Friday comes around and the students don't have a clue about how Lyla will be singing again but, they do know about the party.

"You going to the Stark party?" A student in her gym class asks, getting everyones attention.

"Mhmm." Lyla takes a drink of water.

"Oh, are you gonna sing again?" Betty smiles.

"You guys really liked it?" She chuckles.

"Yes." Half the room asks, surprising her, not knowing they were all listening.

"Oh." She nods. "Yeah, I am."

"Did you choose a song already?" Liz asks.

"Yeah."

"Can we know?" Ned asks.

"Uh?"

"Please?" They ask.

"Holy crap, dudes." She chuckles. "I won't tell you which song but, I'll tell you who sings it."

"Please?"

"Christina Aguilera."

"No way." They doubt.

"Yup."

"You won't be able to hit her notes." Flash states.

"Guess you'll have to wait and see what happens, won't you?"

"I'm so excited." Betty jumps.

"Me too." Lyla nods. "Ned, you gonna be there?"

"I can go?" His eyebrows go through the roof.

"You are Peters best friend so, I guess so." She chuckles. "I'm inviting you."

"Okay." He jumps. "How am I gonna get there?"

"I have a way." She smirks and he nods, knowing of her powers.

"I wanna go." Flash throws his arms.

"You're not invited." She shrugs. "Sorry not sorry."

He rolls his eyes at her and she smirks, Peter and Ned smiling excitedly in the background.

Lyla and Peter takes a seat in the common room after greeting everyone.

"I invited Ned." Lyla states.

"Oh?" Tony nods. "Okay. Why?"

"I don't know." She shrugs. "Just did."

"Alright."

She gets her phone out and goes to her messages, telling Pietro that Ned will be a distraction, keeping Peter away.

He chuckles into his phone and she smiles into hers.

"What're you singing, later?" Nat asks.

"Surprise."

"Oh, boo."

"Only my dad knows." She chuckles.

"You'll definitely be surprised." Tony nods.

Later on, before Lyla can start getting ready, Pietro comes speeding into her room and she smiles, throwing herself in his arms, legs around his waist.

"Oh, my goodness." He chuckles as his hands fly to hold her up.

She giggles and backs up, cupping her hands on his cheeks, forcing him into a smiley kiss. She pulls away with a victorious smile, making him laugh as she throws her arms around his neck.

"I like this." He nods. "It's very nice."

"You better like this." She fake threatens. "Like I said, you're stuck with it for a while so, get used to it."

"I'll never get used to it." He shakes his head. "Make me happy everyday."

She smiles and holds a little tighter, laying her head on his shoulder as he nuzzles his nose in her neck, moving to sit on her bed.

"I could easily stay like this for the rest of the night." Lyla sighs.

"Me too." He smiles. "But, you got a song to sing for me so, we gotta get up."

"Who said it was for you?" She teases, knowing it is in fact for him.

"Who else would it be for?"

"I don't know."

"Exactly."

She chuckles and slowly releases her hold on him, standing between his legs with her hands on his jawline.

"You ever get rid of this scruff, I will shoot you."

"I won't get rid of it, then." He chuckles. "Shit."

"Yay." She grins.

He rolls his eyes and pulls her down to his open lips, both smiling into the kiss. He pulls her waist closer, curving her body into his, slowly bringing his hands lower, sliding them to her ass, making her giggle and him smile.

They pull apart and lay their foreheads together, both smiling brightly, eyes still closed. They give each other one last kiss before he stands and speeds away, her just standing there with the largest smile she can produce.

She showers and dries her hair, curling it and doing her makeup, all before slipping on her dress. She takes a picture for her instagram, not posting it until later so, Pietro doesn't see it early.
