This is in Annie's point of view.
I got out of my car and saw that a couple of Matthew's baseball friends were sitting at our usual picnic table. I mean that's kind of a big deal since we've sat there everyday day since the first day of high school, so I just kind of assumed that everyone knew not to sit there. Whatever. I walked over to them and as I got closer I saw that Matthew wasn't squished in the middle of them like he always is.
"Hey Lucas!" I called out to one of Matthew's friends that I actually know.
"What's up, Annie? Have you seen Matt yet today?" He smirked.
"No, I was just coming to ask you where he was."
"Ohhhhhhh." The entirety of the group chorused in unison.
"Oh what? What's going on?"
"Nothing."
Ugh why are baseball players so annoying.
"Annie!" I hear Brooke call out to me.
I give a small wave to the boys and walk off to Brooke.
"Hey. Have you seen–"
"Let's go for a walk!" She cuts me off as she hands me a Starbucks cup and puts her hands over my eyes. I take a sip as she literally drags me to who knows where. Yum! Peppermint white chocolate mocha. My friends know me so well!
I hear a door creak open. I know that door better than the back of my hand. It's the gym door. Why are we in the gym?
"Annie, we're here." She uncovers my eyes so I can see the whole team and a ton of volleyballs shaped to spell out "PROM?" With Matthew behind it holding a poster that says, "Annie, I'd dig it if you went to prom with me."
I ran up to him and gave him a hug and whispered "I would love to go to prom with you." right into his ear. Everyone clapped and cheered as we hugged and he kissed the top of my head.
I could feel his heart go as fast as humanly possible. He does that a lot when he's flustered.
We took a few really cute pictures and I posted one on Instagram with the caption "I guess I'm all {set} for prom" Friday night was going to be so fun!

HEYYYY! Did you see what I did there? All set... I'm the only one that thinks I'm funny. But how cute are they? Don't forget to add this to your reading list, vote, and comment if you want to see Lucas some more! Thank you!
