Selena's POV

A week passed. Alyssa ended up sleeping over on the Monday, but because it was a school night we didn't stay up too late or anything. We'd grown really close over the week and because she was my only friend apart from Meg, I guess she was also kind of my best friend. She was gorgeous as well and I had a slight crush on her. I think she felt the same way for me too though.

I was sleeping at hers tonight as it was Friday. I had Miss. Lovato's lesson last with Alyssa; we were passing notes to each other, jokingly flirting with one another. After a few notes of her calling me beautiful and me calling her hot, I decided to swallow my pride and ask the question that had been playing on my mind for a while.

D'you know what I think? I wrote.

And what would that be baby? ;]

I think that you should let me take you on a date tonight. –ANGEL FACE-

I think I would love to let you take me on a date tonight. ;)

Seriously?

Absolutely. 3

I was about to write back when I felt someone standing in front of me. I looked up at Miss. Lovato and saw her looking down at me and Alyssa disappointedly.

"Note please, Miss. Gomez." She said strictly with her hand out to take the piece of paper we were writing on. I huffed and slammed the note into Miss. Lovato's hand. "I'll see you both after class." She said tiredly. It had been a long week for everyone.

"You'll seriously go on a date with me tonight?" I muttered to Alyssa in her ear. She turned to me to whisper in my ear and I felt her hot breath on my lobe.

"I'd love to. I was going to ask you anyway." She whispered almost inaudibly. Before she moved away she quickly nipped the bottom of my earlobe, sending shivers down my spine.

I blushed deeply and I think Miss. Lovato noticed because she shot us a stern look whilst she read out a poem that one of her other students had written. It was quite a good poem, I probably would have thought it was better had I been listening properly rather than thinking about where to take Alyssa tonight.

I could take her to the movie theatre, they were showing Texas Chainsaw Massacre in 3D, it was a horror and horrors are always good for dates. It was an 18 though because of the 3D so there was no saying we would definitely get in. We could go ice-skating but if I fell over I would embarrass myself. I decided in the end on going for a meal if she wanted to.

The end of class bell sounded and I looked up to see the classroom emptying. Alyssa and I stayed in our seats as we usually did, plus Miss. Lovato wanted to speak to us. Once everyone was gone she picked the note up from her desk and put it on our desk face down.

"Do you want to tell me what it says before I read it for myself girls?" She asked us both as she looked down at the note. The writing was on the table side so she hadn't actually read it yet.

"I asked her on a date and she said yes." I mumbled as I looked down at my fingernails and started picking them off to occupy myself. I shouldn't pick my fake nails off really, they go all sticky from the glue underneath and it hurts slightly because of the strength of the glue Francesca used to put them on with.

"Well then I'm happy for the both of you, but please, no notes in my class whilst I'm speaking. I don't mind you doing it whilst I'm not because I appreciate the fact that if anyone heard what you had written then it would be around the whole school, so please just don't do it whilst I'm speaking." She firmly said. I couldn't help but think that she wasn't completely sincere when she said she was happy for us, but I just brushed it off.

"Sorry Miss. Lovato, it won't happen again." I said apologetically. Miss. Lovato nodded and picked the note up. I took it from her when she offered and stashed it in my bag.

"Right then, let's get you girls outside. Selena I presume you're taking Alyssa home again?" She asked. I was supposed to be going straight to hers but since we were now going on a date I didn't really know what to do.

"I'm not sure, do you want me to drop you at yours then come back to get you at like six or seven?" I asked her unsure of what she wanted to do. We had started walking out to my car followed by Miss. Lovato. She was walking behind us and pretending not to be listening to our conversation, but I knew she was.

"Yeah sure. Then we can stop at mine when we go back if you want." She suggested as we got into the car after I had done the usual security checks.

"See you girls on Monday. Have a good night and behave." Miss. Lovato said through the window with a subtle wink in my direction that Alyssa didn't see, thank god.

"Will do, we'll see you Monday." I said with a wave as I started the engine and drove quickly away from the school, calling a 'bye' behind me at Miss. Lovato.

When I reached Alyssa's street I drove as fast as I could down to her small semi-detached house that I was yet to see the inside of. I hadn't ever been inside because one; I was reluctant to leave my car on its own in the street, and two; I had only ever dropped her off, I was supposed to be seeing the inside tonight.

"I'll pick you up at around half six then." I said to her after she'd gotten out and walked around to my side of the car which was closer to her house. I leant my head out of the window and quickly kissed her cheek.

"I'll see you then." She said with a grin before she went into her house. She was greeted by a small girl hugging her legs, who I guessed was Lucy. Her drive was around a fifth of the size of mine considering they could only fit the one car on there, and you could fit at least six on mine. The house was around one tenth of the size of mine. It wasn't tiny it just wasn't huge like mine. It looked relatively nice though, considering the area it was located.

I drove off quickly, scared that if I stayed for too long my car might get smashed by a drunken guy with a baseball bat or something. I know it's prejudiced to the people that live in the area and the area in general but my mom had her car practically ripped to pieces round here before.

I reached my house ten minutes later. I literally ran into the house and hugged my mom from behind. She was shocked and turned around to hug me back. She chuckled and wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

"Why hello there, what on earth has made you so happy?" She asked after a little while. We were in the living room and she had been standing up, I'm not sure what she had been doing.

"I have a date with Alyssa tonight. It's my first date with a girl. If it works out she could be my first ever girlfriend." I said with a really cheesy proud grin on my face.

"Oh sweetheart, I'm so proud of you. I knew you liked her." She said with just an equally huge grin. I grinned bigger and hugged her tighter.

"I'm worried. I have no idea what to do. I don't know where to take her or what to wear or how to do my hair and makeup. I only have like two and three quarter hours to decide because I told her I would pick her up at half six. Help me!" I said worriedly as I treaded my fingers through my hair and pulled at it.

"Selena honey, chill. I'll call Dana and get her to come round to do your hair, makeup and decide on your outfit. I'll ring up Armando and I'll have him set you up a candle-lit picnic in that secluded area of the park. If I have it ready for nine o'clock then it'll be dark and all romantic. Take her to the cinema or something to start out with. She'll love it and you'll have a great night." My mom gushed as she dialled presumably Dana or Armando.

Ten minutes later Dana was bustling through the door with a huge makeup box in one hand and a just-as-huge box full of hair things in the other hand.

"Right, where is the little beauty who wants to look better than she usually does?" She asked as she hurried through the door and put her things down in the living room next to the chair that had been set out in front of the TV.

"Here I am. I need it done within two and a half hours maximum." I said as I sat in the seat in front of Dana who had already opened her boxes.

"Right then my lovely, head upstairs and wash your hair extremely quickly then we'll get to work. You will be the belle of the ball by the time I'm done with you." She said as she waved me off, up from the seat and up the stairs to my en-suite.

After fifteen minutes my hair was washed but still wet. I ran down the stairs and sat back on the seat. As soon as my bum had hit the surface Dana started plucking and picking at my eyebrows, getting the little stray hairs that had grown since I plucked them a few days ago. She moved onto putting some sort of cleaner onto my face and leaving it there. For the twenty minutes it had to be on she took me upstairs to decide on my clothes. She had always loved my closet.

She decided on a pale pink Chanel dress that was short and had no sleeves. She also picked out a black thin cardigan for over the top and a gold necklace with a bright red ruby in it. I put the clothes on, careful not to get my face cream on them, and then followed her back downstairs. We still had two hours.

It took her forty five minutes to do my make-up, she made my eyes really dark and smoky and I had to admit, I did look great so far. She started on my hair as soon as my make-up was complete.

"Do you want me to cut it whilst it's still wet? I can put highlights in it as well if you'd like?" she asked me as she pulled the hairdryer out of her box.

"Can you just literally trim it then dry it please, I don't want anything major done, just that please." I asked her as she started combing my still slightly wet hair.

After an hour my hair was down and perfectly straight. I had a headband in but it wasn't doing anything, it had diamonds on and was simply there for show. Dana told me to stand up and look at myself in the full length mirror in the hallway. When I did I was shocked that it was actually me.

"Right then; shoes now, they need to be the same sort of colour as your dress or lighter. Strappy and open toed preferably with a small heel." She told me as she scooted me up the stairs. I came back down a couple of minutes later with the shoes that had come with the dress. "Perfect." She said. I put them on and my mom came out of the kitchen.

"Honey you look so beautiful." My mom said with tears in her eyes. She was so emotional. She cried on my first day of high school. She's crying at my first proper date. "Armando set the picnic up in the exact same place we went with your dad a few months ago, right underneath the big tree at the edge of the hill overlooking the village below. You remember where that is, right?" She checked with me as she gave me the once-over for the billionth time.

"Yes I remember, thanks for sorting all this out mom. I love you." I told her as I kissed her cheek softly. "I still have twenty five minutes before I have to go there, I'm going to go the florists and buy her some flowers." I said as I grabbed my white Louis Vuitton clutch bag from the couch which Dana had picked out for me earlier.

I looked inside it and saw my credit card, iPhone, keys and keypad were already in there. My mom or someone must have put them in for me.

"Okay then honey. Have fun and call me if there are any problems. Are you going back to Alyssa's after your date?" My mom inquired to find out what I was doing.

"Most likely, yes. I'll text you to let you know how everything goes. I love you mom, bye." I said before kissing her cheek and heading to the door. "Thanks Dana. I'll see you guys later." I called blowing a kiss and closed the door behind me. I got into my car and drove to the local florists, which was conveniently located on the way to Alyssa's house.

I went into the empty building and the smell of flowers instantly took over my senses. The smell was so beautiful it was almost intoxicating.

It was ten past six but it would only take me five minutes to get to Alyssa's house from the florists. I walked up to the counter and saw a woman in her mid-forties with short blonde hair and a slightly wrinkly face. She had an apron on so I couldn't really see her clothes. She grinned in an over-friendly way when I walked in and walked towards me.

"Good evening, ma'am, may I be of any assistance to you?" She asked me in an overly cheerful voice. I guessed it was to try and make me feel welcome and actually buy something.

"Yes please. I need some flowers, obviously, they're for a first date but we've been friends for a little while. They can't be too flashy; they have to be just right. Do you have anything like that?" I asked her hopefully, not exactly proud of my lame description.

"I assume these flowers are for another woman?" She asked me as we moved further back into the store to the payment desk.

"Yes they are. Do you have anything suitable?" I asked her, looking at the time on my iPhone. I still had fifteen minutes until it was half past six.

"I believe I do. Hold on for just a moment please." The woman asked. She went through a door in the back wall of the building and came back out a few moments later with a bunch of twelve lilies and an orchid in the middle. They were beautifully wrapped and had a pink ribbon around the bouquet at the bottom to hold them together.

"They're beautiful. How much are they?" I questioned as I pulled my credit card out of my clutch bag. They were forty dollars. I paid quickly and walked briskly to my car. I still had seven minutes before I had to pick Alyssa up.

I reached her road and sped down it, partly to make it to her house for exactly six thirty and partly because I was still worried that if I slowed down my baby would be ambushed.

I got there for exactly six thirty and locked my car on my way up her drive, carrying the flowers carefully in my arms.
