  The next morning, I wake up, sit up and it all clues in that what happened with Beau was real. The Janoskian Beau? Really? Then I grab my phone and go on YouTube, I subscribe to their channel and watch the Ellen Dance Dare video, proud that I was there with him. Then Dame knocks on my door. "Lila? You should go grocery shopping. I need lemons." He opens my door and gives me puppy eyes. I roll my eyes and get out of my bed.

  "Luckily, I love you." I say, looking through my closet. It's sunny from what I can tell, and I pickout a blue foral dress and black cardigan. Black flats, keys, and I'm out the door. I drive down town and get out at the farmer's market. I look at the fresh fruit and get Dame 5 lemons. I pay for those and then look at some of the jewelry. I wander around for a few hours, and then come across hand-made dream catchers.

  "Lila!" I look up to see Elli across the outside area where I am, looking at hats. Her curly brown head and brown eyes rush over and give me a hug. "Sorry for ditching you yesterday, who are things?" I smile, and shrug.

  "They're okay," I say grinning. She raises an eyebrow, "Okay, they're fantastic! I met a guy-" She cuts me off.

  "Is he cute? How old? What's he look like? Does he have a brother?" She asks all at once and I laugh at her.

  "Yes, he's very cute, 19, straight brown hair and green eyes, and he has two!" I hold up two fingers, and grin at her. She beams. It's good to actually get your emotions out that you've been keeping in your head.

  "Really?!" She pauses, "What does he look like, again?" I smile, looking over her shoulder at a black car parked on the road, and search it for fun. I realsie who's in the car. Beau, Luke and Jai.

  I narrow my eyes, trying to get a better look. Was that really them? It is, too... "Um, he looks like that." I laugh, pointing at the car, she looks. "Front seat, driver." She squeals.

  "Who's that hunk in the passenger seat?!" I look again.

  "Jai. One of the twins."

  "Wait... There's TWINS?" She grins.

  I nod, "Come on, I gotta see him up close again." I smile, and pinch my arm, I should really try to resist him. I make my way over, he's texting and doesn't notice me. I tap on the window and he looks right up, he smiles instantly, and rolls down the window.

  "Hey beautiful." He winks.

  "My name's Lila." I say and he laughs, shaking his head. Elli pokes me. "Oh yeah, guys, this is Elli. Elli this is Beau, Jai and Luke." I point to them as I say their names.

  "Hey!" Jai speaks up, not to me, but Elli.

  "Hi..." She says, blushing.

  "So," I lean in to whisper in his ears, "We should all get together later, yeah? You guys are a fun time." I say quiet, and he nods, he goes in and kisses my cheek. "When's good for you?" I ask.

  "Tonight. I'll call." He winks, and I turn to see Elli and Jai exchanging phone numbers. I laugh at them.

  "Okay, well I have to take these to my brother." I hold up the lemons. "I'll mingle wiht you later, I say to them all, smiling at Beau a little longer than I should've, and pinch myself again. Resist! I drive home and set the lemons on the counter, "Got you lemons." I yell, and go straight to my room, it's plainess is my comfort. I pick up my phone and call the number Beau gave me.

  "Hello?" He says.

  I resist. "So, what are we doing tonight? I'm thinking I should bring Elli for Jai, yeah?" He laughs.

  "If I wasn't so in love with your voice, I would have no idea who it was." He says.

  "Okay, yeah. What are we doing?" I ask again, trying to sound impatient.

  "There's a dance in the lights park." I freeze, hoping he'll ask me, but pinch myself. Bad! "Wanna go with me?" He asks.

  I close my eyes and sigh, "Okay..." I say quietly.

  "Well, wear a pretty dress." He says, and laughs. Then I hear the dial tone. I hang up and then go to my closet. I know exactly what I'm wearing. I take it out and smile at it. What time is it? I look at my clock, 5. I wonder what time the thing starts? Then I call him again. "Back so soon?" He says.

  "What time does this thing start?" I ask.

  "8, don't worry I'll pick you up.'" He says. "By the way, what's your address?"

  "Nice try. I'll drive myself." I smile to the phone and hang up.

  3 hours is long enough for me to shower, blow-dry, curl and make-up my face. I text Elli and tell her to go to the dance. I have my shower and get out and wrap myself in a huge towel, drying off. I blow-dry my hair and change into my dress. It's strapless and navy. It has a sparkly belt hanging loose on my hips. Cute. I look at the clock, it's almost 7. That took a long time! I curl my hair, and then apply little make-up. I look at myself. I look good! I walk into the kitchen where my brother is cutting the lemons up. He looks up and his jaw drops, I pose. "Wow, sis! Looking good! You going to that dance, too?" He asks, and I realise he's wearing a dress shirt and black pants.

  Now my jaw drops, "You're going!?" I smile, and jump up and down, "Awesome!" I love my brother, and can't wait to see him with a girl. "Awesome!" I say again and he laughs, handing me a slice of lemon. I eat it quietly and Dame drives us to the dance. I see Beau's car and my heart skips a beat. It should really stop doing that. I start walking for the group of people on the wooden dance floor in the center of the park. It's lit up with Chinese lanterns and hanging lights. It's beautiful, and then I see Elli and Jai. They're really close. Jai's wearing a fancy white top, tie and black jeans. But Elli is the show stopper. She's wearing a strapless silky red dress that hugs her body, and her hair is curled and beautiful. All of a sudden, I feel arms around my waist, and I'm being lifted off the ground. I can't tell who it is, so I start kicking.

  "Woah, woah! Lila! It's me, Beau!" I stop kicking and go limp in his strong arms. He sets me down and I spin on my heel to look at him. We aren't quite in the light, but I can stillsee him. He's wearing a navy dress shirt, identical to the colour of my dress and grey dress pants. I smile up at him.

  "Are you a genie or something?" I ask, and he shakes his head. I go on my tippy-toes and kiss his cheek. Regretting it already, I start to head for the lights, with Beau right beside me.
