That's Not Her

21. who destroyed the back porch last summer

^^^^Maia's dress for party^^^^

Maia's point of viev

I tried to ignore the loud music as I put more mascara on. I remember my mother once compared me to stripper when she saw me holding a mascara wand that wasn't even mine.

I shook myself of that memory and tried to get in party spirits which was quite difficult especially after the whole conversation with Livia. At least she is being smart acknowledging who different she and Jace are and how wrong they are for each other. Unlike me. I couldn't see how wrong I saw for Mark until it was too late. At least she isn't fooling him and herself and being something he want just because she likes him. I always knew she was more mature than me but unfortunately her influence wasn't enough to stop me from making stupid mistakes. Suddenly door threw open and Jace entered. Alec and Livia followed right after him arguing.

I looked in the mirror and made eye contact with Alec. He kept staring at me with his eyes widen. I guess my dress would have this effect on anyone. Even Alec who actively hated my existence. I smiled at him and moved my hair on my shoulder exposing my back, it was after all, main attraction of the whole dress.

"What's wrong?" I asked Liv who looked spectacularly annoyed.

"They want to be in this party. I told them it was non negotiable. Then Jace threaten to call your dad and reporting this."

"Go on. I'll tell him who destroyed the back porch last summer." I threatened sweetly.

"Come on Maia. Don't behave like a child. What is it we did to you anyway?" Jace asked exaggerated. Did he really wanted an answer for that?

"Fine. You both can stay. But there is one condition."

"You can't be in same room, hell same floor as liv and I. Tonight you don't know us and we don't know you." I stated and finished putting on a nude lipstick.

I turned around and smiled at him sweetly. "Agreed?"

"Fine. It's not like we are dying for your company." Alec snapped. That would've had more weight if they weren't begging to go to the party I am throwing. I ushered everyone out and locked my room hiding the key under the carpet. I don't want to come back to find some horny couple doing it in my room, on my bead. I could feel Alec eyes on my ass while I dealt with the key, I smirked.

Downstairs was just as I expected it to be. Loud, dark and fun. Just as we reached top of stairs the DJ noticed us and smiled. He looked really familiar but I couldn't see his face because of lights that were flashing in my face.

"And finally joining us is Maia McQueen and Livia Spencer. Can everyone make some noise to welcome our stunning host." Everyone shouted as the song changed into one of my favorites. After our epic entrance I went to the DJ and found out it was Drake.

He smiled at me and shouted over music. "It's a killer party."

"I am glad you came. I didn't knew you were DJ." I yelled over the music. he tried to say something too but I couldn't make out the words. then suddenly he grabbed my waist to pull me close. He removed my hair from my ear and spoke loudly.

"I am not. Just holding the fort till real one gets back from his quicky." Ew. I am not touching this sound system.

"Seriously? Party hasn't even started." I said in disgust which made him laugh.

"What can I say? Alcohol makes you do anything."

"Right. I am going to grab some of it. Find me once you're free?" I said removing myself from his hold. He winked at me before turning his attention back to the laptop in front of him.
