My Neighbour

Riley

"Are you going to go over and see James?" Dad asked as we parked up on the drive. I looked across the road to see James' bedroom light on
"I give it 10 minutes before he's climbing through my window" I laughed as we walked through the front door
"I'm sorry?" Dad laughed making me chuckle
"James has the tendency to climb through my window instead of knocking on the door" I said and dad chuckled walking into the kitchen
"oh young love" He said as I headed upstairs

As soon as I got into my room I switched the light on and opened the window, James knew that as soons as that happened he was free to come over
It was only a matter of time till that happens
I walked over to my wardrobe grabbing one of James' shirts throwing it over my body before putting my hair up

"Your home" James smiled as he appeared by the window
"Really? I thought I was still on the moon" I smirked making him roll his eyes coming over to kiss me
"Is everything okay?" He asked wrapping his arms around me looking at us in the mirror
"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" I asked as he placed his head on my shoulder
"I don't know Ri, you went MIA today" He said kissing my cheek

"Riley, there is food in the kitchen" Dad said calling up the stairs
"Hi James!" He then called making me laugh
"Hey Harry" James called back making me laugh again

"I'm not one to be too worried about you when you go off doing something, but I just wanted to check in. It's not like you to miss school" He said as we walked over to the bed
"We had the hearing about who I'll be staying with now my parents are splitting" I said making James widen his eyes 
"Riley, you could have told me" He said and I nodded
"I know I could have but I didn't want you to worry" I said tapping his nose making her chuckle
"Worrying or not. This shouldn't have been something you went through alone" He said
"I didn't go through it alone. I was with my dad" I smirked making him roll his eyes
"You have an answer for everything don't you" He said and I happily nodded making him chuckle leaning forward to kiss me

"So he did remember to bring you home!" West sung as we walked into school the next day
"I mean yeah? What?" I said making everyone laugh
"Glad to have you back Riley"Hunter said
"now James will shut up about missing you" Eldon teased
"I don't think you are one to tease Eldon" James said motioning to Thalia who was walking over with Giselle

"it's our favourite little lady" Giselle sung as both her and Thalia hugged me
"It is indeed" I smiled
"Are we still doing the routine after school?" Thalia asked and I smiled nodding
"We just needed to find some guys" Giselle said
We all decided to compose a audition video for some of the college's we were applying for. But the routine we were doing needed 5 girls and 4 boys. 
We have the girls but we did not have the boys

"I don't know if you guys had noticed but you have 4 handsome guys standing right here" West said motioning to all the boys
"Sadly boys, your looks won't help us in this department" I said allowing James to pull me back to his side
"What is it?" James asked, I looked up at him
"It's our audition piece, we need 4 male dancers" I said and James smiled before looking at the boys

"We can help" All four of them said at the same time, I turned to the girls who shrugged before agreeing
"It can't hurt to try it" I said making James smile leaning down to kiss me 
"Is it for you to send to Julliard?" James asked and I shrugged
"I still haven't decided on that" I replied and James shook his head poking my sides
"We made a deal madam" He replied making me roll my eyes 
"Fine fine fine" I said swatting his arms away
