Chapter 6: Chances
As Lucas stood there waiting for me to give him an answer, I looked around for any sign of Charlie. Then I looked at Maya and she nodded at me and showed me the ring on her finger. She would use the "ring power" on me. I looked back at Lucas and he still had his arm out, waiting for me to link my arm with his. I sighed. "Why not." I said as I got up and we walked to the dance floor.
Lucas's POV:
I was glad that Riley decided to dance with me, I had a lot I needed to say. I pulled her close to me, as she wrapped her arms around my neck, and I wrapped my arms around her waist. I couldn't speak for a moment there. Riley looked so beautiful underneath the lights. But I had to respect the fact that she chose Charlie over me and I remember what her father had told me. I had my chance. But when Riley said yes, I knew I could convince her to give me another chance. I just needed to explain everything to her. "Riley, are you ever going to let me explain myself? I know were not together, but you know how I feel about you, you already know that every time Missy comes around me, it's always bad timing because you never see what fully happens." I said. "You have until this song is over." She said. "When I felt someone wrap their arms around me, I hoped that it was you, instead of Missy. I had spent that whole day thinking about you, I kept thinking that you would choose Charlie over me again and you did. Then I saw you standing there, why were you standing there?" I asked. "I was about to say yes to you, but when I saw you with Missy, I changed my mind. I thought I was too late." She said. "You weren't. I actually went to your apartment earlier, I showed up with a corsage and everything and your dad had told me you had already left." I said.
Riley looked at me, with sadness in her eyes. "I had no idea." She said. "Why can't we start over? Let's leave this dance and go somewhere we can be alone." I said. "Lucas, I came here with Charlie. We should be just friends for now and see where it goes." She said. "So you're basically saying we should start all over?" I asked. "Yes, besides Missy would be very disappointed if you left her tonight, especially since it's obvious that you guys already won prom king and queen." She said. The song ended and Riley walked back to her table, leaving me alone on the dance floor.
Riley's POV:
I didn't know what to do anymore, I have feelings for Charlie and I still have feelings for Lucas. But I didn't know who to choose. I walked back to the table and Charlie was sitting there talking to Maya and Brandon. "Hey, where did you go?" Charlie asked. I didn't want to lie to him. "I was dancing with Lucas. Please don't get mad. I owed him one." I said as I sat down. "Don't worry, I understand." Charlie said as he gave me a smile. It was now time for them to announce prom king and queen. We all stood up and walk towards the stage.
The principal walked up the podium and opened the envelope. Lucas was standing next to Missy, well more like she forced him to. I looked over at him and he was already looking at me then I looked at Missy and she was fixing her hair and makeup. "Alright students, your prom queen is… Missy Bradford!" he said. Missy faked her reaction and pretended to be surprised. She already knew she was going to win anyways. "And your prom king is… Lucas Friar!" the principal said. Everyone was cheering. But Lucas just stood there. He kept looking back and forth at me and Missy. When he looked at me again, I smiled and said "Aren't you going to get your crown?" I asked. He smiled and shook his head. "No, I'm going to get the girl." He said as he walked over to me, grabbed me by the face and pulled me into a deep kiss. All of a sudden I didn't feel just butterflies, I felt electric bolts through my body. I felt everything in that moment. The kiss was perfect. Missy's jaw dropped along with the principal and Charlie stormed out of the gym. We finally pulled apart, "Let's get out of here." he said. Everyone cheered as we walked out of the gym with our arms around each other.
So I'm debating if I should do a sequel to this or a sequel for other story, "And they lived happily ever after" if you haven't read it, I suggest you do because it's way better than this one. I also have another story coming up called "Girl meets senior year" it's not your average girl meets senior year story, and you'll see what I mean I post the first chapter. So follow me, and tell me what you guys thought about the ending! I'm sorry if it has been a little confusing. I had a hard time writing this but please give me your feedback and stay tuned for more stories to come, you are going to love them xx
