It was the night of the school dance
Maya and Riley had gotten ready at Riley's house and had now arrived at the auditorium that had been decorated in a starlight theme with stars illuminating the whole place.
"It's so pretty" Riley muses as she looks around.
"Yeah it's really nice " Maya agrees
Riley finds Lucas standing over in a corner with a group of guys. He looks over and sees her and smiles and waves at her. Riley shyly waves back.
"You gonna ask him to dance?" Maya asks
"No way" Riley says
They walk over to the drinks where they run into Farkle and Smackle
"Ladies" Farkle greets
"Farkle" both girls reply
"Hey, Riley what's your uncle doing here?" Farkle asks looking behind the girls.
Both girls turn around and they see Josh
"What's he doing here?" Maya asks her best friend
"He may have heard that the other chaperone had backed out and he may have volunteered to help my dad" she says innocently.
Maya looked over to see him standing with Cory, he must have felt her looking because he looked over and saw them and he smiled and waved at the blonde who turned away quickly.
A new song comes on
"Come on lets all dance" Smackle exclaims. The four teens step onto the dance floor and begin dancing.
They dance for a couple songs until they get tired and decide to take a break. They head to table and grab a drink.
"Don't look now but a certain cowboy is staring at you right now" Maya teases
Riley turns to catch Lucas staring at her, he gives her a quick smile before returning to the conversation with his friends.
"Wait, you like Lucas?" Smackle asks surprised
"Where have you been the last year" Maya asks. Riley rolls her eyes
"uh Riles don't panic but he's coming this way" Smackle comments
"What?" Riley asks eye wide turning to see the blonde making his way over
"Be calm, stay cool" Maya instructs her friend
Riley takes a deep breath and tries to look calm
"Hey" Lucas says
"Hi" Riley
"Let's go dance" Smackle tells her boyfriend as she pulls him to the dance floor
"I have to go....somewhere" Maya says as she quickly walks away from them
Riley rolls her eyes at her so called friends
"Having fun?" Lucas asks
"Yeah i am I'm having a great time, How about you?"
"Yeah its been fun" he answers
Riley nods as they both stay there not knowing what else to say
"So..." Lucas begins
"So.." she repeats
"Do you maybe wanna dance,,with me?" he asks and Riley felt she could sense some nervousness in his tone.
"Yeah" she tries to answer calmly without freaking out
Lucas smiles as he takes her hand and leads her into the dance floor
