Strange Deception Chapter 2
"What?" Hunter asked noticing the strange look they were giving him.
"It's nothing." said Maddie.
"So who are you?" Hunter asked Maddie.
"Maddie, I work at the candy counter obviously." she replied.
"Guess what?" came London's voice as she got off the elevator and ran over to the candy counter.
"What?" Maddie asked not so enthusiastic.
"Daddy got me this gold necklace for mothers day!" said London.
"Why did you get something for mothers day?" Zack asked.
"She gets something for everyday." said Maddie.
"Good point!" said Zack.
"You don't get stuff for mothers day?" she asked.
"No, its the day your supposed to get something for your mother." said Maddie.
"Oh, well I go shopping with mother every mothers day." said London.
"Yeah, but then you come back with bags of clothes for you." said Cody.
"So." said London confused.
"At least your spending time with your mother." said Maddie.
"So who's this kid." said London. "Just noticing Hunter.
"This is Hunter. He's staying at the hotel." said Zack.
"Well, I'm off to Paris with Mommy!" said London clearly not interested in the new boy. "I'll be back tonight."
"Great!" said Maddie with little enthusiasm as London walked off to her limo. "And we can all sit here and get on with out mediocre lives."
"So what are you doing for your mother Maddie?" Cody asked.
"I am actually doing nothing!" she said. "She decided that instead of spending time with her kids on Mothers day, that she would on a trip to Italy with dad. Not that she wanted to invite us along."
"How can your mother afford that?" Cody asked.
"Apparently she had been saving for this trip for a while, she just never told anyone." said Maddie. "She decided that this would be the perfect time to take her trip with dad alone."
"So what are you going to do then?" Zack asked.
"I don't know!" said Maddie.
"You could come hang out with us." said Hunter.
"What?" Maddie said. "I know Zack and Cody already have plans, but don't you?"
"Not really!" said Hunter. "Mom just likes to take these trips to make it look like we are together, but we never actually spend that much time together. Besides, Zack and Cody are showing me around, and I would like to get to know some other people. We never actually stay in one place for very long, and I'm kind of tired of just sitting around and doing nothing."
"Well, its not like I have anything better to do." she said.
