Her

6. He Wants To Ask You Out

"Payton, what's on your mind?" Lily asked.

Payton sat bored to death in the empty music room, she turned her head and ran a hand through her hair, "Hmm?"

"Something's on your mind." Lily muttered. "What's up?"

"Im vengeful." she smiled and winked at the blonde. "No dumass," Lily said, sllightly annoyed, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing. Well...." she trailed off as the door opened and in walked Matt and Jacobs. "Payton," Matt said.

"What's up?" she said, sitting up with a smile.

"Got something to tell you." Jacobs told her.

"I'm listening," she said; Lily looked at Matt and smiled, she twirled a piece of her hair in her finger and watched his every move.

"Derek wants to talk to you, he's by the lockers."

"Seriously?" Payton's eyes narrowed and she got up, "Might as well." she muttered and walked out.

"Hi Matt." Lily said and waved, he turned to her, "Hey Lilly, wow- um, you look great."

"Aw thanks, you two. I love the color blue." she sighed dreamily and looked at him, his abs somewhat showing through the shirt her wore.

"What is it Hale?" Payton asked as she neared the lockers and saw Derek wore the same smile that made her heart leap. "Lahey," Derek said. "You gonna talk, or am I going to stand here all day?" Payton asked, crossing her arms at him. "So there's this girl," he continued, "and I like her...and she doesn't even know I exist."

"Okay, and that's my problem how?" she flipped some curls over her shoulder and looked at him.

"Payton, will you please go out with me?" he asked.

Payton made a face, "Make a basket in the gym and I'll go on a date with you." she said, with slightly red cheeks.

"Pick you up at eight tomorrow night," Derek said and ran to the gym. Laying sighed and ran after him, her sneakers squeaking on the floors.

"So let me get this straight." Lily sat on the edge of Payton bed as she placed around her room. "He asked you out, you said yes, but only if u made a basket, which he did."

"I don't know what I was thinking!" Payton exclaimed, lacing back and forth, he hands on he head in frustration.

Lily smiled and walked over to her closet, "Do you own anything girly?" She asked, slumping her shoulders and shuffling though the clothes. "I want you to look good." She said and pulled out some shorts, "these are cute. Let's just find you a top, some shoes and I can do your hair."

Payton turned to look at her, "You'll help me get ready?" She asked, her hands coming down.

"Of course! Your like my best friend now! And if Derek wants to go on a date with you, you've got to look undeniable."

Payton smiled, "Thanks Lil."

"That's what I'm here for!" Likh smiled and hugged her tightly. "Let's get you dolled up."
