Twisted Cinderella Story /// L. T.

Chapter 20

*Lacey POV*

 I was still up and couldn't sleep. I looked out my terrace and saw Louis sleeping on the hammock on the balcony. I looked at him once more before I headed back to bed. I remembered his question of how he wants me to go to snow coming with him. I wish I could go with him it's just that I don't really like dances. I have so many reasons why.

 I never really liked dances

I don't like where dresses in front of people

People stare at your butt the whole entire time

I really don't know how to ball room dance or whatever you call it. I dance hip-hop instead.

Again I really hate dances

 Yea so now I'm worried what would happen if I say no. what if he doesn't talk to me anymore? What if he will completely hate me? I think way too much and I talk a lot to myself.

 I had just waked up from rarely any sleep but yet I was still energetic. I hopped out of bed and got ready for school. I still was worried about Louis and I couldn't get him off my mind no matter how hard I tried. I started to realize that I'm starting to develop some feelings for Louis. I am not telling him or anyone. I went downstairs and grabbed a cup of milk and chugged it down.

 "I thought Niall could do that?" Liam was shocked to see me like this. I started laughing so hard.

 "I thought you were anorexic?" Liam asked

 "I am, but if haven't ate in a while I either settle for a bunch of junk food, a glass of milk, or CARROTS!" I shouted.

 "Wow you're worse than Louis!" Liam exclaimed. I giggled for a bit.

 I went to put my cup in the sink when I felt some one touch my bum. Three of them smacked it while one of them pinched it. I turned around and the boys were sitting and acting innocent. I turned around and looked at them and they were all smirking except for Liam he was just shaking his head in disapproval.

 "Ok I know you smacked my bum but which one of you pinched it?" I asked and all looking at them. They all pointed at Louis. I looked at Louis and his cheeks turned bright red.

 "Well thanks for having my backs mates!" he yelled and then left the kitchen.

 "He is upset but he will get over it right away" said Zayn.

 We all got up and put our backpacks on our shoulders. I told the boys I would meet them outside. I went up the stairs and looked for Louis. I saw grabbing his backpack and his phone.

 "You ready?" I asked.

 "Yea and sorry about pinching your bum." He scratched the back of his neck.

 "Its fine" I grabbed his hand and he smiled down at me.

 We walked out from the lobby and went to school. We all went to our lockers and started talking about funny things that had happened in class. We all started laughing really hard. I saw Ally approaching me. Wow I haven't really talked to any of my friends.

 "Hey" she said.

 "Hi, how's it going?" I asked

 "Good, just wanted to see you we haven't talked lately after the fight" she said.

 "I know, I am just trying to keep my distance form Jake but that doesn't mean I will forget about you guys" I said. She pulled me into a hug and we said good-bye to each other.

 "Lacey, can I talk to you?" Louis asked, he looked nervous again.

 "Sure" I replied and the rest of the boys went to somewhere else.

 "About the dance, I really want to know if you would come" he said. I forgot I had to give him an answer.

 "I don't know Louis, I can't go" I looked at my feet and just stared at them.

 "Why not?" he sounded really upset with me now.

 "I just don't want to go to a dance, I never really liked them and I am not planning ever going to a dance" I felt guilty but I just didn't want to go to a dance.

 "Have you ever been to one?" Louis is really getting me mad now.

 "NO! And I'm not planning on now." I yelled. I slammed my locker and Louis just stormed off into a different direction.

 School had finished and Louis and I made no eye contact what so ever. I told him I didn't want to go and he didn't understand. I was getting really frustrated and didn't want to deal with it. I walked into the living room and saw Liam sitting down on the couch watching some weird show. I plopped down on the couch next to him and he looked up at me.

 "I need to talk to you" he said.

 "Um ok" I said.

 "About Louis, he didn't mean to storm off and he is pretty upset. He really likes you and I think he may be in love with you. He told me you don't like dances but he really wants to be with you. He is usually happy and cracking jokes but now it's like he has a broken heart that waiting to be fixed. And not just by any girl, he wants it to be you" When Liam had said this I felt really bad. I can't believe this, I'm such a horrible person.

 "He is still going to the dance and so are we but he said he is not going with any girl" once Liam said this, an idea appeared.

 "Thanks for the chat, Liam. I still don't think I can go" I lied. I am going to surprise Louis and I know he will like it.

 I ran out of the living room and went straight to my room. I went in my closet and looked for a bunch of dresses. I frowned and realized I have no dresses. I sat on my bed and thought for a while. Just then someone knocked on my bedroom door.

 "Hey, how you doing?" asked Cassidy.

 "Good, nothing really" I replied.

 I then explained my plan to Cassidy since she bombarded me with questions. She smiled and said she would be back. She came back in my room with a big white box, when I opened I gasped. It was a white strapless dress that went above my knees and a bit below my butt. It was silky and soft and I absolutely loved it.

 "This used to be mine" she said smiling.

 "Cassidy this is beautiful, thank you so much" I hugged her tightly and couldn't stop smiling.

 "I think he will be surprised not only to see you but to also see you in this dress. I want you to experience love the correct way and I think this will help you accomplish this." She really cared for me as if as was her own daughter. That's how it always felt, Johnny and Cassidy as my parents and I was there angelic daughter... most of the time.

 I was going to experience love tomorrow night and I want it to be great!
