Riley pov

"I don't wanna live forever cause I'll be living in vain!" I sang while finishing getting ready and waiting for my best friend. Who should climb through my window in 3...2...1. "I just want to keep calling your name!" He sang along with me standing up on my bay window. "Mornin Ri Ri!" Zay said hopping down and moonwalking around me. "Mornin ZB!" I giggled at him.

 "Riley breakfast!" My dad shouted. "Coming!"grabbing Zay's hand walking downstairs. "Zay I see you're more comfortable using the window instead of the door now." My dad jokes sitting down at the table. "Oh Mr. Matthews! You kill me!" Zay tells him clutching his stomach. Making my dad laugh lightly.

I look at Auggie and say "you think after almost  2 years  that joke would get old?" He laughs and says "yeah and I stop thinking it was funny after the third time I heard it." "Plus dad isn't that funny." He said earning a gasp from dad. Who fakes a heart attack and falls to the floor. Causing Auggie and I to burst out laughing and fist bump each other.

"Cory why are you on the floor?" My mother asked walking through the front door. "No reason." He said sitting back in his chair. "Riley I need you to take Auggie to school today." My dad asked walking to the sink. "Okay daddy." I say getting up. "Auggie grab your stuff and let's go!" I shout out. My mom came back in and looked at me and said rather coldly "Morning Riley."

"Mom." I say just as cold. Zay looks between the two of us and clears his throat yelling "Augster you ready?" "Yeah let's go, bye guys." He shouted to our parents. "See you at school." I said to my dad kissing his cheek and walking out. After dropping Auggie off Zay and I sit in the school parking lot in silence. "So...." Zay says looking at me. "I see she is still team Maya."

flashback 2 years ago...

"Riley!" My mom shouts at me. "What is the matter with you?! Why would you say those things to Maya? Was it necessary to throw your friendship away over a boy?! She had been nothing but a great friend to you and this is how you repay her?!"

 I don't answer I just look at her hoping she can see the pain in my eyes. "Was it to much to ask for her to choose me and not her amazon warrior Maya for once?" I thought. "Well are you going to answer me?" I open my mouth to speak but quickly close it. Nothing I say will get her to see me. "I didnt raise you to be this way Riley," she said walking to the door. "Let me know when my daughter makes an appearance, cause the one I see now isnt the one I raised" And with that she walks out and I and I let go of the last tears I would ever shed.

End of flashback

 I smirk and look at him and say in my British voice. "It's's a very exclusive club darling!" "Only the best may join, very posh.. If you know what I mean." I wink at him watching as he tries to hold in his laugh. Which last for about two minutes before he starts laughing and I join in earning weird looks from people walking by.
