Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince

7. Enchanted

The school year goes on but today is the first home game of the season for Y/N. Taylor, Soph, and Dan go to support her and Sam. Taylor has been a little more quiet lately around Y/N having found her new feelings hard to handle. Y/N has been a little concerned afraid she had done something to upset the blue eyed girl. Soph and Dan have noticed this change realizing that they have feelings and wanting to help give them the nudge they need. 

Y/N's POV

It was the last period of the day and as I sit next to Taylor I am nervous thinking if she would still come to the game with her new found silence. Lately, she has been very quiet amd we haven't been able to hang out as much since i've been so busy with practice and my games.

I decide the best way to ask was to write a note and pass it to her that way I wouldn't get rejected with her words. With my best handwriting I ask if she'd be at my game today with a checkbox yes and no. I slowly slide it to her tapping her hand and quickly returning my attention to the teacher. 

She looks at me confused before seeing the note and slowly opens it reading what is inside. I see her smile, eyes crinkling at the sides before she grabs her pencil marking a box. Passing the note back I stare at it nervously wondering if the answer would change anything. I grab the note putting it in my lap to read and see she put a heart on the yes box. I can only stare at it in relief a smile spreading across my face seeing that the silence isn't because she is upset with me. I look up at her and see she is already looking at me with a smile. 

Our moment is soon interrupted by a stern voice saying "Excuse me Ms. Y/L/N and Ms. Swift is there something that you would like to share with the class. " I look forward quickly hiding the note in my pocket before responding for us both "No sir, sorry" he nods letting it go  and continues the lecture.

As class ends we all walk out together, knowing I have to stay after to go straight to the fields and locker to get ready. Soph, Dan and Taylor all agree on a time to get one another for the game. I smile knowing they'll all be there to support me. Sam waits for me to part from them so we can head out together. 

Before Taylor gets the chance to leave I run behind her and say "Hey, I wanted to give you something for the game tonight" she turns to look at me with curiousity and I put my hand out giving her one of my away jerseys with Y/L/N on the back. 

"I was thinking you could wear it tonight as a good luck charm for me" I say while nervously bouncing from one foot to the other. 

She smiles at me before jokingly saying "Seems more like a collar to me" we laugh but I quickly rebuttle saying "If it's too weird you dont have to" 

She shakes her head grabbing the jersey and says "I'll be in the stands rooting for you Y/L/N, you'll know how to find me" she walks and I stay watching her just so enamored by everything about her. 

Sam comes up behind me patting me on the back "You're down bad" 

"What ! No! It's not like that " I say defensively not wanting anyone to pop my bubble. I continue to say "She doesn't feel that way about me it's just our dynamic okay? Don't freak her out." 

Sam looks at me with a smirk "so you do like her" he says

I roll my eyes wanting him to let it go. I start walking away so we can head to the locker rooms. He quickly follows behind me. 

As the team gets ready for the game tonight I sit in the girls locker room alone thinking about everything. One of the perks of being the only girl on the team I got alone time in this locker room. Even being Intersex I am respected, and normally I didn't care what anyone thought anyways until it came to Taylor. She quickly consumes my thoughts I try not to think of her for too long but fail. Being so lost in thought I didn't notice someone walking in.
