-One month later-

Today was the day of the Snowball.

I was getting ready. I was pretty nervous, not gonna lie.

I was nervous because I decided that I was gonna ask Will to dance.

Yes, I can already foresee that it's gonna be awkward.

But, hey, if you want something, you gotta make a move on it.

I'm not gonna tell him I like him just yet, because I'm still not ready for that, but for now we're just taking baby steps, all right?

Nothing more than a cheesy school dance for now.

I grabbed a small purse to go with the aesthetic.

I walked out, and my family was sitting on the couch, and their attentions all turned to me.

"Aww, sweetie, you look stunning!" My mom said, getting up. "My baby's all grown up already!" She said, wrapping her arms around my head, and pulling my face to her chest.

"Mom, you're smearing my makeup," I said. "Thanks, though. But I'm only still in 8th grade," I smiled.

"You got a date to the Snowball?" My dad asked, sipping some coffee.

"You're drinking coffee at 8:00?" I asked.

"It's decaf," He responded. "But do you have a date?"

"Um..." I said, trying not to spill.

My family already likes to tease me about my crush on Will, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to spill.

"I bet Will's taking her out!" Kyle said, giving me the evil grin.

I just gave him the death glare as he giggled evilly.

"Yeah, I bet they wanna suck face somewhere—" Nick started.
