Riley's POV
I finally decided that I would come back to dance today. I missed it and everyone. I walk in and everyone screams and hugs me.
"Riley!" Chloe yells.
"We missed you!" Michelle says.
"I missed you guys too, but I kind of can't breath!" I say, struggling out a laugh considering I was being suffocated. They laugh and all mutter a sorry. I look up and James was the only one that hadn't hugged me.
"So, do I get a hug too?" He says. I shake my head and smirk.
"I think you got yours yesterday." I laugh. He doesn't say anything, but hugs me. He holds me tightly.
"I miss you." He whispers. I don't say anything but only hug him back. Because I miss him too.
"Alright everyone gather around." Kate says. "I would like to start off by saying that it's nice to see you again Riley!' Everyone claps and smiles at me. I blush and look down. "And second, I have a few things to do, so you have the day off!" Everyone claps again and goes to get changed and go home.
I start to walk to my bag, when James grabs my wrist and pulls me close to him.
"Do you have any plans?" He asks.
"Well, dance was just cancelled, so no. Why?" I question.
"How about we hang out together for the rest of the day." He suggests.
"You mean, like, alone?" I ask. A weird feeling overcomes me. It wasn't as much nervous, or excited, or afraid. It was more of a combination of all three. Nervous to be around him alone and together again since we broke up, yet excited to be, but also afraid because I hadn't been alone with a boy since Josh. But James would never hurt me like that.
"Yeah." He responds, smiling broadly and taking both my hands into his. I smile and look away slightly.
"Yeah, I'd like that."
