'm so bored! Stop doing homework and do something with us." I can hear the whinyness in Sam's voice.

"I'm sorry I actually like to not fail in school." I continue to type. Until suddenly I hear a slam and my fingers are throbbing.

"Ahhhhh!!!" I scream holding them. I look up and glare at Derek standing over me with his hand still on the lid of my laptop.

"You could have broken my screen! Idiot" I hit him on the shoulder and he holds it looking pained. I roll my eyes and try to open my laptop, but fail, due to the fact that his hand was still heavily placed on top of it.

"But I didn't, so now that we are over that let's do something." I sigh realizing that I would never get any work done if I kept resisting them. I was almost done anyways and I'm curious to see what they plan on doing.

"Fine. What do you wanna do?"

"Baby I love you modified version?" Sam looks around to see everyone's response. The guys are immediately in and look at me for my answer. I am honestly scared, but excited. A room full of cute guys and they want me to play a kissing game with them?

I play hard to get, "Really? Why would I want to contaminate my mouth with that?" I point at Derek and get a chuckle from the boys, but finally agree.

"This is going to be awesome!" Seth looks at me mischeviously and I gulp.

***Okay so I was going to continue the chapter with the game, but I'm really tired and I want to go to bed.
