Homecoming dance

- Alexa Schorel -

This Friday is the homecoming game which mean the school dance is on Saturday!

James still hasn't asked me to homecoming yet but I know that he will cause we are officially dating. I mean I hope he will. He better not be one of those guys who thinks that they automatically go with there girlfriend.

That's not how it works.

We announced our relationship to everyone on Monday and the word spread rapidly. There were a lot of girls who were devastated that he's now taken which is a little concerning but I have faith in us.

Harper and I still haven't picked out our dresses yet but I think we are going shopping after to school to find one.

...

"Good morning babe" James says as I get into his car.

Babe, that's new

James has driven me to school everyday this week which has only been 2 days but still it's cute.

"Good morning" I say as he gives me a quick kiss me on the cheek.

"I got you your favourite coffee." He says as he grabs a warm coffee cup out of his cup holder.

"Aww thank you, you didn't have to do that." I reply grabbing the warm coffee out of his hands

"You right I didn't but I wanted you to have a good morning." I smile as he pulls away from Kobe's street.

I walk a few doors down every morning so that he doesn't know I live with Kobe. I don't even know if he knows where Kobe's house is but I imagine that he would.

They are friends after all.

We arrived at school about 10 minutes before the bell goes. As I gather all my things I put my hand on the door handle but James stops me.

"Lexi." He says as I turn to look at him

"Yes?" I reply with a bit of confusion.

He reaches to the back seat of his car and pulls out a bundle of tulips. "Will you go to the homecoming dance with me?" He asks a little hesitantly as he hands me the flowers.

"Yesss of course I will." I answer with so much excitement.

"I know that it's not much but I thought I'd just ask you straight up." he says nervously

"James don't worry it was perfect." I say smelling the flowers.

I hop out of the car and walk to the front of the school along side James. I see Harper, Blaise and Jacob standing out the front so I run up to them.

"Omg did he ask you to homecoming." Harper says instantly as soon as she notices the flowers.

"Yes he did." I say turning my head to look back at him as he slowly approaches up. The bell goes and we all walk inside the school and to our first classes.

...

After school ends I walk over the Harpers car with her. I slide into the passenger seat and put my seatbelt on.
