Riley meets first date

Riley
I talked to Maya about the whole thing that happened between Missy and Lucas. Maya looked really mad, but she helped comfort me. We both headed to English and Ms. Paxton came to welcome us.

"Hello Riley and Maya." She said giving us a smile. I was glad to see her smile for the first time. In fact it made me smile. Maya and I both sat down, until then Lucas started to walk in.

"Hi, my name is Lucas, Lucas Friar." He said giving Ms.Paxton a smile.
"Welcome to my classroom Mr. friar. My name is Ms. Paxton and I teach English here." She said shaking his hand.
"It's a pleasure ma'am."

He turned around and came up to us.

"Maya, is it okay if I can have a little chat with you?" He said giving her a begging look. I wonder why he wants to talk to her, instead of me.
"Sure Ranger Rick." She said.

They both headed outside of the door and were whispering. I decided not to eavesdrop, because I know what he wants to say to her.

~1 minuet later~

They both came back in and the bell started to ring. Both of them sat down, and of course Lucas sits right behind me. As Ms. Paxton was about to explain the concept of grammar, Lucas passed me a note. I decided to read it.

~Note~
Lucas: Riley, it was never my intention to kiss Missy. I didn't even expect her to even kiss me. Will you please forgive me!?
Me: I don't know Lucas. We've been knowing each other for one day. I really want to get to know you, but not like that.
Lucas: How about this, you and I go on a date on Friday(tomorrow)?
I can't believe he wants to go on a date with me as I wondered.
Me: I would love that.

~PRESENT~
I can't believe Lucas asked me out on a date! I started to have butterfly feelings in my stomach. I couldn't help, but to smile. Until then the teacher kept on saying my name over and over again to get my attention.
"Riley, RILEY, RILEY, RILEY!! EARTH TO RILEY!"

I snapped out of my thoughts.

"HUH?" I said looking embarrassed.
"Will you tell me what a run-on sentence is?"
"A run-on sentence is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses (complete sentences) are joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunction." I said giving her my answer.
"Thank you Riley. Now please pay attention." She said.

The bell started to ring. It was the same routine as the other class. Lucas waited for me as always while I put my stuff away. I don't even know how Lucas can pack that fast. We both headed out the door and started walking with our heads down, but I can't wait for our date tomorrow.

As I finished talking with Maya, I knew what I have to do to make it up for Riley. I introduced myself to the teacher and sat right behind Riley when I saw her. It looks like she doesn't want to talk to me, so instead I grabbed a scratch piece of paper from my notebook.

If she doesn't want to talk to me, then she can write back to me, which makes it a lot easier for both of us.

As she received the note, she was hesitant to either reply back to me or send it back to me, but she decided to write back. We kept on passing it back and forth, until then I wanted to ask if she would go on a date with me. I was tempted to write the question down, until then my hands started to move and write. I passed it back to Riley. I couldn't help, but to smile when I passed the note back to her.

When she turned around, my thoughts are running through my mind hoping she would say yes. Riley passed the note back and I was anxious, so I started to open the note and I was smiling so bright that she said yes. I noticed the teacher kept on yelling Riley's name over and over to get her attention.
