Wanderlust

Chapter 5

2 days after my revenge I was finally able to talk again. I ran up to my friends.
"Have you heard One Direction's new song!!!!!?????" I asked them excitedly.
"Omg yes!! It's amazing!!" Elliette said.
"I love it so much!!" Maya said.
"They sound so much better without Zayn." I said. We continued to obsess over Drag Me Down when I was tapped on the shoulder. I spun around and saw Jace and the boys. I grinned.
"Hey guys." I said. They all glared at me.
"What?" I asked.
"We know it was you." Jace said.
"Excuse me?" I asked.
"Drop the act Riley!" Jaxon growled.
"We know you were the one who put something in our boxers." Jace said.
"Hey you wanted me to react and I did." I said.
"Yeah to me and only me. Jaxon and James did nothing to you." Jace said.
"You're mad at me?" I asked quietly.
"I have no reason to be mad because I started this." He said. Then Jaxon pushed him aside.
"James and I are pissed at you! We didn't do anything to you Riley but you still let Maya involve us in your revenge." Jaxon snapped.
"I'm sorry." I apologized.
"Well sorry isn't gonna change what you did. We are gonna get you back. All 3 of you." Jaxon threatened and walked off. I looked at James. James just shook his head at us and left. I spun around to face Maya.
"This is why I didn't want to get involved in the first place!" I admitted angrily.
"Now Jaxon and James hate me! I shouldn't of even listened to you." I said.
"Riley-"
"No don't try to say anything!" I snapped. I slammed my locker shut and ran down the hall.
"Riley!" I heard Jace call my name repeatedly. I ignored him but he caught up to me.
"Hey Riley it's okay." Jace cooed wrapping me up in a hug.
"No it's not. I just wanna forget what happened today." I said.
"Ok. There's a party tonight at my house.  If you come I promise you'll forget everything that happened today." He said.
"Ok. What time does it start?" I asked.
"8:00" he answered.
"Okay I'll be there."
"Great." He grinned. Then we walked to theatre class.

Maya and El were walking home with me. El decided it would be better for us to get ready together plus Maya and I would be forced to talk because we both hate awkward silences. Maya was the first to break the silence.
"Riley why did you agree to go to this party?" Maya asked.
"What do you mean why?" I asked.
"I've agreed to go to other parties before." I pointed out.
"Not parties that boys invited you to." Maya said.
"So why now?" She asked.
"I said yes to Jace because I just wanna forget about what happened today. I wanna forget about Jaxon and James being pissed at me and I want to forget about our fight." I admitted.
"WOAH WAIT A SECOND!!!!!!" El blurted.
"Are you saying that you actually care about boys being pissed at you?" El asked.
"What!? NO!" I said.
"I just don't like having people being pissed at me." I explained. Maya and El stared at me.
"Stop staring at me. It's creepy." I said. Maya rolled her eyes.
"Look we have 3 hours to get ready for this party so can we just get started?" I pleaded. El sighed.
"Only if Maya and you will make up." She said. I turned to Maya.
"Maya I'm sorry for yelling at you and blaming everything on you. I am just as guilty as you are. I shouldn't have let you plan the revenge." I apologized.
"I'm sorry too. I should have respected your decision to not strike back and I shouldn't of involved Jaxon and James in the revenge." Maya apologized.
"Now hug!!!" El commanded. I wrapped my arms around Maya and we hugged.
"I wanna join!" El announced and threw her arms around the both of us.
After a while we separated.
"Now let's get started!"

When we arrived at Jace's house the party was already in full swing. I knocked on the door and Jace answered. 

"Hey you actually came." Jace said surprised.

 "I said I would" I said. 

"I know I just thought you'd change your mind." he admitted. His eyes flicked behind me noticing El and Maya. 

"So I'm guessing you made up with Maya." he stated.
