MAEVE SLOAN FOUND HERSELF IN THE CAFETERIA, SITTING BESIDE HER best friend madelyn cline. meanwhile, her other best friend, shawn mendes was sitting in front of them. as she took a bite of her chicken nugget, shawn spoke up "so, are you going to the snowball dance tonight?" he asks maeve

maeve furrows her brow "ew no, i hate dances" she mutters

"what!" madelyn says in shock "but you said we were gonna go together!"

"go with shawn" maeve shrugs

madelyn looked at shawn who shrugs "only if you want to" he said

she sighs "fine, but maeve you have to go"

"yeah" shawn agrees

"it's not like i have a date" she mutters as she takes another bite of her food

both madelyn and shawn looked at each other with a grin "why don't you ask the new boy?" madelyn wiggles her brows

two tables down from where maeve was sitting with her friends, sat dean salvatore, damian walker, grayson cruise, and olivia walker "you should ask nessa to the dance, she really likes you" damian told the blue eyed blond

"damian!" olivia nudged her brother "nessa told you that as a secret!"

"who cares" he snickers before turning his attention back to dean "just ask her out, problem solved. oh and i call dibs on nova"

dean shook his head as damian was trying to find him a date "i have someone else in mind" he responded as his eyes found maeve giggling at the fact that she stole one of madelyn chicken nuggets. damian follows where dean was looking "i call dibs on maeve" he grins

olivia rolls her eyes "dibs? seriously? what are you guys? nine?"

he scoffs "yeah, good luck with that" a snicker left grayson's lips, as dean looked to damian "maeve doesn't go to school dances, she hates them. plus she doesn't date" he explains as he pats dean's shoulder "just ask nessa, i know what i'm telling you"

as maeve arrived to her six period, she took her seat beside shawn. there were three rows in the classroom, and both best friends sat in the first row, all the way in the back. meanwhile, nessa and another girl named lizzie sat in front of them

"come on, maeve. it's the day before christmas break" shawn continued to try to convince the girl to go to the snowball dance with him and madelyn "i'm sure you know who, might even ask you. i saw him looking at you during lunch"

but before maeve could reply, nessa spoke up rather loudly. the brown eyed brunette wanted to make sure maeve heard, considering damian told her that dean was thinking about asking maeve. although, nessa didn't know maeve personally, she already hated that dean preferred her "guess who asked me to the dance!" nessa gushed to lizzie

the blonde girl spoke up "who?"

"dean" nessa grinned in pure joy, trying to sell her act

meanwhile, behind the two, shawn and maeve looked at each other. shawn could see the way maeve's demeanor changed "oh my god! you're so lucky!" lizzie smiled excitedly

"i'm not going" maeve turned to shawn, before taking out her phone to see a message from the one and only dean salavtore

hey i was wondering if
you were going to the
snowball dance?

𝗠𝗔𝗘𝗩𝗘 😊
no.

maeve sloan didn't know why she was so upset. it's not like she actually wants to go to the stupid dance. she also didn't know why it bugged her so much that nessa was going to the snowball dance with dean salavtore. her eyes widen at the thought of dean, her next period was actually her last class and she sat right beside him

the last thing she wanted to do was talk to him. she sighs before pulling out her phone again and texting her father, hoping he could come and save the day

after what seemed like forever, myleen had finally picked up maeve. as they walked out of the front office, myleen keep her eye on her daughter. you can call it mother instinct or whatever, but myleen knew something was bugging her daughter

so once they got into the car and myleen was pulling out of her parking spot, she spoke up "so, what's up? why aren't you feeling good?"

maeve didn't look at her, she just stared out the window "my tummy hurts" she lied

myleen nods "okay, how about we take you to the doctors and have your dad—"

"no!" maeve quickly replied

the mother furrowed her brows "why not?" she asked, even though she could tell that her daughter was clearly lying

maeve sighs "because i'm not really sick, i-i just didn't want to be at school anymore" she admits

myleen nodded. she didn't want to pry maeve, so she switched the topic "so as i was walking into the office, i noticed a poster on the wall. why didn't you tell me there was a christmas dance going on?" she questioned curiously

"because i don't want to go" she replied

"why not? are madelyn and shawn going?" myleen asked

"they're going together"

"why didn't you ask someone to be your date?" myleen asked

"he already has a date" she says in a disappointed tone. and that's when myleen knew what was wrong

an idea popped into myleen's head, it might have not been the right call, but she had to teach her daughter that you don't ever need to depend on a man "i have an idea" myleen grins before heading to the mall

myleen's idea was simple, make the thirteen year old boy regret not asking her daughter to the dance. so after three hours later of find the dress maeve loved the most, they were back at her house. myleen was blow drying maeve's hair, seeing as maeve took a shower

after her hair was dry enough, myleen pulled out her curler and plugged it in. as they waited for it to heat up, myleen sat beside maeve "so, i know we haven't talked since you saw—"

"your boyfriend?" maeve finished her sentence as she fiddled with her bracelet

myleen nods "yeah" she whispers before sighing "look maeve, i'm really sorry you had to find out that way" she said truthfully

"why didn't you tell me?" maeve asked

"i-i just didn't want to throw someone into our lives, more importantly yours. i wanted to get to know him first, and i wanted to see if the relationship would actually go somewhere. luckily, we've been dating for a few months now, and i was just waiting for the perfect timing to introduce you two" myleen admitted

maeve nods, at least myleen wasn't like mark who just used to bring any woman into their home. with lexie it was different, she had already know her and she actually likes her "how long have you two been together?" she asked curiously

"seven months" myleen saw the way maeve's eyes widen

"wow. you might as well have told me the second before getting married" she jokes with a giggle

myleen glanced at her, upon seeing maeve giggle, it made her chuckle "i should've huh?" she jokes

maeve smiled, it was rare when the two would bond like this "well, i accept your apology. and i can't wait to meet him" she admitted

maeve saw the way her mother's eyes brighten up "really?" myleen questioned with a hopeful smile

maeve nodded "yeah" she smiles

myleen clapped in excitement, before calming down "but i do want you to know, that you will always come first, that i can promise you" upon seeing maeve smile, she was brought back to her mission "okay, okay. let's get you ready, and let's make this boy regret not choosing my baby to be his date" she grins before quickly placing a kiss on her temple. maeve sloan believed her mother, she hoped that for once, she was actually gonna be put first. but little did she know, that promises are meant to be broken

once myleen parked into the school parking lot, she got off to watch her daughter go into her first middle school dance. as she was doing maeve's makeup, myleen had messaged mark asking if he was free, so that he could see his daughter. but of course, mark was about to do a surgery and all he said was to send him a picture

as maeve exited the car, she watched as all the other parents were dropping off their kids. all the girls had bright and sparkly dresses, while she had on a neia ruffle dress in burgundy. the dress ended just above her knee. her makeup look was simple and natural, her hair was in beach waves, and her shoes, well they were the classic black and white vans. no matter how many times myleen tried convincing her to at least wear some flats, maeve wouldn't budge

"you ready?" myleen asked as she stood beside her daughter

maeve shook her head "i'm starting to regret this, what if we just leave?" she suggested as she looked up to her mother

myleen shook her head "absolutely not. you're gonna go in there and show him what he's missing"

maeve sighs before furrowing her brows. she looks up at her mom "you know what" causing myleen to look down at her "i don't even care anymore that he came with nessa. i'm gonna go in there and have a good time with my friends" myleen raised her eyebrows in surprise "thank you for everything, mom" maeve smiles before hugging myleen's torso "i'll text you" and with that, she was walking off towards the school's gym

as soon as maeve sloan stepped through the gym doors, she felt eyes on her. her two best friends, madelyn and shawn immediately had smiles on their face. nessa on the other hand, was glaring right through her skull. while, a certain blue eyed blond who was standing beside damian and nova, eyes widen in admiration

"i thought you said she wasn't coming?" olivia asked as she walked up beside her brother, damian. with grayson right behind her

"that's what she said" he shrugs

the group watched as madelyn was gushing about how beautiful maeve was looking. dean had to agree. every other girl was wearing a bright sparkly dress, and he honestly thought they looked like a disco ball. but maeve, she was wearing a simple red ruffled dress. and to him, she looked like an angel that fell from heaven

as the night went on, maeve was serving herself some fruit punch, when she felt a presence beside her. she furrows her brows slightly, before looking to her left, only to see dean salvatore with his signature grin "i thought you weren't coming?" he questioned

she felt her heartbeat start to pick up "changed my mind" she shrugs

he nods "well, do you wanna dance?" he asks as he notices grayson and olivia walk to the middle of the gym to join the rest of their peers

maeve raised a brow "shouldn't you be asking your date instead of me?" she questioned confusedly

it was dean's turn to furrow his brows, a snicker left his lips "my date? i don't have date? well i was gonna ask you, but you said you weren't coming" he shrugs

maeve's lips parted slightly, her eyes immediately turned to look at nessa. but to her surprise, nessa was glaring at her as she was already making her way over to them "so you didn't bring a date?" she questioned

dean shook his head "nope"

just before maeve could get a word in, nessa spoke up "hey dean" the blue eyed blond looked over to a smiling nessa "wanna dance?" she asks in hopefulness

maeve caught dean's small eye roll as he turned his attention back to maeve "actually, maeve and i were just about to go dance" he grins as he kept his blue eyes on maeve. he quickly removed his hand out of his pocket and walked close to maeve. he didn't hesitate to intertwine them, he turned back to nessa "sorry" he shrugs before pulling maeve onto the dance floor. a sly smirk curved on maeve's lips as she turned back to see a fuming nessa

as dean and maeve were on the dance floor, a slow song came on, one that she was very familiar with, chasing cars by snow patrol. dean's hands rested just above her waist, while her hands were loosely wrapped around his neck

dean kept his eyes right on maeve's, leaving the thirteen year old to become nervous under his stare. and dean could tell, which is why he found himself grinning. it's only been seventeen days since the two have known each other, but the second he met maeve, he thought she was the most beautiful girl he's ever laid eyes on

maeve finally looked away from his eyes and looked over his shoulder to see madelyn and shawn slow dancing as well. as soon as shawn met eyes with her, he gave madelyn a look. once the two turned around they found themselves smiling and madelyn was quick to hold up a thumbs up

if i lay here, if i just lay here. would you lie with me and just forget the world?

maeve found herself smiling and taking a few steps closer to dean. the thirteen year old boy also didn't let go, he kept his arms around her as she placed her head on his chest as they swayed to the music. both just forgetting the world
