Chapter 1
*Maddie's POV*
Liv can't help but drive me crazy. Ever since that night, two months ago, I've been angry with her. Mom has told us not to talk if it's just going to end up in an argument, and this is coming from a former guidance councillor. I wish Liv and I got along better. It's just that she doesn't think about things the way I do.
Liv is just a bubbly 17 year old girl. She doesn't think things over and screams "O-M-Wowza!". The way she acts sometimes makes her sound really stupid. Like one of those 'dumb blondes' on TV shows. I know Liv isn't stupid, but it's just the way she acts makes her sound that way. Aaahhuughh! I wish she would just GET me! You know, we got along way better before 'Sing it Loud' happened. I really don't think I'm talking to Liv Rooney anymore. I think the person I talk to nowadays is Stephanie Einstein and not my sister at all.
*Liv's POV*
I wish Mads were more like me. She doesn't have good fashion sense, all she talks about is sports, she hates the MALL! I could go on forever. I bet, if I was in Maddie's head, all I'd hear would be "Sports! Basketball! Sports!" Blah, blah, BLAH!
The worst part about Maddie, is the fact that she has no taste in romance. I mean, I'm all over anything to do with anything romantic. My taste in a date is a romantic dinner followed by a romance movie. Every time I bring anything like that up, Maddie gags. I don't know if it's real or exaggerated, but all I know is that Maddie's too over the top. Maddie's idea of a perfect date is basically basketball, basketball and more basketball. Her dates go something like, play basketball all day, eat cheeseburgers from a fast food place and then watch a basketball game on TV. I mean, talk about not romantic! Oh, and really, what's not romantic about sleeping with your boyfriend?
*Maddie's POV*
Since Liv and I aren't exactly on speaking terms, when I went to visit Diggie it was like relief washed over me. It felt like heaven to get away from my feud with Liv.
Now, November is what I call the most boring month ever. It's right smack dab in the middle of two exciting months, October and December. You know, with Halloween in October and Christmas in December. So for an entire month between Screamfest and the Stevens Point tree-lighting ceremony, there's just boring, boring and more boring. Although, this November wasn't that boring.
I went to visit Diggie for the first time since late September. I didn't see him at all during October with basketball practice and games. Not to mention that I was on the commitee that plans Screamfest. So, I was busy all October and now it's almost halfway through November and I finally get to see him.
I got to Diggie's apartment at 10:15. Diggie had given me the spare key, so I lay on his couch as soon as I got in. I think he may have been in the bathroom because I couldn't see him anywhere and the bathroom door was closed. When he got out of the bathroom, he seemed surprised to see me there.
"Hey," I casually said.
"Hey, Maddie. When'd you get here?" Diggie asked.
"About two minutes ago," I told him.
"Long time no see," he remarked.
"Yeah," I agreed, standing up and quickly kissing him on the lips. He grinned at me.
"You look tired," he told me.
"I am," I admitted. "Tiring trip in."
"You have anything to eat on the train?" he asked.
"Yeah," I replied. "Wasn't very good though."
"You hungry?" he asked, walking out to the kitchen.
"Yeah, I guess," I replied. Diggie threw me a bag of chips from the cupboard above the sink. "Thanks."
"No problem," he said, as I caught the chips and we walked back out to the family room.
