Chapter 1

Maya's POV

i jump up to the sound of my alarm vibrating It was exactly 5 days 3 hours and 26 minutes till my 18th birthday i was so excited, Smakle, Riley and I are going to have a joint party! I get dressed and put on some ripped jeans and my favorite grey top with a white collar, i lightly curled my hair and did my makeup " soft and peachy" i say to myself and go to head to the Matthews house.

"Mom?!.." I shouted before i left but got no answer "she must have gone to the cafe early" i mumbled to myself and left through the window.

As i get to Riley's i see her rummaging around her room i slid open the window finally being able to hear what she was saying.

"Where is it… gosh where is it" Riley cries moving from one side of her room to the other, "What's up Riles" i say in a puzzled tone she comes to the bay window and flopped down "oh peaches, I've lost the necklace Lucas gave me for my 18th birthday" her eyebrows frown till they are knitted together, Zay and i were the only single ones but i hoped that in 5 days 3 hours and 15 minutes that would change.

"Riles where have you looked" i asked her "everywhere" she yells as i roll my eyes i get up and walk over to her to whisper in her ear "have you tried your neck?" i say walking towards the door i paused for a couple seconds

…

I hear a gasp "peaches what would i do without you" she says walking towards me and puts her arm over my shoulder as we headed for the subway.

Riley's POV

I get up with a smile on my face i walk to my window and look outside "hello plants, hello birds, hello sunshine" i glare with sparkles in my eyes i walk to my closet and slip on some black high wasted ripped jeans and a white long t shirt with pink flowers over the top in a spiraling design i headed for a light pink lip and natural makeup putting my hair in a messy fishtail braid.

i go to my jewelry stand to grab my necklace but it's not there i start to panic rummage through all my things then Maya comes through the window i can tell she notices something's wrong, i explain the situation and halfway through she comes closer and whispers "try looking around your neck" i gasp to see it was there it's like Maya's a saint that knows all the answers to my problems. I walk over to her and put my arm round her shoulder as we headed to the subway.

(on the subway)

"Hey Maya are you excited for our big party?" i asked with a grin from ear to ear

"Yes very" she replies forming her lips into a small curve of a smile "i can tell you are judging by the way you are bouncing around" Maya laughs after and i join in

"I got you a great present" i turn to face Maya

"What is it please tell me riles" she jumps back at me

"No way! I will tell you when you get to the party!" she smiles and turns away. I'm so excited for her gift from me to her i hope she likes it!.
