Chapter 14

"Sweetie, you should get ready!" Mom says as she enters my room.

"Okay!" I nod "Um... Did dad know?" I ask nervously. I've already told mom about Nick and dad knows I'm seeing someone but he doesn't know it's Nick and honestly I don't want him to know, he's just gonna make it really hard on us both because of the useless thoughts in his mind he knows that I'm never gonna end up like him but yet he makes it really hard on me when it comes to boys.

"Yes, don't worry about that, okay?" She smiles at me.

"Okay!" I smile back, mom then leaves my room and I head to the bathroom, I take a shower then return back to my room, I look at the clock and find that it's 5 pm which means I have two hours before Nick picks me up.

I blow my hair dry and curl it to perfection, I then move to my make up, I apply some foundation, eyeliner, mascara and some pink lip gloss and just like that I'm done with my make up.

As I'm about to put my dress on my phone buzzes indicating I received a new text, I unlock my phone and see that it's a text from Nick, I open it and it says

Nick : I'm leaving my house now! I'll be at yours in 10 ;)

I glance at the clock at it reads 6:50 so, I rush to my bed where my dress is, I put it on quickly along with black heels then I check the clock to find that I still have two minutes left, I grab my purse and take one last look in the mirror before heading downstairs.

As I reach the bottom of the stairs I hear a knock on the door.

"Your date is here!" Mom smirks as I walk to open the door, I roll my eyes and open the door to reveal Nick dressed in the tux we brought together, he looks me up and down as his grins widely at me.

"You look gorgeous!" He says.

"Don't be cheesy!" I roll my eyes "You already saw me in the dress"

"But your hair wasn't curled and you didn't put much effort on your make up then" He explains.

"Oh! It's so nice to know I looked awful back then!" I fake hurt.

"You know I don't mean it like that!" He rolls his eyes "Now let's go!" He offers his hand which I gladly take as we walk to his car, he opens the passenger's door for me then jogs to the driver's seat after I slip in the car.

"You're always beautiful!" He says as he starts the car.

"Thanks!" I smile at him.

The rest of the drive is spent in silence just the sound of Nick tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, he looks like he's nervous and I wonder why?

Nick's Point Of View

"Thank you!" Sara says as I help her out of the car, We link arms as we walk towards the school's Gym where the party is held.

"You alright?" Sara asks as we approach the building.

"Yeah! Why?" I raise my eyebrows.

"I don't know you look" She pauses "Nervous" she shrugs. Damn! She noticed!

"No, I'm fine!" I give her a reassuring smile which she returns, we walk into the building which now has colorful lights, dance floor, speakers and a snack table.

I look at Sara to find her moving slowly with the music.

"Wanna dance?" I ask.

"Yeah!" She nods, we then head to the dance floor, I sneak my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me as she wraps her arms around my neck, we keep moving to the loud music blasting from the speakers till a slow song plays making us slow down and sway slowly.
