"Now go get em Ricky" he said parting his shoulders

"You sound like my wingman" he yelled to his dad as he used his crutches to walk away

"That's because I am! Goodluck! I'm rooting for you and Matilda" he dad said playfully causing Eric rolled his eyes as he entered the gymnasium

Eric walked inside as he was greeted by Mr. Clarke. "Evening, Maverick." he smiled as he crossed the boy's name from a list in front of him.

"Hello mr Clarke" He replied walking further into the room as he saw all the people already talking with each other.

Eric looked around and eventually his eyes connected with some blue ones on the other side of the room.

"Dude minus the boot you look awesome" Lucas commented

"Thanks, that was the plan." He said using his crutches to do a spin

They all laughed and Eric's eyes were quickly draw to the redhead

"Sucks that you hand to wear a cast." Max said

"Yeah but you guys signed it so I guess it's cool, only thing is I can't play basketball for 3 more months which sucks"

"Hey Ricky can I borrow you real quick" Lucas spoke and Eric nodded his head following Lucas to a place away from the party and other listening ears

"Look you when I asked you to lay off Max a bit. Ignore me, I see the way you look at her and the way she looks at you. Plus I'm sorta getting to know this other girl, her names Starr and I think I really like her so. I'm not hung up on max anymore."

"I don't- what-I don't like her like-" Eric stuttered trying to formulate his sentences

"Eric," Lucas said placing his hands on his shoulders "just shut the fuck up and go get your girl, but just to let you know, I would like to be best man at your wedding"

Eric laughed but Lucas looked dead serious shutting him up quickly

"Oh shit your serious" he asked

He continued to stare at him with a neutral expression

"Yeah got it, best man Lucas" they said doing their handshake
The two made it back to the party and everyone had gone off to dance with a partner Max stood their alone looking sad and Eric with his boot walked towards her

"Hey Max, you pretty look good- I-I mean you look pretty good today. Not that you don't always look good of course" he said deciding the close his mouth before he said something stupid

"Thanks you look good too stalker" she said

Maverick took a deep breath and asked"Do you, maybe, like, wanna dance with me?"

Max looked a little shocked at first, but then the events that happened previously came rushing back

Eric had told her he liked her back in the hub but the problem was he was under the control of the mind flayer but was it the mind flayer or was it Eric

"How about this, I'll dance with you if you sing tonight" She replied smirking

"Maxxx" he groaned "please let me off I'm in a boot and crutches" he said basically begging her

"Nope, just head over to that guitar and show everyone what you showed me." She said "and then I'll dance with you"

Eric sighed in defeat knowing there was no way he was gonna change her mind so in his boot he walked over to the guitar

He picked it up and walked onto the stage

Many people had now gathered around to see what he was doing.
