Change Your Ticket

It's the next morning. Today is Thursday and the boys have a soccer game against Raditch Prep after school. I get up and carry Stella into her room. I tuck her back in her bed and leave a kiss on her head before I go. I walk to the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. After the bathroom I go to my room to pick out an outfit for the day. I choose ripped blue jeans and an orange tank top. I put on Steve Madden sneakers and my jewelry. After I spray on perfume I head to the bathroom and put in my contacts. I manage to also apply my mascara and lip gloss before heading downstairs for breakfast. 

After breakfast I go outside to see Cole and Cami parked out front. I get in the back seat and put on my seat belt and we drive to school. When he parks I get out of the car and walk straight to my locker. Cole and Cami were holding hands walking in. I open my locker and get my books out. I close my locker and walk over to Dylan's. "Ready for the game" he says shuffling through books as I lean against a locker. "I don't know" I say jokingly. He laughs as he closes his locker and we walk to class. 

"So you know the dance is coming up" he notes.

"I totally forgot, is that next week?" I ask sarcastically. 

"Next Saturday to be exact" he says stepping in front of me "And you're coming with me." 

I smile "Dylan I don't even know if I'm going yet." 

"Nope you're going" he says letting me enter the classroom first. We take our seats "I already bought the tickets." 

"Your not going to let me say no are you" I say as I open my book. Cami walks in and takes her seat. 

"Whose not saying no?" she asks. 

"Dylan want us to go to the dance next Saturday" I say looking at Cami. 

She smiles "Lizzie we're going" she says certain. "Wait so is Dylan your date?" 

I lightly laugh "Just as friends, right Dylan?" I turn to him. 

He coughs "Uh yeah...... of course, friends" he says just before the bell rings. 

After class I'm walking to my locker when Luke shows up. "What do you want Luke" I say unamused. "Okay Elizabeth I have to confess something, I'm madly in love with you" he says with a cheesy smile. "Well good luck with that" I say closing my locker and walking forward. He follows beside me "So I got us these." He waves two white tickets to my face. "Tickets to the dance?" I say confused. "Yep and you're my date" he says and I laugh. 

"Luke I can't go with you."

"And why not?" 

"First off, you're like Tom's best friend and also I don't like you" 

He laughs "anything else?" 

"Oh yeah and I can't date you"

"It's okay you have my blessing" he says with a smirk and I roll my eyes.

"Funny you think I would even want to" I remark. 

 "So what time should I pick you up?" he says as he walks backwards in front of me. 

"How about never, does that sound good for you?" I respond turning the corner "Bye Luke."

After paying for my food in the lunch line I walk to the lunch table. Violet looks up at me "So you and Luke huh" she remarks. 

"What about him?" I say confused.
