The next day at school , Maria and Maddie carefully opened the front door and walked in .
" I can't believe we got away with it " Maria commented . She lifted her wrist slowly and glanced at her new watch .
Maddie laughed . " its just like a few years " Maria gave her a confused look . " remember when I wanted to be a professional sleuth . " .
Maria giggled a bit . " duh , why did mom and dad make you stop , that sleuthing comes in handy when sneaking in after curfew " .
Maddie's eyes fell to the floor . She never really stopped sleuthing , the whole alien's in your school thing was evidence of that . " because I got carried away , you know , with the thinking that our neighbors nephew was a vampire , a kid at camp was a werewolf , my teacher's a zombie ," .
" that last one was the most believable " Maria said . The younger sister shook her head .
" they told me to grow up and think logically " maddie said . From the corner of her eyes she saw Seth and Sara walk through the door. " nothing is that logical " . she turned to Maria " bye sis " she dashed for the staircase.
How in the world was she suppose to face them after last night . She promised them dozens of times on the ride back home that she would think about it . When in fact she hadn't thought about it once . Hopefully , her friends will occupy her enough to avoid the aliens .
" hey guys " she smiled approaching them. Jean and Ashley lifted up their heads . Their faces were covered with tears .
" what's wrong " she asked.
Jean hugged Maddie " we're moving to Tallahassee " . Maddie pulled back .
" but that's in Florida " she yelled shocked.
" we know " Ashley said . " we're leaving tonight , after school " .
Maddie shook her head . " and you wait till now to tell me this , some best friends you are " .
" we didn't find out till last night , we wanted to tell you but you weren't home " Jean told her . Her two sad friends walked away crying to their lockers on the other side of the school . Maddie turned to riley , her last friend .
" on the plus side , I'm getting a baby sister , they are naming her Maciee " he said . Maddie's shoulder's slumped . " and my uncle Henry's wants to spend more time with me " .
Now she had zip friends except for riley , and he would be too busy with his new favorite uncle .
" this sucks " she whispered . She slowly walked back to her locker to find none other than ,
guess who A. the president of the united states . B. Taylor Lautner or C. the two Aliens who since they've shown up , her entire life's burst into flames .
If you've picked C. , congratulations you are right !
I wish it was Taylor lautner she thought to herself .
" who is Taylor Lautner " Sara asked walking up to her .
" I accidentally told you my thought didn't I " Maddie asked . Sara nodded her head. " Taylor lautner is an actor who plays Jacob in the Twilight Saga " . she unzipped her backpack and showed pulled out the book Eclipse . She dropped the book back into her back pack.
" and you probably already read enough thoughts to know how popular Twilight is " Maddie went straight to her locker , with Sara right behind her . She jerked it opened getting the books she needed for the day .
" you seem tense " Sara noted. Maddie spun around .
" of course I'm tense " she snapped . " my life is a Wreck !" after realizing what she had just said , she calmed down a bit , still slightly shaking . " I'm so sorry , Sara , for yelling . But my two best friends who I've known for years are moving to Tallahasse tonight . And my other best friend, even though he's a complete nerd , will be spending all his free time with his uncle . " she closed her locker . " I have no one , Sara " .
Sara's face formed a grin . " I'm your friend " Sara told her . " and we can be best friends " . maddie smiled.
" thank you , Sara " she said . " you're defiantly a great friend " . the two girls , hardly noticed Seth walk up to them .
" what is your answer " Seth asked. Maddie blinked. She had completely forgotten about that .
" I told you I need time to think about it " she said . Seth looked down the hallway , where riley was .
" you're friend with him ? " Seth asked a little agitated . " do you not know who is his uncle ? " .
Seth pushed both girls to a spot in the hallway where no one could hear them talk .
" his uncle , Henry Burke , tried to dissect both me and my sister " Seth explained. He turned to Sara " we should not go near him " . Maddie scoffed.
" oh please " maddie said . " Riley is not dangerous at all , and you kind of won't ever get the chance to go near him because he'll be spending all his time with his uncle anyway " after the words escaped her mouth she realized what she had said.
" which is why none of us should go near him " Seth stated. His eyes were glaring , again.
He gets easily agitated with people . maddie thought . this should be fun …
" you go ahead and not go anywhere near him ." maddie said to him . " and while you're at it , avoid all humans , why because you think they're all out to get you ! " she spun around and began walking straight for her next class.
Sara giggled to herself , walking down the hallway with her annoyed brother .
Not funny , Sara , he thought .
Maddie and Maria walked into their living room , after school that day .
" I wonder what's so Important that we had to rush home " Maria groaned. Maddie stared at her sister . Her parents had called with complete urgency and here her older sis was complaining just because she can't show up some snob in the Auditions in the upcoming school play .
" if I lose to that ragweed , I'm done " Maria went hysterical .
Maddie shook her head. " calm down , Maria , I'm sure Mr. Vanmeter will let you audition later "
Maria scoffed. " you don't understand , if I'm not there I won't be able to see what my competition does , and if I don't see how my competition is , there is no chance I can top them , with out sheer dumb luck " .
" or great talent " Maddie added. " which in your case , I'd go with the dumb luck " .
" ha ha ha " Maria said sarcastically . Their parents walked in on that minute .
" girls " their dad said . " your mother and I are going on a two week cruise in two days " . the sister fell onto the couch .
" have fun " Maria said.
" bon voyage " Maddie cheered . The girls high fived.
" and Mrs . Anders will be more than happy to watch you while we're gone " their mother put in .
Both girls stood up . " what ?" they exclaimed .
" mom , I'm sixteen " Maria shouted . " am I not old enough to watch myself and my little sister . " .
Maddie nodded her head . " I'm fifteen , barely ten months younger than Maria , we're almost pratically adults " .
Their parents Laughed. " yes you're almost adults but you two still act like seven year olds " . their mom s aid .
" do not " they both shouted.
Their parents still laughed. " see " their dad said . " I bet the second we left the two of you alone , one of you would throw the biggest party of the year " .
" not to mention , how much you two would fight " their mother added. " its settled , Mrs Anders will be coming over , " . their mother bit her lip , the same way maddie does when she thinks .
" oh and her nephew will be visiting her as well " their dad said . " and unlike three years ago , do not accuse him of being a vampire " . their parents got up and left into the other room .
" but he is a vampire " maddie whispered once her parents had left .
Two days later …
The two sisters were up bright and early , the day their parents were going on a two week cruise . Maria had auditioned a day later than everyone else , she got a good role , not the one she wanted but still a good one . Maddie was trying to cope with the fact her two best friends are now in florida .
Little did either of them know that during those next few weeks , both of their lives were going to change drastically .
