I stepped out of my mom's car and stretched. I looked around at my surroundings. We were in front of a pretty nice house with a medium size yard. Well I guess this was my new home. I took off my pink zebra sunglasses and placed them on top of head.

Arizona was hot. Hotter than California which is where I wish I was right now. My mom Valencia Martinez dropped a bomb and told me that we were moving to Arizona. She had a job offer and her friend Anne Walker from college said that the house next to hers was available.

Once again I noticed how hot it was out here. "Mom, am I going to have to dress like this all the time?" I asked gesturing to my jean shorts, grey tank top, sneakers, and bow shaped necklace. (Link to Outfit on my profile!)

She looked up from where she was dragging our million suitcases out of the trunk and laughed.

"Max it stays pretty hot but it will get cool in the winter don't worry."

My sister Ella hopped out of the car amd started screaming. "Mom! This house is soooo cool! OMG!" She ran up the front stairs and dissapeared into the house. I sighed and followed her.

I walked in to the front hall. My mom had been here the week before and set up all the stuff. It seemed so much bigger on the inside! That was the other thing about my moms job offer, she got a HUGE raise. She works really hard and deserves it. Ever since my dad died my mom has been raising us on her own.

I ran up the stairs straight into Ella's room. It was like a giant pink monster came in her room and threw up everywhere. (Room on profile)

"It's just how I wanted it!" She squealed in delight. I rolled my eyes at the thirteen year old and sauntered over to my room across the hall. I had trusted my mom with decorating my room. She knew I hated stuff that was too girly.

The room was huge! Bigger than Ella's. It had a medium sized bed with a blue and brown comforter with polka dots. The wall had polka dots and a brown couch with a coffee table and a T.V. My mom was the best! (room on profile)

I quickly grabbed some athletic shorts pulled them on and headed outside.

"Mom! I need to go running!" I called to her she nodded at me and continued to unpack things from the car.

I took off sprinting down the street. No use starting out slow, this was going to be a quick run. I loved to run. I don't know why. Maybe it's the fact that I can be alone when I run. It gives time to just stop and think. About five minutes later, I remembered that I had to go out to dinner with my mom's friend Anne and her kids.

This meant I had to hurry back and get ready.

I swung around and ended up running right into someone. "Uhg." I shouted in surprise. I looked up to see a tall guy with dark shaggy hair. He looked confused; I looked away quickly and kept running.

I made back to the house in record time. When I got there, my mom was standing by the curb with a bunch of people. I forced myself to smile and walked over.

"Hi honey! I want you to meet Anne and her family!" My mom said brightly. I knew that her tight smile meant that I had to be nice.

"Hi." I reached out and shook Anne's hand politely.

"Hi Max! It's so nice to see you! I haven't seen you since you were a baby." She smiled warmly at me. "These are my kids Angel, Nudge, Iggy, and Gazzy."

I looked to see a little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, an African-American girl with wild corkscrew hair, a tall kid with strawberry blonde hair and pale blue eyes, and a cute eight year old who looked just like the first little girl but with short hair.

"Oh and then there is Fang but he's not here right now. He'll meet us later." Anne added with a laugh.

I nodded, "So mom should Ella and I go get ready?"

"Yeah. We'll meet out here in a few minutes." She replied.

Ella grabbed my hand pulled me up the steps and into the house. "OMG Max! I am going to pick the perfect outfit for you!" She squealed. I sighed, there was no use fighting Ella when it came to clothes.

"Here." She threw some clothes on my bed. I reluctantly changed into a dress with a gold top and black puffy skirt on the bottom, along with lace tights, black suede high heel ankle boots with fringe and my bow shaped necklace. (outfit on profile)

I hated dresses. But I loved heels. I'm not too girly but heels are my weakness. I like to wear heels I think they show off how powerful I really am. So I didn't really mind the shoes.

"Max! Let's go!" Ella yelled. I walked out of my room to see Ella wearing a hot pink and black dress with black flats and a hot pink cheetah print necklace. (outfit on profile)

We went down stairs and met my mom at the front door.

"Oh sweetie you look so nice!" She exclaimed when she saw my outfit. I rolled my eyes at her. Okay so let's get this show on the road.

I put on a smile and prepared myself for the night to come.
