Valentine Ball 2

Lotus P.O.V

Oh My Irene! Today is the Valentine Ball and I forgot all about it! I started to get into my dress until my mom came into my room with a confused face until she finally realized and smiled. "Lotus, the ball is tonight, not during the day" after she said that I fell face flat onto the ground from trying to put on my shoes as I just groaned as she chuckled. "But that doesn't mean that you don't have school, so get dressed in your uniform and come eat breakfast once your done." "Right" mom then left as I got up rubbing my forehead a bit from the fall.

I got into my uniform and then headed downstairs where dad, mom, Tyler, and Galaxy were. I got myself some toast since I wasn't that hungry. After breakfast me and Tyler walked to school talking about some random stuff. It was a pretty short walk since our conversation was pretty long. We got inside the school got our things and headed off to the class early.

The bell soon ringed as students started to head to class and get to their seats. I saw Luke as he smiled at me and waved as I blushed a bit and waved back. Class went by pretty early as I was walking in the hallways to my locker. While getting my stuff I got myself in a sticky situation.......it was pretty bad too. The situation was that I was pinned to my locker by Ethan, man does this suck.

"Well well what do we have here? Little Lotus not with her big brother? Looks like I'll be taking you home with me today" "I um uh, no thanks!" "Why not?" "Well I uh, um I-I" 'Come on Lotus think of an excuse!!!' "I have to go to the Valentine Ball!" 'Great thinking Lotus.....' "Oh really? And who're you going with?" "L-Luke...." "So the guy actually had the guts to ask you out huh?" "Y-yup!" "Too bad I'll be stealing his girl".  Ethan soon started to get closer to me by the second as I was frozen not knowing what to do, am I really gonna have my first kiss stolen by some jerk? But soon enough Luke came and stopped Ethan from kissing me as I gave out a relief sigh. "Sorry for barging in but I'm pretty sure she's coming with me" Luke moved Ethan's hand and grabbed my hand while pulling me behind him protectively. I was quite shocked by this but happy at the same.

"Oh is Luke trying to play the hero now?" Ethan rolled his eyes as Luke growled a bit but I just hugged him from behind as my tears threatened to come out. "L-lets just leave L-Luke, I don't n-need you getting hurt" I hid my face in his back as some tears came out as he just sighed and responded "Alright". I let go of him as I held his hand as we started to walk off while I looked down so my hair could cover my face. Luke stopped making me stop with him "Something wrong?" "No its just that, the nerve of him trying to rape you is filling me with rage, if you ever got hurt I couldn't forgive myself" when he said that he embraced me with a protective yet loving hug. I had to process on what was happening until I finally hugged him back, I smiled as I rested my head on his chest.

"Don't worry, I promise that I won't get hurt, as long as you keep me safe" I lifted my face as I gave him a smiled that is until we both leaned in. We leaned in closer and closer until a voice interrupted us as we let go of each other and stepped away a bit both flushed. "Lotus you said you were gonna help me with my project!" I looked over to see Stacey as I just remembered right now "O-oh right! C-coming!" I turned to Luke as we both laughed nervously "I'll um, see you tonight" "Yeah!" "Pick you up at 6?" "Sure! I uh, better get going." "Alright! Um, bye!" "Bye!". I waved to him and walked over to Stacey as we left. As I was walking out of the school with Stacey she smirked as I looked at her.

"What?" "You like him don't you?" 'W-what makes you say that!?" I was now blushing madly as she laughed "Don't worry, I won't tell him" "Thanks" "HA SO YOU DO LIKE HIM!!!" "E-EH!? SO IT WAS A TRAP THIS WHOLE TIME!?" "Yup!" "Please don't tell him!" "Don't worry I won't" "Thanks Stacey". We started to walk to her house as we just started talking about anime and on how I'm watching Kamisama Kiss as she keeps telling me to watch Yuri On Ice and Erased as I only laughed and told her I'll do it after I'm done watching Kamisama Kiss. We soon got into her house as I was greeted by my aunt and and uncle as I smiled and nodded. Aunt Diana and Uncle Dante got a divorce so now she's with Uncle Travis who got a divorce with Aunt Katelyn as Aunt Katelyn is still looking for someone. Uncle Dante got married to Aunt Nicole now as they have a child. (Man that was a lot)
