Screw you, Vance Hopper! |Fem OC x Vance Hopper|

Chapter 6 |A Wonderful Day|

Grace's Pov

It's been a horrible day. School has been feeling like a drag, and Vance hasn't been making feel any better. I don't know what the hell is his problem, Billy keeps saying Vance has feelings for me, I've told him a hundred times that Vance doesn't have feelings for me. Sadly it's not just Billy who keeps saying Vance has feelings for me, it's spread to Finney and Gwen. Ever since Billy pointed out to Gwen how Vance keeps staring at me in the mornings and how he keeps 'flirting' with me, she hasn't been able to shut up about it, she thinks it's so cute and romantic. Finney on the other hand thinks it's horrible, he says it's gonna put a target on my back. I think Finney is only saying this because he's afraid of Vance. 

Billy still thinks Vance is going to ask me out sometime in this month, I know he's right but I still hope he's wrong, although I wouldn't mind if Vance did ask me out. I can't wait to see the look on Billy's face if he's wrong and Vance doesn't ask me out. But there's something on my mind, I can't stop thinking about it, while Vance and I were at the diner, the waiter (who I found out was named James) gave me his number and told me to call him, when the waiter finally left Vance was red.

He. Was. Pissed.

I've never seen Vance this mad before, jealousy was written all over Vance's face, Vance has no poker face, Vance's face is very expressive, so it was pretty easy to see that he was jealous. I haven't told anyone yet because I know if I do they'll tell Billy and then it'll be game over for me. I really need to tell someone, I need a second opinion, someone that's neutral, I think Bruce is that someone. I trust Bruce enough to know he won't tell Billy and Bruce will give me his honest opinion. I'm driving home from school, Billy keeps asking me if anything new happened with Vance, I've told him no several times but he just won't listen to me, I know Billy can see right through me right now, but I just can't tell him what happened today at school. If I told Billy what happened today he would lose his shit and he would tell me he is right and Vance does like me. Vance kept glancing at my lips, it was pretty noticeable, even the person next to me noticed and they even asked me what was going on between Vance and I. I simply told them that nothing was going on between Vance and I and even if there was it was one sided. All they said was "Sure." and smiled. I don't think they believed a word I said, but that's their problem not mine.

I'm taping on my car wheel as I'm driving, Billy still won't believe me and he keeps asking. "Are you sure Vance didn't do anything when the waiter gave you his number?" Billy asks once again

"Yup." I said popping the p.

"Are you sure?" Billy raised an eyebrow. "You're a horrible liar, why can't you tell me the truth?"

"Cause."

"Please." Billy begs.

"Fine." I sigh. "He just got really red and started acting really funny."

"I'm right and your wrong!" Billy laughs.

"Shut up." I mumble.

"Just tell me I'm right and I'll shut up about it." Billy says.

"You're right and I'm wrong, Vance does like me." I sigh.

"Thank you." Billy says proud fully.

"That doesn't mean he's gonna ask me out." I mumble loud enough for Billy to hear.

Vance's Pov

I've always hated Grace, I don't understand why for the past month and a half I've felt differently towards Grace. I mean she's perfect, I feel obsessed. 

Maybe I should ask her out. 

Yeah! That's what I'll do. I'll do it when we finish our project, that way it'll kinda be like our celebration.

God I sound stupid, dorky too. I've never really felt like this towards a girl. God, I hope I'm not getting weak, my Dad would beat the shit out of me if he found out I'm getting weak for a girl. Maybe I shouldn't ask her out, she would just say no anyways. I plop on my bed, pissing off my dog, he leaves my room and leaves me with my thoughts. All I could think about was Grace, I have no clue if she feels the same way, it sure looked like it yesterday. She was nervous, and red. But that stupid waiter had to come by and ruin it all, he kept flirting with Grace while giving me nasty looks. I didn't want to fight the waiter because Grace would be pissed at me, and I don't want that.

Grace's Pov

"If Vance asked you out, would you say no?" Billy says impatiently.

"I don't know."

"So there's a possibility that you would say yes?"

"Yeah, I guess." Of course I would say yes, but I could never say that to Billy. My feelings are changing for Vance, as much as he annoys me, I kinda enjoy it. I hate that I enjoy Vance's presence, I should hate him but I don't. He's really funny and he's got a great smile, even though he doesn't smile much. I don't understand why I like such a horrible person, Vance is so mean to people including me at some point, I just don't understand my feelings. I don't understand why he's being so nice to me either, he's always been mean to me, and I've always been mean to him.

"So you do like him?" Billy asks.

"I don't know."

"How do you not know?"

"I don't know." 

"Whatever." Billy mumbles and rolls his eyes.

"Hey, since Mom can't cook dinner do you wanna eat at the diner?" I ask to change the subject.

"So you can see your second boyfriend?"

"No!" I roll my eyes and laugh. "So we can eat."

"Sure."

---------------------------------------------------------

As we sit down, I notice that James, the boy that gave me his number is here. He takes notice that I'm in the diner, he quickly walks over to our table and gives me a warm smile. I quickly return the warm smile. "Welcome Grace and friend, what would you like to eat?" 

"A strawberry milkshake, fries, and a burger." I say cheerfully.

"I'll have what she's having." Billy blankly says.

"Alright. One thing Grace, I know I haven't known you that long but I was wondering if I could take you to dinner this Friday, to get to know each other." James winks at me.

"Um sure" I smile.

"Perfect" James walks away from our table. 

I turn to Billy who not only looks upset but also disappointed. "So that's the waiter Vance is jealous of?"

"Yeah, why?"

"He's a horrible person."

"So is Vance." My smile has disappeared. I don't understand why Billy is hyping Vance up, I thought a few days ago Billy didn't want me near Vance. "I don't understand why you're being so nice to Vance now, a few days ago you didn't even want me near him."

"I don't really want you near him, but me saying that won't stop you, so why not make a little game out of it." Billy sighs and looks anywhere but at me. "I won't be too mad if you date Vance, it's not like I can stop you."

"I'm not gonna date him so quit your worrying." I say as I place my hand on Billy's hand.

"I'd rather you date Vance than that asshole."

I roll my eyes and smile. "He's not an asshole. He's better than Vance anyways." I regretted saying that, I've only known that guy for a day, he's not better than Vance, but I can't tell Billy that. I don't know why I'm starting to have a soft spot for Vance but I'm not mad about it. I rather enjoy the feeling, as much as he annoys me and makes life a little harder and the days seem longer around him, I just like being around him. He makes me happy in a way no guy has ever made me feel. I can be myself around him and he can be himself around me, even though we did hate each other at one point.
