Riley
You know, I knew that this year would be hard. We are all off doing our own thing but I don't know.. As more weeks go past I can't help but feel more and more alone
Michelle is off on her acting classes and always spends her evening with them
Most of the boys are always in the studio working on their choreo or helping other classes with theirs
James is always across the road at Lost and Found. He's cancelled on 4 of our dates over the last couple weeks and I know I should just be thankful that I have them all around and stuff but I don't know
I just feel like shitIt was Saturday, we were all meant to be free on these days but last time I checked, Michelle was going out with the girls from her acting class
James is at an extra practice all day and hell knows where Eldon West and Hunter are
Even Piper is busy but even if she wasn't why would she want to hang around her brothers girlfriend who isn't even worth his time at this point"Hey Riley" A voice said as I was walking through the corridor heading to the studios
"Hey Oscar" I said smiling in his direction
"Don't tell me you are about to go to the studio on one of our rare days off?" He laughed and I chuckled shrugging
"Haven't exactly got anything else to do" I said and he furrowed his brow
"what about James and the gang? Or whatever you guys call it" He said and I shrugged again
"all busy" I confirmed"well then your in luck" He smiled
"I'm about to go meet some of the girls and guys we used to dance with. A lot of them are in town for Nationals" He said and I raised a brow with a smile
"Do you wanna come? I bet they'd love to see you" He said and I nodded
"I'd love to--
James
It was late, very late in fact. All of us were sat in the Common room, we were half expecting Riley to already being here but there is no sign of her
"Nobody's heard from her?" I asked and they all shook their heads
"I was out with the Acting girls" Michelle said
"We were in the basement working with Jared" Hunter said
"And I was at Band practice" I said sighing
"I'm sure she's fine" Eldon said
"looks like she's at a party?" West said making me look at him confused, in fact we all didHe held up his phone showing us Riley's recently instagram posted 5 minutes ago
"Isn't Oscar the guy from Piper's class?" Hunter asked and I nodded
"Who is Alissa and Maisy?" Michelle asked with a tinge of jealousy
"I don't have a clue" I said and they all looked around before sighing"Maybe we don't know Riley as well as we thought?" Michelle asked
"what does that mean?" I asked
"She called these people family, I thought you know we were?" She asked and I rolled my eyes
"Michelle, do you realise how jealous you sound right now?" West asked"So what she went out with some people? From the looks of the comments and the captions. These are the people she grew up with" Eldon said
"It's not like she is binning us off for them" Hunter said
"Yeah, they were in town for I'm assuming Nationals. We weren't around so she found something to do" I said
"We can't expect her to be sitting around waiting for us constantly" I saidI know for a fact I haven't been there much for Riley lately but I'm changing that
The band and I have been working on something special for Riley but maybe all she needs or wants is me to be around, all of us to be around
The project can wait
As long as it isn't too late
