Ring ring..

"Hello?" She asked,

"Oh, hi David," Maddie sighed unpleasently,

"Um, not to be rude or anything, but how do you know my number?"

"London.." She growled in the phone.

"Oh nono, David its ok, It's not a bad time," She said,

"Y-Yeah..I'm looking forward to the ball too.." She sighed, She hung up the phone after the conversation.

"Who was that?" Cody asked, Maddie immediantly turned around form Codys voice,

"Oh no one, Just the wrong number," She lied, Cody nodded, "So you wanna watch a movie or something?" He asked, Maddie shook her head,

"But don't you think you should get some rest? You got school in the morning," She confirmed, Cody tucked himself in,

"Guess so.."
Maddie looked in her hands and started figgling with her fingers, "You want me to read you a bed time story?" She asked,

Cody chuckled, "That's okay Maddie, I'm 13, I think i'll be fine," He said smiling, and turned the other way and covered his face up with his pillow,

Maddie frowned, not in anger, but in sadness. she wasn't looking forward to this dance...Not a bit, she never really had interest in this guy, but she knows her guy isn't far away. she just has to look harder, she has a hunch..

.morning...

Cody slumped down to the table rubbing his eyes roughly.

"Morning Cody," She greeted, and threw him a plate of pancakes, Cody looked at his cake,

"Hey Cody, I gotta go visit my sister, she needs help unpacking, mind coming with me? She could use all the help," She asked,

"Your sister?...Yeah sure, I'de like to visit the amazing sister of Maddie Fitzpatrick." He joked, Maddie rolled her eyes,

"Yeah well lemme inform you on something...My sister isn't the kinda person you walk up to and give hugs to, she's well...kinda...Um."

"Mean?" He asked,

"Yeah," Maddie laughed, and sat next to him,

"Hey Maddie, who watches you? Don't you have someone to talk to around here?" He asked,

Maddie started playing around with her fork,

"Well...Not really, My mom and dad never really see each other so they're always out doing whatever just to get away form each other,"

Cody frowned, "Kinda depressing isn't it..?" He asked,

Maddie shook her head,

"Not all the time, I do have friends coming over sometimes, and most of the time im not home, I'm either at school or visiting my grandmother on the weekends. She doesn't have much life in her left.." She said raising her eye browes.

Cody was silent tell breakfast was over,

"So ya ready to go?" She asked getting her coat,

He got up and threw on his, "Yep,"

?
Maddie and Cody walked up to an old appartment,
"This is it?" Cody asked, He looked around the pink appartment, trash was everywhere, nearly in the driveway, Maddie and Cody walked to the door, She knocked.

And waited... The door finally opened but what looks to be the evil step sister.

"Hey sis.." Maddie said nervously,

"Hey," She said in a raspy voice, her sister looked like a street bad girl..She had the jacket and the peircing,

"Wow.." Cody said, Maddie shushed,

"Um, Karen, This is my friend Cody." She said pushing him in front of her, Cody took a step back,

"Sup.." She said smiling, Cody smiled, but in a nervouse way, normaly he wouldn't hang out with these kinda women,

"You guys gonna come help me?" She asked, they nodded and walked in, Cody took a good look at her house, he has never seen so many leather jackets..?

"As usuall sis your the pack rat.." She said straight up,

"And as usuall your miss goody goody," She said, they began looking at each other eye to eye growling,
Cody stepped in,

"Okay guys, lets get this unpacking thing done," He said, they both gave a huff and went their seperate direction in the room and started unpacking,

Cody shrugged and went the other way in the back..
