"Last Waltz" (Dance lesson part 2)

After that first lesson EJ gave to Ricky on the rooftop, they did a few more during the week and on some of the days of the next week, however they were all on the auditorium now, so that they wouldn't risk another situation that involved rain.

Ricky was now more confident about dancing a waltz if necessary, but wished he was confident enough to ask EJ to the prom with him, since the memory of EJ leaning in when he did in the rooftop kept playing. But he had three reasons as to why he didn't do it:

1.- EJ was one of the nominees for prom king, and he didn't want to feel awkward if EJ won prom king and then having to dance with whoever won prom queen.

2.- He thought that maybe it would be better to just go with his friends as a group, so he could be constantly distracted and not focus on EJ and instead have fun with his friends.

3.- He wasn't even sure if EJ actually liked him, since the only point he had was him leaning in to kiss him when they were on the rooftop, but aside from that, he had no other reason to believe EJ actually liked him as well.

And now, prom was just a few hours away, and Ricky was just laying on his bed constantly reminding himself about how he would need to get up at some point and change clothes before he went to the prom, but also kept thinking about something else...

Ricky: *still thinking about the almost kiss* ...but why would he lean in when I was doing it? does that mean that he actually likes me? *talking to himself* ...no, he probably doesn't, he never brought it up in the lessons that came after that one... but then again, he probably didn't bring it up to not make me feel uncomfortable or embarrassed... although-

His train of though was suddenly interrupted as there was a knock on his door.

Ricky: come in dad! *says looking at the roof*

???: I'm not Mike *chuckles*

Ricky: oh, what's up Red? *sits on his bed*

Big Red: do you think you could help me with choosing a suit? *says holding three different suits*

Ricky chuckled and then stood up looking at them, he may not be an expert like Kourtney, but when it comes to his best friend, it was a fairly easy job to do.

Ricky: this one *hands him a suit* because even though Kourtney didn't go to homecoming, Carlos did and I'm sure he would make a comment if you went with the same one from homecoming (I will not look up images of suits, so instead, just imagine him with the suit for Red Means Love... which means, imagine Ashlyn with the dress from Red Means Love)

Big Red: thanks man *grabs the other suits* hey, do you wanna come to my house to pass time? you could change there and then we go to the school for the prom.

Ricky: sure, just let me tell my dad about it and we go.

Big Red nodded and went with Ricky to tell Mike about it, he nodded and soon enough the two left with the suits and made their way towards Big Red's house, where they played videogames before Big Red's mom went to the basement to tell them that they should go change already.

They grabbed their suits and changed into them, Ricky left his other clothes in a bag and told Red he would come for them later to which he nodded. They made their way upstairs and Big Red's parents were already taking pictures or videos of them, which did cause them to whine about it a little bit, but soon decided to let them take as many as they wanted.

Eventually, they heard a knock on the door and Big Red went to open it, finding his girlfriend on the other side wearing a red dress, and he was left speechless. He let her in, Ricky said hi to her and complimented her, which she thanked, alongside Big Red's parents who asked if they could take pictures of her and Red.
