After watching our fourth movie, Tyler tugged on my sleeve gently and nodded towards the kitchen.
I stood up and started walking towards it; he followed.
"What's up?"
"Uh Riley, I need to ask you something. I know it's kinda a weird time but I've been wanting to know for wh-"
"Tyler, just spit it out!" I laughed, hoping he would just get to the point.
"Will you go on a date with me?" He asked sheepishly
I looked up at him in shock and froze.
A date?
I haven't been on a date since 10th. I cringed just thinking about it.
FLASHBACK
I couldn't keep the smile off my face.
This is the day I've been waiting for.
The guy I've had a massive crush on since 5th grade, asked me, to the winter dance.
My crush, AKA Adam, was picking me up in two hours, and I needed to get ready.
"C'mon Riley! We need to get you ready!" Ally squealed.
My other bestfriend, Brenda, brought all her makeup and stuff for my hair.
I was scared for what they were gonna do, but I let my bestfriends of two years do their work on me.
After an hour an half of applying, pulling, plucking and spraying, they allowed me to put my dress on.
This dress.. it was the most gorgeous thing I had ever laid my eyes on.
It was a dark, navy/midnight blue, down to the floor gown.
It had a slit in the leg that stopped mid thigh, showing off my long legs.
I absolutely adored it.
After, slipping it on, my two bestfriends gasped. I looked up at them confused but they just gestured at me to look in the mirror. I walked infront of it, and when I looked up, I nearly choked.
There's no way this is me.
The dress stuck to my 'curves' in all the right ways, showing off my flat stomach. The black pumps made my legs look longer, my long dirty blonde hair was curled and my bangs were pushed to the side.
My makeup was very minuscule. Black winged eyeliner and some white eye shadow, barely any blush and some lip balm.
I stared at myself in the reflection. I looked amazing.
I rushed to hug my bestfriend, catching them off guard.
"Thank you! You guys are so incredible." I exclaimed.
Brenda opened her mouth to say something, but was cut off by the doorbell. We all looked at eachother with wide eyes.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go get him!" Ally almost shouted.
I hurried as fast as I could to the door as opened it widely,
Light brown hair tousled on his head, big green eyes glimmering, pink plump lips turned up into a smirk.
"Hey Adam." I breathed.
"Riley hey. You look hot. Ready to go?" He held his arm out and I nodded eagerly.
Adam chucked as he lead me to the limo, where several other couples were waiting. I climbed in and smiled at everyone.

The music was so loud, you could feel the vibrations from outside.
Adam took my hand and lead me inside.
The excitement was bubbling inside me, but immediately died down once I saw her.
There stood Nicolette Rivas, my archenemy.
She was wearing a super short, hot pink dress and she was sporting her overly powered face with 'pride'.
As soon as Nicolette saw me, she smirked and sauntered her way over.
"Hey Adam." He looked her over and winked on approval.
I cleared my throat and Adam wrapped his arm around my waist, but still gave her a smirk like he knew something I didn't.
I pushed the feeling away. Tonight was supposed to be a good night.
"Babe, I'll be right back."
My heart fluttered, but then felt empty as Adam walked away from me, into the crowd. I went and sat on a chair on the side, thinking he was using the restroom.
That thought left my mind as almost an hour went by, I was fumming.
I was already up and waking towards the door when a hand caught mine.
"Hey, I'm so sorry. I saw the boys and we started chatting and I lost track of time." He gave me a small smile and I automatically gave in.
I nodded in forgiveness.
"Let's dance."
I dragged him to the dance floor and a slow song came on.
Adam wrapped his arms around my waist as mine went to his neck.
We were looking into eachothers eyes, leaning closer to eachother. It was way too intense.
As soon as his lips touched mine, a slimy substance dropped onto my head and down my body.
I gasped and pulled away, looking down at the green slime that was dripping onto the floor.
I looked up with tears in my eyes and saw everybody laughing at me, including Adam who had his arm around Nicolette.
It was a setup.
He never liked me.
I ran out of there and walked home in the freezing cold, tears streaming down my face.
From that day on, I lost faith in the male species.
FLASHBACK OVER -
"Uh Tyler, I don't know." I swallowed nervously.
"Please, just one date, then we will see how it goes from there. Think about it?"
I agreed to tell him my answer tomorrow night.
We walked back into the living room and what I saw made my stomach twist.
Becky was on Sam's lap, and they were in an intense make out session. My fist tightened as i sat down, turning to Tyler.
"You know what, I'd love to go on a date, Tyler."
