Wishing I Was 23

↞chapter twelve↠

*Friday*
Lanie's POV:
I'm getting ready for prom!! Rydel did my hair and makeup. I didn't really want makeup, but Rydel convinced me to put some on. After she was done, I walked downstairs. It was like on one of those cheesy movie scenes where the girl comes down, and all the guys look at her in astonishment. I laughed at how cliché it was.
"Lanie, you look gorgeous!" Rocky said. I blushed.
"My baby sis is going to prom!" Ross said, pretending to get emotional. I gave him a playful punch on the shoulder. Ryland and Ellington both said something along the same line. Riker came up and hugged me. I hadn't seen very much of him since the witch came into the picture.
"My best friend is looking good," he said in a weird voice. I laughed. Someone knocked at the door. I went to answer it, but the boys got to it before I could.
"Take good care of Lanie," Ross said.
"Have her home by 11," Rocky said.
"Keep your hands to yourself!" Ryland said.
"If you hurt her, I will personally bury you," Riker said in a cheery yet serious voice.
I came to the door and saw that Dylan looked really nervous.
"Guys, you're scaring him!" I said.
"That was our point," Rocky said. We all said our goodbyes, and Dylan and I headed off to prom. We had an awesome night, but it was sad that it was almost ending. A slow dance came on, and we went to the dance floor and started dancing.
"I know we haven't known each other very long, but I like you," Dylan said. I smiled. "Would you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes!" I said. I couldn't stop smiling the rest of the night. We left and finally stopped at my house. Once we said our goodbyes, I walked inside.
"You're late," Rocky said. I read the clock: 11:02.
"Sorry, mom. I didn't know two minutes was a crime," I said very sarcastically. Before he could think of a comeback, Ross and Ryland came running down the stairs.
"Did he touch you? Are you hurt? Do I need to hurt him? Did-" Ross said way too fast.
"Yes. No. No. Calm down!" I said. I turned to Ryland and pointed to Rocky and Ross, "Moms, man." We started laughing until I was suddenly pulled upstairs by Rydel.
"Tell. Me. Everything!" Rydel said. I told her the whole story."O MY GOSH, YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE CUTEST COUPLE EVER!!!!" she squealed.
"Calm down, Rydel. You act more excited than I am," I said. We talked about random things for a few more minutes. "Where is Riker?" I asked this question too often, even though I already knew the answer.
"Probably with the witch," Rydel said. Rydel didn't even like her, and that was pretty hard to achieve. I went to my room and got ready for bed. I lied in bed thinking about Riker. Saturdays used to be Lanie and Riker day. We pretty much spent every Saturday together. He probably wouldn't even be home though. Why did the witch have to ruin this?
*next day*
I woke up, hoping to find Riker sitting there waiting to start the day. He wasn't there. Today was going to be just great! Sarcasm. I got dressed and walked downstairs. Ross was sitting at the counter, looking as bored as can be.
"Sis! Finally! We need to do something today. I'm sooooo bored!" Ross said.
"Ok, anything in mind?" I said. He dragged me to the car and tried to get in the driver's side. "Oh, no, no, no! You aren't driving! I didn't say I wanted to be killed today!" I exclaimed.
"Relax! I got this," Ross said, trying to play it cool. We both got in the car, and Ross drove over to the movie theater.
"What are we going to watch?" I ask.
"I don't know. I just came for the popcorn," he said, getting out of the car. I got out also and walked into the movie theater. We ended up watching a comedy movie. Most of the movie, I was obnoxiously laughing with Ross joining in. Later, we went to several stores. We walked into Target.
"Do you want to play hide and seek?" Ross asked.
"Duh!" I said. I didn't even question Ross's odd requests. I was used to it. He started counting, and I ran to the candy section. I slid in one of the shelves somehow, and waited for Ross. I heard footsteps, and someone tapped my shoulder.
"Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you leave the store," the guy said. I got up and walked out of the store, trying my hardest not to laugh. Ross suddenly walked outside and found me sitting beside the store.
"Ross!"I randomly hugged him.
"Wow. Someone is happy to see me." he said.
"I got kicked out of the store," I said, laughing very hard. He bursted out laughing.
"I saw you walk out, and I also saw some guy watching you. He didn't look very happy," Ross said, trying to stop laughing.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"6:23," Ross said, "Want to go get something to eat?" I nodded, and we finished our outing with a random restaurant we found.
