I looked down the stairs as what seemed like thousands of teenagers poured into my house. Wendy was standing next to me.
"Wendy, get into my room, blare my iPod, lock the door, let no one in but me. I'm going to see if I can grab some food for us before this all gets too insane." I instructed her. Wendy nodded once and ran back to the only safe room in the Jones household. I darted down the stairs and into the main floor. A crappy pop song blared over the speakers. I almost put my headphones to drown out the noise. I approached the kitchen. I looked at all the upperclassman here. Some I recognized from Killian and Liam, or some even from Taylor. I got to the kitchen and grabbed several bags of candy from my stash, a flat of soda, my secret thing of rum that only Killian knew about, and a bag of chips.
"Not joining the party I see." I heard someone say behind me. I turned around to see Emma. I smiled and shook my head.
"No way in hell. I don't do well with upperclassman. Excluding you and my brothers, I'm hiding out with Wendy in my room." Emma laughed. I waved to her and ran back toward the stairs. I saw some other people who I knew. I saw the guy who was arguing in the parking lot with Emma, but still couldn't place him. Then I saw a flash of brown and red hair.
"Ruby!?" I exclaimed. Ruby looked over at me, she was holding a solo cup in her hand.
"Hey Jace, what's upp." she slurred ever so slightly. I took her cup from her and smelled it. It reeked of rum and punch.
"God damn, one of the seniors spiked the punch," I muttered. I turned to Ruby. "Ruby, go home, your drunk." I said sternly. She shook her head and stumbled off. I groaned and went to find Killian in the mess. I looked at all the couples making out in various places. I ran upstairs and bashed on my door.
"Wendy! It's me!" Wendy opened the door. I gave her the supplies.
"Stay here, some idiot senior spiked the punch, do not drink my rum." I told her. Wendy promptly nodded and shut the door. I ran back downstairs and hunted for Killian through the crowd. I found him talking for some dirty blonde hair dude.
"Killian Faolan Jones, we need to talk." I almost growled. He stopped laughing and looked at me.
"Before I even ask, I want you to meet my buddy from the football team, Robin Locksley. Robin, this is my little sister Jace." Robin stuck his hand out for me to shake. I saw he had a lion tattoo on his arm.
"Nice to meet you Robin. Killian, one of the seniors spiked the punch and Ruby's already had some." Killian's eyes went wide.
"Shit, thanks Jace. Socialize will ya?" He said before running off. I looked at Robin.
"You don't seem like one to come to one of these things." I said. Robin shook his head.
"I'm more of a smaller party." He said. I hadn't noticed it before, but he had a British accent. It wasn't like mine or Killian's that only came out when we were pissed or were talking too fast. It was full on and I would be lying if I didn't kind of find it attractive.
"Nice tattoo by the way." I said motioning to his arm. He smiled.
"Thanks, have to keep it covered for school. Yours are quite impressive." He replied motioning to my hand and arm.
"Thanks, I don't cover them. The teachers believe the lie of it's Sharpie covered in baby powder that Killian dared me to keep on the entire year." Robin chuckled. I facepalmed.
"Shit... Look, nice meeting you Robin, but I left my freshie cousin in my room and I promised I'd only be gone a few minutes. So, I'll see ya around." I ran off and back up to my bedroom.
"Wendy it's me." I said, knocking on the door. She opened up.
"What the hell took took you so long!?" Wendy exclaimed. I went in and shut the door.
"Killian made me socialize with one of his friends." She raised her eyebrow.
"Who?" I shrugged
"Robin Locksley. Must be a junior." Wendy smiled.
"I know his little brother Roland, he's in 7th grade. I see him at the library all the time." I smiled. A kid brother, cute.
"Well, that's good information to know." My iPod was blaring King For A Day by Pierce the Veil.
"I told you I have more than two bands on my iPod!" I exclaimed. Wendy double clicked the menu button.
"Yeah, but it's featuring Kellin Quinn." I frowned.
"What can I say, his voice is hot. So is he." I shrugged. Wendy rolled her eyes but laughed.
"Whatever chica..." She said sitting on the floor. I laughed and opened a bag of gummy worms.
"Do you know anything about a junior named Peter Pan?" Wendy asked. I nearly choked on a gummy worm.
"Why?" I asked cautiously.
"Because I ran into him at the library today and he seemed nice, I was wondering if you knew him." I stiffened where I was sitting.
"Wendy, promise me you'll never talk to him. Yes I know him and he's bad news. Don't go near him and his crew." She nodded like she understood, but was also doubting it.
"Alright Jace. Does he go to Kalvin?" She asked. I shook my head.
"No, he goes to Neverland Prep. He doesn't have anyone who goes to Kalvin." thankfully. I wanted to add on, but chose not to. I heard the noise downstairs get quieter. I looked at the clock, 10:00 it read.
"SHIT! We were supposed to have you home before nine!" I exclaimed, climbing out my window. Wendy followed behind me and we ran to her house as fast as our legs would carry us. Which was faster for me then it was for her. We finally reached her house and a very angry Mr. Darling greeted us.
"Jacelyn Maeve Jones, care to explain why your bringing my daughter home at such an ungodly hour?" He interrogated me. I sighed.
"Killian was throwing a party, I was hanging out with her in my room not wanting her to get drunk, we lost track of time and we got here as fast as we could on foot." Mr. Darling did not look impressed, but ushered Wendy inside anyway. I dragged myself back to my house and crashed into my bed to be lulled to sleep by Stomach Tied In Knots by Sleeping With Sirens.
A/N: Thank you sooo much for the support on the last chapter. I love you guys and to thank you, I GIVE YOU TWO UPDATES IN ONE WEEKEND :D. I'm so happy I got to bring Pan, Robin, and Roland into the picture :)
