Battle of Hearts

Chapter 26- The Best

Girls usually wait for prom. That's most awaited event of their high school life. But for Ally that event would be a date with Jake. Well, technically it wasn't a date.Although she was assuming it was. She was being too optimistic about it. So when he called her a day later, she was on cloud nine. That phone call proved she wasn't dreaming it. Again.

"So… The party starts at 8 on 23rd. Is that okay?" He had asked.

"Absolutely perfect." She said. The hope of going on a date was bubbling inside.

"Well… Umm… Do you want me to pick you?"

"Sure."  She answered too quickly.

"Haha… Then… I'll come at eight. Be ready and text me your address." He said.

"Okay. See you." They hung up and she couldn't believe that she was actually going out with her crush.That night she literally slept with a smile on her face.

She had imagined the date thousand times before. Although she was wishing they would go out to a quiet place instead of a noisy high school party, she felt lucky just to spend some time with him.

As the 23rd of December arrived, she strolled around her house with a bounce in her steps. Her mother was going to see a sick relative that night and her father was, as always, busy with work. So she was clear on telling about it to her parents. She would probably be home by the time they are back.

The clock crawled to hit seven and she walked to her room. Opening her closet she stared at the pile of clothes. She didn't have any dresses except an old one which her mother forcibly made her buy last year. Even if she had one she wouldn't wear it because she didn't want to spend her night worrying about if it's covering her properly. Her attention for that night was only for Jake. After an excruciating thirty minutes she chose a purple top with a brown leather jacket and her plain blue jeans. She applied a bit of lip gloss and mascara. If it was a normal date she wouldn't even bother but it was a date with Jake he deserved a little effort from Ally.

She put on her brown boots and looked at the clock. It was quarter past seven. She marched downstairs and sat on the couch scrolling through her phone. She saw a text from Cameron. It was delivered at seven when she was occupied with dressing up.

Good luck with Jake today. :-) - C

She read it and felt a smile coming on her cheeks. She was confused about him, but this text contradicted her opinions.

Thank you. :-) - A

She shoved her phone in her pocket at the sound of a car stopping outside her house. She looked out the window to confirm it was him. It was indeed him.

She moved out and locked the door putting the keys in her pocket. With a smile she walked to his car and sat on the passenger seat.

"Hey. You look nice." He said. She wasn't feeling the winter anymore because her cheeks had become so warm.

"Thank you. You look handsome too." As always he was perfectly dressed. His hair were looking smooth and silky falling rightly on his forehead. He wore a white t-shirt with a black leather jacket and dark washed jeans. A beautiful smile was drawn on his face.

"Thanks. So are you ready?" He asked starting the car.

"Never been this ready." She said confidently but in reality her heart was beating like crazy thinking about the possible consequences of the night.

The rest of the ride was fairly quiet. She did glance at him a few times just to make sure that it wasn't a dream.

They reached the party."This is it?" She asked. Nathan Samuels' house was at walking distance from her house.
