I rang the doorbell but no reply, I was about to leave after numerous tries but I heard the sound of the door opened.

"Hi, sorry for the delay." a thick smooth, and warm voice said.

I turned back to the person with a smile to find a cute hot brown-skinned guy with a nice haircut and deep pink lips, from the structure I think we're the same age.

"Oh no problem, I'm Addison," I announced with the cutest smile I can make.

"I'm Kelvin, I just moved here last night with my brother, how can I help you?" he asked with a friendly smile.

I think am gonna faint, PUT YOURSELF TOGETHER ADDISON!

"I live opposite you with my family, my mom asked if you guys would like to come over for dinner," I said blushing.

Please say yes.

"Sure, we'll love it too. See you later Addison" he smiled.

"Ok, bye." I waved as I ran downstairs for my bestie's house smiling.

....

I took the bus to Joan's house which was not far from mine. After thirty minutes ride, I finally arrived. The door was already opened I walked in, greeted her uncle Tyler who was busy smoking outside the backyard, and headed straight to Joan's room.

I walked in and saw her watching a movie, I knocked on her room brown wooden door to get her attention, she turned to me with a smile.

"Addison, come in," she said after getting down from her bed. I threw my bag on her desk and sat on her bed.

"I've something to show you," I said immediately and brought out my phone to show Joan the picture of our neighbors which Angela showed me last night.

"I don't believe you!" Joan screamed as she checked out the pictures.

"That's your own business," I replied with a hiss and collected my phone from her hand before she breaks.

"Really?" she asked with her eyes widely opened.

Joan is the best but she can get crazy over boys.

"Yes!" I shouted as I stood up.

"Where are you going? you just came," she asked with a sad face before getting up from her bed.

"Home, we'll be having dinner with our new neighbors and my mom wouldn't like it if I show up late," I replied picking up my black leather cross bag.

"Wait, I'll come with you," she said with a big smile and walked over to her wardrobe.

"What! why?" I asked confused as I turned to her.

"No reason, I can't come to your house?" she asked with a stern look and left for the bathroom.

"That's not what I meant, be fast!" I shouted as I sat on her bed waiting for her

....

"I'm back mom" I shouted as I entered the house with Joan.

"Great, I need your help. Look at the time, it's 6:30 pm" she said coming out of the kitchen and dragged Joan and me to the kitchen.

What's happening?

"Good Evening Ma" Joan greeted as my mom lets go of her hand.

"Oh Joan, sorry about that. How is dear?" my mom asked with a smile.

"I'm good".

Joan is not polite but when she comes to my house, she behaves like an angel and my mom keeps saying that I should be more like her. Like why do moms compare their kids with their friends?

"Ok, I need both of your help. Angela!" my mom shouted out my little sister's name.

I've never seen my mom like this before, she's very calm and organized but now she looks confused.

"Wait mom, chill," I said holding her. "Calm down".

"Ok, what?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" I asked.

"Remember the new neighbors who just moved in?" she asked and I nodded.

"I saw one of them downstairs when I got back from work. He greeted me and said that they will be here by 7:00 pm and I foolishly smiled and said "Can't wait." I'm SO STUPID" my mom said hitting the fridge.

"So what's the problem?" I asked confused.

"WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? ARE YOU CRAZY? look at the whole house, is it clean or dirty?" she shouted.

I looked around but the house is clean as usual. My house can never be dirty because firstly mom doesn't like a dirty and disorganized place and lastly we are just three living here. We live in a good and comfortable place even though the rent is huge, mom still pays for it.

"It's dirty" I lied and Joan nodded her head in agreement.

She also knows how my mom is.

"But that's not a problem. We can clean it up before they get here" I said boldly.

"That's nice, thank you, girls. I'll go make the dinner then," she said hugging Joan and me tightly.

After we were done cleaning the house which didn't take long because it was clean already, I went to my room and showered, changed into a nice dress, and ran back to the living room.

"How do I look, family?" Angela said walking majestically to us, dressed in short crazy jeans, a crop top with black snickers, and a huge makeup on her face.

"Wow, You look like a slut." I replied laughing so did Joan.

"Are you mad or stupid? which one? go and change that rag you are wearing!" my mom yelled angrily.

"But mom..."

"You are still here? look it's 7:00 already. Angela don't vex me this evening" my mom said.

"Fine!" she said as she angrily ran to her room and slammed the door. The doorbell rang immediately, I'm sure the new neighbors are here already.

"I'll get it," I said running towards the door.

"No, I'll get," Joan said also running towards the door.

"What are you doing?" I asked angrily.

"Getting the door," she replied stating the obvious. "You have a boyfriend, so I'm watching out for you and your relationship."

I knew the only reason she's here is to see the neighbors.

"I don't have a boyfriend. Fine" I gave up walking back to my seat.

As Joan opened the door, I recognized Kelvin immediately but he came with his brother I think because they look alike, from his height and structure I'll say he's seventeen or eighteen, he looks hotter and cuter than Kelvin.

"I'm Addison's mom, call me Cynthia," my mom said as stood up from her seat welcoming the two brothers in, we all walked to the dining and sat down, I sat facing Kelvin's brother while Joan sat in front of Kelvin.

This is new and odd, I haven't had dinner with anybody except Joan and Michael at my house before.

"Nice meeting you Mrs. Cynthia, I'm Kelvin and this is my brother..." kelvin was about to finish before his brother interrupted rudely

"I'm Max, nice meeting you ma," Max said with a short smile and brought out his phone and headphone.

What a rude boy, his brother is so nice and sweet.

"Sorry about that" Kelvin apologized.

"No problem dear," my mom said with a smile.

"I'm Addison and this is my friend Joan," I said pointing to Joan who wasn't even listening, she's blushing and staring at Max.

"Yeah, I know." Kelvin laughed while his brother didn't even look at me just listening to whatever is on his phone. "Hi Joan, I'm Kelvin," he said with a cute smile as his eyes met Joan, she smiled in reply.

I'm sure she's only interested in Max, she likes bad boys and not goody boys.

"Angela!" my mom shouted out.

"Here mom," Angela said with a frown as she entered the dining.

"This is my last child Angela." my mom said pointing at Angela who's jaw dropped immediately she saw Kelvin and Max.

"H-Hi, I'm A-Angela," my sister said blushing like a fool as she sat next to my mom.

"So Kelvin, what about your parents don't they live with you guys?" my mom asked.

"Yeah they do, they went on a business trip and will be back next 3 months," Kelvin replied with a cute smile.

After the dinner, Joan and I cleared the table while Angela was doing her own thing.

"Thanks for the meal, your food was nice, I loved it." kelvin said with a big smile on his face.

"Aww, thanks love." my mom replied.

"Thanks, Mrs. Cynthia, I enjoyed the food," Max said with a short smile. That's the second thing he said thought our dinner.

"Welcome." my mom with her motherly smile and she left for the kitchen.

"We'll be leaving now," Kelvin said as he walked toward the door

"Sure," I said as I opened the door for them." Goodnight" Joan and Angela screamed

"Good night Addison." kelvin said with a smile as he left with his brother who didn't even look at us only at his phone. He is so rude, I don't like him!

"Wow, what a long day," I said after closing the door and turned to go have a shower in my room.

"What?" I asked Joan and Angela who just folded their arms angrily blocking me from entering my room.

"He didn't even reply to us," Angela said eyeing me.

How is that my business? was I holding his mouth?

"How should I know?" I asked confused and she angrily stormed to her room.

What's her problem?

"He replied to you who didn't even say Good night to him," Joan said.

"What's wrong with both of you? how should I know." I said as I pushed Joan away "You better start going home Joan, tomorrow is school. Beginning of the first semester!"

"I know, I brought my school uniform and bag. I'll sleepover," she said walking towards my room

"Wait, why?" I asked running toward her

"What's wrong with you and all these stupid questions. I'm sleeping here and we'll go to school together," she said angrily as she entered my room

"Ok, don't sleep on my bed," I shouted as I went to the kitchen to help my mom out.
