"Oh my gosh!" Olivia squeals as I slam my locker shut.
"Shh," I hush. "The whole school doesn't need to know."
"I can't believe you kissed! It sounds so magical," she sighs.
"It was," I reminisce.
"What are we talking about?" Lucas pops up from behind.
"Kayla kissed Henry!" Olivia doesn't hesitate to inform him.
"I'm impressed," he approves.
"Was it everything you imagined?" Olivia asks excitedly.
"Was there tongue?"
"Lucas!" I punch his arm.
"What? It's a valid question," he defends.
"You don't ask a respectable lady that sort of question," Olivia shames.
"Fine!" Lucas begins down the hall. "I'll ask Henry."
"So?" Olivia turns to me wiggling her eyebrows. "Was there?"
"Oh, stop," I laugh. "What am I going to do with the two of you?"
"Well, you're going to tell me every detail."
"Nice try," I shake my head. "Speaking of kissing, what's going on with Andrea and Lucas?"
"Oh, that recipe for disaster," Liv snorts. "As far as I know Andrea said he couldn't be trusted and hasn't talked to him since. It's a bit dramatic if you ask me. Did she expect him to give her a list of every girl he's ever kissed? I'm pretty certain they are done for good. I heard she's talking to Tommy now."
"I'm glad to hear that. Lucas deserves a real relationship."
"Yeah, she was totally leading him on," Olivia growls as we head down the hall. She nudges my arm, "Here comes Prince Charming."
"Hey, cutie," Henry kisses my cheek. He holds out two slips of paper.
"What's this?"
"Aw! That's so cute," Olivia squeals, meanwhile I'm still clueless.
"I've got two tickets for the end of the year dance," Henry grins. "Normally I wouldn't be caught dead at a school dance. This year it's a little different because I'd like to show off my beautiful girlfriend. I was hoping you'd accompany me."
"Of course she'll go!" Olivia gushes. I give her a pointed look. If I'm not mistaken, he was asking me. "Right, sorry."
"I'd love to go with you, Henry."
"Great," he wraps his arms around me squishing me against him.
Olivia stares at us longingly. As if I'm cue, Daniel swoops in from behind her waving two more tickets in her face. "I figured we couldn't let them go alone. These two need to be under close supervision."
"Are you asking me to go with you?" Olivia questions with a blank expression.
"Well, yeah," he hesitates nervously. Olivia debates it for a second before attacking him with full force into a giant bear hug.
"Yes! This is going to be so fun!" She yelps. "We need to go dress shopping!"
"Okay, calm down," I say wide eyed. It's a school dance. It's not like we were invited to tea with the Queen. It's not that big of a deal.
"Can we go dress shopping after school? Please," Olivia begs with puppy eyes.
"Already?"
"Everyone bought their dresses weeks ago. We need to go before all the good ones are gone. Please!"
