It's been getting a little easier being away from Ross. It's been about a month since I've been home from the trip.

Tonight is homecoming. I'm so excited. I have my dress already and I know how to do my hair. (Pic is her dress&hairstyle)

Sophie and I go get our hair done, then we went back to my house to finish getting ready.

Ross texted me while I was doing my make-up.

'Have fun tonight! Wish I could be there with you.'

"That's weird." I say.

"What?" Sophie asks.

"Ross just texted me. It's 2:30pm in Cali; he should be at the Austin and Ally set still."

"Maybe he took a little break so he could text you."

"Yeah, maybe."

We finish getting ready and we meet up with some of our other friends and go take pictures before the dance starts.

~~

We get to school right at 7, and there's already a lot of people there.

Right away me and Sophie go to the front where the DJ is and start dancing.

Throughout the night, people kept telling me how good I looked and a few guys asked me to dance with them; I said no because I don't want to dance with any guy but Ross.

"If I Can't Be With You" comes on and Sophie and I turn around to walk out of the gym and get something to drink.

When I turn around, Ross is standing there in a white button up and dress pants.

"Oh my gosh." I say shocked while walking up to him and hugging him. "You're here."

We pull back and he leans in and kisses me.

There's a few "awws" coming from the girls that were around us.

"Wanna dance?" He asks me.

I smile.

"Of course."

I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his around my waist and pulls me close to him.

We look into each others eyes as he sings to me.

When the song's over, we leave the gym to go talk for a minute.

"I'm extremely happy that you're here and all, but what are you doing here?" I ask Ross.

"I know how excited you were for homecoming, and I know how much you wanted to go with me, so I made a few arrangements."

We talk for a little bit then go back inside.

"So how exactly do people dance at homecoming?" He asks me over the music.

"Well, if you can't tell by the way everyone else is dancing, most people grind on each other."

We go into the group of people and I start to grind on him.

"You didn't take me as the type of girl to be doing this." He says.

"That's because I'm not really. But I actually have a boyfriend this year, so why not?"

We dance the rest of the night.
