The Jock Wants The Nerd

TWENTY-ONE

Lucas Kevinski

"You're not going to prom?"

"No, I already told you that I'm spending the night with your brother" I chuckled and sat down at our table in the cafeteria.

"This is crazy"

"It's not, we both agreed not to go to prom" I scoffed

"Then why would he ask you if he doesn't wanna go?" asked Larsa

Then I realized that when Matthew asked to prom, he looked serious about going, and I just said no. Maybe I hurt his feelings. Without answering Larsa's question, I jumped up and walked over Matt's table.

"Baby, can I talk to you?" I asked, he nodded and we stepped into the hallway for a little privacy.

"What's up?"

"Earlier today, you asked me to prom, and I said no" I started

"Okay, yeah I remember that" he smirked

"Baby, if prom means that much to you, let's drop our plans and go to prom"

"Lucas, I'd do anything to make you happy, you wanna go to prom, let's go to prom, if you want to spend time with me, away from prom, let's do it" he assured me with his hands on my shoulders

"Thank you, love you" I gave him a hug

"I love you too" he said and we went back into the cafeteria.

"So?..." asked Larsa

"We're not going to prom". I said

"So I'm just gonna have prom without my best friend?" Larsa scoffed

"Uh huh, and I'm gonna have some private time with my boyfriend" I grinned

"But you always have private time"

"You're soooo not gonna change my mind in this, anyways so last I thought maybe, just maybe...we could go to an island after graduation" I suggested

"Which one?"

"I don't know but I love Palawan, it's in the Philippines" I said

"Yeah, just us though, you, me, Matt, Ross and Jackson" she clarified "No old people"

"Yeah" I nodded

"Perfect"

Later that day, Matt and I went home, ate lunch and then went to the rehabilitation hospital. A few hours later, he finally made up his mind to go to his parents' house and talk to them. And while they were downstairs, Larsa and I went to her room...

"So, he started rehab huh?" she asked

"Yeah, it went well though" I assured her and laid back on her bed.

"I thought he'll be disrespectful and rude, but he was amazing" I nodded in approval

"I'm very happy that my brother met someone like you"

"Thank you Larsa" I grinned

Soon we were joined by Matt, he walked into the room and laid in top of me.

"Larsa, would you please be kind and excuse us, we're about to make a baby" he murmured and I burst out with laughter

"Oh fuck no, use your room" denied Larsa disgusted

"We're just kidding" he chuckled "I'm moving back in"

"That's good" said Larsa

"Great, now I have to sleep cold again" I sighed sarcastically

"Don't worry baby, I'll still visit. Thanks for letting me stay at your house though"

"You're welcome" I grinned

"So, Lucas had the best idea ever. He says we, as in you, me, him, Ross and Jackson, take a trip after graduation to Palawan" said Larsa

"Sounds amazing baby" he kissed my forehead "Just know that I'll be taking you on that trip"

"You like to take advantage of other people's ideas" Larsa pointed out.

"No, what I mean is, it was his idea and I'd love to pay for it" Matt corrected

"Oh my God Matt" I scoffed in disapproval

"No baby, I insist"

"No, you keep doing this. For our second month anniversary, you bought me a gold wristband, that's already over the top" I exclaimed

"Are you trying to say something or just be unthankful?" he asked with a deep and serious tone.

"I'm very thankful for what you've done for me, I really am, you don't allow me to do things for you" I said

"Okay, you take me on a date tonight, but I really wanna help you paying for this trip"

"Okay, I'll take you on a date tomorrow and you can help me pay for our trip" I agreed

"You two are so... adorable to watch, your arguments and like...two minutes long then there's peace. You're perfect for each other" said Larsa amazed

"Thank you"
