The following Friday was homecoming. She came in with her dair hair in all curls in her ponytail. Natasha pulled her into the bathroom "Let me fix you up." She said as she fixed her make up and added some glitter to her hair.

"Natasha..' she whispered.

Natasha added "Go Panthers" to her cheek. Then on her other cheek she drew a football that said "HOCO '19,"

"All done." Natasha said

"I was. What took you so long?" He said

"Natasha." She said

"Oh anyways. What are you doing after the game tonight?" Bucky said

"Going home" she said

"Come to the dance with me?" He said

"Buck.." she said

"Just as friends Maisie. Come on it will be fun." He said

She chewed the inside of her lip. She sighed and said "fine."

"Great..so text your mom so she knows that you have plans for tonight. And I will see you later" he said

"Yeah" she said

She texted her mom that she was going to the dance. Lydia was so excited she called the school to see what kind of dance it was. Once she knew it was semi formal she called her sister in law Stacy.

"Baby this is your first dance." Lydia said

"Your birthday?" She said

"No...you know when my birthday is. My mom always invited the whole class." He said

"Actually I don't." She said

"My birthday is in March. But anways I will bring you the thing on Monday. And I hope you come to it." He said.

"Okay." She said

That Monday she opened her locker a orange folded up piece of paper fell out.

She opened it up to read.

She let out a laugh at the blanket. She flipped it over to read.

"Valerie said she has clothes for you..and she can bring you. -Bucky"

She bit her lip and put the flyer in her backpack.
