Allison's POV

I push open the door to the dance studio, pulling my duffle bag onto my shoulder. My shoes tap against the wooden floor, my figure moving across the mirrored wall in front of me.

"Allison!"

Riker's long legs run over to me, and before I can blink his arms are wrapped around my waist and spinning me in the air. After setting me back on the ground, he gives me a small kiss on the cheek.

This tall, blonde kid has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. We have been in the same dance classes since first grade. His mom has home videos of us dancing around the house, rehearsing our routine from class.

About a year and a half ago, he finally asked me out. I had been waiting since freshman year for him to ask. It took everything I had not to ask him myself, but I didn't want to ruin our friendship. It's the greatest feeling in the world when you can date your best friend.

"How was your day, babe?" His lips turn up in a small smile and his golden eyes stare into mine.

"It was good, except for that math test. Pretty sure I bombed it."

"Oh I bet you did fine, you studied so hard!"

I sit down on the floor to start my stretches. Riker sits next to me and starts to stretch with me. I look over at him and can't help but laugh. He has his dark blue headband wrapped around his hair again. He hears me chuckle, and I instantly blush.

The rest of our classmates come into the room, and I stand up to greet them. Peeta, my best and only real girl friend, gives me a big hug. Her curly blonde hair bounces as she spins around to show me her new dress. She is absolutely stunning, and she is an amazing dancer.

"Class, let's get started! From the top, please!" Mr. Hough, our dance instructor, walks into the room, giving his command.

We all get into position, and another day of class begins.

After an hour of non-stop practicing, Mr. Hough lets us go, and I have never been so happy to leave dance class. Riker and I are going to get some dinner before going home.

I put on my flip flops and a sweatshirt before zipping up my duffle bag and slinging it across my shoulder.

"You did great today, Alli! You're really nailing that lift with Riker!" Peeta exclaims, giving me a little bit of confidence. We haven't been able to get the lift perfect just yet, he still needs to build up some muscle in his arms and shoulders, but we're getting there.

I follow her out of the class, and stand against the wall. We stand there talking about all the homework we have due in English tomorrow, but to be honest I could care less. I am so excited to go to dinner with Riker. We haven't been out on a dinner date alone in a long time. One of his siblings always wants to tag along, and I never have the heart to say no. I love his family so much.

"Hey ladies, what're you talking about? I certainly hope it's about how amazing I am getting at those turns." he gives us a flash of those pearly whites and flips his long blonde hair out of his face. I giggle a bit and grab his hand.

We say goodbye to Peeta and head out of the building.

"So where are we going tonight?" I ask, excitement clear in my voice.

"It's a surprise, come on Alli, you don't think I would just give it away?"

As we get closer to his car, he runs up in front of me and opens the passenger for me.

"My lady." He bows a little, helping me get into the car, and then shuts the door and hops in the driver's seat.

He gives me a quick kiss before turning on the radio and driving away to the mystery location of our date.
