-----------------

After the movies, the chauffeur dropped Matt and I off at his house. He lives in this huge mansion with his own tennis courts and an in-ground pool with a hot tub attached. There was a beautiful water fountain in front of his four car garage and there was a bunch of coins tossed into it.

"I used to make wishes in that you know. And I always wished to be on Cheetahs," I kicked a rock and looked away, afraid for Matt's reaction.

"Really? I've always just tossed my spare coins in there." He says emotionlessly. I blush, feeling awkward. Matt senses my uncomfortableness and says,

"I'm kidding Summer. I throw a penny in there whenever I really want something."

"Oh. When's the last time you've done that?" I look up at his sparkling eyes.

"Today actually. I wished that you would go out with me." He looks at the ground and quickly changes the subject.

"Let's go inside." He takes my hand and leads me in through the entryway. I gasp at the crystal chandelier and the huge paintings strung all over the walls. Matt smiles and motions for me to follow him upstairs. His bedroom is the first on the right side, and it's huge.

That's not the part I really notice though- it's all his cheering stuff. He has a Cheersport blanket over his bed and a big Cheetah pillow on the top of the light blue comforter. There's a big cork board with a bunch of pictures hung up on it; including one of Matt kissing the Worlds trophy.

I laugh and touch a photo of Matt attempting to do a scorpion next to Peyton doing her needle. Peyton looks young in the picture and still has her braces. There's one of Matt and Carly kissing and I wince.

"Oops. I forgot to take that down." He grabs the photo and shoves it in a drawer in his desk. I smile at him and take his hands.

"Your room is cooler than mine Matty," he laughs and kisses the tip of my nose.

"I'll see your room soon right Sums?" I nod and let him twirl me around. Just then I get an idea.

"Do you have an iPod doc Matt?" He nods and points to one besides him bed. I take my phone from my pocket and plug it into the doc. I scroll through my music app until I find what I'm looking for- Cheetah's music from this year.

I begin to play the song and say, "May I have this dance?"
