Prom?

A month passed.  Me and Lucas spent as much time as possible together.  It was now late April, and our school prom was in two weeks.  I had a feeling that Lucas was going to ask me to go with him.

I went to Lucas's house on Thursday night, to do homework.  We ended up making out on the couch for an hour, which is what we were doing right now.

He pulled away, catching his breath.  "Well, would you look at that?  I still have science homework," he smiled.

I laughed and snuggled into him.  

"So, you know the prom is coming up?"  He said.

My heart fluttered.  "Yes."

"Well," he got up and went into the kitchen, which was confusing.  He came back holding two cup cakes. He looked pained as he caught my gaze.  As he sat back down, I noticed that they both had writing in icing on them.  One said: Prom?  The other said: Me?

I laughed through the tears that were threatening to spill over.  I nodded, wrapping my arms around Lucas.  He went tense as his arms wrapped around me.  What was wrong with him?  He'd seemed distant lately, but I assumed it was because of all the stress from school.  Was I making it up, or did it seem like he didn't want me anymore?  No.  He wouldnt have asked me to prom.

I thought I heard Lucas whisper something like 'sorry', but I was probably just hearing things.  

We ate the cupcakes, which were chocolate, my favorite.  I found myself loving Lucas even more.  I haven't told him how I felt, but I was going to at Prom.

And I just couldn't wait.
