Flashback - 8th Grade

Briana POV
My alarm goes off, marking the start of my day.

I immediately wake up and go to get ready.

Looking in the mirror, I smile at myself in excitement.

Today is the day of the 8th grade dance.

I put on some baggy jeans and a t shirt, pairing them off with the same vans I wear everyday.

Brushing my hair, I leave it down.

My dad calls me to let me know he's outside to take me to school.

Grabbing my bag, I run out, jumping into the passenger seat of his truck.

Most of the ride is filled with comfortable silence, just like any other day.

Once he pulls up to my school, I say bye to him and get out, walking through the front doors.

Today's going to be a good day.

I walk into my first class of the day, math.

Immediately, I see Asher and Adelina there, them both being in my home room.

I smile and sit with them at our table, since all the desks were taken.

Our other friends, Paulina and Ani, were also sitting there.

"What's up guys!" I smile.

They all say hey.

"You guys excited for the dance tonight?" Ani asks.

"You have no idea." Paulina laughs.

"I wish I was." Adelina groaned.

"I still can't believe they won't let you go because of the amount of times you got in trouble this year. I was really hoping to have fun with you there." I sighed.

"I know! It's so unfair!" She huffed out.

I look over to Asher.

"Hey, when is your mom picking me up?" I ask.

Asher and I agreed to go together as friends if he hadn't gotten a date by the time of the dance.

It didn't work out with the girl he had originally asked.

They both got into a huge argument and she tried to get him jumped.

It wasn't pretty.

So now I'm going with him, and I'm super excited.

I really like him, and I plan on confessing tonight.

"We should get there around 7." He said.

"Awesome, I already told my mom so she's ok with it."

He nodded.

"I'm so glad you two are going together, you'll be the cutest pair there." Ani teases.

I giggle and shake my head, "we're only going as friends, but we'll definitely have a lot of fun."

Asher nodded in agreement.

Adelina whispers in my ear, "Are you finally going to do it?"

I nod and whisper back, "hopefully I don't change my mind."

We both giggle and squeal.

For the rest of class, we all continued to laugh and talk about the dance.

Lunch eventually came around.

I sat at a table with the girls, like always.

Asher would sit somewhere else with the boys.
