ever since i met you - lumax

the snowball.

the song I provided for this chapter includes swear words, just a heads up.

Lucas POV.

I walk into school with Mike and Dustin, Will isn't feeling much better. We walk into the hallway, and it's covered with posters for the annual winter dance, the Snowball.

"You're gonna ask Eleven, right?" Dustin asks Mike.

Mike turns red and fidgets with his fingers. "I mean I can try." he responds. Mike turns toward me, "And what about you, mister flirty?" Dustin and him both smirk at me.

"What are you guys talking about?" I ask. "We saw you hug Max when Mike and I were leaving Will's." Dustin says. My face turns hot, "You guys.. saw that?" I ask.

"Yep! The whole hug." Mike says, "You gonna ask her or not?!"

"I really don't know. She's giving me mixed signals. I may not even go anyways." I reply.

"You have to come! I mean, you can just sit with me on the bleachers." Dustin says, giving me a reassuring smile.

"Sure man." I pat him on the back and laugh. The bell rings, and we all head toward Mr. Clarke's room.

Max is already in the classroom. Ugh, Mike is so lucky to be able to sit right next to her.

- time skips to end of class -

Mr. Clarke yells his usual final comments, "Goodbye everyone! Be sure to complete your homework!"

Max POV.

Omg. I can not believe I slept some of the class again! "We had homework?" I say to myself.

"Yeah, we did. Ah. Classic Max." Lucas is now next to me. He rolls his eyes playfully. "It was actually kind of a hard lesson today. You think you'll be awake later?" he laughs. "I mean, what I was trying to say was, since it was kind of a hard lesson, umm." he pauses and adjusts his bandana.

"What are you trying to ask me Lucas? I don't have all day!" I tease him.

"Do you.. you know.. maybe wanna.. yeah?" he asks, looking at me intently.

"Lucas, ah. Classic Lucas." I say, teasing him with the words he used with me earlier.

"Fine! Do you wanna maybe come over so I can help you with the lesson?" he finally manages to spit out.

"Sure Lucas. What a gentleman. I actually gotta get to class now, see you later Lucas." I give him a small side hug and run off to class.

AHHH! Is a date? No Max, he offered to help you with homework. But at his house! What?! Why am I being such a girly girl right now. Great, now this is all I can think about.

Lucas POV.

"Guys wait up!" I call to Dustin and Mike.

"What's up with the big smile hmm?" Mike teases me.

"So, I may or may have not been the smoothest person ever." I say as I flip my jacket collar up, and put a smug look on my face. Oh yeah Lucas, you're so cool. What am I even doing.

"What did you do this time? And quit it with the jacket collar, honestly Lucas we can't take you anywhere." Dustin says.

"I invited Max over since she slept through the lesson again. I'm helping her with homework." I say.

"Dude! That's perfect!" Mike says. "You can ask her to the Snowball dance then!" he whisper yells.

I shrug and head off to class.

AHHH! hope you guys are enjoying this so far.
