James's POV
"So, you're allowd to go to the dance now, huh?" I ask Riley.
"Um, yeah." She replies.
"So since you're going now, do you want to go with me, like, as my date?" I ask nervously. I see her smile a little, making me smile too.
"Yeah, I'd really like that." She replies.

"Um, want to head down to Squeezed with me and Eldon after practice?" I ask Riley at the cubbies.
"Um, maybe next time." She replies.
"Are you sure?" I whine.
"Yeah, I'm sorry." She sighs.
"Okay." I sigh too. I really wanted her to come. The dance was Friday and I wanted to hang out with her before than.
"Hey James!" The guys call out, motioning me to come over.
"Yeah, I'm coming!" I call back.
"Talk to you later?" I say, turning to Riley.
"Yeah, sure." She says with a small smile. I stare at her dreamily for a few more seconds before trotting over to the guys.
"Guess who's going to the dance with Riley?" I say proudly.
"I though you didn't like her and you only felt sorry for her." West inquires.
"That was in the last man. All that matters now is that I'm going to the dance with Riley." I reply happily.

Riley's POV
I smile giddily to myself as I took a glance at James. Whenever I'm around him, I get this weird feeling that I can't even describe. He made me feel special.
