Chapter 35

"Wow! Maya you look absolutely beautiful." Riley finished pinning her blonde hair to the side and smiled at her work. "That dress is gorgeous."

"Thank you, clearance!"

"My favorite word!" The girls giggled and the brunette looked at her dress again. It was floor length with nude spandex covered by red lace. It had cap sleeves and a low v neckline. The red made her eyes pop.

"And, all you have to do is change." The blonde pointed out.

"I will get dressed and leave in like 45 minutes."

"Are you sure you don't want to drive with us?" The brunette nodded her head.

"My mom's going to drop me off. Plus I don't want to run the risk of him seeing me before we want him to." There was a knock on the door the girls jumped up and down and squealed. "Have fun pretty girl, you look fabulous. As usual!"

"Bye Riles, I can't wait to see that dress."

"Great, thank you so much for letting us take some pictures." The yearbook photographer scurried off, and Lucas tried to follow before getting sucked into the black hole that was Missy.

"Luke! Where are you going?" Lucas closed his eyes, he hated her voice.

"My name's Lucas and I'm going inside to the dance. That's what we're here for." He turned around to walk up the stairs to get to the room Missy's parents rented out.

"Can we talk?"

"Preferably not." Missy rolled her eyes and stood in front of him.

"I hate that you're mad at me." She put on her sad eyes. "We've been spending a lot of time together the past few days."

"I didn't have a choice." The green eyed man snapped.

"I just, I want to get past this whole thing and move on to our relationship." Lucas' eyes widened, causing his forehead to wrinkle and his mouth to open.

"Missy, I was stopped by Riley the other day at the pep rally from telling you how I feel."

"How you feel?" She smiled.

"We are not going to have any shape or form of a relationship. We won't EVER date. Ever." Lucas stepped to the side to leave.

"Riley isn't going to get back with you!" She glanced at him. "I've known her a lot longer than you, and I know she isn't going to cave. It'll make her look weak, and she'd rather die than have that happen."

"Just because you've known her longer doesn't mean a thing. You've seen her defensive side, that you so graciously bring out in her." He pointed out.

"I'm just warning you. Either way, i'll be here when you realize it." The running back rolled his eyes and jogged up the stairs. He opened the double wooden doors and walked down another set of stairs to get to the dance floor. The lights were turned out, with spot lights and an occasional strobe light. He smiled seeing 2 of his best friends.

"Hey y'all!"

"Hi, Lucas. Lookin' sharp." The green eyed man looked anxious and only Maya knew why.

"What's wrong man?"

"I just, i'm metting Riley after this and I want to leave as soon as possible." He squeezed his hands together, the blonde thought this would be the perfect moment to figure out a time.
