Hi guys. Now I know I'm supposed to be updating my other stories but hey I can't help myself :P This idea had actually come to me about two years ago after watching my favorite (it actually just came out at the time) Korean drama Age of Youth(or Hello, My Twenties as it's also called), which followed a similar premise. I re-watched reruns of the series recently and the idea came back. I thought it be interesting so I decided why not? Hope you like it.

DuBois Residence

Alarm Beeps*

Groans*

From underneath her covers, which completely covered her head, the young girl tiredly poked her hand out and tried to find her alarm and silence the piercing noise.

Alarm Beeping Continues

After a couple tries, she finally found the clock and hit the snooze button. She then sighed and simply turned on to her back, with the covers still covering her head. Just then a two year old Welsh Corgi with beautiful tan and white colored fur, eagerly entered the room. He jumped on to the bed and shimmied his way through an opening and began to happily lick his owner.

"Benji" She giggled as the dog continued to lick her nose. Realizing that he wouldn't stop she gave in "He-he, okay, okay. I'm up, I'm up"

She finally takes the covers off of her head and sat up. She yawned as she began to run her fingers through her very messy ginger colored afro. Then smiled at the eager looking dog that was still on her bed.

"Silly dog" She giggled as she scratched his head "Whelp, time to start another day"

She then reached her phone then began to look through it. After a minute her eyes widen and she appeared frantic.

"Crappy! I'm late!" She then quickly got out of bed then quickly ran out of her room with her loyal companion following right behind.

Eighteen year old Jazmine DuBois has never wanted for anything or really she had never truly been given the chance to. Since the day she was born, Jazmine has always been given and provided with everything her heart desired. This was due to her loving parents but mostly by her doting father. From the outside looking in, many would think she's spoiled. Others would simply call her a typical daddy's little girl. For Jazmine, she was just a good daughter who earned her riches because she worked for them.

Moments Later

After taking a shower, Jazmine had changed in to a white t-shirt that was covered by honey blush colored overalls and matching sneakers. After tying her somewhat frizzy looking hair in to a single ponytail, she made her way downstairs. Once there, she headed towards the kitchen where she was welcomed with smiles.

"Morning mommy, morning daddy" She said with a sweet happy smile

"Morning honey" Sarah said in a happy tone

"Morning princess" Tom said in the same tone

"I made your favorite, chocolate chip pancakes"

"Oooo!"Jazmine gushed

Sarah then got up and went to the counter. After fixing the stacks, she returned to the table and set the plate down in Jazmine's usual place. Jazmine then eagerly sat down and prepped herself for this wonderful meal.

"Thanks mom"

Sarah simply smiled then went back to her seat

"Jazmine...aren't those shorts a bit too short"

She rolled her eyes "Daddy...it's not that short"

"It's above the knee" He argued

"Only by three inches"

"Tom please...it's not that bad"

Tom simply sighed in defeat and just let it go. He then decided to change the subject

"So what do you have planned today sweetie?"

"Oh I'm gonna go help Huey move"

"Move? I didn't know the Freeman's were moving"

"They're not, Huey is. He's moving in to his own apartment"

Tom then spit out his sip of coffee which took Jazmine and Sarah off guard

"His own apartment?! Why am I finding out about this now?!" He said in a mixture of shock and anger

"Daddy..."

"And you're going over there?! Absolutely not!"

"Daddy, I told you about this last week!" Jazmine argued

"No you didn't"

"Yes she did Tom" All eyes then fell on Sarah "She told us both. Remember? She came and told us while you were watching the game."

"The...oh...oh, well what do you know you did" He then laughed in an embarrassment

"Daddy, just so you know I'm not going there by myself. Everyone's going. We're all just going to help move his stuff."

"Oh thank God" Tom sighed of relief while both Sarah and Jazmine roll their eyes

"Really dad?"

"I'm sorry sweetheart but you can never be too careful"

"Dad, these are my friends I grew up with them. Plus I'm eighteen now, I'm old enough to protect myself"

Tom then held up his hands in defeat

"I know...I'm sorry. I'm just looking out for my little girl"

"I know daddy" She sighed

Jazmine loved her father, no question about it. However, the man just couldn't let go. If only he could just let her grow up.

Freeman Residence

Inhales Sharply then Sighs*

For seventeen year old Cindy McPhearson, things have never been easy. Due to her pure tomboyish nature, she was often labeled an outcast by most girls. However due to her gender, it was always a hit or miss with the boys. To add insult to injury, she was NOT your typical blue eyed blonde. She was aggressive, loud, short tempered and possibly one of the toughest girls you'll ever meet. Though don't let all of that fool you. Cindy was not as hard as she seemed. Sure she was threatening but there was more layers to her then she would let on. Underneath her tough exterior, was a very kind hearted girl. Not to mention a smart girl. She was always getting good grades in school. Not as high as her best friends but still high enough to gain some acknowledgment. She was very adventurous, a great friend and had a big heart. Especially for the ones closest to her. However, there was one particular person in Cindy's life that received the most amount of love.

She continued to squirm, causing her bedmate to wake up. He then turned and yawned very loudly. Cindy then in turn replicated his actions.

"Mornin'." He said groggily with a smile

"Morning." She said in the tone "Ugh..." She slightly cringed for a second

"What?"

"Morning breath. Reezy, your breath stinks"

Chuckles "Fuck you. Besides, yours stinks too. So..." Riley then continuously blew directly in to Cindy's face causing her to laugh

"Eww...Reezy" She said in between laughter as she turned to the opposite side "You so stupid" She said still laughing

He laughed then moved in closer and hugged the girl then the two continued to giggle uncontrollably.

Riley Freeman or Young Reezy, one of the numerous nicknames he went by was a childhood friend. His personality was quite similar to Cindy's. In fact many adults (or really his Grandfather) would go so far as to say that Riley was a public menace. But Cindy of course, saw different. The two had met at ages ten and eight respectively on the basketball court when they were playing on opposing teams. Upon first meeting, the two hated each other. Not long after that, the relationship evolved into a friendly rivalry. That rivalry soon became a good friendship and the two had only gotten closer. So close that they eventually gained a crush on one another. Though, due to their tough exteriors neither was willing to admit it. However...sometimes in life, there certain things that you can't control. Eventually, the two decided to fool around for a couple years. You know, just for fun. Then at ages of fourteen and fifteen, Cindy McPhearson and Riley Freeman had officially became exclusive. They had been going strong for three years now and showed no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Especially since Cindy had just graduated.

The two had calmed down and simply just took it easy.

Sighs* "Well, maybe we should get up now"

"Whhhyyy?" He whined "Can't we just stay in bed and chill and uh..." He kissed her neck "Do a little somethin', somethin'." He then squeezed her

She then turned on to her back and arched a brow

"Somethin', somethin?" She scoffs "You think you slick"

"Hey, can't blame a nigga for tryin'."

She laughed and shook her head. They then began to kiss which quickly became steamy.

Knock Knock "Riley?" A male voice suddenly said

The pair separate and look towards the door

Knock Knock "Riley?" The voice said with slight irritation

Cindy gasped as both she and Riley quickly sat up and became frantic

"Shit!" Riley whispered nervously

"Riley?!" The door knob began to rapidly moved but the door didn't open "Boy, why is this door locked?!" Knock Knock "Boy! Open the door!"

"Uh...just a second Grandad!"

The two then literally fell out of bed and scrambled to get themselves together

"Shit! I can't believe this" She whispered as she covered herself

She then started to quickly look around and tried to find her clothes

"Yo my Grandad's gonna kill me if he finds you in here" Riley said as he struggled to get his boxer shorts on

Cindy manages to find one of Riley's baggy shirts and quickly puts it on. Then she looks for her things and began to gather them.

"BOY!" Mr. Freeman yelled as he rustled with the door knob

"HOLD ON GRANDAD!"

The pair mouthed to each other trying to figure out what to do. Riley then signaled Cindy to hide in the closet while he took out one of his jeans.

"You know Grandad, I just got out of bed and...and I gotta get this sleep out of my eyes" He yelled as he put his pants

"Well hurry the hell up so you can open the damn door!"

Cindy then grabbed her stuff and started running but ended up hurting her foot against the bed railing. Before she good scream in pain, Riley quickly rushes over to her and covers her mouth. She screamed in to his hand.

"BOY!"

"HOLD UP A SEC!" Cindy nodded and Riley then took his hand away.

"If I here that one more time!" He warned

She then rushes toward the closet. However once opening it, all of its contents fall on top of her, including a basketball

"Ow!" She yelled out before quickly covering her mouth

"Boy! If you don't open this door in the next ten seconds I'mma bust it down then put my foot up your ass for wasting my time, Ten..."

"He ain't playin' too" He whispered

"Nine..."

The two met up again and appear very frantic as they realize their cover is blown

"Eight..."

Riley then looked down and got an idea. He immediately pointed and signaled Cindy about the bed. Cindy initially refuses.

"Seven..."

After going back and forth at mouthing their words, Cindy finally gives in. She quickly places her clothes behind the pillow while Riley then quickly jumps over his bed. Only for him to land flat on his face upon landing. He quickly got up and buttoned his pants. He took a quick glance to see if Cindy was out of sight. Cindy had gone underneath his bed but quickly grabbed her sneakers and pulled them in with her.

"Six..."

Riley then took a breath

"FIVE...FOUR..."

Riley quickly unlocked then opened the door. An annoyed looking Mr. Freeman was wearing a maroon and white colored track suit and white sneakers.

"H-h-hey Grandad, w-what's up?"

The elderly looking man angrily pushed passed the boy

"What's up? Boy I should be beating your ass for keeping me out there so long. What the hell were you doing anyway?"

"Uh...nothin'."

"Nothing huh?" He said as he walked around. Riley tailed right behind him "Then why'd you keep me out there so long?"

"Uh...well..."

"Uh...well" He mocked

"I-I was naked Grandad. Yeah, I-I-I was naked and I needed to put on some clothes"

"Mm-hm"

The elderly man continued to scan the room while his anxiously looking grandson continued to follow suit.

"Soo, Grandad what brings you by?"

"This is my house that I pay for and I can come and go as I please" He continued to look around the room "Funny, I thought I heard another voice in here"

"Uh...Grandad that's stupid. I mean you probably just hearing things"

"Hmph, maybe. Anyway you need to get up and get ready so you can help your brother."

"With what?" He asked in annoyance

"Boy don't you remember, you supposed to be helping him move."

"Oh you right, I forgot that nigga got his own place"

"Boy watch your mouth!" Riley cringed in fear for a second then went back to his usual expression "Well boy...I can see everything's fine here so I'mma go but hurry up, your brother's waiting."

"Alright Grandad. Well it was nice of you to check up on me so I'll see you downstairs in a minute alright." He said as he pushed his grandad towards the door but his grandfather stopped midway

"Whoa, whoa boy. Are you tryin' to get rid of me?"

"No...Why would you think that?"

"Well-" Before he could finish his sentence, a muffled sneeze is heard "What was that?" He asked curiously as he started looking around again.

"What? I didn't hear anything" He lied

Robert made his way towards the bed and began to scan the room again. Riley in turned followed him and tried to get him to move away. But before he could, Cindy sneezes again catching both Riley and Mr. Freeman's attention.

"Wha-"

"Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Aw Grandad, I cannot stop sneezing. Ah-choo! It's been happenin' all morning. I think it's my allergies or I think somethin's messin with my sinuses"

Scoffs "Well if your ass actually cleaned your room like I told you to, maybe your sinuses wouldn't be messed with"

"Noted"

"Well boy clean yourself up and get downstairs already" He then started to leave

"I'm on it Grandad"

He made it to the doorway then turned around

"Don't make me comeback to get you" He warned

"I won't Grandad, I'll be down in a minute"

Mr. Freeman stared at Riley for a minute then grumbled in annoyance and closed the door behind him. Riley then sighed of relief and leaned back on his door. Cindy then sneezed again snapping Riley out of his thoughts. Once Riley opened his eyes, he saw Cindy kneeling on the floor while rubbing her nose.

"Damn nigga...when was last time you cleaned under here?" She irritably asked as she got up

"I don't know? Last Thursday" He shrugged

Scoffs "Right...Well if you actually need a hidin' place, your ass is actually gonna have to clean up around here"

"Fuck that, we need a good exit so we can get your ass out of here before my Granddad finds out"

"Agreed"

After taking a moment to put on her pants, Cindy and Riley then headed out towards the door. Riley opens the door and looked up and down the hall to check for any family members. When it was completely clear, he signaled Cindy to come out. With Cindy leading the way, the pair quickly but quietly walked down the stairs.

"We headin' out the front?" She whispered

"Hell no, McHater could be out there. We gonna head out the back" He whispered back

Riley referred to the backdoor that was in the living room. The pair quickly went towards the door and began to smile as they realized that their plan was actually gonna work.

"Now we just gotta get you out the door before-MISS RUBY!" Riley quickly pushed Cindy's head down as he looked at the elderly woman. Who was in the kitchen wearing a blue robe and gave a skeptical expression as she looked at the nervous boy.

"Heeeeyyyy Miss Ruby"

"Hey baby" She said in a happy tone

"I-I thought you went jogging"

"I was...but then I figured since we're helpin' your brother move I'mma get all the exercise I'll need for the day. But I still needed my protein shake" She then started pouring her oats in the blender

Riley still had his hand on Cindy's head which was not sitting very well with her at all. Knowing that their cover could be blown, Riley thinks fast.

"Uh...so...you sure you got everything you need in there?"

"Yeah"

"Got the powder?"

"Yup"

"Uh protein?"

"Yeah..." She said suspiciously

"Oats"

"Nigga you just saw me put it in" She said irritably

"Oh yeah..."

Cindy then began to struggle to keep her balance, signaling Riley to find a way to distract the elderly woman, who was prepping to blend.

"So you gonna blend it?"

"Yeah" She said more irritably

"Right now?"

"Yeah cause I'm gonna drink it right now. Boy what is wrong with you?"

"What'chu mean?" He asked innocently

"What do I mean? I mean you actin' all nervous and weird and you askin' me all these stupid questions. What is it? What's the matter with you?"

"Uh..."

"You constipated again?"

"No!"

"Boy...did you wet the bed again?"

Cindy quickly covered her mouth and quietly chuckled at the thought of Riley wetting the bed at his age.

"No...I didn't. I don't do that no more" He said irritably while clenching his teeth

"Then what's wrong with you then?!"

"Nothin', I'm just tryin' to make conversation."

"Yeah well, you suck at that." She then back to her business

"You sure you got everything in there?"

"Yes Riley, I do" She said irritably

"You got orange juice in there?"

"Orange juice? In a protein shake?"

"Yeah. I mean how you gonna make a shake with no vitamin C. How you gonna bring up your immunity?"

"You right" She then went over to the fridge

At that moment Riley tapped Cindy on the shoulder and she darted towards the door. Then quickly leaves the Freeman household.

Ruby who had heard the door close looked around

"Did you hear something?" She asked curiously

"Nope" Riley said confidently "So what we got to eat?"

Outside in the Freeman house, Cindy takes a breath and shakes her head. Then she drops her shoes on the ground then started to tiredly put them on.

They say love makes people do crazy, stupid things. But one has to wonder, is it really worth all this foolishness? Plus, where do you draw the line?

Somewhere in the heart of Woodcrest

Alarm Beeps*

Groans*

The messy haired redhead tiredly reaches for the loud clock. She pressed then snooze button then turned on to her back and stared at the ceiling.

Monica Radclife is one of the newest faces in Woodcrest. Originally from Georgia, Monica would occasion visit to come see her older sister Melissa who was attending school there. During her visits, she had made many new friends and had fallen in love with the new atmosphere. Much like her sister had. At the age of twelve and after much convincing, her parents had allowed her to move to Woodcrest and live with her sister and their aunt. Where she was able to go to school and be with her friends every day. As opposed to every few months or during holidays like she had originally. When her sister had turned twenty one, she had moved out of their aunt's house and gotten a place of her own. Since their parents were unable to move to Woodcrest due to their jobs, Melissa was permitted to become Monica's legal guardian. The two sisters had been living with each other ever since.

Monica tiredly sighed then begrudgingly got out of bed.

Monica and Melissa were very close. Despite there being a five year difference, the two would often would act like best friends. They hardly ever fought except for those special occasions where their personalities would make one wonder who was older. If you asked those closest to them, they would all confirm. That Monica and Melissa had a perfect relationship. Too perfect.

After cleaning herself up, Monica headed out to the kitchen where Melissa was messing around with the stove.

"Morning big red" She said in a happy tone

"Morning little red" Melissa said in the same tone

"Oooo, what smells so good?"

"Breakfast, I made all your favorites. So take a seat"

She just as her sister said and happily took a seat. Melissa then provided her with a plate filled with a stack of waffles

"Mmm...Blueberry waffles, smoked bacon, buttermilk biscuits with the honey glaze. This is definitely too good to be true" She said with a huge grin "It's not my birthday and it's not a holiday. So what's the occasion?"

"Oh, y'know...It's just a what the heck kinda thing"

"Oh...Alrighty" Monica then began to make her own plate

Melissa had taken the seat next to her and replicated her actions. However for some reason she looked apprehensive.

"Mmm...You definitely did a great job with this sis" She said with a smile

"Thanks. I'm glad you like it"

Monica simply smiled then went back to eating. Melissa quietly sighs and starts to eat her own breakfast. After some time went by, the sisters ate in silence. Monica had been happily enjoying her meal but Melissa hardly had touched hers. In fact, her eyes were constantly on Monica. Sensing her sister's glare, Monica looked up causing her sister to quickly look down.

"What?" She asked curiously

"What?" Melissa asked innocently

"Missy, you've been staring at me for fifteen minutes now."

"Uh...Have I? I didn't really notice."

"Okay, what's going on?"

"Nothing..." She said nervously

Monica crosses her arms "Melissa" She said firmly

Melissa sighs in defeat then finally looks up at her sister

"Okay...I'll tell you."

Monica then leaned in and listened closely

"It's about me and Alan."

"Your boyfriend? What about him?" Gasps* "Did you guys break up?"

"No, no, quite the opposite. We...we're...actually taking the next step."

"Next step? Oh My Gosh! Are you two engaged?!"

"No, not that"

"Oh..." She said in disappointment. Her expression then quickly changed to suspicious "Are you..." She then gestured to her stomach

"NO! Oh gosh no, no!"

"Then what is it then?" She asked in frustration

"Well...Alan and I decided to move in together"

Monica simply arched a brow

"Is that all? Missy that's great" She said with a smile. Then something had occurred to her "Soo...Alan's moving in?"

"No...I'm moving out" Monica then got a quizzical look "I'm moving in with him"

"But what about me? What about the apartment?"

"Well..."

GASPS "Wait a minute. Don't tell me." She then got a huge smile on her face "You're leaving me this apartment" She said with excitement

"Uh..."

"OH MISSY!" Monica then tightly squeezed her sister then started jumping up and down "This is the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me!"

"Mo?"

"This is unbelievable! My own apartment, my own place, my own space! This is a dream come true!"

"Monica..."

"Gosh this is all so sudden"

"Monica!"

"I don't even know where to start..."

"Monica!" Melissa then stood up

"I could-"

"MONICA!" She screamed as she shook her sister

Monica stopped rambling and looked at her sister in surprise

Sighs* "You're not getting the apartment."

"What?" She asked in confusion

"You're not getting the apartment. I...I didn't renew the lease."

Monica then appeared more confused

"Soo...you're giving this apartment up completely"

"Yeah" She nodded

"But what about me? Where am I gonna live?"

Melissa then walked away from her sister and started cleaning up the table

"Melissa, where will I be living?" She said firmly

"...with Aunt Kathy" She mumbled

Monica's eyes widened "AUNT KATHY?! YOUR SHIPPING ME BACK TO LIVE WITH AUNT KATHY?!"

"I...I...wouldn't call it shipping. I'd call it...well just moving back in. He-he" She said with a nervous smile

Monica simply scowled deeply while Melissa avoided her glare by bring the dishes to the sink. Monica then followed her.

"I can't believe you'd do this to me!"

"Look, what's the big deal? It's just Aunt Kathy. You love Aunt Kathy"

"Melissa, Aunt Kathy maybe cool but she's still an old soul. She's still gonna be on my back like...like a parent."

"What's so bad about that?"

"Missy I am eighteen! I'm not a little kid anymore. I don't need an adult watching over every little thing I do when I'm old enough and mature enough to do it myself"

"Don't you think your overreacting?"

"No I'm not. Missy when I moved in with you, I felt like I was getting a sense of some independence. Now at my age, I deserve to have complete independence. I'm old enough to vote, I'm old enough to get married and I'm definitely old enough to have my own space."

"I'm sorry sis, but I already talked to the landlord. It's already been done. There's nothing I can do" She simply shrugged

Monica then sighs tiredly

"Fine. Then...then I'll just go get a place of my own place. When are you moving in with Alan?"

"...This weekend"

"WHAT?!"

Melissa then laughs nervously and shrugs

"Melissa how in the world am I supposed to find a place by this weekend?! What were you even thinking?!"

"Well...see...I-I wasn't...I mean it all just happened so fast and I...I didn't really have time to really process it. Cause we figured, why wait. Y'know? He-he...he-he..." Melissa continued to chuckle nervously but stopped when Monica's scowl deepened.

"So that's what all this was about. The breakfast, the overly nice act. All of that was just to soften me up just so you can evict me."

"I'm not evicting you!" Melissa argued

"Your right, your kicking me out"

"No! I...I...oh...Monica I'm so sorry."

"Well...I need to get ready cause my friends are waiting for me. However, before I go I would like to say this. Thank you Melissa. Thank you for screwing me over and ruining my life. Thank you, thank you soo much" Monica then angrily storms off

"Monica! Monica wait!" Melissa chases after her

What'd you guys think? Not a bad beginning right? Let me know what you guys think in the reviews and I'll see you next time.

Thanks for Reading :) xoxo
