Chapter 35
Riker POV
I spun Rydel out to the right, and waited for the other girl to come to me. When I saw who my new partner was, my mouth fell wide open, and I covered it with my hand, and froze completely.
"Riker!?"
"K-Kat!?"
Kat bit her lip, looked down, and stood completely still, just like me. She looked really nervous, upset, confused, and in shock all at the same time. I could tell she was thinking a million things at once, unlike me. Only one thing came to my mine. Dance with her.
"K-Kat?" I asked nervously.
I could feel my heart pounding inside of me. Kat just stood there, still looking at the ground.
"Kat? Can I… Can I have this dance?" I asked, holding my hand out to her.
Instead of taking my hand, Kat practically threw herself into my arms. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and leaned her head against my shoulder, as I wrapped my arms around her as well. We slowly swayed back and forth to the song.
"YES!"
I turned around to see who had shouted. Rocky, Ross, Rydel, and Cody were all staring at us with huge smiles on their faces. I laughed to myself and turned my attention back to Kat. I hadn't realized until now that she was crying.
"Kat?"
She wouldn't look at me. Some of her makeup was running down her cheeks with her tears. I gently wiped it off with my thumb.
"Kat?" I tried again.
"I can't do it."
"Do what?"
"I can't wait a whole week."
"What are you talking about?"
"I love you."
"What?"
"Riker Anthony Lynch. I need you to listen to me. I love you. So much. I don't need any more time to realize that. It was stupid for me to break up with you. I should've believe you. Please. Please take me back.
My mouth fell open again for the second time tonight? What do I say!?
