My Crush

Chapter 12

It's the new year and we're back at school.

I walked passed Harry without even looking at him. I'm still mad at him, he hurt me but I miss him so much and I'm still kind of depressed.

"Lace" Kate glared at me.

"Don't you start! I'm not ready to wear jeans okay?! Sweats are comfy"

"I know they are babe but you need to get out of this funk and start feeling like yourself again"

"I don't even know what myself felt like before Harry" I sighed.

"I have to go but I'll see you at lunch"

I nodded "Hey Lacey"

I looked at Dylan "Hi Dylan" I smiled at him.

"Have you been feeling okay? You just seem kind of sad"

"No yeah I'm fine" I closed my locker as I began to walk with Dylan.

Harry's eyes caught mine "would you want to go out with me?"

"Wait what?!" I looked at Dylan.

"Would you want to go out with me?"

"Um sure" I nodded.

We exchange numbers and he left. I didn't want to go but maybe I should move on.

*****
So turns out Dylan's taking me out today so I quickly changed.

"Where are you going?" Emma asked me.

"I'm going out baby, but I will be right back okay?"

"Okay"

"Did you do your homework Lace?" My uncle asked me.

I smiled "don't have any"

"Really?" He looked at me.

"Yup" I smiled proudly "it's called doing it at school Uncle Anthony"

I left my uncle's house and got in Dylan's car "you look good Lacey"

"Thank you"

"So I was thinking of going ice skating if that's okay"

I hate ice skating "um sure but I don't really know how to ice skate so I'm going to need your help"

He chuckled "okay"

We got to the ice rink and I already hated this. I wanted to go home.

"Ready?" Dylan asked me.

"No, not really"

I grabbed his hands as we got in the rink.

"You got this" Dylan smiled.

"No I don't!"

"You do!" I skated around holding his hands "I'm going to let go"

"Don't you dare Dylan!"

He let go and I couldn't move, I was scared shitless to move. I managed to get my phone out and send a quick text. I tried to move and ended up falling on my ass.

"Fuck!" I looked around and Dylan was nowhere to be found "what a fucking asshat!"

I held onto the edge as I got out and put my shoes back on. I grabbed my bag and waited for my uncle. He pulled up and I got in.

"Date didn't go well?"

"No" I mumbled.

"I'm sorry baby"

I went back home changed and ate with my family then hanged out with my little sister.

"I miss daddy" I sighed as I held onto Emma.

"I miss daddy too sweetie"

"Why aren't we with him?"

"It's complicated Em, I'll explain it to you once you're older but for now it's just you and I"

"Okay, can you tell me another story of mom?"

"Of course princess" I grabbed a picture of my mother and put it in front of Emma as I told a story of when she was born.

"You were there?!" She looks up at me.

"Of course I was!"

She smiled "who's Harry?"

"Um Harry is a friend of mine"

"Do you like him?"

"Yeah Emma, I do. What movie do you want to watch?"

"Frozen!"

I laughed "Okay I'm going to get us ice cream okay?"

"Okay!"

I walked upstairs "John, do you want to see Frozen with Emma and I?" I took out the ice cream and grabbed two cups.

"Again?"

I laughed "she loves that movie"

"I know she does! But can't she pick another movie?" John asked me.

"Try it but it's not going to work"

"Give me some ice cream please"

I nodded as I finished our cup and grabbed another one for John. I was scooping ice cream and put it into the cup.

"Well?" I looked up at John.

"We're watching Frozen"

I laughed as I handed him his cup "I told you" I cleaned up after myself and went back downstairs and handed Emma her ice cream and her scoop.

"Don't make a mess Em"

"I won't!"

I laughed, frozen was one of my favorites too. Especially when the songs come up, I sing along and well Emma sings loudly but it's adorable.

John smiled over to me "sing with me John!"

"No no Emma, you're doing a great job"

I laughed "sing with her John!"

He groaned as he sang along, Emma wrapped her arm around his neck as they sang along. I laughed as he looked like he was miserable.

Emma knocked out so I laid her down. John and I went back upstairs to the kitchen.

"I hated that" he groaned.

"Oh that was so adorable" I playfully pushed him.

He laughed "you're okay?"

"For now, goodnight John"

"Goodnight Lace"

I turned off the light in the kitchen and I went back downstairs and laid next to my little sister.

"Goodnight princess"

Why is making friends so hard in college?
