"Goodie Two Shoes"

Chapter 13

I twirl around in front of my mirror. I straightened my hair and half of my hair twists around my head in a pretty design. I matched my lips to my dress, and made sure my eyelashes showed. I have heels but only an inch. I'll still be a bit shorter than Izaac.

Packing my bag I don't know what I'm gonna need. Lipstick. A comb. I toss a puffer in, who knows a dance could throw my breathing. I put my debit in too. Lastly I roll up my beanie, sliding it in too.

Me: Don’t forget to come in, my parents are back and they love pictures.

Izaac☆: They’re gonna be disappointed it's me.

I look down at my phone and laugh. I set my hand on my heart.

Me: Never! They love you. Plus I already told them we're going as friends.

Izaac☆: Am I supposed to get you a corsage?

Me: Save that for prom ;)

Izaac☆: My date'll be lucky, I'm great at picking flowers.

Me: I have faith in that.

Izaac☆: You like daisies right?

Me: Yeah, they're my favorite.

Me: Why?

Me: Izaac.

I drum my fingers in front of my mirror. I twirl my hair and pick up a book. I haven't read in a while. That's weird.

I get through ten pages when my phone buzzes. Izaac is calling me.

"Aqua?"

"Uh yeah, who else?"

"Come downstairs."

"Alright bossy pants."

"I'm not bossy." I hear his whine through the phone. I step into the first steps.

"Alright sure. One question though when did we agree to lie to each other."

"Ah. I'm hurt. I'd never lie to you."

"If you say so." I turn into the living room.

Izaac is standing there with my parents. My dad is holding a camera.

"Oh, gotta go, my dates here."

"It's alright, I saw a beautiful girl, I'm gonna go try to talk to her."

"Good luck."
I say hanging up, slipping my phone into my bag.

Izaac walks up and hands me a daisy.

"Oh my goodness, how did you know?"

"I know you very well, and I had a little help." He winks at me.

I reach for the flower and hear a click. I turn my head and see my dad holding a camera in front of his face.

"Hey, Izaac! Slip the daisy into her hair." My mom calls from behind us.

Izaac follows her instructions and slips it in one of the parts clipped up. Just as he's adjusting it there is another click.

He smirks at me and bends to his knee grabbing my hand. Click. Then he brings it to his lips. Click.

"Okay. I think we're okay. You guys can go." My dad says smiling. Izaac takes my hand leading me out of the house.
_________________________________________

He opens my door for me, then does it again entering the building. I take his hand and run him to the music. We enter the gym and I instinctly squeeze his hand. We walk through trying to find Anna. Then I see Felix.

Felix, who I've loved since grade nine. Felix, who I almost gave my v card to.
Felix, who I haven't spoken to since 'enjoy the party'.
Felix, who is currently swapping spit with some random girl, dancing way too close to her.

I stop dead in my tracks.

He's on top of me. He's kissing my neck, inside I'm hoping that this doesn't leave marks. He starts to move down. I grab his hair. Suddenly he pops his head up, he looks to be adjusting something. There's an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. "No" I whisper. He hears me, he looks me right in the eyes. "I don't want this." That's when he flops onto his back.

Felix stops kissing the girl and looks over at me. He winks, then goes back to making out. I feel Izaac interlock our fingers. I look down at our hands and smile. I keep walking. I see Anna and Rosa a couple meters away and run up dragging Izaac behind me. I stop before they see us.

"Turn around, she doesn't know yet. I'm gonna suprise her cuz I was supposed to bring a date."

"Am I not good enough to be a date?"

"Of course you are, but friend dates don't count."
Something inside me hurts to say that.
I turn to face Anna, and she turns to see me.

"Aqua!! Yay! Who did you bring?!?! How dare you not tell me! I'm so excited!"

I pull Izaac's hand and turn him around. Anna flashes a smile at Izaac, but I don't see it.

"That's not fair! Izaac's in l...luck. But of course he was gonna say yes! You're his best friend!"

I don't see the fear, and nerves that crossed Izaac's face while she was talking.

"Well I think it's cute." Rosa pipes up.

"Thank you Rosa! I knew I'd like you." I say. A slow song starts playing and I jump up. I turn to Izaac.

"Does this mean..."

"Yes, I believe it does. May I have this dance?" He says bending slightly, offering me his hand.

I take his hand and he leads me to the middle of the gym. I put my hands around his neck and glance over at the band. Then I look at him. He smiles at me, forcefully making it close his eyes. I smile back at him doing the same.

We sway in silence. But it's comfortable.
_________________________________________

A couple songs later, Anna and Rosa have rejoined us. But Izaac turns to me.
"So I'm gonna go check on my other friends as long as that's cool."

I nod.

"Alright, I'll be back in fifteen."

I don't see the wink he sends Anna.

She takes mine and Rosa's hand and twists us both. All three of is giggling.
